An Advanced Machine Vision-Based System for the Recognition and Counting of Indian Coins

Counting coins, with speed and accuracy, has been a challenging issue for banks and stores. People used to count coins manually before the arrival of coin counting machines. The process of counting coins manually is a very time consuming and tedious job. Moreover, mistakes are
likely to occur due to various reasons such as fatigue, eye tiredness and too many coins of nearly same shape and size cause confusion in sorting and counting. Coin sorters are common in North America and can be found in most commercial banks and even some grocery stores.
By contrast, they are not available in India, where the number and similarity of the coins make for a very challenging problem. The objective of this project is to determine whether advanced machine vision techniques are able to sort coins from India with acceptable speed and accuracy.
If the answer is yes, then the outcome will be used to develop a machine that can recognize and count Indian coins, with Indian banks as the initial market.

Microbial genomics for de-risking offshore oil and gas exploration in Nova Scotia

The proposed project fits within a broad initiative in offshore oil and gas exploration geoscience mapping led by the Nova Scotia Department of Energy (NSDoE), the project’s End User. The province has partnered with Dr. Casey Hubert (University of Calgary) to develop, validate, and deploy three new genomics-based bioassay tools for offshore prospecting on the Scotian Slope. Genomics results will be integrated into mapping petroleum potential with the overall aim to attract and maintain large-scale investments by the O&G industry, in Nova Scotia. Results will be integrated with other geoscience data in a broader work program at NSDoE. Atlas maps resulting from this work will be shared with prospective bidders to promote offshore leases and attendant spending commitments in the Province. By integrating genomics with extensive geoscience mapping approaches (seismic data, geophysical methods, geochemical tools, satellite oil slick data, etc) the new bioassays will be validated within a comprehensive effort comprising the NSDoE’s petroleum source rock program. The intern will enhance the capability of the Offshore Energy Research Association (OERA) to provide project management and scientific consulting for the project.

Optimizing Forest Resource Management and Small Scale Wood Manufacturing – A case study with Chief Isaac Inc. business arm of the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in First Nations, Yukon Territory

Traditionally, the forest management practice in the Dawson City area (YT) has been clear-cut management, in which all trees of a given area are harvested. As the local First Nation (the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Nation) seek to become more involved in the management of the local resources, the opportunity has arisen to transition to an alternative approach known as continuous cover forestry. This system is more conducive to their non-economic values, including wildlife, biodiversity and overall sustainability. In order for a successful transition to alternative approaches, an in-depth study of the forest attributes such as species composition and growth rate is required, in order to simulate potential management schemes. Additionally, in the absence of large influxes of timber from clear cutting, the existing mill in Dawson City is in need of optimization in order to continue operating. With an alternative approach to the current system, coupled with an optimized sawmill, this project will involve the community members on many levels, including employment opportunities, and the fulfillment of cultural needs.

Embedding a Climate Change videogame in High Schools: Towards a Teacher’s Guide for Engaging Students with a Place-based Videogame – Future Delta 2.0

At the moment, BC has no comprehensive climate change curriculum in high schools, and educators lack coordinated materials to support its teaching. In an effort to narrow this gap, the Collaborative for Advanced Landscape Planning (CALP) at the Faculty of Forestry, UBC partnered with the Delta School District, to develop an educational and compelling videogame – Future Delta 2.0 (FD2), which brings together methods from commercial gaming a participatory research to address climate change science in an innovative place-based game environment. The game has been co-designed and evaluated with students & teachers from the Delta School District, as a proof-of-concept learning tool to explore how virtual future scenarios in the students’ own neighbourhoods may motivate interest, awareness, learning and in some cases behaviour change and civic engagement. CALP now proposes to turn the FD2 videogame, currently an experimental research product, into a comprehensive, stand-alone teaching and educational resource on climate change – Future Delta Teacher’s Guide. The Guide will provide a handbook on climate change education, for wider use in the Delta School District, using a community place-based videogame as an interdisciplinary resource to make climate change teaching/learning engaging and fun.

Novel Approaches for Practical Machine Learning

Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence that aims at producing computing models from observations (data), with no explicit coding made by humans. Recent advances have illustrated a strong potential of machine learning, with the potential of being a disruptive technology in many domains. For the current project, we are investigating techniques for making practical machine learning. Four main axes are considered: 1) to deal with big unstructured datasets, 2) to learn with a diverse set of representations of the data, 3) to learn from streams of data sensed or produced in real-time, and 4) to develop methods allowing fully automated machine learning with little or no insights from human experts. The internships will allow exploring key technologies that would support the development of applications such as smart cameras, wearable personal devices, and black-box machine learning software. It aims at exploring promising concepts with high commercialization potential.

A Comparative Analysis in Individual Education: How Do Cultures’ Differ in the Implementation of an Individualized Education, and How Do These Differences Influence the Classroom?

Due to the increase in class sizes, many Canadian teachers and parents have been concerned about the loss of individualized lessons to the average Canadian student. Chinese schools however, have been dealing with large volumes of students for a longer period of time. In investigating the methodologies of the average Chinese teacher within their classroom, I intend to observe the ways in which a larger class can be dealt with – whether individualized lessons are still achievable, or whether there is another option that Chinese teachers have discovered in teaching larger classrooms of children. I also hope to explore if individualization has taken a back seat to large classrooms. Overall I hope to gain experience and knowledge about teaching with increasing class sizes, and yet still educating individual learners, and bring this knowledge back to Canada, to apply to my professional career as a Junior Intermediate Teacher.

Physical Education as Related to thePromotion of an Active Lifestyle in SchoolAged Youth: A Comparative Analysis

The purpose of this research is to discover new ways to fight the generally unhealthy, and inactive lifestyles that is becoming more widespread among today’s young people. This research will seek to observe the physical education practices of another culture, specifically the practices of a high school level physical education program in Chongqing, China, and determine if those principles would be beneficial to incorporate into a Canadian physical education program. The importance of the information will apply to all grade levels since it is important to promote healthy living to all ages. The information that will be obtained will apply most specifically to physical education teachers, but it will also provide other teachers with the knowledge of the importance of physical activity in today’s society. It will also contribute to the overall Reciprocal Learning Program goals by providing more insight about the impact of various cultures upon one another.

Elements of hidden curriculum in Chinese classrooms

In this proposed study I will observe the informal life lessons taught by teachers and student behaviors in Chinese and Canadian classrooms. I expect to find evidence that supports the idea that these lessons have an equal or greater impact on the student’s overall academic and social development. These less obvious lessons will revolve around sociological factors such as class, gender, religion and authority. The overall goal is to raise awareness to future teachers and to provide more knowledge to this area of study. Current data collected from Canadian classrooms will be compared to the findings in China.

Monitoring and visualization of power system stability using Synchronous Phasor Measurements

In recent years, Wide Area Measurement System (WAMS) based on Phasor Measurement Units has been built, which provide favorable opportunity to online monitoring of system quantities. Nevertheless, the information, which contains useful data and captured by WAMS, require outstanding techniques to extract and estimate the parameters of interests. The main objective of this research work is to develop signal processing techniques for monitoring the small signal stability margins of the power system using WAMS. The research examines the application of recently developed signal processing techniques for non-stationary data analysis and prediction of small signal stability of the power system. This includes development of classic Hilbert-Huang Transform algorithm and Prony algorithm to extract close mode frequencies of rotor angle oscillations. Then it is used to estimate the damping modes inherent in the system and to predict the system instability. The newly developed algorithms will be implemented on hardware at ERL technologies.

Differences in Chinese and Canadian Music Education

This research will look at the main differences between Chinese and Canadian music education through observing Chinese music classes. Seeing how Chinese music classes are taught will allow me to pinpoint the main differences in music is education within these two countries. I want to see the main differences of musical instruments that are taught in class, what type of music is taught in a middle school class (Western masterworks like Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven?), if this music is more difficult to that taught in the Canadian school system, how the classes are instructed compared to Canadian music classes, and if the students are playing at a Canadian middle school band level. I will note music curriculum (what are the instrumental expectations of students at this level), the type of music taught in class and its level of difficulty, how the music is taught, and what resources are used.
