Overview of Research Portfolio
The CRCSI defines research as the innovative use and application of emerging technologies, as well as the development of new technologies. The CRCSI undertake world class research leading to new applications of spatial information and enabling technologies, to generate new wealth for CRCSI partners.

|
Location
To undertake research to facilitate the development of a low-cost, real-time GPS-based positioning systems capable of providing accurate location in any environment to support a range of surveying and mapping applications.

|
Image Analysis
This program will research and develop automated processes for feature recognition, extraction, 3D reconstruction, modelling and mapping from space-borne, airborne and terrestrial imaging sensors and laser scanning systems. The objectives of the program are to develop, through collaborative research with industry and other programs of the CRC, new technologies, methodologies and systems to provide leading edge spatial information tools for application and commercial exploitation by Australian industry.

|
Spatial Information Systems
Spatial Data Infrastructure and Spatial Information System designs support the efficient access, retrieval and delivery of spatial information to locations where it is needed from locations where it is stored.
|
|
Remote Sensing
The Program will develop new applications, software and spatial data products from remotely sensed data to monitor the environment and inform resource management.
|
|
Visualisation
Good management depends upon an ability to model spatial and temporal relationships; simulate physical processes; represent relationships and outcomes in accessible form; and visualise results. This program is concerned with analysis, modelling, visualisation and collaboration.
|
|
Demonstrators
The demonstrator program brings together key groups in a cooperative relationship to complete demonstrator projects in a short period (about 18 months). Typically they use existing information and technologies in innovative ways to reveal new areas of research in support of the SI industry and to show the power of SI to existing or new users. This encourages adoption of SI and improves the awareness of the market about “spatial information” capabilities and applications.
|
|
Education and Training
To provide educational and training opportunities to people who are or may be employed by industries using SI (initially the CRCSI participants); and to provide a framework of support for the research students involved in the CRCSI projects.
