Awesome Animations

Welcome to a small sampling of the work our staff and students undertake. Some of what you will see is a result of our research, and some we have done just for fun. We hope you enjoy our small display!

Last Dawn Creator: Scott Kerr Type: image/gif (42.8 kb) Description: Last Dawn is a game about surviving in a zombie infested world, scavenging for supplies and trying to defend you base from zombies until you are rescued. The game was made entirely by first year Computer Science student, Scott Kerr, who built on an engine made from scratch over a period of months. The game came 5th at 2007 "Interzone Nullarbor", which is an annual Australian Game Development Competition. We expect big things from Scott! 2009 views since 16-04-2007	The Zyberflux Developed by: Onetwenty (Anthony Prior, James Strauss, Minh Tran, Jason C. Wong) + Adam Matera, Poya Manouchehri Supervisor: OneTwenty Type: video/x-msvideo (26.0 Mb) Description: Zyberflux is a little game project that the Onetwenty group created for the IZNullarbor game competition 2007 (and came second). Onetwenty is a group of PhD students mainly from UWA, and many were part of the 60hz real-time graphics research group. It was developed in linux with their own custom physics, animation and rendering systems, along with other libraries such as OpenGL, SDL and fmod(for sound) 2220 views since 12-04-2007	Detection of Fingerprints Creator: Bob Hastings Supervisor: Dr Peter Kovesi Type: Animated GIF (3.6 Mb) Description: Fingerprints are made up of ridge lines and intervening valleys. The points at which these lines branch or terminate are the features used in fingerprint based identification. In this image, the fingerprint itself is separated out from the rest of the image by identifying where the ridge pattern is more or less uniform over a small area of the image. The ridges are then enhanced using a process that smoothes, or blurs, the image along the direction of the ridges, but not at right angles to the ridges. Watch carefully as small breaks, false joins and zigzags are gradually removed from the ridge pattern. 1115 views since 12-04-2007
Particle Swarm Optimisers Creator: Dr Cara MacNish Type: application/octet-stream (35.3 kb) Description: This applet shows two particle swarm optimisers attempting to find the minimum of a 2-dimensional function called Schaffer's F6. A cross-section of the function is shown below (not an easy function!). The minimum is at the origin. 1460 views since 29-03-2007	The Footy Kick Creator: Daniel Wedge Supervisors: Dr Peter Kovesi and Dr Du Huynh Type: video/x-msvideo (276.0 kb) Description: This research centres on sports video analysis. Multiple video sequences contain significant amounts of 3D information. Using computer vision techniques, we recover information such as the bal's location - this could be used to determine if a goal or behind should be awarded. 1603 views since 20-03-2007	Software Engineering Zoo Creator: CITS1220 students Supervisor: Rachel Cardell-Oliver Type: video/x-msvideo (934.1 kb) Description: Come visit this eclectic collection of dragon, tiger, scorpion, insect, cat, meerkat, bulls and dogs that inhabit the zoo! These are creations of first year Software Engineering Students, who have been working on creating LEGO animals that interact with their environment. 980 views since 16-11-2006
