Education

• Ph.D., University of New South Wales (1971).
• M.Science Photo.Eng., ITC, Netherlands (1965).
• B.Surv., Hons.(II/I) University of New South Wales (1963).

Teaching

• Photogrammetry.
• Computer Assisted Mapping.

Research Interests

• Determination of Digital Elevation Models - Research on the determination of DEMs is currently based on: (1) interferometric methods for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, primarily the European Space Agency (ESA) satellites ERS1/2; (2) a combined image matching and interpretative approach to determine the type of terrain cover and hence identification of areas where errors may occur in computed elevations due to buildings and trees; and (3) the combination of image matching approaches and with the processing of terrain laser scan data based on data fusion. The last project is being funded by an ARC Discovery Grant from 2003-4, together with Professor Kubik from the University of Queensland.
• Linear feature extraction from remotely sensed data - Extraction of linear features from images have been based on first-order logic and by inductive machine learning. The latter approach is being undertaken in collaboration with Associate Professor Arcot Sowmya from the School of Computer Science and Engineering.

Professional Interests and Industrial Consulting

• Expert Witness and court appearance on a range of legal cases involving surveying and photogrammetry.
• President of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing from 2000-2004, after serving as Treasurer from 1992-1996 and Secretary General from 1996-2000.
