Research Highlights
-
3D Cadastre (Land Administration)
3D cadastre enhances land and property management to support registration and understanding of Rights, Restrictions and Responsibilities. This process involves 3D data capturing, modelling, visualisation, and storage of land and property information in 3D.
-
5G mmWave network planning and customer service qualification using ray-tracing
As the world grows to become exceedingly interconnected, technological advancements in spatial communication such as 5G have had to speed up as well. This is a research project with Telstra to facilitate 5G modelling in urban areas using Digital Twin.
-
ePlanning and eApprovals Project
Planning and building approval processes are still largely paper based, which make them inefficient and time-consuming, imposing significant costs on both industry and government. We aim to embrace the opportunities that digital workflow and digital twin technology provide to design, develop and deliver an innovative digital platform to facilitate effective, efficient and timely planning, building permits, approvals.

Current Projects

Detection and capturing of street pole positions from imagery using Artificial Intelligence
Mobile network deployment at mmWave frequencies (>20GHz) faces various challenges because of high signal attenuation and susceptibility to blockage due to obstructions (buildings, foliage etc). To meet the LOS or near-LOS conditions, the base stations need to be mounted on street poles or other types of street furniture to be closer to end users. Hence, accurate data on the configuration and locations of candidate poles is critical for the mmWave network planning process. Yet, the quality of this asset data is highly variable. Moreover, the network operator needs to enter into commercial arrangements with one or more utility companies even before initial strategic planning can commence. Therefore, an accurate, low-cost and automated approach for detecting and capturing street pole positions for any locality is of significant importance and in high demand.
-
Mobile Crowdsourcing for High-Quality Base Maps
Base maps are a fundamental infrastructure that users rely on to make decisions for a range of applications such as town planning and designing major infrastructures. However, the spatial accuracy and availability of base maps are still a global challenge as 75% of the world’s ownership boundaries are not registered in base maps. Therefore, there is a significant demand and challenge for developing affordable technologies for updating base maps. This project aims to develop an innovative and affordable method to capture ownership boundaries using crowdsourcing, Augmented Reality, and highly accurate mobile positioning technology to improve the accuracy of base maps.

Empowering Mixed Reality with Artificial Intelligence for Damage Assessment in Large Infrastructures
In this project, we aim to develop a Mixed Reality(MR) Application powered by Artificial Intelligence(AI) for use in Infrastructure Damage Assessment. Current damage assessment methods for major infrastructures such as bridges, tunnels are mainly manual, which incur significant costs and is still very dependent on the experts’ experience. This study aims to explore the integration of AI and MR to facilitate the inspection process and assess damages including cracks and spalls in major infrastructures. The state-of-art computer vision technology can improve the consistency and accuracy of the assessment processes. Finally, an application based on HoloLens will be developed, and evaluated.

Land-use regulation modelling and conflicts detection in 3D city models: A proof of concept based on Bentley software solutions (3D CityLuR)
The applications and understanding of Land-use Regulations (LuR) are more communicable when they are linked to the digital representation of the physical world.In order to support issuing a planning permit and move towards the establishment of automated planning permit checks, this paper investigates how LuRs related to a planning permit process can be modelled in 3D called 3D CityLuR.The showcase is a proof of concept for determining how these LuRs can be modelled in 3D and combined with 3D city models based on the selected geometric modelling approaches, identified parameters, and level of information need.

ePlanning and eApprovals Project - Building 4.0 CRC
Planning and building approval processes are still largely paper (PDF) based, which make them inefficient and time-consuming, imposing significant costs on both industry and government. Industry is effectively unable to test plan compliance against planning controls and building regulations, track progress of their applications, and efficiently track compliance through construction. The long-term objective of the CRC’s work in this area is to embrace the opportunities that digital workflow and digital twin technology provide to design, develop and deliver an innovative digital platform to facilitate effective, efficient and timely planning, building permits, approvals, ongoing compliance with planning controls, building regulations and other regulatory requirements.

Teaching
Information Visualisation (GEOM90007)
Information Visualisation is about using and designing effective mechanisms for presenting and exploring the patterns embedded in large and complex data sets, and to support decision making. Information Visualisation is important in a range of domains dealing with voluminous data rich in structure, among them, prominently, data in the spatial domain or data referenced to the spatial domain. Through its focus on presentation and interaction with spatial information, this subject complements related subjects that deal with the storage and querying of data (database subjects such as GEOM90018 Spatial Databases), and the processing of data (data analytics subjects such as GEOM90006 Spatial Analysis). This subject is vital for anyone wishing to work with large datasets. It will also be of relevance to those with an interest in design, especially graphical and interaction design.
Sensing and Measurement (GEOM20015)
This subject will introduce students to principles, technologies and procedures used for sensing and measurement of different physical environments and explore how the collected information supports decision making in various applications. This subject explains the theoretical and practical aspects of mapping the physical world to a digital representation. Students will learn the concept of a digital twin, the role of sensing and measuring for connecting the physical world with its digital representations, and exemplary applications of sensing and measuring in the domain of infrastructure engineering. The practical sessions will give hands-on experience with a range of sensing and measurement technologies in a problem-solving context. Students who develop proficiency in the practice of this subject will be able to apply this knowledge in the workplace for capturing and sensing the environment.
GEOM20015 Handbook
Coordinating
Residential Land Development (GEOM90045)
In this subject, students will learn about the land development process, residential subdivision design requirements in Victoria, the subdivision design process, energy efficient subdivisions, planning legislation and environmental controls; the preparation of plans of subdivision and association documentation under the Subdivision Act 1988; and the use of computer-aided design and drafting techniques. This subject is core to students considering a career as a licensed cadastral surveyor and is a requirement for accreditation by the Surveyors Registration Board in Victoria. It complements the knowledge of GEOM90041 Cadastral Surveying and ABPL90041 Property Law, and complements other subjects in the Spatial specialization of the ME (Spatial).
