This Project aims to provide new digital asset management tools for city councils to improve city services by utilising new sensing and automated learning technologies for recognising, tracking and auditing of assets. Currently, there are no digital tools available to handle these services. This project proposes new multi-modal sensing and mapping of city asset techniques by building new multi-modal dictionary learning procedures. The new framework will recognise different conditions of city assets in real-time to make decisions. Expected outcomes of this Project include integration and easy access of assets with unique digital identities to help city councils, governments, and navigation services for real-time asset monitoring.Read moreRead less

Dynamic Scheduling and Stochastic Control for Sensor Networks. Sensor networks are rapidly becoming important in applications from environmental monitoring, navigation to border surveillance. However, due to bandwidth constraints, even very simple networks have proven to be very complex to properly control. It is now necessary to efficiently allocate the 'limited available bandwidth' to sensors in order to share the most valuable data over the network. Therefore, this project proposes new techn ....Dynamic Scheduling and Stochastic Control for Sensor Networks. Sensor networks are rapidly becoming important in applications from environmental monitoring, navigation to border surveillance. However, due to bandwidth constraints, even very simple networks have proven to be very complex to properly control. It is now necessary to efficiently allocate the 'limited available bandwidth' to sensors in order to share the most valuable data over the network. Therefore, this project proposes new techniques using concepts of dynamic sensor scheduling and stochastic control to provide computationally feasible and near optimal solutions to the limited and varying bandwidth problem. This work will greatly enhance the operational performance of distributed sensor networks.Read moreRead less

Optical wireless communications: solving the spectrum crunch. This project aims to make optical wireless communication to handheld mobile receivers a reality by developing systems which combine holographic filters and microsystems to realise a new form of receiver. This will be based on analysis of all of the complex interactions of transmitter, receiver and channel properties.

This project aims to make optical wireless communication to handheld mobile receivers a reality by developing systems which combine holographic filters and microsystems to realise a new form of receiver. This will be based on analysis of all of the complex interactions of transmitter, receiver and channel properties. The new receivers will exploit the narrow field of view of holographic optical filters. This project will generate knowledge in the fields of communications theory and on the use of holographic filters and microsystems. This solution to the lack of available radio frequency spectrum which conventional wireless face will provide significant practical and commercial benefits.Read moreRead less

Summary
Distribution-free system identification: building models from experimental data under minimal statistical assumptions. In fields with strict safety or quality requirements, such as production control, communication and navigation, there is a great need for methods that can build models with guaranteed performance. However, there is a lack of efficient solutions that can work under minimal assumptions on the disturbances; the project aims at developing such methods.

The project aims to enable experiments with full spectrum occupation for transmission over field-deployed optical fibre. Future optical communication systems will have to use the full available spectral bandwidth and advanced multiplexing and modulation to achieve ultimate data capacity over a fibre link. To realistically test such links, experiments must be performed over "real-world" fibre links. By linking three telecoms research laboratories, the project will create a close collaboration optical network that enables this research. Anticipated outcomes are the opportunity to conduct research over field-deployed fibre links and to prototype and test communication technology over real-world links, creating a simplified path to commercialisation.Read moreRead less
