Mathematical Foundations of Distributed Radar. Conventional military threats to Australia are large or fast moving objects such as ships and aircraft and conventional radar systems are designed to handle such threats. Recent global political shifts have changed the threats to include objects that are small and slowly moving, such as people, small vehicles and boats. Advances in radar hardware make feasible small, low-powered, devices with inherently reduced performance in comparison to deployed ....Mathematical Foundations of Distributed Radar. Conventional military threats to Australia are large or fast moving objects such as ships and aircraft and conventional radar systems are designed to handle such threats. Recent global political shifts have changed the threats to include objects that are small and slowly moving, such as people, small vehicles and boats. Advances in radar hardware make feasible small, low-powered, devices with inherently reduced performance in comparison to deployed systems. Methods for information integration over a dispersed system of such small devices, design of suitable waveform suites and clever local signal processing algorithms will be developed to achieve the performance improvements the hardware offers, to handle the new threats.Read moreRead less
Automatic Human Age Estimation Based on Visual Information. Age verification is important for many security applications including passport control for border security, and protecting children from adult websites, venues, or products. Accurate, reliable and practical age estimation or verification technologies would be of enormous benefit for 'Safeguarding Australia'. The ability of a machine to estimate a person's age and provide an age-appropriate interface also has benefits for the young and ....Automatic Human Age Estimation Based on Visual Information. Age verification is important for many security applications including passport control for border security, and protecting children from adult websites, venues, or products. Accurate, reliable and practical age estimation or verification technologies would be of enormous benefit for 'Safeguarding Australia'. The ability of a machine to estimate a person's age and provide an age-appropriate interface also has benefits for the young and old in our society. The outcome of this project, practical technologies for automatic human age estimation based on visual information, will dramatically change the current (non-technology based) methods of age verification and create new opportunities for customised human-machine interfaces.
