Signal Concentration, Robust Signal Processing and Information Theory on the Unit Sphere

The proposal seeks to develop a systematic framework for enhanced processing of a special class of signals which arise in a diverse range of application contexts ranging from: mobile communication, geodesy, astronomy/cosmic microwave background radiation modelling, antenna array processing for defence and surveillance, and modelling of human hearing. This will result in more accurate and robust measurement of signals, improved detection, higher reliability and more cost effective implementation in applications. The proposal contributes to the development of the research area through building a long-term research capability through the research training of PhD students and early career researchers.
