 + 
 +My work at IAS focuses on RGB-D mapping of indoor areas primarily for semantic mapping using handheld devices  
 + 
 +Prior to working at IAS and starting my Master's program I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics) / Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) at [[http://www.swinburne.edu.au/|Swinburne University of Technology]], Melbourne, Australia.  I have also worked as an electrical engineer at [[http://www.anca.com/|ANCA]], Melbourne, Australia.  Please don't hestiate to contact me for a complete resume.

 +====== Semantic Mapping ====== 
 + 
 +I am currently working on creating a framework to perform semi automated semantic mapping of 3D Models as captured from a Mircrosoft Kinect or the like.  Here is a video that shows a small demo of the pipeline.  This is still work in progress

 +====== RGBD Registration ====== 
 + 
 +Before my work on semantic mapping I have been working on techniques for improving registration in RGB-D SLAM.  Particularly, I looked at combining the depth information from the kinect with 2D features from the RGB camera.  I have implemented this registration method as a [[http://www.ros.org/wiki/rgbd_registration|ROS package]]
