View and shape invariant modeling of human actions for smart surveillance. This project aims to enable surveillance cameras to interpret videos and detect unexpected activity in real time. Existing surveillance cameras are unable to interpret videos. Because most are not monitored in real time, they play no role in improving security response time.

This project aims to enable surveillance cameras to interpret videos and detect unexpected activity in real time. Existing surveillance cameras are unable to interpret videos. Because most are not monitored in real time, they play no role in improving security response time. The project plans to develop algorithms to detect actions from any camera viewpoint in continuous videos, a capability that is imperative for smart surveillance yet missing in current techniques. This would improve security and safety response time to events that need immediate attention, such as crimes and medical emergencies, and offer autonomous aids to elderly care, smart homes, child minding, patient monitoring and post-trauma rehabilitation.Read moreRead less
Detecting, Locating and Tracking Human Faces using Skin Colour. With growing concerns for national security and public safety, government agencies in Australia and around the world are taking strong measures to introduce biometric-enhanced official identification documents such as passports, visas, and ID cards. The proposed face detection and tracking system will play a key role in personal identification and human activity monitoring. The developed system will have a huge potential in surveill ....Detecting, Locating and Tracking Human Faces using Skin Colour. With growing concerns for national security and public safety, government agencies in Australia and around the world are taking strong measures to introduce biometric-enhanced official identification documents such as passports, visas, and ID cards. The proposed face detection and tracking system will play a key role in personal identification and human activity monitoring. The developed system will have a huge potential in surveillance, security, law enforcement, and ICT. This project will contribute to building a knowledge economy in Australia and help safeguard and protect Australia from terrorism and crime. Furthermore, its outcomes will enhance the reputation of Australia as a leader in frontier technologies and smart information use.Read moreRead less
