Jacqui is a Senior Research Lecturer in Computer Science. Her research interests include: Geoinformatics, Computer Graphics, Image and Sound Processing, Information Visualization and Computer Science Education. Prior to joining AUT Jacqui developed a system for the European Union that provided fisheries data analysis and visualization with a focus on knowledge discovery and informed decision making. Since then she has been undertaking research into 3D GIS with a focus on the integration of multimedia and historical records for Whenua (land) and Whanau (people) and visualizations of Genetic Biodiversity and Environmental Genomic data.

Geoinformatics for History and Treaty

We are designing a system, integrating JADE (an OO database management system), Java Swing and JOGL, that allows users to view and mine data such as family trees and documents,and images, and to listen to oral histories that have a spatiotemporal visualisation reference. Meaningful visualisation of whakapapa and their relationships with the land and metadata is a unique challenge.One aspect of this project was the collection of data from an historically significant cemetery in Northland undertaken in early 2008. A prototype 3D visualisation of the cemetery and the people associated with the cemetery has been produced.

Audio Visualisation

We are developing new approaches audio visualization that simultaneously illustrates general audio properties and the component sounds that comprise a given input file. These methods could be used as an efficient means of scanning audio database queries and navigating audio databases through browsing, since the user can visually scan the file contents and audio properties simultaneously.

Genomic Information Systems

With the advent of ever-cheaper genome sequencing technologies, a wide range of organisms can now be examined at the genetic level, and biodiversity can be expressed in quantitative terms of genetic similarity and shared function. These techniques are now being applied to samples collected directly from the environment to give a cross-section of the diversity that exists at different locations in different habitats. We are developing an open source, 3D geospatial information system to examine and test relationships between biodiversity, geography, and the environment.

2D/3D Geographical Informations Systems

A Hybrid GIS: In this project we are developing a unique Geographical Information System (GIS) that seamlessly integrates 2D and 3D views of the same spatial and aspatial data. Multiple layers of information are continuously transformed between the 2D and 3D modes under the control of the user, directly over a base-terrain. (collaborative project with Dr. Stephen Brooks) Scrapbook GIS: We are developing a system that situates 3D terrains within a metaphor of a 2D interactive scrapbook or journal. This allows the geospatial professional to maintain 3D records of their analysis over time and perform calculations directly over extracted terrain regions. In addition, the system would be useful as a teaching aid imparting an understanding of the third dimension. (collaborative project lead by Dr. Stephen Brooks)

Marine Environmental Information Systems

This strand of the research builds upon previous work on ontological representation and n-dimensional information management and explores the application of knowledge-based techniques to developing a computational infrastructure for spatiotemporal decision support. FishCAM:Fisheries Computer Aided Management: In 2003-2004 I developed a GIS for EU Fisheries Management and Vessel Tracking. This work was funded by the European Union as a CRAFT (Cooperative Research Action for Technology) project, Key Action No. 1.1.1 - 5: Sustainable Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Ref: Q5CR-2001-70746
