Worlds Unseen: Inferring Hidden Structure with Generative Vision Models

Australia faces the national challenges of reviving its manufacturing base, improving the health outcomes of its ageing population and reducing emissions across all sectors. It is important to address these challenges to retain strategic capability, to ensure a resilient economy and to build an equitable and healthy society. Combining cheap and ubiquitous sensors with sophisticated processing, computer vision can contribute to solving these challenges. This project will leverage the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to understand the 3D world and its variations from imagery, developing new theory, algorithms and applications that will be published open-access with open-source code. Together with direct engagement of existing and new partners in government and industry, this will facilitate the translation of research outcomes into products. This research is likely to confer significa
