Description

This project will focus on the use of computer science and vision techniques to develop an image-based multi-parameter data collection system to monitor infrastructure earthworks, bridges and other infrastructure assets. It will build upon the work currently being carried out at the University using structure-from-motion and close range photogrammetry. This project will focus on adding intelligence and accuracy to the observed images and point clouds through image analysis techniques such as: model based object recognition and identification, segmentation, 3D modelling from point clouds, advanced visualization, and potentially other computer science techniques such as automated reasoning and machine learning.
