InSAR is a technique used by radar-based remote sensing for applications such as tracking spatial displacement/deformation of an object on earth, e.g., building and a bridge, over time. The object analysis part of InSAR processing belongs to an offline processing chain that operates on very high resolution images consisting of huge volume of data. The […]

Cities are the engines of creativity, wealth creation and economic growth in our society. Despite the increasing importance of cities in modern world, our ability to understand them scientifically and to manage them well in practice is limited. The greatest difficulties and challenges to any scientific approach to cities have resulted from their many interdependent […]

In the road construction process, a civil engineer commonly uses software to outline the horizontal and vertical road alignment on a topographical map. The software then calculates the amount of earth that needs to be excavated, or filled, at certain points of the alignment as well as pavement costs, land costs and other expenses. Our […]

Path programming for various robot applications in the industry involves precise specification of data for coordinated control of the different moving parts, arms, limbs, joints, etc. in order to optimally perform application specific tasks. Robotmaster™ software from Jabez Technologies is used to plan and simulate robotic operations and generate robot code for industrial applications. Robotmaster […]

Urban mobility results from human movements from one region to another for interaction such as working, trading goods and other social events. Urban mobility has caused not only urban prosperity, but also some problems in the urban system, such as congestion, air pollution, energy consumption, public health and disease transmission. Therefore, understanding urban mobility is […]

Individuals (donors) wishing to donate funds to non-profit and/or charitable organizations want to know how the organizations operate and how effectively their donations are used. Dexterity has developed an online service called Place2Give which aims to answer those questions. The research project aims to employ social network analysis and data mining to enhance the data […]

The proposed project will transform a trading card game into a locative mobile gaming platform with the goal of creating an interactive narrative experience. The game itself will be creating an on-going history of gameplay and publishing it on the Internet. In essence, players of the game are dynamically being written into the mythology of […]

We aim to use Saskatchewan’s data and current protocols to explore and identify the risk factors for the challenge of investigating cases of missing children. We will be using a variety of analytical methods in order to come up with a set of valuable recommendations for improving the process of investigating the cases of missing […]

The goal of this research project is to answer the following two highly-coupled questions concerning essentially all online merchants: (1) which items in my current inventory are highly relevant and should be sold or recommended together? and (2) what new merchandise should be put into my current online store? The key to answering the above […]

Information visualization is gaining importance for analyzing large and complex datasets. There is evidence that user’s performance and satisfaction in working with visualizations can be influenced by cognitive or personality traits. Thus, researches have started investigating how information visualization tools could be made more effective and usable by enabling them to adapt in real-time to […]

Automated human body pose estimation and activity recognition in videos is still one of the challenging problems in computer vision. Generally, it is becomes a significantly difficult task in real world applications due to camera motion, cluttered background, occlusion, and scale/viewpoint/perspective variations. Moreover, the same action performed by two persons can appear to be very […]

Creating computer generated animations and visual effects (VFX) of fluids is a challenging task. The goal of this project is to design novel approaches that ease the creation of fluid simulations for VFX. Four main challenges will be tackled: the simulation of viscous fluids, the gain in geometric details of free surface fluids, the texturing […]
