Utilizing geomatics sensors such as laser scanners, GNSS, Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), and photogrammetry cameras to provide mobile mapping solutions has been studied and utilized extensively in the past three decades. The data fusion between high-end mobile mapping systems such as laser scanning and imagery-based systems, and low-cost camera systems are still a fertile field […]

Increasingly, cyber threats evolve targeting companies, industries and governments. As defense systems are strengthening, threat actors developed new tactics, strategies and techniques to break down security perimeters. Generally, the security of the perimeters are enforced by multiples intrusion prevention and detection tools responsible to provide proactive insights, real-time insights and operational insights for the detection, […]

The Research Group at CANNEX (formerly known as the QWeMA Group) develops solutions for the financial and insurance industry of North America. Our analytics play an important role in determining the value proposition of investment products. Our solutions help the financial community and public through their financial advisors to be able to make informed decisions. […]

This project aims at evaluating whether recent results in deep learning models, trained to exploit weak labels (Hwang, 2016) can serve to extract meaningful lesion localizations from image-level labels, either from individual scans or given a (longitudinal) sequence thereof. To this end, we will scale up existing models that have been shown to work on […]

Durant les années où les prix des métaux ont permis une hausse des revenus pour les minières, ces dernières ont constaté que cette hausse ne s’est pas traduite par des profits substantiels pour les investisseurs. Ce constat a amené les minières à réfléchir à leur mode opérationnel et à développer un processus d’amélioration continue inspiré […]

Relatively few interactive narrative-based systems support storytelling as an activity that takes place between children and their parents or guardians. This project is the initial foundation HCI research to explore and prototype tools and methodologies as a contribution to the development of an innovative collaborative online storytelling application – The Kids Book Company. This is […]

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) defines IPD as: “…a collaborative alliance of people, systems, business structures and practices into a process that harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction.” Integrated Project […]

Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) are in high demand in short-reach optical interconnects. Reflex Photonics is a leading company in developing VCSEL-based optical transceivers for the harsh environments. So far, the speeds up to 12.5 Gb/s for a reach of 100 m have been achieved. One of the key bottleneck in developing rugged transceivers […]

Making robots walk and balance as well as humans is extremely difficult. New techniques involving machine learning have shown promise in getting robots to mimic the movements of humans recorded using motion capture technology widely used for videogames and movies. While these techniques show promise, they are still in development, and have difficulty switching between […]

Stirred mill grinding is a complex and energy-intensive process that involves multiple phases. Multi-scale phenomena that drive hydrodynamic and particle breakage processes in the stirred mill are still not fully understood, due to a number of operating and design parameters that affect mill performance, including disk and barrel geometry, agitation rate, grinding media size and […]

The molecular mechanisms responsible for the occurrence of metastatic cancer are beginning to be elucidated with the identification of key regulators. Increasing evidence points to tumor cell epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) as an important contributing process to metastatic evolution. The identification of factors that are stimulated during EMT might provide the means to develop […]

Ubisoft has an extensive database of 3D scanned heads. It would be convenient to use it to mix-and-match parts of characters to create new human-like character heads. Let’s say we want to adjust medium-scale features of the face, such as replacing the nose of one character with another nose. We will design an editing workflow […]
