This project spearheads research in advanced digital image and video processing technology, placing Australia at the forefront of both theoretical and applied research to safeguard Australia. It tackles fundamental issues identified in our earlier research in this area and consulting work for Victoria and NSW Police Departments in forensic investigations since 2000. Although the main investigation focuses on video surveillance and security systems for public safety, policing, crime prevention and border control, the outcomes of the investigation will have other applications, including digital photography for fine-art, medical imaging, picture archiving and communication systems for telemedicine and rural healthcare systems.Read moreRead less

Digital video coding and compression is an enabling technology and has diversified applications in audiovisual communications, multimedia computing, digital television broadcast and electronic entertainment industries. The project aims at spearheading research in theory, techniques and implementation of perceptual video coding in order to achieve constant and guaranteed quality in visual communications and services. It will explore a new approach to digital video coding other than the constant bit rate coding techniques which have dominated digital video research for the past four decades. It will form a part of the theoretical foundation and principles for the next generation video coding and compression techniques, and may lead to new standards and practice.Read moreRead less
Space-Time Block Codes using Orthogonal, Amicable, and General Designs. Space-time coding for multiple transmit and multiple receive antennas is the enabling technology for future wireless communication systems. Multiple antennas provide independent transmission paths resulting in an increased channel capacity without requiring costly additional bandwidth. Space-time block codes lead to the simplest receiver structures and thus to the most economical solutions. The currently known codes are base ....Space-Time Block Codes using Orthogonal, Amicable, and General Designs. Space-time coding for multiple transmit and multiple receive antennas is the enabling technology for future wireless communication systems. Multiple antennas provide independent transmission paths resulting in an increased channel capacity without requiring costly additional bandwidth. Space-time block codes lead to the simplest receiver structures and thus to the most economical solutions. The currently known codes are based on the work of one of the CIs, but so far only a small part of that work has been utilised. We aim to fully exploit the potential of this theory and move the performance of wireless systems towards their theoretical limits.Read moreRead less
