Applications for large format video surveillance are about to grow rapidly, starting with military applications and then moving into the civilian arena, highlighting the importance of compression for interactive dissemination, so as to make best use of limited communication channels. This project will develop an innovative representation for motion and depth/elevation maps, which addresses a key obstacle in the deployment of technology for efficient interactive access to large format video and geospatial imagery. These applications are relevant to Australia's defence and infrastructure for smart information use. Moreover, this is a strategic proposal to strengthen Australia's existing lead in aspects of interactive media dissemination.Read moreRead less
Advanced Processing for Through-the-Wall Radar Imaging. There is currently considerable interest around the world in imaging systems that can 'see' through-the-walls. This project is at the cutting edge of through-the-wall radar imaging research and technology. It will benefit both the defence and security industries, and position Australia among the leading countries in this technology, as only a handful of research teams around the world have the necessary background and expertise in this area ....Advanced Processing for Through-the-Wall Radar Imaging. There is currently considerable interest around the world in imaging systems that can 'see' through-the-walls. This project is at the cutting edge of through-the-wall radar imaging research and technology. It will benefit both the defence and security industries, and position Australia among the leading countries in this technology, as only a handful of research teams around the world have the necessary background and expertise in this area. The research outcomes will enhance the capability of the military, law enforcement, counter-terrorism, and search and rescue personnel. It will play a vital role in protecting and safeguarding Australia from terrorism and crime.Read moreRead less
Robust Beamforming for Radar Imaging. The impact of radar imaging technologies on security and search and rescue operations is indisputable. They play a vital role in safeguarding a country from terrorism and crime, protecting its borders, and predicting adverse weather patterns. Searching for survivors in disaster areas such as earthquakes and fires can greatly benefit from the proposed research. Law-enforcement officers can employ radar imaging technology to enable accurate determination of t ....Robust Beamforming for Radar Imaging. The impact of radar imaging technologies on security and search and rescue operations is indisputable. They play a vital role in safeguarding a country from terrorism and crime, protecting its borders, and predicting adverse weather patterns. Searching for survivors in disaster areas such as earthquakes and fires can greatly benefit from the proposed research. Law-enforcement officers can employ radar imaging technology to enable accurate determination of targets of interest, obstacles, weapons, victims, outlaws, and hostages inside enclosed structures or buildings. The proposed research and its findings will support the development of cutting edge radar imaging research and technology in Australia.Read moreRead less
