Image and vision systems

The team is focused on pioneering future directions and innovation in artificial vision systems through the integration of image/video processing software and hardware expertise. 

The work includes algorithm development and evaluation for the detection, recognition and tracking of objects in image sequences; digital image watermarking; and segmentation and registration of 3-d medical images.  Complementary research includes the development of hardware-based matrix algorithms for image processing.

Applications being addressed by this work are video surveillance for defence and civil security (CCTV); image verification and validation for the broadcasting industry; and tumour definition for radiation therapy planning and cancer diagnosis. 

Presently, funding is derived from a mixture of national industry and government sources.

Current research includes:
