2.2 billion people live with vision impairment: Over 1 billion are preventable or treatable. Even though the majority of cases are in Developing Countries, 75% of vision loss in Canada is preventable and 1 out of 5 Canadians are at risk of vision loss. Our emerging crisis of preventable blindness costs the Canadian government almost […]

We do not have an effective Canadian Curriculum-Based Measurement Tool. Moreover, existing tools do not incorporate Artificial Intelligence. We aim to develop a tool that will enable the targeted and brief assessment of gaps in student literacy skills with the aim of allowing strategic instruction to be planned and delivered based on those gaps. Identifying […]

Underwater video cameras are a convenient method to monitor aquatic life such as fish. However, these cameras can collect a lot of footage, which can be challenging for humans to process. This project will use computer vision to automatically sort through video taken within and near to seaweed farms to specify the clips that have […]

Despite the advances in medical science over the years, a great number of the world population still lacks access to basic healthcare. The health disparity between people in low resource settings and developed countries cannot be overemphasized. The disparity in health between developing and developed countries is evident in their life expectancy. However, the current […]

In an effort to build public trust, the Government of Canada has made a commitment to move toward an Open Government, where government data will be easily accessible and shared broadly. For the public to benefit from Open Government sources, they will need tools that will allow them to analyze and interpret the data accurately. […]

Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) is a promising technology to provide true randomness as a service for many computing uses, such as cryptography. The company Quantum eMotion develops an affordable product called QNG2 which offers quantum random number generation in a compact device (i.e., PCIe card) which can easily be used in any standard PC […]

Dandelion technology solves the speed and scalability problems of current blockchain using a new physical paradigm to build the most efficient, open distributed network, with a finalization cost of $.00001 per event. The proposed project is aimed at adding smart contract and sharing functionality to the Dandelion network, improving cryptographic efficiency with aggregable signatures under […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à concevoir un modèle de prévention du COVID-19 basé sur les techniques d’Intelligence Artificielle (IA) et de l’internet des objets (IoT). Les données physiologiques seront obtenues des dispositifs intelligents et des bases de données virtuelles. Ces systèmes serviront pour le développement d’un outil de mesure et d’observance des indicateurs chez […]

Le résumé des opinions des clients est une tâche essentielle pour un entreprise dans une ère où le consommateur se fait un avis au travers des recommandations de ses pairs. L’objectif du projet est alors de fournir une représentation générale, informative, et contenant des avis objectifs et constructifs de ces opinions. Pour cela nous proposons […]

Access to private or leased land is currently not a simple problem. Landowners would like to know who is on their land, when, and for what purpose. Getting permissions from landowners to use their land is often not straight forward; often leading to bypassing obtaining permission. Some landowners do not want hunters, but do not […]

Cloud computing offers virtually unlimited resources in CPU, memory, and bandwidth, under a service agreement scheme. Operators leverage on this model to achieve economies of scale, by hosting as much customers as possible on such infrastructure. The detected gap is that the Communication Service Providers (CSP) must take into consideration trust as a parameter into […]

With the rapid growth of sensors in Cyber-Physical Systems such as clinical data, industrial systems and data centres, there is an increasing need to monitor these devices to secure them against anomalies. This is particularly the case for streaming clinical data. Indeed, the timeliness revelation of anomalies in these data can save the patient’s life. […]
