BIO

I am currently an Professor and core member of the Global Big Data Technologies Centre. I received the B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees from the Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China, in 1996 and 1998 respectively and the P.h.D. degree from the University of Technology Sydney, Australia in 2004. My research field includes computer vision, image processing, pattern recognition, machine learning, and multimedia processing. The application fields where the research outcomes are applied span video security surveillance, biometrics, video data analysis, and human-computer interaction. My research outcomes have been published in many premier international conferences, including ICCV, ECCV, CVPR, ICIP, and ICPR and the major international journals such as IEEE TIP, IEEE TSMC-B, IEEE TCSVT, IEEE TIFS, IEEE TMM, PR, PRL, Signal Processing, Signal Processing Letter. (See more details on Qiang Wu @ Google Scholar). I am also a principal investigator and/or a tech. lead in several industry research projects collaborating with Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA), Canon, Toshiba, Microsoft, Nokia, and Westpac Bank.
