Content Based Image Retrieval
The World Wide Web is a visual place, full of images and video. As of September 2010, Flickr hosts over 5 billion photos, while over 2 billion videos are watched every day on Youtube. This is a vast store of information, but how can we find what we want? Currently, images are almost always identified […]

Large-Scale Intelligent Video Surveillance
A key step towards automating the monitoring of video from many cameras is to generate an understanding of the paths which targets may take between their fields of view. This activity topology information is the foundation for many fundamental tasks in networked surveillance, such as tracking an object across the network. Although it could be […]

MSR 3D User-Created Content Seminar
Prof van den Hengel will give a seminar at Microsoft Research in Beijing in July titled “3D User-Created Content”. The talk describes much of the recent ACVT work in trying to make the generation of 3D content more accessible. The abstract is The technology to capture and visualise 3D content was invented before the aeroplane, […]

ACVT researchers have had 5 papers accepted to The International Conference on Computer Vision 2011, which will be held in Barcelona in November.
Multi-model predictions of ecosystem flux under climate change based on novel genetic and image analysis methods (FS110200051)
ACVT is collaborating with University of Adelaide scientists to develop image analysis methods that can be applied to model biodiversity. Prof. Anton van den Hengel is a CI on the project being led by Prof. Andy Lowe. The ARC has awarded the University of Adelaide a Super-Science Fellowship valued at $556,800 to do this work. The […]
