Tracking humans in video can have a variety of applications including monitoring shoppers in stores, identifying suspicious activities in public spaces, and ensuring the security of senior home residents. Recent advances in video processing and hardware capability on computers have made it possible to track a single human in a video sequence in real time. […]

In this project, we aim to design and develop an Intelligent mixed-reality Simulation & training ecosystem for Extreme Environments (I.SEE), which will be an innovative mixed-reality simulation ecosystem of hyper-realistic and fully immersive experience for enhanced crisis response, management, training, and data analysis. The ecosystem will be built based on a three-layer architecture: (i) On […]

Technologies EllenSee Inc. se veut devenir un acteur majeur dans le domaine de Ia securite des aines. Pour ce faire, un bracelet permettant de detecter les chutes. de reconnaitre des activites physiques journalieres et de surveiller les donnees medicales du porteur doit etre COn9U. Un tel outil permettra de reduire le temps de reaction du […]

The multiple audio sequences matching problem can be regarded as a pattern identification problem with inputs of multiple highly fragmented audio sequences. Singular Software develops a product which employs a model-based alignment algorithm to match audio sequences on a common time line to solve this problem. This product relies on computationally intensive mathematical operations such […]

Metafor is developing a new class of IT system management solutions and as a part of this, Metafor wants a method to show differences between multiple deployed instances of an application. Metafor would also like to have the ability to group many application in different clusters based on their structural similarities. We would like to […]

Due to the voluntary nature of the open source software, it can be hard to find a developer to work on a particular task. For example, some issue reports may be too cumbersome and unexciting for someone to volunteer to do them, yet these issue reports may be of high priority to the success of […]

The use of unconventional heavy oil, such as the bitumen derived from oil sands, has progressively increased, placing these materials as a compelling alternative to meet short- and long-term energy demands. Nevertheless, the current technologies available to exploit and upgrade this crude have critical challenges, such as high production costs, lower energy efficiency, and, even […]

This project aims to combine two different sources on merchant ship movement, AIS and satellite images. AIS data is emitted by every merchant ship above a certain size, which allows the ship to be tracked from the coastline. The goal of this project is to use both these sources of data to train an automated […]

The proposed research aims to develop methods for efficiently computing visually realistic turbulent flows around solid objects for graphical applications in the film and video game industries. These methods would extend traditional techniques employed in aerodynamics to compute flows around airfoils. The extended method would address general solid objects in cases where the traditional techniques […]

Recent progress on deep architectures has enabled efficient representation and learning of complex high dimensional probability distributions over rich sensory data. In particular, deep mixture models and deep generative models have emerged as the most powerful techniques for this task. The proposed research aims at addressing some of the fundamental questions in this field: What […]

The thyroid glands are located at the front of the neck. The thyroid glands tend to develop small lumps, and it is very common in adults. Most of the lumps are not harmful to humans. However, some of these lumps could be cancerous. Therefore, it is essential to detect the lumps that are cancerous correctly. […]

Highly accurate spatial measurement systems are among the enabling technologies that make image-guided surgery possible in modern operating theatres. We consider the problem of positional accuracy assessment for robotic surgical tool while using a multiple camera optical tracking system (OTS). Since the position of the surgical tool with respect to the bone is guided by […]
