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.

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.
Analysis of Polynomial Phase Signals with Missing Observations. Many non-stationary signals in radar, physics and communications can be modelled as polynomial phase signals. These signals are often incomplete due to missing observations from intermittent sensor failures, outliers, receiver errors, periodic interference and inaccessibility of data. The aim of this project is to develop robust and computationally efficient methods for recovering such signals from small data sets when there is a la ....Analysis of Polynomial Phase Signals with Missing Observations. Many non-stationary signals in radar, physics and communications can be modelled as polynomial phase signals. These signals are often incomplete due to missing observations from intermittent sensor failures, outliers, receiver errors, periodic interference and inaccessibility of data. The aim of this project is to develop robust and computationally efficient methods for recovering such signals from small data sets when there is a large proportion of missing observations. This will contribute to a conceptual advancement in the field of signal processing and will provide new methods for use in applications such as radar, astrophysics, seismology, vibration analysis and communications.Read moreRead less
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.
