Automation of species recognition and size measurement of fish from underwater stereo-video imagery. The project aims to develop algorithms to automate the processing of stereo-video images recorded to count and measure the size of fish. This will improve husbandry and monitoring for finfish aquaculture at reduced costs, create technology export for industry partners, and develop cost effective, non-destructive finfish sampling tools for marine agencies.
3D Image segmentation and shape characterisation driven by topological persistence. Tomographic imaging is emerging as a new tool to help tackle a remarkable array of scientific challenges. What distinguishes healthy bone from that of osteoporosis sufferers? How does groundwater contamination spread? Why is a macadamia nut so hard to crack? What causes the iridescence in a butterfly wing? These are just a few of the questions being answered at tomographic facilities in Australia alone.

What distinguishes healthy bone from that of osteoporosis sufferers? How does groundwater contamination spread? Why is a macadamia nut so hard to crack? What causes the iridescence in a butterfly wing? These are just a few of the questions being answered at tomographic facilities in Australia alone. By combining sophisticated mathematics with cutting edge image-processing algorithms, this project will yield a new class of topology driven image analysis techniques that will improve the accuracy and reliability of predictions made from tomographic images.Read moreRead less
Testing theories of two-phase fluid flow in porous media through experiment, imaging and modelling. The process underlying oil extraction, groundwater flow and the sequestration of carbon dioxide is that of one fluid pushing another out of the microscopic spaces in porous rocks and soils. Using the latest three-dimensional X-ray microscopes and computing technology, the project will image and model these fluid flows, allowing theories to be tested for the first time.
