From the Chief Executive

Geoff PageC H I E F E X E C U T I V E

Since taking up the position of

Chief Executive earlier in the

year, I have been impressed by

the quality and variety of

research and scholarly activity

across the Institute. The

research programmes within

degree teaching departments

continue to develop well and this

has been commended by the

external monitors for these

programmes.

I regard staff involvement in

research and related scholarly

activity as critical to maintaining

excellence in teaching and

learning. It is essential that staff

remain at the cutting edge of

their discipline and that their

research publications contribute

to the relevant body of

knowledge. It is also important

for staff to engage in

consultancy work with industry

and the community and to

develop partnerships for the

purpose of research. Reference

to the important relationship that

has been established between

Industrial Research Limited,

WelTec and MIT as well as the

Genesis Consulting initiative is

included in the Report.

A major focus over the

coming year is to ensure that

resources are available to enable

staff to engage in research

whether they are involved in

teaching on degree level

programmes or teaching at

diploma and certificate levels.

One such resource is the

Institute’s Library and the Report

gives a brief update on its

developments in support of

research.

Collaborative research is

beneficial to staff and the

Institute and MIT staff continue

to be involved in cross-sector

initiatives. An example is the

formal relationship that has been

established between AUT’s

Diagnostics and Control

Research Centre and MIT’s

Department of Electrical and

Computer Engineering.

I am pleased to present the

2004 Research Report and to

acknowledge the research

achievements of MIT staff,

together with the BE(Hons) level

students. I look forward to the

continued growth of research

and scholarship at MIT.

Geoff Page

Chief Executive

Dr Andrew Chalmers,


Computer Engineering, was the

first recipient of the newly

established award for research at

the MIT Distinguished Teachers

Award Ceremony.

Andrew is Senior Lecturer:

Research Development in the


Computer Engineering. His

award recognises the years of

extensive research he has carried

out into colour measurement,

colour reproduction systems and

digital image processing.

In 2004 Andrew was involved

in a joint project into conservation

lighting for the illumination of

museum antiquities. This is a

medium term project, the

ultimate purpose of which is to

produce a practical source for

museum lighting, having a colour

increased radiant efficacy (i.e.

more visible light per watt of

radiant energy). This type of

source will be very suitable for

the illumination, under

conservation conditions, of rare

Distinguished Teacher Award forResearch

Left to Right: J Rodgerson,

Principal Lecturer, A Chalmers,

and L Jennings, HOD –




artefacts and artworks. To

establish the acceptability of

these sources for museum use,

they will be subjected to rigorous

evaluation by a panel of

experienced viewers. A grant

was received from the Getty

Conservation Institute, USA, for

the research.

Andrew is designing a piece of

research equipment that will be

taken to the Getty Conservation

Institute by his research

collaborator, (Kit Cuttle of The

University of Auckland). This will

be used to assess the so-called

‘Spectra’ light-source concept

that Kit has developed.

MIT has been invited to act as

the primary contractor on the

project with Andrew as Project

Director and Kit Cuttle (UoA) as

Design Consultant and Chief

Researcher.

During the year Andrew was

also engaged in the writing of

two papers to be presented at

the Conference in Granada, Spain

in 2005;

“A case for a CIECAM02

colour appearance space”; co-

authors S Soltic and R

Jammalamadaka (both at MIT).

This will be given a high-profile

session to be chaired by M.D.

Fairchild of RIT (USA) who is the

acknowledged expert on colour

appearance models.

“The colour of natural twilight”

- a comparison of measurements

of twilight conditions in Auckland

with those measured about 12

years ago in South Africa. The

paper explains how the results

will be useful to designers of

photo-electric switching systems

(at least those in the Southern

Hemisphere).

Distinguished Researcher Visits MIT

MIT sponsored the visit of

Professor Vladimir Kovalevski

from Germany who is a

recognised authority on digital

geometry and its application in

2D and 3D image analysis. Staff

of the Department of Electrical

and Computer Engineering had

the opportunity to participate in a

five day workshop led by

Professor Kovalevski and to

discuss various aspects of their

research projects with him.

Research with and for the community

MIT staff and students have

been actively involved in research

in partnership with industry and

the community. The following

outlines some of the initiatives:

Research and Development

Jumpstart is an initiative

between Industrial Research

Limited (IRL), Wellington Institute

of Technology (WelTec) and MIT

to provide research and

development assistance to small

to medium businesses (SME’s),

by connecting businesses with

the science and technology

capability in polytechnics and IRL.

Projects have been established

with eleven companies (14

projects). Students and

supervisors are getting involved in

activities such as embedded

control systems, optical imagery

and mechanical design through to

business process solutions.

SMEs benefit from receiving

assistance that they may not

otherwise have been able to

resource. MIT benefits through

providing:

• An enhanced learning

experience for students who

are able to work on real-world

issues while being exposed to

the business environment

• An opportunity for students

and academic staff to extend

into higher learning and

original research.

Genesis Consulting is a

marketing and advertising

consultancy service that provides

a work experience platform for

Business and Communication

Studies students. The final year

degree students gain experience

in serving commercial clients in a

consulting role.

Marketing research is

conducted on behalf of small to

medium sized business through

the greater Auckland area.

Research includes random-

sample telephone surveys and

shopping centre intercept

surveys. The consultancy

employs a large number of MIT

students as part-time research

interviewers, including students

from the Contact Centre

Operations programme.

Final year BE students

undertake major design

projects for industrial clients.

Library Support for Research

The quality of Library provision is

a key component of developing a

research culture. This includes

the acquisition of appropriate

resources, the training and

development of staff, and the

communication of the Library

services available.

Over the year the suite of

databases was expanded to

include Emerald Fulltext, and

through the EPIC consortium,

Infotrac OnFile and other

associated databases including

Business and Industry and

Business and Management

Practices from Thomson Gale.

Searching for serial titles in the

Library’s print and electronic

serials collections through the

catalogue has become easier

with the installation of EBSCO’s A

to Z module. Interested lecturers

are shown how to take advantage

through e-mail of the on-line

alerts service provided by some

of the database vendors.

When research topics are

outside the scope of the Library’s

own resources, professional

library staff assist researchers

with sourcing and obtaining

material in NZ and overseas.

Printed Circuit Board Inspection

using Machine Vision

This project aimed to provide a

more efficient solution to the task

of inspecting printed circuit board

(PCB) assemblies using image

processing and machine vision.

Research was carried out to define

the necessary hardware and

software to be developed. It was

intended that all essential features

will be implemented.

FPGA Implementations of DSP

Algorithms

This project involved an

investigation into implementing

DSP Algorithms such as filters,

correlation and FFTs in hardware

using FPGAs. This entailed an

investigation of Matlab Simulink-

to-HDL conversion, a comparison

between software and hardware

implementations, and an experiment.

Automated Goal Recognition

This project was for a sports

company. The research involved

investigating methods for

determining whether a goal has

been kicked in rugby games.

Required was an automated goal

detection system that can

recognise when a rugby ball

passes between the goal posts.

The project investigated the use of

image processing as a means of

automatic goal detection.

Hardware Image Processor for

Car Navigation by Machine Vision

A system based on an FPGA

was to be developed to determine

whether a lead car on a motorway

with a specific target is

accelerating, decelerating, moving

left, or moving right. This

information can be used to allow

the trailing car to follow the lead

car without human intervention.

The approach was to analyse a

series of still frames from a digital

camera mounted on the trailing

car. The image processing was

done in the FPGA to allow for real-

time processing.

Embedded Internet Systems

Comparison

A java-based embedded

Internet system (TINI) and a C-

based embedded Internet system

(Rabbit) were compared in this

project. Several important Internet

tasks including Web Server, email,

responding to user input and


controlling a small device over the

Internet were implemented on the

two embedded Internet systems.

Spectacle Fitting

This project is a continuation of

previous work and involves

implementing a 3D face modelling

technique using view morphing.

This provides image rotation to

allow the person to view their face

from different angles – and so gain

a better impression of their

appearance while wearing a

particular pair of glasses. Also

included are ways of internet

deployment and, if possible, to

deploy the working project on the

internet as a java applet.

Microsoft vs. Java

The aim of this project was to

analyze emerging technologies

and development tools for

Microsoft’s .Net and Sun

Microsystems’s J2EE Java 2

Platform Enterprise Edition with

emphasis on .Net as it is the

newer technology and developer

support appears to be growing.

Of particular interest in the

project are Borland’s new

development tools Borland C#

Builder, which is a .Net tool, and

Borland Janeva, which bridges

Java and .Net.

Maya Graphics API

The main aim of this project

was to explore the Maya API, and

to extend its functionality by

adding plugins. The Maya API

gives access to Maya’s internal

core, which makes it a powerful

tool to add new functionalities to

Maya. Maya’s user interface is

written in MEL (Maya Embedded

Language). In order to maximize

Maya’s extensibility, it was

necessary to understand and use

MEL and its API together.

OpenGL Graphics Language

OpenGL is an emerging

graphics standard that is used for

high performing graphics

applications. Its device-

independency has made OpenGL

a widely accepted API that

provides advanced rendering

features. This low level graphics

API provides the facility for

programmers to develop simple

and complex models easily and

efficiently. The aim of this project

was to characterize the features

of OpenGL and demonstrate each

of the major features with a

collection of working examples.

DirectX Media Technology

DirectX is a group of

technologies that are used to

develop games and animations.

The newer versions of DirectX also

support 3D features and provide a

platform for developing complex

3D graphics and animations. This

is a Microsoft standard and is used

in game consoles like the ‘Xbox’.

It also supports features like

sounds in games, multi-players

over networks and a wide variety

of input devices like keyboard,

mouse or joysticks. The aim of

this research was to investigate

the different features offered by

DirectX and put them to practical

use in the development of games

and animations.
