Overview

We conduct research in spatial information systems that can be used particularly in predictive systems and mapping applications.

Our research activity includes developing systems such as bushfire risk assessment, coastal sensitivity index ranking systems, flood warning systems, oil-spill trajectory systems, soil erosion assessment systems, landslide early warning systems, spatial based earthquake risk assessment systems; noise and propagation modelling, carbon monoxide (Co) propagation modelling and location-based services.

We use latest imaging technologies and state-of-the-art sensors (e.g. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Laser Scanning Systems such as Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), Terrestrial Laser Scanning Systems (TLS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Drone-based remote sensors (optical, infrared, thermal, hyper-spectral and LiDAR etc.) for various Earth observation applications and monitoring of environmental phenomenon.

CAMGIS is committed to contributing to the Earth Observation (EO) perspectives and priorities to national surveys and consultations, including the 2030 Space and Spatial Industry Growth Roadmap, which identifies key issues to accelerate and support growth in EO domains. The multidisciplinary work at CAMGIS allows it to align with UTS strategic research priorities in Health, Data Science, Sustainability, Future Work and Industry and Social Futures.
