Collision Avoidance in Shipping Lanes via Intelligent Sensor Data Fusion . This project aims to develop an online maritime traffic monitoring system for reliable collision/contact avoidance that exploits complementary data from high-resolution airborne sensors and surface vessel sensors. Our approach is based on optimal scheduling and fusion of the sensor data and possibly other sources of data to construct a comprehensive dynamic picture of maritime traffic, in real-time. Moreover, the proposed ....Collision Avoidance in Shipping Lanes via Intelligent Sensor Data Fusion . This project aims to develop an online maritime traffic monitoring system for reliable collision/contact avoidance that exploits complementary data from high-resolution airborne sensors and surface vessel sensors. Our approach is based on optimal scheduling and fusion of the sensor data and possibly other sources of data to construct a comprehensive dynamic picture of maritime traffic, in real-time. Moreover, the proposed methodology enables quantification of confidence in the predictions. This will provide ship owners, directly to their vessels and/or at the fleet management centres, information such as weather reports, reliable collision/no-collision warnings and avoidance strategies, on-the-fly.

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
