Summary
Internet of things testbed for creating a Smart City. The Internet of Things Testbed facility replicates the conditions of a city-wide distribution of sensors and data collection applications to model in real time the functioning urban sensing elements of a smart city, translating vast amounts of sensor data into meaningful information and ultimately action.
Automatic music feature extraction, classification and annotation. Music is a huge industry currently undergoing a major revolution. The industry is shifting from music-making to music retrieval and its incorporation into a range of products from TV, and film, to music streaming into locations and events, as well as MP3 players and all kinds of electronic devices. This research will support immediate retrieval of music that meets the current industry need, based not just on titles, composers and ....Automatic music feature extraction, classification and annotation. Music is a huge industry currently undergoing a major revolution. The industry is shifting from music-making to music retrieval and its incorporation into a range of products from TV, and film, to music streaming into locations and events, as well as MP3 players and all kinds of electronic devices. This research will support immediate retrieval of music that meets the current industry need, based not just on titles, composers and/or performers, but on the actual properties of the music itself. The knowledge and music processing techniques developed will give Australian music industry an advantage over other countries.Read moreRead less
Electronically controlled phased array antenna for universal Ultra-High-Frequency (UHF) Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) applications. RFID may potentially replace barcodes allowing automated identification of individual items at multiple points in supply and distribution chains. A smart antenna engineered RFID reader improves efficacy in a host of applications such as logistics and security surveillance and tremendously benefits Australian economy as a key player in the field.
Energy efficient sensing, computing and communication. This research will study trade-offs in resource use: bandwidth, power, and computational capacity of systems of sensors such as cameras, radars, and distributed sensor networks based on a statistical mechanical theory of information processing, leading to practical algorithms to optimize resource use in the design of such systems.
