Summary
From Bayesian filtering to smoothing and prediction for multiple object systems. This project will develop new and improved algorithms for tracking multiple targets, such as tanks, submarines or planes, using the state of the art in mathematical and computational design. These will enable more efficient and accurate technologies for defence related applications including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
Parameter estimation for multi-object systems. Parameter estimation in multi-object system is essential to the application of multi-object filtering to a wider range of practical problems with social and commercial benefits. This project develops the necessary parameter estimation techniques for complete 'plug-and-play' multi-object filtering solutions that facilitates widespread applications.
A stochastic geometric framework for Bayesian sensor array processing. This project develops a mathematical framework, and a new generation of techniques, for sensor array processing to address real-world problems with uncertainty in array parameters and number of signals. The outcomes will enhance the capability of sensors in many application areas including, radar, sonar, astronomy and wireless communications.
Modelling and estimation methods for discrete multi-dimensional systems. Multi-dimensional signal processing plays a role in a variety of application areas, ranging from remote sensing for environmental monitoring and geological mapping, to medical imaging and the automatic control of industrial processes. The success of the project will provide mathematical tools for the advancement of the state-of-the-art in these broad areas.
Signal separation and tracking for augmented hearables and wearables. This project aims to develop augmentation technology in hearables, via solutions for source separation and tracking. Hearing is one of the five human senses. Augmented hearables or wearable devices with augmented hearing would extend and enhance hearing. New hearables could enable clear and natural hearing aids, suppress a partner’s snores, alert the wearer to the sounds of pending danger, and even perform automatic in-ear lan ....Signal separation and tracking for augmented hearables and wearables.

A Computational Study of Nonconvex and Nonlinear Semi-infinite Optimisation Problems in Signal Processing. The operation of filtering is an important part of most modern communication engineering systems. Many important problems, which arise naturally from communications engineering applications, can be formulated as nonconvex optimization problems and nonlinear semi-infinite and/or semi-definite optimization problems.

The operation of filtering is an important part of most modern communication engineering systems. Many important problems, which arise naturally from communications engineering applications, can be formulated as nonconvex optimization problems and nonlinear semi-infinite and/or semi-definite optimization problems. New optimization theory, in combination with novel computationally efficient solution methods, and efficient hardware implementation will be developed. The outcomes will enhance Australia's reputation in this cutting edge research and facilitate opportunity for international collaboration as well as commercial opportunity. The project will also provide an excellent environment for the training of junior researchers in the area.Read moreRead less
