La refraction de la lumiere fait en sorte que les images vues au travers d’un parebrise sont deformees. Si la forme du verre est connue, cette deformation peut etre modelisee. Puisque !es parebrises sont generalement piut6t plats, les effets de la refraction sont peu visibles a l’reil nu. Cependant, la presence de plus en plus […]

PemPem develops tools to ensure product traceability in informal supply chains using AI. These informal supply chains employ over 60% of the working population worldwide. They typically have highly inefficient operations due to very limited access to information and a reliance on opaque word-of-mouth coordination. While PemPem has started solving the problem of collecting data […]

A frequently occurring problem in face verification in Jumio is that stock face detectors find multiple faces in the input image. The decision which one should be selected for the face verification step is not clear. Common reasons being, users submitting a single image with both selfie and document id. There can be other people, […]

In this project we will look at tools to represent the content of an image and the relationships between its salient objects. The purpose of these tools is not only to enumerate the object represented in an image and identify their surroundings but also to describe how these entities are interacting with each other. We […]

La COVID-19 est causée par un nouveau virus, le SARS-CoV-2 et frappe durement la population mondiale. Cette maladie soulève de nombreuses questions, dont celle de savoir si l’immunité développée par les personnes ayant guéri de la maladie permet de neutraliser efficacement le virus et d’assurer une protection à long terme. Dans le cadre de ce […]

In the last few years, a high increase in the interest of traders and investors towards financial instruments directly lead to an important augmentation of the information received daily by exchanges. Exchanges regulators, who constantly monitor markets to unveil potential infractions, traditionally perform their investigation manually and the notable growth in market activity represents an […]

Humans recognise objects in the world leveraging multi-modal sensory inputs beyond visual aspects (images and videos). Touch based information (Haptics) possesses rich information about structure, shape and other objetness properties. In this work, we will study and learn cross-modal representations between vision and touch. To connect vision and touch, we plan to introduce a zero […]

Le projet DREAMLAND; Mobile a pour objectif d’améliorer considérablement la qualité des soins hospitaliers promulgués aux grands brûlés lors des séances d’hydrothérapie et transformer une expérience hospitalière à priori négative, voir traumatisante, en une expérience ludique et positive, tant pour l’enfant que pour la famille qui l’accompagne. Dans le cadre des MITACS, les stagiaires travaillerons […]

Our research consists of developing novel techniques to further improve the rendering time and quality of volumetric light transport, in special the effect of multiple scattering on path tracing. Our proposal is to explore the human perceptual system to speed up the computation using a visual perception metric. To determine which parameters are feasible of […]

Le trouble orofacial myofontionel (TOM) réfère à l’ensemble des comportements oromusculaires inadaptés. Il s’agit d’un trouble moteur impliquant la musculature de la bouche et du visage, ce qui interfère avec une maturation normale des structures orofaciale. En orthophonie, les enfants référés pour un TOM présentent généralement une déglutition atypique et un problème d’articulation de la […]

The ability of the health system to manage a massive influx of patients is based on the combination of four factors: the personnel, the equipment, the physical spaces and the system in place. A combination better known in jargon as the 4 “S” (staff, stuff, structure / space, system). A fifth factor that is often […]

In a recent study conducted in the province of Quebec it was determined that 34% of antimicrobials used on dairies are antimicrobials of very high importance for humans (AKA Category 1 antimicrobials; Lardé et al., personal communication). However, since February 2019, a new regulation restricts their use in food producing animals in Quebec’s province, Thus, […]
