Sensors, Understanding Video, and Interactive Television
Speaker: Dr Peter J. Kootsookos, ITEE
When: 2003-02-05 14:00:00
Venue: 78-420
Host: Associate Professor Brian Lovell
Abstract:This seminar examines several research and development projects that
the speaker is or has been involved with. The research areas are 2D
& 3D sensing and video understanding.
The 2D problems investigated are direction of arrival estimation and
associated problems using sensor arrays. The 3D sensing projects are
automated optical 3D inspection of solder paste deposits in the
electronics manufacture process [completed with MVT] and
vectorization and classification of 3D aerial survey data [ongoing
with AAM Geoscan].
The video understanding problems are face and object recognition and
tracking, specifically for semi-automatic addition of video
hyperlinks to interactive television programs [ongoing with eMuse
Technologies].
Motivation for these problems will be given, as well as the key
ideas generated by the research projects.
Biography:Peter received the B.E. and M.Eng.Sc. degrees (both in Electrical
Engineering) in 1986 and 1989 from the University of Queensland,
Brisbane, and a Ph.D. degree in Systems Engineering from the
Australian National University, Canberra, in 1992.
Since then, he has worked for various government (DSTO, CRC),
university (ANU, UQ) and commercial research (MVT Ltd, eMuse
Technologies Ltd, Haptica Ltd) concerns in Australia and Ireland.
