The Imaging, Materials, Engineering and Computational (iMEC) Research Centre
The Imaging, Materials, Engineering and Computational (iMEC) Research Centre consists of four Research Groups: Imaging and Sensing, Advanced Materials, Human Performance and Experience and Computation and Simulation.
Vision-based Structural Health Monitoring
Vision-based Structural Health Monitoring
Monitoring deformations and movements of structures is an essential tool for asset management and condition monitoring. measurements. Through Dr Rolands Kromanis’s research in technological applications to understand behaviour of structures, he has developed a low cost vision-based deformation monitoring system – called DeForMonit. DeForMonit replaces this antiquated measurement collection apparatus with a vision-based, contactless technology solution that uses mobile phone camera technology.
The Creative and Virtual Technologies Lab
The Creative and Virtual Technologies Lab
The Creative and Virtual Technologies Lab is a multidisciplinary research environment where architects, artists, designers, engineers, computer scientists and human scientists collaborate to explore the potential of new visualisation techniques and digital design models and processes. This will enhance the quality of our buildings and cities in a sustainable way meeting user expectations.
