Semantic change detection through large-scale learning. This project aims to develop technologies which understand the content of images before higher-level analysis is performed. This approach is intended to allow more accurate and reliable decisions to be made using automated image analysis than has previously been possible. The project will particularly investigate the detection of change in the contents of an image.
Automatic real-time detection of infiltrated objects for security of airports and train stations. Infiltrated objects represent a very high security threat in critical areas such as airports and train stations. In order to neutralise such a threat, this project will develop new automatic technologies capable of detecting infiltrated objects in sensitive areas in real time, analysing the movements of their original carriers in the nearby areas, and raising attention accordingly. The technologies ....Automatic real-time detection of infiltrated objects for security of airports and train stations. Infiltrated objects represent a very high security threat in critical areas such as airports and train stations. In order to neutralise such a threat, this project will develop new automatic technologies capable of detecting infiltrated objects in sensitive areas in real time, analysing the movements of their original carriers in the nearby areas, and raising attention accordingly. The technologies will be based on the automatic analysis of camera videos made by computers without the need for assessing or storing the identities of common passers-by. The potential of application is huge extending beyond airports and train stations to any public areas.Read moreRead less
Crowd tracking and visual analytics for rapidly deployable imaging devices. Crowd tracking and visual analytics for rapidly deployable imaging devices. This project aims to develop visual analytics technology that adds machine intelligence to a rapidly deployable time-lapse imaging platform. Such devices can operate on solar and wind power, and be remotely programmed (via a cellular network) to take photos and send them to a server at given times. This project, which focuses on monitoring crowds ....Crowd tracking and visual analytics for rapidly deployable imaging devices. Crowd tracking and visual analytics for rapidly deployable imaging devices. This project aims to develop visual analytics technology that adds machine intelligence to a rapidly deployable time-lapse imaging platform. Such devices can operate on solar and wind power, and be remotely programmed (via a cellular network) to take photos and send them to a server at given times. This project, which focuses on monitoring crowds of objects of interest, is expected to introduce “smart” imaging platforms that could be triggered and shoot high-quality photographs when “events of interest” occur. This project could make Australia both a world leader in video analytics and secure through on-line threat detection, and improve traffic control and agriculture.Read moreRead less
