Pattern-Based Video Coding Techniques for Real-Time Low Bit-Rate and Low Complexity Encoding Applications. This project will benefit the National Research Priority on Frontier Technology with applications in video surveillance, smart home design, and patient monitoring. It will enable Australia to lead the world in setting up coding standards and thus impact directly on the manufacturing initiatives of the multimedia communication and entertainment industries.

This project will benefit the National Research Priority on Frontier Technology with applications in video surveillance, smart home design, and patient monitoring. It will enable Australia to lead the world in setting up coding standards and thus impact directly on the manufacturing initiatives of the multimedia communication and entertainment industries. Telecommunication industries will be the immediate beneficiary by enabling quality live video transmissions at low bit rates in a cost-effective manner. This project will improve the ability of large organisations to operate virtually across huge distances in Australia with the aid of reliable multimedia communications using distributed devices of limited power and processing capacity.Read moreRead less
Structural-functional connectivity in the brain. This project aims to develop magnetic resonance imaging analysis methods to non-invasively study brain connectivity. Recent advances in imaging can comprehensively describe the brain’s complex network of functional and structural connections (the brain ‘connectome’). This project will simultaneously investigate structural and functional connectivity, and characterise the dynamic properties of the connectome using graph-theoretic approaches. This p ....Structural-functional connectivity in the brain. This project aims to develop magnetic resonance imaging analysis methods to non-invasively study brain connectivity. Recent advances in imaging can comprehensively describe the brain’s complex network of functional and structural connections (the brain ‘connectome’). This project will simultaneously investigate structural and functional connectivity, and characterise the dynamic properties of the connectome using graph-theoretic approaches. This project should give neuroscientists computational tools to comprehensively map the network architecture of the human brain.Read moreRead less
In-vivo detection of airway injury and disease using phase contrast X-ray velocimetry. Currently diagnosis of lung disease, a major cause of death in humans, is based on clinical symptoms that do not usually manifest until the disease is well advanced. This project will develop a novel imaging technique, X-ray velocimetry, to detect changes in tissue before symptoms arise, potentially leading to strategies for managing lung diseases.
