Autonomous Functions for Smart Cars. The aim of this project is to develop autonomous functions for smart cars, such as lane departure warning, driver fatigue warning, and automatic lane following. Every year 70,000 people are killed in road accidents, 95% of which can be attributed to driver error. The potential outcomes of this project therefore significant.

The aim of this project is to develop autonomous functions for smart cars, such as lane departure warning, driver fatigue warning, and automatic lane following. Every year 70,000 people are killed in road accidents, 95% of which can be attributed to driver error. The potential outcomes of this project therefore significant. Many of the theoretical methods required for this project have been developed by our group. However, further theoretical refinements followed by experimental verification is necessary. For smart cars to be accepted, the systems must be demonstrated to be reliable and to operate in a wide range of conditions.Read moreRead less
Development of a three dimensional audio-visual next generation speech recognition system. To overcome the disadvantages of current Audio-Visual Speech Recognition Systems, we propose a set of robust algorithms in three dimensional computer vision and speech processing. The proposed system will have far-reaching implications in various areas, for example, human-machine interaction for speech recognition in automated dialog systems and voice-to-text conversions.
