Modern Physics Inspired Approaches to Tracking

Core capabilities

This project uses mathematical techniques from advanced modern physics to:

  • Accurately describe the probability density function of a target position and velocity with a small finite number of basic functions
  • Transmit non-Gaussian probability density functions over  small bandwidth data links for fusion and tracking
  • Evolve state probability density functions using wave function techniques

Key collaborations

Funded by DST Group support an established international co-development program 

  • Funds 0.05 Professor, 0.1 Senior Researcher, 0.5 Researcher for 3 years
  • Good results with start-up funding, but hoping to expand
