Développement d’un algorithme de reconnaissance d’images de papillons tropicaux

Le nombre d’espèces qui nous entourent est si important qu’il peut être ardu, même pour les spécialistes, de toutes les identifier. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour les insectes. De plus, avec l’avènement des technologies mobiles de l’information, la quantité et la qualité des images disponibles n’a jamais été aussi importante. Grâce aux appareils photos numérique […]

Employment Transitions of Refugees: Refugees, Employer, and Sponsorship Group Perspectives in Pictou County

Since 1979, Canadians have used the Private Sponsorship of Refugee (PSR) program to sponsor and resettle refugees in their communities. One of the roles community-based refugee resettlement volunteers play is helping newcomers find work or set up a small business. Research indicates that community-sponsored refugees make a faster and more resilient economic transition, but we […]

Economic and technical feasibility assessment of decarbonizing British Columbia’s building, transport and industrial sectors with electrification and power-to-gas transitions

This project investigates substitution of fossil fuels with electricity from renewable sources for the purpose of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in British Columbia. Burning natural gas, gasoline, diesel and other petroleum products heats our buildings, drives out cars, and powers our industries. Electricity generated from hydro, wind, and solar power can provide those same services, […]

Optimizing a Gauze Dressing that Effectively Delivers Tranexamic Acid, Thrombin and Calcium for Severe Hemorrhage

Bleeding is a major cause of death for both civilians and military personnel. Between 2001-2011, 976 deaths on the battlefield were deemed potentially survivable, with 90.9% associated with hemorrhage. Typical strategies for stopping bleeding, such as compressing the wound, are less feasible in these situations. The proposed work aims to develop a new wound dressing […]

The Affect of Fun on the Adoption of Micromobility

This research project aims to understand what factors are driving the increased usage of shared micromobility vehicles – primarily escooters – in city centres. In particular, this research seeks to understand the notion of fun as it influences how people chose to get around within a city. The findings of this inquiry will help cities […]

Integration of Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) to improve workflow of reconstruction projects and space utilization

The focus of this project will be how modern technologies, specifically static and mobile laser scanners, drone photogrammetry, and Virtual Reality (VR) can be applied to solve issues related to renovating and utilizing (repurposing) old buildings. This is a multi-disciplinary approach with college interns from Geomatics Engineering and Architecture Engineering programs.

Multi-Camera Calibration and Stitching Under Automated Scenarios

Many vehicles use multiple cameras to provide an unobstructed view to the operator and provide information about the environment around them. As these cameras are placed sparsely around the vehicle, the video sequences are not easily mapped to a regular surface; therefore, distortion from the irregular mapping process provides an insufficient reproduction of the exterior […]
