The process of identifying the object in an image, and the object background is accomplished by the human brain instantly. We develop such skills with experience, and often take it for granted. In digital imaging and computer vision, the same operation called image segmentation is a bottleneck of quantitative analysis. In particular, automated image segmentation […]

The CAE flight training services and flight simulators provide the future pilots with digital immersion experience and operational support solutions. Currently, additive manufacturing is found to be a valid way to fabricate the cockpit interior components with lower lead time and accelerate the product development. In order to understand the fatigue behaviors of printed component […]

Taiwan has been undergoing an important religious revival in the past forty-years. However, while religiosity used to be mainly locally based, the progressive modernization of the island led to new forms of country-wide temple lineages and displaced forms of worship. The aim of this project is to look at how this shift in religious location […]

Whey and milk ultrafiltration (UF) permeate are usually considered as environmental pollutants due to their elevated organic load. Increase of whey production owing to high demand of milk-derived products creates a huge disposal problem for dairy industries. The conversion of lactose, which is main component of whey and milk UF permeate, to value-added ingredients is […]

Computer vision systems are a key component for autonomous vehicles and driver assistance. To be robust, such systems must be able to handle challenging conditions such as night driving and rain. Previously Algolux proposed multimodal sensor fusion using RGB, gated and lidar for robust object detection and dense depth estimation under low light and adverse […]

This project aims to explore ideas from a machine learning technique called Fibered AutoEncoders (FAE) for molecular representation learning. This technique will allow us to perceive the molecular space through a topological lens using the concept of fiber bundles, and it will give us a disentangled multi-level encoding of molecules. Since the molecular space is […]

This project will give the intern the opportunity to explore the current state of the educational support network within Asian academia, which complements the intern’s knowledge and experience on the equivalent in Canada. By analyzing the new digital resources in terms of their purposes, impact and development processes, the intern will provide the organization with […]

We aim to provide companionship, distraction and engagement for seniors who would prefer social interaction to being alone. Fundamentally, the technology we intend to develop and, by the end of the grant, deploy on a trial basis in a long-term care facility, would present a conversational nurse or care provider avatar with whom the seniors […]

The project will focus on developing expansion strategies as Doggy Bathroom enters the European market and hosts pop up shops throughout North America. The project will focus on creating business development strategies to aid with the rollout of these projects. The main goal of the company is to continue growing the brand awareness throughout North […]

Bioponics is an innovative form of container gardening that uses patented processes to create ideal growing conditions for edible crops. The company, Bioponix Agricultural Corp., has developed a specialized Bioponix growing container, along with a liquid organic fertilizer and soil conditioner with a bioactive nutritive consortium. This partnership project will document the growth of strawberry, […]

Modern vehicles demand compact, lightweight, and high performing gyroscopes to accurately track their orientation and motion in real time. Traditional optical gyroscopes based on lasers and fiber optics offer exceptional performance, but are too large, heavy, and expensive for compact vehicles like unmanned drones. Compact, lightweight, and inexpensive micromechanical gyroscopes suitable for cell phones perform […]

Plant microbiology has important applications in the process of industrial Cannabis sativa manufacture and distribution through its direct impact on both plant health and product quality. The research in this field has enormous potential to contribute to the quality and safety of the products, through the modulation and stabilization of plant metabolites, increase of disease […]
