About me
During my M.Sc. in Physical Geography, I specialised in Geographical Information Science (GIS), dynamical modelling and remote sensing. The Department of Physical Geography at Utrecht University in the Netherlands is internationally renowned for its GIS modelling expertise and education. For my M.Sc. thesis, I focused on modelling the surface thermal heat-balance, using hyper-spectral remote sensing imagery. During my practical period at the Joint Research Centre in Italy, I further developed my dynamical modelling skills by application to river flooding for two main river catchments in Europe, the Meuse and Oder.
In 2000, I started my Ph.D. at the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) in the Netherland, focussing on modelling and visualising uncertainty in remote sensing segmentation and classification. During my PhD, I developed a software tool for texture-based segmentation of satellite images for identification of land cover objects. Another component of the tool is the use of interactive visualisation to improve awareness and understanding of uncertainty in remote sensing image processing. The software tool (Parbat) is available on the Internet for public use at http://parbat.lucieer.net. I was awarded my PhD degree in October 2004. More information about this research and my thesis can be found here.
From June 2004 until present, I have been a lecturer in GIS and remote sensing in the School of Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of Tasmania in Australia. I teach undergraduate units in GIS and remote sensing and I supervise Honours, Masters, and PhD students. Check out my teaching page for more information.
My research at the University of Tasmania continues to focus on texture-based segmentation, fuzzy classification, and interactive visual exploration of remotely sensed imagery. The application area of my research is in the analysis of high-resolution satellite imagery for mapping and monitoring of vegetation on sub-Antarctic Heard and Macquarie Island. I am involved in collaborative research projects with ecologists and I am leading 3-5 year spatial research projects funded by the Australian Antarctic Division and I am actively pursuing research funding for fugure remote sensing research. One of my more recent activities is the development of a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system for super high resolution imagery and laser scanning (LiDAR) Check out my research pages for more information.
