This project aims to operationalize innovative methods for developing cost effective wetland inventories across Alberta by use of numerous sources of remote sensing data, namely light detection and ranging (LiDAR), synthetic aperture Radar (SAR), and optical imagery. The project will formalize a mapping specification, develop training and validation datasets (available in-kind from the academic supervisor […]

The lack of robust sound awareness in robotics and autonomous machines is a crucial limiting factor in their usefulness and adoption. Taking a biologically inspired approach offers novel computational mechanisms to solve a variety of challenges in this field. The primary objective of this proposal is to finalize and evaluate a Bayesian auditory artificial intelligence […]

Upcoming legalization of marijuana provides many opportunities for all Canadians. Licensed Producers (LPs) are the main providers of medicinal cannabis to patients and will be the main suppliers for recreational market. The significant disadvantage in the current environment is the limited number of strains available to LPs. Sundial Growers have acquired a collection of Cannabis […]
