Congratulations to Anton van den Hengel, David Suter, Anthony Dick, and Henry Detmold, who were recently awarded a major grant for ‘Accelerating Australia’s large scale video surveillance research programmes’:

The research to be conducted using this infrastructure will bring immense benefits to Australia in terms of increased levels of public safety and in the protection of critical facilities from terrorism and other crimes, by developing better surveillance systems. This will provide both increases in measurable research outputs and opportunities for Australian business to commercialise these systems. The infrastructure will accelerate the pace of surveillance research and development in Australia, enhancing the competitiveness of both Australia’s researchers and the businesses that will commercialise these researchers’ discoveries.
