Computer Vision & AI Systems for Coopernook

Our CTO (Luke Cole) previously worked for Hemisphere GPS (orginally called BEELINE, and now bought out by AgJunction) as a "Robotics Engineer" implementing auto-guidance solutions for various quadbikes and agriculture tractors that was used by 100's of vehicles around the world.

For 10 years, starting as a teenager in 1998 - Luke Cole has also worked for leading research institutes and companies such as NICTA (now called CSIRO Data61), CSIRO, Seeing Machines and ANU Robotics System Lab (lead by Alex Zelinsky, who received a rare prestigious AO award in 2017 and was Defence Scientist of Australia from 2012 for 6 years). Luke's work included various autonomous mobile robot projects, involving computer vision, and even a self-driving car early 2000's. Back then OpenCV and ROS didn't exist, so we did a "roll-your-own" called VisLib and DROS comprised of 364,578 lines of code.

Lance Cole has also worked at NICTA and has a background of various hardware development, such as working for a contract company to the US millary (EOS), building the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS).

COLETEK's team all has a background in computer vision and machine vision, which have built a wide range of skills and technologies such as:

• Collision Avoidance
• Pattern Recognition
• Object Recognition
• Object Tracking
• Machine Learning
• Deep Learning
• Optical Flow, Point Clouds
• Stereo Active Vision, Panoramic Cameras, Fisheye Lens/Camera, Log-polar Camera, Time of Flight Cameras, Camera Array
• 3D Reconstruction

These technologies can be used for various applications such as:

• Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) or Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)
• Production Line Object Recognition
• Production Line Automation
• Asset Tracking
• Kid Tracking
• Pedestrian Tracking
• Face Recognition
• Load Haul Dump Automation
• Agriculture Automation
• Storm Drain Inspection Robot
• Robot Lawn Mower
• Forklift Automation
• Home Land Security Robots

At COLETEK, we empower businesses in Coopernook with advanced computer vision and AI systems. Our team of experts combines hardware, software, and AI to solve real-world challenges across industries. We understand the unique needs of the Mid North Coast region and have successfully delivered projects in agriculture, industrial sites, surveillance, and field use.

Our computer vision and AI systems can automate tasks, improve efficiency, and provide valuable insights. We leverage camera integration, dataset preparation, model selection, edge deployment, and inference pipelines to deliver robust and reliable solutions. Our iterative approach involves thorough discovery, design decisions, prototyping, iteration, testing, and production-readiness handover.

We collaborate seamlessly with clients across Australia, offering remote support and guidance throughout the process. Our proven track record includes over 150 R&D and product development projects, with contributions from leading institutions like ANU, CSIRO, NICTA/Data61, Seeing Machines, and Hemisphere GPS / BEELINE.

Whether you need camera-based inspection, object detection systems, AI-assisted monitoring, or vision-enabled robotics, COLETEK has the expertise to deliver. We prioritize practical considerations like lighting, environment, and deployment logistics to ensure seamless integration into your existing workflows.
