Sci+Tech in the City – Science oriented developments in image and video analysis

Melbourne, 15 Aug 2019

Our topic was science-oriented developments in image and video analysis.

Breaking with convention, we had 100% Data61 speakers this week.

Our speakers were: Yang Chen (Data61 Docklands), discussing image processing in remote sensing; Simon Harrison (Data61 Clayton) on coupling real-time video analysis and biomechanical models in order to predict forces in the human body and detect dangerous situations; and Yulia Arzhaeva (Data61 Marsfield) who presented current research on automated detection of pneumoconiosis (a.k.a. “black lung”, a coal miners’ disease) from chest radiographs.
