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
On Line Real Time Inspection of Vehicle Structures. The aim of this project is to develop an automated, on-line, real-time, inspection system that can detect incorrect placement or absence of specific components on the underside of a vehicle structure. The inspection system is to be integrated with a factory wide quality control and information gathering system. Development of an automated inspection system will enable the reliable identification of defects and tracking of quality levels in the ....On Line Real Time Inspection of Vehicle Structures. The aim of this project is to develop an automated, on-line, real-time, inspection system that can detect incorrect placement or absence of specific components on the underside of a vehicle structure. The inspection system is to be integrated with a factory wide quality control and information gathering system. Development of an automated inspection system will enable the reliable identification of defects and tracking of quality levels in the final assembly station. The expected outcome is the design and implementation in prototype form, of an intelligent, automated inspection system that can accommodate a wide range of product variants.Read moreRead less
Predictive Assessment Tool for Beach Conditions Using Video Imaging and Neural Network Analysis. Beaches are vital part of Australian lifestyle and economic development. Monitoring of variable beach conditions is vital for beach safety and for management of storm erosion. The aim of this project is to develop an assessment tool which will permit a rating system of beach conditions both from an environmental as well as a leisure aspect. This tool will be developed into a software analysis system ....Predictive Assessment Tool for Beach Conditions Using Video Imaging and Neural Network Analysis. Beaches are vital part of Australian lifestyle and economic development. Monitoring of variable beach conditions is vital for beach safety and for management of storm erosion. The aim of this project is to develop an assessment tool which will permit a rating system of beach conditions both from an environmental as well as a leisure aspect. This tool will be developed into a software analysis system which will include components of artificial intelligence to enable the system to use feedback loops to create a better prediction of the beach morphology relative to the breaking wave characteristics.Read moreRead less
