An objective of the High Resolution Scene Brightness or BRDF Task for the CSIRO Earth Observation Centre is the development of guidelines for best practice outputs (including prototype software) for high resolution Aerial Photography, Video, Digital Camera and Airborne Scanner data to minimise the effects of scene brightness. A main outcome of the task has been the development of the Reference ...

This paper discusses similarities and differences in autonomous helicopters developed at USC and CSIRO. The most significant differences are in the accuracy and sample rate of the sensor systems used for control. The USC vehicle, like a number of others, makes use of a sensor suite that costs an order of magnitude more than the vehicle. The CSIRO system, by contrast, utilizes low-cost inertial,...

In the first decade of twenty-first century, CSIRO’s role broadened toward national mission-oriented research, less directly focused on supporting Australian industry. terms its legislated mandate, it deliberately placed increased emphasis ‘contributing to achievement objectives’ and ‘assisting industry’. This change was accompanied by an organisational restructuring with introduction a flagshi...
