Producing 3D video sequences from 2D input video. The project will develop new methods for extracting 3D information from existing films so that they may be used with 3D television monitors marketed by the industrial partner, Dynamic Digital Depth. The 3D representation will allow existing video material such as existing films, TV programs and news video to be viewed in 3D on a suitable 3D TV monitor. This will give a boost to the acceptance of 3D television and film as a preferred medium. Ex ....Producing 3D video sequences from 2D input video.

This will give a boost to the acceptance of 3D television and film as a preferred medium. Expected outcome is a software system that will speed the conversion of 2D video to a 3D representation through automatic and interactive analysis techniques.Read moreRead less

Image Based Visual Servo Control of Dynamic Under-Actuated Systems. The project builds on earlier work on visual servo control of under-actuated rigid body dynamics to develop and implement sophisticated and robust image based visual servo control for a wide class of under-actuated and fully actuated dynamic systems. The scope of the project extends far beyond basic testing of preliminary results to address key technical issues facing visual servo control algorithms at this time. The project i ....Image Based Visual Servo Control of Dynamic Under-Actuated Systems. The project builds on earlier work on visual servo control of under-actuated rigid body dynamics to develop and implement sophisticated and robust image based visual servo control for a wide class of under-actuated and fully actuated dynamic systems. The scope of the project extends far beyond basic testing of preliminary results to address key technical issues facing visual servo control algorithms at this time. The project is strongly motivated by the host of emerging applications for visual servo control of unmanned aerial vehicles. The experimental program within the project is based on control of a four rotor VTOL `hoverbot'.Read moreRead less
Pulsed Laser Deposition of Zinc Oxide-based Materials for Optoelectronic Device Applications. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is expected to play an important role in new optoelectronic components and systems such as visible and ultraviolet light sources, high temperature electronics and window materials for solar cells. This project will not only investigate the fundamental issues related to the growth of ZnO but also develop some solutions to realise the true potentials of ZnO-based materials. This project i ....Pulsed Laser Deposition of Zinc Oxide-based Materials for Optoelectronic Device Applications. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is expected to play an important role in new optoelectronic components and systems such as visible and ultraviolet light sources, high temperature electronics and window materials for solar cells. This project will not only investigate the fundamental issues related to the growth of ZnO but also develop some solutions to realise the true potentials of ZnO-based materials. This project is at the forefront of a number of important fields, and therefore the outcomes are expected to appeal to a large community of academics, national security and the high technology industries. It will position the Australian researchers among the pioneering groups in this area.Read moreRead less
