Robust and scalable change detection in geo-spatial data. A flood of data in the form of text, images and video emanate from a proliferation of sensors. These data are collected but rarely analysed, rendering it meaningless. This project aims to develop new software and techniques to detect changes over time in large scale geographically referenced data (for example photomaps) for use across numerous domains.
Efficient structure search over large graphs. The project aims to develop advanced search technology to support large-scale graph applications. The success of the project not only brings a breakthrough in technology development but also provides training for high quality personnel in this important and growing area, and brings considerable economic and social benefits to Australia.

Summary
The AustLit resource: supporting research in studies of Australian literary and narrative cultures. AustLit traces the history of Australia’s engagement with the art of story by creating an innovative web-based environment where all aspects of literary history can be explored, analysed and shared. The 2013 program will broaden AustLit’s information base in areas ranging from contemporary multi-lingual publishing to publishing in the colonial era.
Design of adaptive learning visual sensor networks for crowd modelling in high-density and occluded scenarios. Partnering University of Melbourne researchers, with video surveillance experts SenSen, engineering consultants ARUP and the Melbourne Cricket Club, the project addresses research enabling a system-integrating, existing surveillance, infrastructure to model crowd behaviour and exit strategies, providing real-time analysis, prediction and response capabilities for venue managers and emer ....Design of adaptive learning visual sensor networks for crowd modelling in high-density and occluded scenarios. Partnering University of Melbourne researchers, with video surveillance experts SenSen, engineering consultants ARUP and the Melbourne Cricket Club, the project addresses research enabling a system-integrating, existing surveillance, infrastructure to model crowd behaviour and exit strategies, providing real-time analysis, prediction and response capabilities for venue managers and emergency services. This new capability enhances utilisation of security resources to prevent injury and fatalities in evacuation scenarios, applicable to existing venues and influencing the development of new facilities around the country. The project delivers researcher training, global clientele for local technology and a platform for local industry growth.Read moreRead less

Summary
Testing facilities for clean energy transformation technologies. As the world approaches peak oil production, the use of gasification to convert solid fuels to hydrogen and liquid fuels provides a low carbon footprint approach to the cleaner transformation of energy. This testing facility for clean energy transformation technologies will enhance the competitiveness of Australian science and engineering, contributing to the development of new technologies.
