Advancing robotic vision systems: a next-generation event camera plugin for robotics simulators
This project aims to develop an event camera plugin for a robotics simulator, advancing the capabilities of robotic vision systems in simulation environments. Event cameras offer a unique approach to visual data acquisition, with each pixel operating independently and triggering an event once a pre-set change in brightness threshold is surpassed. This eliminates the need for conventional frames, while providing low-latency, high-speed operation and an exceptionally wide dynamic range.Previous attempts to simulate event cameras, such as rpg_esim and v2e, have …

Examining customer responses to body worn cameras
As a direct response to increasing customer aggression, retailers are implementing measures to keep frontline team members safe – assets such as body worn cameras (BWC) and duress watches. Concerningly, there is a dearth of research into these technologies in a retail setting, with much of the earlier research being undertaken in corrective services, policing and train guards.Current research identifies, in some cases, the presence of such technologies can lead to a ‘back-firing’ effect (the aggressive individual becomes more aggressive), …

Presenting the Australian Cancer Atlas using different geographic structures
The Australian Cancer Atlas (ACA) is an award-winning and globally recognised tool for understanding the spatial variation in cancer incidence and survival across Australia. For statistical rigour, the ACA currently presents estimates of relative risk by “SA2”, an area structure defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics that groups together similar subpopulations. However, many health organisations use different areal structures, such as Primary Health Networks (PHN) or electoral boundaries.The goal of this project will be to develop methods for summarising …

Investigating the utility of hex maps to communicate information for the Australian Cancer Atlas
The Australian Cancer Atlas (ACA) is an award-winning and globally recognised tool for understanding the spatial variation in cancer incidence and survival across Australia. Currently in the ACA, the areas where the majority of the Australian population live (ie areas in cities), are not immediately visible in the Atlas. The goal of this project is to develop hex visualisations of the ACA estimates.The student may work either at QUT (GP or KG), at Cancer Council Queensland or both, depending on …
