Scalable Robust Video Surveillance over Constrained Networks. Real-time monitoring of large numbers of people is becoming increasingly important for applications such as efficient service delivery and security against both common crime and terrorism. The use of human operators for such tasks is infeasible due to the large amount of data collected. Existing autonomous video surveillance systems are prone to high numbers of false alarms and often require expensive hardware. This proposal seeks ....Scalable Robust Video Surveillance over Constrained Networks. Real-time monitoring of large numbers of people is becoming increasingly important for applications such as efficient service delivery and security against both common crime and terrorism. The use of human operators for such tasks is infeasible due to the large amount of data collected. Existing autonomous video surveillance systems are prone to high numbers of false alarms and often require expensive hardware. This proposal seeks to address both difficulties by using rigorous statistical signal processing methods to optimally fuse information from a network of low-cost cameras.Read moreRead less
Efficient learning from multiple brain imaging data sets. Brain imaging data analysis methods have proven to be very effective in the study of brain functions and the identification of brain disorders because they minimise the modelling assumptions on the underlying structure of the problem. Analysis of multiple brain imaging data sets, either of the same modality as in multitask or multisubject data sets or from different modalities as in the case of data fusion, is a challenging problem in bi ....Efficient learning from multiple brain imaging data sets. Brain imaging data analysis methods have proven to be very effective in the study of brain functions and the identification of brain disorders because they minimise the modelling assumptions on the underlying structure of the problem. Analysis of multiple brain imaging data sets, either of the same modality as in multitask or multisubject data sets or from different modalities as in the case of data fusion, is a challenging problem in biomedical image analysis. This project will lead to fundamental contributions as well as techniques that address both problems: extraction of relevant features information from multisubject brain imaging data sets of the same modality or from fusion of brain imaging data sets collected from multimodalities.Read moreRead less
