Enhanced Through-Wall Imaging using Bayesian Compressive Sensing. The aim of this project is to develop radar imaging techniques which enable us to 'see' objects behind walls and opaque materials. The major intended breakthrough is the ability to image objects behind walls and inside buildings or enclosed structures without accessing the scene. Novel signal and image processing algorithms, based on Bayesian compressive sensing, will be developed to enhance image quality and resolution, improve s ....Enhanced Through-Wall Imaging using Bayesian Compressive Sensing. The aim of this project is to develop radar imaging techniques which enable us to 'see' objects behind walls and opaque materials. The major intended breakthrough is the ability to image objects behind walls and inside buildings or enclosed structures without accessing the scene. Novel signal and image processing algorithms, based on Bayesian compressive sensing, will be developed to enhance image quality and resolution, improve speed of operation, and reduce the cost and time of data acquisition and processing. Many applications are expected to benefit from this research including search and rescue, surveillance, security, and defence. The research outcomes are expected to enhance the capabilities of the Australian armed forces, counter-terrorism, police and law-enforcement agencies.Read moreRead less
Synthetic Aperture Radio Holography for High Resolution Remote Sensing. This project aims to develop fundamental theory and enabling technology for a novel radio remote sensing system using a breakthrough synthetic aperture radio holography concept. Such a system would leapfrog current capabilities to produce high-resolution, day-and-night and weather-independent 3-D images for many applications (eg geoscience and climate change research, environmental and agricultural monitoring, defence and se ....Synthetic Aperture Radio Holography for High Resolution Remote Sensing. This project aims to develop fundamental theory and enabling technology for a novel radio remote sensing system using a breakthrough synthetic aperture radio holography concept. Such a system would leapfrog current capabilities to produce high-resolution, day-and-night and weather-independent 3-D images for many applications (eg geoscience and climate change research, environmental and agricultural monitoring, defence and security-related target detection, and planetary exploration). Expected project outcomes include advanced sensing and data processing knowledge and a prototype demonstrating the developed analogue and digital hardware.Read moreRead less
