FUTURES EXPO SERIES
Machine Learning and Computer Vision ( MLCV ) Group
Improving visual analytics via automated , multimodal understanding across the electromagnetic ( EM ) spectrum
Research Group
MLCV has broad expertise in automated image understanding . It works on challenging visual problems , such as automated video analysis , behaviour analysis , object detection , segmentation , object tracking , and automated search in natural disasters .
The team works toward automating many repetitive , laborious tasks to augment geospatial analysts , specialist physicians , and other professionals in their decision-making and improve system robustness .
In remote sensing , it has developed techniques based on crowdsourcing and deep learning for detection of visual change due to disasters , such as bushfires , using remotely sensed optical images , SAR and geomaps . The granularity of changes ranges from whole buildings and land cover to the pixel level with accurate quantification .
The team has deep experience in analytics for biomedical radiology datasets and other clinical data . Its expertise can be transferred to many security-related problems , including video surveillance , facial recognition , behavioural analysis , and automated vehicles .
