Brooks (University of Adelaide).
The Image Analysis Program is concerned with the development
of automated techniques for the analysis of images arising in
domains such as medicine, radar and video. The Program is driven
by rapid developments in data acquisition and processing technologies,
and comprises four projects:
The
Cytometrics Project researches the detection of cancerous
and pre-cancerous changes in samples of human cells. Such malignancy
associated changes (MAC's) are caused by the presence of a potentially
dangerous lesion nearby in the body. The accurate detection and
quantification of MACs through computer controlled microscopes
and computer image analysis will effect a major improvement in
the accuracy and a decrease in the cost of screening for the detection
of cervical cancer. In addition the technique promises to revolutionise
the screening, diagnosis, and management of other diseases including,
lung, bladder, and oral cancers.
Video Surveillance
and Analysis Project researches surveillance of video
image streams for security purposes. This includes the automated
detection of sensitive objects; reduction of false positive detections;
tracking of entities through multiple cameras; construction of
video repositories, intelligent searching through video repositories
for recorded events of interest; and cooperative utilisation of
networks of cameras.
The High Resolution Radar
Project researches the extraction of relevant information
from high resolution radar images. The Defence force relies upon
a variety of sensors including optical, infrared, and radar to
locate and track adversarial forces. These sensors provide a huge
flow of data. The analysis of this data flow over large landmasses
that are sparsely populated is impossible without a prescreening
process to detect significant targets. This project has worked
closely with RLM Systems Pty Ltd and DSTO.
The Firmware Project researches the problem of developing
faster search tools for genome matching along with accelerator
implementation via FPGA technology. This project is led by Professor
Greg Knowles (Flinders University).
