Arko Lucieer
Dr Arko Lucieer is a senior lecturer in Remote Sensing and GIS in the the School of Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of Tasmania, Australia.
He received his MSc in physical geography with a specialisation in hyperspectral remote sensing from Utrecht University in the Netherlands in 2000.
His PhD research focused on image segmentation and visualisation of uncertainty related to segmentation and classification. He obtained his PhD degree in 2004 from the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) and Utrecht University in The Netherlands.
During the last five years, Dr Lucieer has been a lead investigator on the use of very high resolution imagery for mapping vegetation communities and their dynamics in the sub-Antarctic and Antarctic region. The focus of his research is on texture measures, image segmentation and fuzzy classification, and multi-scale change detection techniques.
More recently, Dr Lucieer has initiated a research project looking at the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for multi-scale and ultra-high resolution mapping of natural and agricultural environments.

Steve Harwin
Having completed a surveying degree with a strong GIS and application development focus in 1997 Steve undertook a Masters in 1998-99 investigating change detection, analysis and visualisation using GIS and remote sensing. Steve is now returning to that research, his PhD will focus on change mapping using UAVs, particularly helicopters. Prior to returning to study Steve has worked extensively as a web mapping expert (ArcIMS, Manifold IMS, Erdas Apollo, GeoServer, SVG and VML) and more recently as a senior software engineer on the Eonfusion application and the LandscapeMapper product at Myriax.

Darren Turner
Darren Turner BSc Grad Dip ASOS (Hons) completed an Honours degree in 1994 on the classification of Antarctic satellite data using an Artificial Neural Network. He is now employed as a Computer Systems Officer and has completed a number of remote sensing and other research projects with both the University of Tasmania and the Australian Antarctic Division. In 2009 he commenced a PhD degree with the School of Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of Tasmania. His PhD research focuses on developing an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) as a high resolution remote sensing platform.

Josh Kelcey
Josh graduated in 2009 from the University of Tasmania with a Bachelor of Science with Honours. The focuses of his undergraduate studies were upon the Life Sciences (primarily Plant Science) and Geography and Environmental Science. For his Honours year, he conducted a Remote Sensing study in the Great Lake area in central Tasmania. Under the supervision of Dr. Arko Lucieer, he investigated the potential of texture for the discrimination of different shoreline classes. This centred upon the extraction of texture features of differing spatial scales and texture measures with the use of grey level co-occurrence matrices.
In 2010 he joined the TerraLuma UAV team at the University of Tasmania, commencing a PhD under the supervision of Dr. Arko Lucieer and Dr. Chris Watson. Both his PhD and his role within this team is the development of a multiscale image analysis technique directly applicable to the UAV.
Multiscale image analysis is built from the principle that objects/phenomenon occur within a natural environment at different spatial scales. The general task of any multiscale analysis is divided into two parts; the initial generation of a multiscale dataset and the identification of features within this dataset. The flexibility and control of a UAV in capturing landscapes at specific spatial scales provides immense potential in the generation of multiscale datasets.

Luke Wallace
Luke is a PhD candidate in the Centre for Spatial Information Science at the University of Tasmania. His current project aims to further the use of LiDAR data within forestry management by increasing the temporal scale at which it is collected through the use of a UAV collection strategy and integrating this with the current long term, large scale LiDAR collection strategies often employed by forestry companies.
Luke completed his Bachelors degree in Spatial Science with Honours in 2007 focussing on geodesy and geodetic GPS analyses. From 2007 onwards he has been involved in a number of GIS and remote sensing based projects in the role of research assistant/associate at the University of Tasmania. This has included work on the “Smartline” coastal map of Australia, Image Segmentation and the extraction of individual tree metrics from LiDAR data. In 2009 he worked as a GIS officer within the Department of Environment, Parks, Heritage and Arts, Tasmania, with the main project of note being the development of an automated Bush Fire Risk Assessment and fire management model for Tasmania.
