Multimedia Signal Processing and Management
Multimedia Signal Processing and Management focuses on two challenging issues:
- How to reduce the amount of storage and communication bandwidth requirement by developing innovative compression techniques.
- How to extract and represent multimedia features for effective and efficient indexing and retrieval.
Current research projects include:
- Very low bit rate video compression: this Australian Research Council Discovery Project is developing a realtime pattern-base low bit rate video coding for low powered and limited processing electronics devices.
- Automatic multimedia information indexing and retrieval: to develop techniques for automatic feature extraction, indexing and retrieval of digital audio, image and video.
- Image database visualization: to provide effective content overview.
- Advanced image processing including image segmentation, face recognition and applications in medical imaging.
Multimedia Communications and Sensor Networks
Multimedia Communication and Sensor Networks research aims to provide ubiquitous and seamless communication with multimedia apability, and to conduct remote monitoring and surveillance.
Current research projects include:
- Enhancing mobile multimedia communications by exploiting the mobility of Information devices.Developing innovative protocols to efficiently use network resources.
- Wireless ad hoc networks.
- Wireless sensor networks to provide remote monitoring and surveillance.
- Quality of service provision for multimedia and wireless communications.
- Spectrum management in cognitive radio.
Developing Innovative Multimedia Applications
Developing Innovative Multimedia Applications focuses on research into the conceptual and technical aspects of the application of multimedia technologies including:
- Human computer interaction
- 3D graphics
- Information visualisation
- 3D computer games
- Educational multimedia
Bringing Angkor Watt to Life
Angkor's ruined Hindu and Buddhist temples are the most conspicuous architectural remains from the civilisation that dominated mainland South East Asia in medieval times. Recent reappraisals of past research have underlined the importance of the Angkor as a living city, its temples interconnected inseparably with the communities surrounding them. This project aims to bring the temples and the neighbourhoods that sustained them back to life using techniques derived from the latest 3D graphic and game computer technologies. Through 3D reconstruction and simulation the opportunity exists not only to recreate every day life at Angkor but also to expand upon traditional conceptions of the city and make original contributions to interpretations of its function, extent and significance.
