La première partie de ce projet est d’évaluer la télédétection par laser ou LIDAR (« light detection and ranging ») en tant qu’outil pour cartographier les routes. La deuxième partie consiste à transposer les données acquises lors de la cartographie dans une interface graphique, telle que Google Earth, par exemple. À l’heure actuelle, les informations […]

In order to understand the movement of water in all its three phases on, under, and above the ground, scientists known as hydrologists use computer models. These models simulate the volume of water that runs through river in response to the amount of rainfall that has reached the ground during a specific time period. Hydrologists […]

This research project is aimed at developing a multi-sensor system based on an unmanned aerial vehicle for characterizing soil micro-topography in agricultural fields. The system will be benefit from both passive imaging and active ranging technologies, respectively, based on an optical digital camera and a LiDAR sensor. Accurate and complete elevation measurements are essential for […]

Advanced Chemical Technologies has developed a unique combination of existing processes to create a new method of making methanol. This proposed method actually consumes the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, or CO2, meaning it could help reduce the environmental impact of Ontario’s manufacturing. This internship would involve the simulation of this proposed process using advanced chemical […]

Modern roundabouts have become a subject of great interest and attention over the last few years. Compared to regular signalized intersections, roundabouts have the potential to reduce vehicular delay & emissions and increase safety. The objectives of this study is to conduct an in depth analysis to examine the short and long term benefits of […]

The aim of this project is to research and develop a new DICOM modality for the optical coherence tomography images obtained by Perimeter’s Optical Tissue Imaging (OTISTM) device. Following the creation of a suitable modality, a novel solution for transfer to and integration with the PACS servers utilized by current Perimeter customers will also be […]

Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) 3.1 is a technology that utilizes orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technology to provide downstream (DS) transmission capacities of up to 10 gigabits per seconds (Gbps), as well as orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) technology to provide upstream (US) transmission capacities of up to 1 Gbps per channel. Full duplex (FDX) […]

Perimeter Medical Imaging (PMI) has developed an investigational imaging device to aid in achieving clear margins during surgical oncology procedures. This project will employ PMI’s device to image multiple types of human tissues, which have been previously removed during elective or medical procedures. This study will correlate the images obtained using PMI’s device with the […]

Wave uprush and the potential for flooding are natural hazards that must be determined by the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) prior to the approval of a near-shore development. The purpose of calculating wave uprush is to recommend building sites that are outside of the wave uprush area (and floodplain in general) to land owners […]

Chaque année, des millions de dollars sont dépensés pour le transport des biens de base à travers le pays. De plus, la facture ne cesse de grimper étant donné que le prix de l’essence en fait de même. D’autre part, l’industrie du transport est responsable d’une grande partie des émissions de gaz à effet de […]

The project examines the use of recycled plastics sourced from waste landfills for construction and infrastructure applications such as fence panels, an idea developed by EcoFence. Through the course of this project a comprehensive study is conducted to evaluate the mechanical and physical characteristics, such as strength and sound absorption. The measured data is compared […]

The Energy Planning department at BC Hydro looks at how the company can meet B.C.’s future electricity demand through conservation, generation and transmission, and through upgrades to existing infrastructure. As new resources require lead times to develop, BC Hydro must plan ahead so that the new resources are ready when we need them. The Energy […]
