Interactive Visual Media Processing ( IVMP ) Group
Providing highly efficient and responsive access to huge reconnaissance sources over challenging communication channels
Research Project
Headed by Professor David Taubman , the Interactive Visual Media Processing ( IVMP ) Group at UNSW develops coding , estimation , and post-processing technology for visual media , including imagery , video , multi-view , hyper spectral and volumetric content .
This work has a strong focus on interactive visual communications for remote browsing of large media sources , and allows for transmission , processing , and caching of only what is needed , when it is needed , and with minimal latency . These attributes are all highly relevant to defence imaging , which can involve very high-resolution sources , potentially with many spectral planes , together with challenging , potentially hostile , communication environments .
Key capabilities
> Internationally recognised experts in scalable media compression
> Extensive experience in media analysis algorithms for depth , motion and related metadata
> Professor Taubman has led 9 ARC Discovery projects and collaborated closely with DSTG
Differentiators
> Deeply engaged with international standards organisations ( ISO / IEC , SMPTE , IETF )
> Engaged with major stakeholders in geospatial intelligence , medicine and professional media and entertainment industries
> Closely linked to spinout company , Kakadu Software Pty Ltd , which has commercial implementations of the relevant compression and communication standards
> Satellite-born defence imaging systems , including surveillance drones
