Summary on Grant Application Form
Research will be carried out into methods of automatic feature extraction and fast data processing of image data. The work will develop existing research in the department of Geomatic Engineering into the determination of 3D co-ordinates, the extraction of features and the presentation and visualisation of the results. Input data will cover a wide range of scales from very detailed images of the human body and faults in engineering fabrication, through images of buildings and manufacturing plant, aerial photographs to images from satellite data. Tools will be developed, in collaboration with our industrial partners, to cover a range of operations and where possible to allow the same tools to be used across a range of scales. The tools will be used for automatic registration of images, integration of data from different sources, identification and extraction of features and representation of surfaces of all types. At all stages of the process fast processing and appropriate viewing is necessary to optimist the accuracy and efficiency of the process. In all aspects of this work validation is a key component and for this stereo viewing and editing is essential. Although automation is a goal, in practice, and in particular in development work, human interaction is essential and fast, versatile visualisation is a vital ingredient.
