This project will explore a newly discovered approach to compressed sensing which uses mathematical arrays known as hash families.
Explicit methods in number theory: Computation, theory and application. This project aims to use explicit estimates to unify three problems in number theory: primitive roots, Diophantine quintuples, and linear independence of zeroes of the Riemann zeta-function. It will use computational and analytic number theory to reduce the quintuples problem to a soluble level. Pursuing relations between the zeta zeroes will overhaul many current results. This project will apply its findings about primitive ....Explicit methods in number theory: Computation, theory and application.

Approximate authentication systems for digital information. Assurance about the origin and integrity of digital content is crucial not only in high security applications but also in everyday life scenarios such as providing proof that an X-ray image presented as part of an insurance claim is authentic, or a news clip is not tampered with. The outcomes of this project will significantly enhance trustworthiness of multimedia information systems which are increasingly used in areas such as surveil ....Approximate authentication systems for digital information. Assurance about the origin and integrity of digital content is crucial not only in high security applications but also in everyday life scenarios such as providing proof that an X-ray image presented as part of an insurance claim is authentic, or a news clip is not tampered with. The outcomes of this project will significantly enhance trustworthiness of multimedia information systems which are increasingly used in areas such as surveillance (traffic control), health, digital content production and distribution, tourism and journalism. It will also result in the development of secure biometric authentication systems which are critical in securing cyber space.Read moreRead less

Summary
Partitioning and ordering Steiner triple systems. Steiner triple systems are fundamental mathematical objects with many real-world applications. This project will develop deep new insights into these objects, resulting in systems allowing many users to simultaneously use a communication channel, and in schemes for preventing the loss of computer data due to hard disk failures.
Data Fusion Techniques for Electro-Mechanical Braking Systems. The main focus of this project is to develop data fusion techniques for clamp force estimation and optimum utilisation of redundant information in a brake-by-wire system. Efficient integration of redundant information in an EMB system is expected to significantly improve the reliability and fault tolerance of such systems. The need for costly and complicated clamp force measurement sensors in electric callipers will also be eliminate ....Data Fusion Techniques for Electro-Mechanical Braking Systems. The main focus of this project is to develop data fusion techniques for clamp force estimation and optimum utilisation of redundant information in a brake-by-wire system. Efficient integration of redundant information in an EMB system is expected to significantly improve the reliability and fault tolerance of such systems. The need for costly and complicated clamp force measurement sensors in electric callipers will also be eliminated by accurate estimation of the clamp force signal, through fusion of more readily available measurements. Development of the proposed data fusion techniques influences the design of future EMBs and enhances the functionality of existing brake-by-wire systems.Read moreRead less
Novel time-frequency techniques for analysing and modeling non-stationary physical and engineering data. This project addresses an issue of fundamental importance in science and technology, where non-stationary data (which have time-varying statistics) are ubiquitous.

Therefore, the development of time-frequency tools to model and analyse non-stationary data has great potential for impact in a wide range of areas reaching from seismic data analysis to biomedical signal processing to sonar and radar. Employing techniques to be developed in this proposal, we expect to be able to classify and detect features of non-stationary data that were unrecognisable using hitherto known methods.Read moreRead less

Joint System Identification for Point Processes and Time-series. In various application areas such as neurophysiology, earthquake modeling, price spikes in electricity markets, the data of interest are point processes (aka sequences of events) or combinations of point processes and analog signals. To understand the underlying subject of interest we need to be able to extract the maximum information from these observation sequences. The current tools for doing this are very limited.

Our approach is based on optimal scheduling and fusion of the sensor data and possibly other sources of data to construct a comprehensive dynamic picture of maritime traffic, in real-time. Moreover, the proposed methodology enables quantification of confidence in the predictions. This will provide ship owners, directly to their vessels and/or at the fleet management centres, information such as weather reports, reliable collision/no-collision warnings and avoidance strategies, on-the-fly.
