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.

A Bayesian Approach to Distributed Estimation for Multi-Object Systems. This project aims to develop new signal processing techniques that facilitate autonomous technologies for environmental perception, with the ability to efficiently process large data volumes from multiple sensing modalities. Rapid advances in sensors and networks have led to a digital data deluge, from which extracting useful information presents new technological challenges and opportunities.

This project aims to develop new signal processing techniques that facilitate autonomous technologies for environmental perception, with the ability to efficiently process large data volumes from multiple sensing modalities. Rapid advances in sensors and networks have led to a digital data deluge, from which extracting useful information presents new technological challenges and opportunities. To address this development, this project seeks to develop new distributed solutions for statistical estimation, which are specifically designed for dynamic systems with multiple object states, and are inherently scalable and robust. The potential benefits include new technologies for smart cities, autonomous infrastructure, and digital productivity.Read moreRead less
Robust, valid and interpretable deep learning for quantitative imaging. One of the biggest challenges in employing artificial intelligence is the “black-box” nature of the models used. This project aims to improve the effectiveness and trustworthiness of deep learning within quantitative magnetic resonance imaging. Deep learning has great promise in speeding-up complex image processing tasks, but currently suffers from variable data inputs, predictions are not guaranteed to be plausible and it i ....Robust, valid and interpretable deep learning for quantitative imaging. One of the biggest challenges in employing artificial intelligence is the “black-box” nature of the models used. This project aims to improve the effectiveness and trustworthiness of deep learning within quantitative magnetic resonance imaging. Deep learning has great promise in speeding-up complex image processing tasks, but currently suffers from variable data inputs, predictions are not guaranteed to be plausible and it is not clear to the end user how reliable the results are. The outcomes intend to deliver advanced knowledge and capability in artificial intelligence and machine learning that Australia urgently needs to capitalise on bringing deep learning into practical applications delivering economic, commercial and social impact.Read moreRead less
Estimation and Control of Noisy Riemannian Systems. Many application areas such as satellite control, computer vision, coordination of rigid bodies, require the estimation and control of systems subject to geometric constraints. Most current algorithms for doing this are deterministic and can fail catastrophically in the presence of noise. This project aims to provide:
(i) Methods for analysing and then redesigning deterministic algorithms to ensure stability in the presence of noise;
(ii) New ....Estimation and Control of Noisy Riemannian Systems. Many application areas such as satellite control, computer vision, coordination of rigid bodies, require the estimation and control of systems subject to geometric constraints. Most current algorithms for doing this are deterministic and can fail catastrophically in the presence of noise. This project aims to provide:
(i) Methods for analysing and then redesigning deterministic algorithms to ensure stability in the presence of noise;
(ii) New design methods that deal with noise in an optimal way;
(iii) Noise resistant methods for distributed consensus seeking systems and cooperative control systems.
The outcomes will advance and benefit spatio-temporal data analysis and coordination in areas such as transport, health and video-security.Read moreRead less
Vector network system identification. This machine learning project aims to provide more reliable ways to identify the structure and function of dynamic networks from both continuous and discrete network data. The project will use all the data and create principled new metrics. This could enable early diagnosis of network faults across a range of applications for example in power systems or diseased human brains. It could also enable discovery of critical functional subnetworks affecting reliabl ....Vector network system identification.

The project will use all the data and create principled new metrics. This could enable early diagnosis of network faults across a range of applications for example in power systems or diseased human brains. It could also enable discovery of critical functional subnetworks affecting reliable operation in large complex human systems (such as financial systems) or natural systems (such as gene regulatory networks).Read moreRead less

This project aims to develop a mathematical framework to combine multi-modal information coming from multiple sensors. These mobile sensors will be spatially distributed over a large-scale area for the purpose of multi-object tracking. The main application of this framework is for cooperative perception for intelligent decision making. Expected outcomes include a novel technique to integrate receiving information from multiple mobile agents (e.g. vehicle) to enhance their ability to anticipate situations in dynamic environments and to act effectively to enhance safety. This should provide benefits for the development of cooperative autonomous driving to enhance road safety.Read moreRead less
