Welcome to the Robotic Imaging Lab at the University of Sydney, lead by Dr Don Dansereau. Our work explores how new imaging technologies can help robots see and do.
Follow Don on Twitter here: @dgdvision, and the ACFR / SIRIS here: @SIRISRobotics.
Check out our new video introducing some of the team:

Alexandre Cardaillac lead this work introducing new physics-based volume scattering phase functions into Blender 4.3. This was driven by our need to accurately simulate imagery from underwater robots. As you can see in the video, it has utility in all sorts of scattering environments including fog, clouds, and even interstellar dust! We hope it's useful in a wide range of scientific as well as artistic applications!
This work was conducted as part of the ARIAM Research Hub in collaboration with industry partner Advanced Navigation.
Congrats Jack Naylor @nackjaylor for being one of five speakers at the #IAC2024 NextGen Plenary in a few days! https://t.co/trUrwXxP2m

We're excited to introduce TaCOS: Task-Specific Camera Optimisation with Simulation. We combine procedural environments with clever optimisers to design better cameras, supporting continuous, discrete, categorical & interdependent variables.

Congrats to Dr Avie @girlinrobotics who has completed the requirements for the award of a PhD! Avie did a fantastic job in her work on low-light imaging, culminating in mililux-level drone-based mapping with standard off-the-shelf hardware. Watch for a few more papers soon... =)
