Biography

Clive Fraser is currently a Professor in the Dept. of Geomatics at The University of Melbourne, where his particular areas of research interest are in digital close-range photogrammetry including 3D forensic analysis and accident reconstruction, industrial measurement systems and the metric exploitation of high-resolution satellite imagery. He also serves as Research Director of the Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information. Prior to his current appointments, Prof. Fraser served as Reader and Head of the Department of Geomatics from 1993 to mid 1998, and prior to that was for 10 years Vice President of Geodetic Services, Inc. in Florida, one of the World’s leading companies in industrial photogrammetric systems and services. He served in a part-time capacity as Technical Director of Geomatic Technologies Pty Ltd of Melbourne from 1998 to 2001and he was a Director of Photometrix Pty Ltd from 2003 to 2007.

Prof. Fraser is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, Engineers Australia and the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, and he is an Honorary Member of The Remote Sensing and Photogrammetric Society (UK). In recognition of his academic and professional work he has earned numerous international awards including the Fairchild Photogrammetric Award, the Talbert Abrams, Wild Heerbrugg and Bausch & Lomb Awards, all from the American Society of Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing; and the President's Medal, President’s Prize and E.H. Thompson Award from the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetric Society of the UK. Prof. Fraser has a number of active international research and industry collaborations, and he serves as a consultant to industry in Australia, Japan, the US and Europe. He also serves on the Editorial Boards of four of the leading international journals dealing with photogrammetry and remote sensing and he has authored 300 scientific publications.
