This project aims to develop the concept and demonstrate the practicality of a new fibre optic communication technology that allows data transmission rates beyond currently accepted fundamental limits. This project aims to design and demonstrate the feasibility and practicality of utilising nonlinear modes of data transmission. This would assist in the management of fibre impairments that fundamentally limit further increase in data rate causing the capacity crunch problem. This is expected to present Australia with leading edge technology to compete in the area of high-speed, high-capacity communication, which is the backbone of our economy, heath, education, social participation, and security.Read moreRead less
Optimising throughput and Delay in network coded systems. This project addresses one main disadvantage of network coding: decoding delay. By solving this issue, we will unlock the true potential of network coding: delivery of high data rates in wireless and wireline networks. This will make network coding an attractive choice for live video streaming and mission-critical delay-sensitive applications.
Video plasticity: Scalable video coding with inherently consistent motion. This project aims to improve how video coders represent motion, leading to more efficient motion descriptions and fewer distinct motion fields. The project will develop motion inference algorithms that ensure consistent motion descriptions throughout a group of pictures, allowing seamless integration of scalable video coding, motion compensated temporal filtering and motion compensated frame interpolation operations. The ....Video plasticity: Scalable video coding with inherently consistent motion. This project aims to improve how video coders represent motion, leading to more efficient motion descriptions and fewer distinct motion fields. The project will develop motion inference algorithms that ensure consistent motion descriptions throughout a group of pictures, allowing seamless integration of scalable video coding, motion compensated temporal filtering and motion compensated frame interpolation operations. The project is expected to support an efficient and interactive video browsing experience, largely decoupled from original frame rate and resolution; and deliver practical solutions that can be efficiently implemented on consumer devices.Read moreRead less
