Au Québec, il arrive que les parcs à résidus miniers produiisent du drainage minier acide (de l’eau acide qui s’écoule dans l’environnement). Ce problème se doit d’être corrigé. Recouvrir les matériaux qui produisent ce drainage pourrait être une solution efficace. Le recouvrement, appelé couverture à effets de barriers capillaires (CEBC) se fait avec différents matériaux […]

As online educational platforms and blogs such as Coursera, Edublog, Korbit Technologies Inc. etc. are becoming increasingly popular, a great way for students to learn is to solve QA problems on educational texts. Students also learn by getting answers to their questions. Since manual QA generation of huge content of educational texts seems impracticable, an […]

Considering the fact that software is deployed on open devices (such as PCs, tablets, smartphone, etc.), White-Box Cryptography (WBC) that protects security software is becoming an essential technology. In the software security industry, there is an ongoing research on new methods to perform WBC and, more specifically, to design data transformation algorithms that are robust […]

To improve traveller services in train stations, SNCF and Keolis Canada seek to develop a mobile application for real-time geo-localisation based on still images captured by the user on its smartphone. This would allow guidance through the station and provide key information. This project will develop a Deep Learning (DL) model for accurate and real-time […]

Bringing cloud computing from the Internet domain to Next Generation Networks (NGN) in order to provide Telco cloud services will leverage the use of NGN, reduce costs and create many value-added services. It is therefore becoming critical for world-class carriers, like Bell and Telus, to adopt a cloudbased communications model. However, unlike public Internet clouds, […]

La segmentation du foie est une demarche consistant a delimiter les contours de I’organe des les images medicales volumiques, telles que Ie CT-Scan et I’IRM, afin d’estimer son volume a des fins de planification preoperatoire. Cette operation, typiquement realisee manuellement par un technicien ou un radiologue, est une demarche fastidieuse qui requiert entre 45 et […]

Ce projet vise à optimiser les déplacements d’une flotte de drones qui sont utilisés pour détecter et reconnaître des personnes ou des bateaux sur une étendue d’eau permettant de minimiser les pertes humaines en intervenant le plus rapidement possible lors d’une situation d’urgence. La flotte de drones est reliée à une base et à une […]

Un système de traction à chenille pour la machinerie agricole est un mécanisme complexe composé de plusieurs joints, glissières et de matériaux déformables avec un comportement complexe (caoutchouc). Pour cette raison, Camso, fabricant de système de chenilles, utilise beaucoup les essais en laboratoire et sur terrain pour valider la fiabilité et la durabilité des pièces […]

Financial data are known to be generated from complex distributions, often assumed to be changing over time. The aim of this project is to build a simulator of multivariate time series, parameterized as simply as possible by a user, with the freedom to build different models, to assess their general behavior and key properties. This […]

This project will seek to use novel radar technology in addition to computer vision to remotely detect vital signs (Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate, Movement and Temperature) of multiple patients. This will help lead to decreased morbidity of patients in areas such as waiting rooms, hospital or police seclusion rooms and other unique environments such as […]

Iron is required for the growth of all animal cells, being necessary for the proper function of diverse enzyme systems and the expression of certain genes, as well as for the production of oxygen radicals that function as signal transduction intermediates and help defend against microorganisms. Interestingly, preliminary findings indicate that both mouse and human […]

The proposed project involves the development of a fully automated system for municipal waste collection. We will develop a ruggedized vision-based control system and a truckmounted robot to pick up municipal waste containers and deposit their contents into the back of a standard waste collection vehicle. The solution is envisioned as an add-on for existing […]
