Australia has one of the largest exclusive economic zones in the world, and it is vitally important for Australia to understand and benefit from the oceans. This project will give new perspectives in developing underwater acoustic communications that are important for marine industries and scientific research in areas such as the exploration and exploitation of offshore oil and gas, and ocean environment and climate monitoring. This project will lift the international profile of Australia in underwater acoustic communications research and, through the training of early career researchers and PhD students, this project will also develop a skills base for Australia in underwater acoustic communications.Read moreRead less
Optimum Multi-rate Filter Bank Design for Speech Enhancement and Communication Systems. Multi-rate signal processing is gaining more and more importance in signal processing applications such as echo cancellation, microphone arrays, speech enhancement and equalisation. This project is aimed at obtaining high performance and high efficiency multi-rate processing designs by developing appropriate problem formulations based on solid mathematical foundations so that powerful optimisation techniques ....Optimum Multi-rate Filter Bank Design for Speech Enhancement and Communication Systems. Multi-rate signal processing is gaining more and more importance in signal processing applications such as echo cancellation, microphone arrays, speech enhancement and equalisation. This project is aimed at obtaining high performance and high efficiency multi-rate processing designs by developing appropriate problem formulations based on solid mathematical foundations so that powerful optimisation techniques can be applied. The developed multi-rate systems will result in low complexity and low power hardware implementations without significant compromise in performance in each application. Size and cost sensitive of communication devices such as personal data assistants, mobile telephones, hands-free devices, and laptops will benefit greatly from the outcome of the project.Read moreRead less
