The project expects to develop algorithms for jointly estimating compact motion and shape descriptions of video content. These descriptions will allow quality re ....Object-based motion estimation for highly efficient streaming video. This project aims to develop motion and shape estimation tools that allow video content to be predicted at any point in time using frame data that is available at other points in time. Applications of this include video coding, frame synthesis for temporal re-sampling. The project expects to develop algorithms for jointly estimating compact motion and shape descriptions of video content. These descriptions will allow quality refinement by progressively adding spatial and temporal detail. It is expected that these compact descriptions will lead to significantly more flexible and efficient transmission of video content over modern communications networks.Read moreRead less

A novel API and associated algorithms will be developed to exploit the emerging technology of software defined networks (SDN) for improving the efficiency and responsiveness of interactive media browsing applications. The approach applies to conventional streaming video as well as more interactive services based on scalable media compression and communication technology, notably JPIP (IS15444-9) video. Recent advances in motion coding will be combined with new spatio-temporal transforms to develop an efficient inter-frame extension to the JPEG 2000 standard that is fully compatible with JPIP. Each of these innovations is important in its own right, but together they will facilitate a highly compelling interactive media browsing experience.Read moreRead less

Summary
This project aims to use advanced cell imaging techniques to view precise interactions that occur between cells as our immune system attacks and destroys infected cells. The techniques to be employed are highly advanced and involve cutting edge science. Essentially these techniques allow the production of movies of the body's immune system in action. Determining these interactions in such detail is important for understanding the body’s ability to fight infection.

By considering the settlement of Australia as a process within an interconnected global empire the project will increase understanding of our beginnings and inject Australian experience into international scholarship. It will increase our understanding of Africa, 'the world's largest unstable region', which is peculiarly absent from the Australian consciousness. Paul Lovejoy, our international PI, is a world leader in African history, and his involvement in this initiative will focus the attention of the international African historical community on Australia. The project will also provide an inclusive historical context to assist the incorporation of a large refugee cohort from Sierra Leone.Read moreRead less
