CSIRO's Data61 Imaging and Computer Vision Group

We are the Imaging and Computer Vision (ICV) Research Group, part of the Cyber-Physical Systems Research Program at CSIRO’s Data61 Business Unit. We aim to harness the benefits of imaging and computer vision science for Australia. Imaging sources are becoming increasingly available. They include sensing the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g. ubiquitous RGB cameras, infrared, hyperspectral, or X-ray), ultrasonic imaging, and computed images (e.g. MRI, PET and CT) most commonly used for medical imaging. This deluge of images requires sophisticated analysis to extract useful information and augment images for human assistance and decision-making. Image analysis has been at the core of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution enabled by the rise in computer power affordability (driven to a large extent by GPU technology). AI methods are thus a key capability of our group, in particular, machine learning techniques such as deep learning.
