Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) augmentation techniques such as differential GNSS and real-time kinetic (RTK) positioning have been critical for GNSS accuracy and usability. In a typical scenario, the correction data is streamed to a device in the field (rover station) from a reference (base) station. However, as the number of devices that rely on […]

D-Wave Systems develops and manufactures quantum annealing processors. These processors implement a model of quantum computation that seeks to solve hard problems by exploiting quantum effects such as tunneling and superposition. The aim of this project is to study and improve the performance of quantum annealing processors by mitigating inherent and implementation-dependent failure mechanisms for […]

L’extraction et le partage de données sont au cœur de nombreux défis liés aux systèmes d’information, en particulier dans le domaine médical. C’est pourquoi nous avons développé une méthode de mise en correspondance entre de multiples sources de données médicales et un modèle de connaissance (ontologie). Cette méthode permet, suite à l’intégration d’une source, l’extraction […]

Atwood Technology Inc. is in the early stages of developing an exciting new online dating and relationship service under the proposed brand of “eMatchology”. This service will have three major information technology features that will be key in differentiating it from other players in the market. These features are: i) DateGuard ii) AcuMatch and iii) […]

EcoPliance is a Cleantech startup company based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, that aims to produce reusable and technology-enhanced food and beverage containers that reward consumers for using environmentally friendly products. Each container is collapsible for easy carrying and has a near field communication (NFC) tag with a unique identifier. This will allow users to scan […]

This project aims to use drones and machine learning to measure the net volume of wood residue left in piles after harvesting. The dry content of these piles, known as BIOMASS, can be utilized and reduce the use of non-renewable energies and materials. Since this residue is usually burned, the utilization can also decrease the […]

UVIC and UBC, in collaboration with industry will be developing the Earth Data Store, to provide unparalleled access to standardized temporal and spatial earth observation data and develop industry-specific applications that will allow end-users to see how a region evolves over time using visual interactive maps and running deep learning algorithms. The Earth Data Store […]

This project is to develop fall prevention system for long term care facility. The system will consist of many room sensory units, centralized alarm, monitoring, and responding server application, and many mobile monitoring and responding units. The room sensory units will be placed or installed in rooms where the residences are needed to be monitored […]

G networks have emerged as a promising solution for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to offer ultra-fast mobile broadband and ultra-low latency services with exceptional reliability for consumers. By leveraging softwarization, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), MNOs can offset the high capital and operational expenditures incurred due the additional deployment of legacy equipment. […]

En recherche académique, les besoins d’analyse des chercheurs dépassent souvent les capacités de leurs ordinateurs à effectuer ces analyses. Calcul Canada est un organisme qui s’assure que les chercheurs canadiens puissent avoir un accès gratuit à des serveurs de calcul performants à la grandeur du pays. Nous tenons non seulement à un accès équitable aux […]

L’opération d’emballage dans des sacs flexibles de produits en vrac est utilisée au quotidien par l’industrie agroalimentaire. Cependant, un défaut de fermeture d’un des sacs présents sur une palette entraine la perte de toute la palette pour garantir les normes d’hygiènes. Le but du projet est de proposer une solution qui permet de détecter les […]
