The members of the ACVT have been working on recovering shape information from image sets for more than 15 years. Originally stereo and optical flow were the focus, but more recently we have been working a wide range of projects from interactive 3D modelling from image sets to modelling plants from images taken within the Plant Accelerator. Much of the work undertaken in this area has been aimed at making the process of 3D content creation much simpler and accessible. The concept of “User Created Content” is key driver in the research. This has application in a broad range of markets including media and entertainment, simulation, advanced manufacturing etc. This work also important to the area of Augmented Reality.

Twelve papers at CVPR

The ACVT had 12 papers accepted to IEEE Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 2015 (CVPR’15), one of the top 2 conferences in Computer Vision, which must be an Australian record. In terms of h5-index, CVPR ranks as the 7th venue in all Engineering and Computer Science after Nano and Nature journals. To put this in […]

Improved image analysis: maximised statistical use of geometry/shape constraints (DP130102524)

Prof. David Suter and Dr Tat-Jun Chin have been awarded a 3 year ARC Discovery Grant valued at $330,000. This project will improve image analysis to apply such applications as 3D street-scape reconstruction, synthetic inserts into video for special effects, autonomous navigation, and scene understanding. It will do so by maximally exploiting the geometry of […]

Inside Intel

Anton gave a talk at The Intel Labs in Santa Clara on Friday July 20. The talk is another in the ongoing series putting the case for developing tools for 3D User Created Content, and describing the work that the ACVT have been doing in the area.
