Current Research

My research interests are in the area of Geographic representation and visualisation. This includes the design of various forms of geographic situated display, landscape visualisation, and how geographic information is displayed and captured via mobile devices. The '' website describes various explorations into landscape modeling including from 1875, , and the .

Past Research

Feature Extraction: Ideas developed during my PhD thesis on automated feature recognition from scanned drawings have been successfully applied to geographical objects found in satellite imagery. Starting with a and then with where we developed an object-based classification using contextual clues to discriminate objects of different types. Some of the general ideas have carried through to later work, for example understanding context continues to be important in terms of representation and visualisation where spatial context helps people orientate themselves.

Future Research

Ongoing research interests, and some ideas for postgraduate research projects, are:

  • Exploring the power of physical relief models
  • Projection Augmented Relief Models for informal learning and spatial decision support
  • Mobile geospatial apps - capturing and re-presenting richness of experience
  • Smart mobile field guides: designing natural language interfaces for orientation in the field
  • Locative media for exploring remote field sites through physical movement
  • Linking museum collections to landscape: geographic footprints for heritage information for delivery via GPS-enabled devices
