Current Major Funded Projects

Space-based data streams for updating and enriching Victoria’s Foundation Spatial Data, SmartSat CRC and Victorian Government,

2023-2024, Dr Andrew Mellor, Prof Matt Duckham, Kate Williams, Dr Chayn Sun

This project investigates the opportunity to combine space-based data streams with advanced spatial data fusion and machine learning techniques to increase the quality and speed of maintaining and enriching Victoria’s spatial data while reducing the ongoing cost. The project outcomes will better address industry and community needs, for example, supporting Digital Twin Victoria (DTV) users who are looking for ever higher resolution, accuracy, and currency in 2D, 3D and 4D.
