Seed funding: Feasibility study of MacDon datasets for machine learning development

This project aims to determine if MacDon’s existing data can be used to develop machine learning models for image segmentation. Image segmentation means identifying different objects in an image by assigning each pixel to a specific category. MacDon has lots of unlabelled video and image data collected from their farming equipment. Traditionally, large amounts of […]

Photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and transpiration of strawberry plants.

The spectral composition of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) reportedly results in higher crop yield and reduced thermal damage to plants. Given that the stomata response represents a link between the plant and the outside environment, exploring the relationship between photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and transpiration is paramount. This study will investigate the photosynthetic efficiency and stomatal conductance […]

Automated fault detection in commercial refrigeration systems

A refrigerant leak is one of the major contributors of commercial refrigeration unexpected breakdowns. Conventional methods of leak detection using physical sensors are expensive, have limited capability of square footage coverage, and incapable of detecting slow and progressive refrigerant leaks. Accordingly, the development of a smart leak detection system without the need to include additional […]

Manifold Learning for Anamoly Detection

Modern data analysis tasks often face challenges of high dimension and thus nonlinear dimension reduction techniques emerge as a way to construct maps from high dimensional data to their corresponding low dimensional representations. Finding such low dimensional representations of high dimensional data is beneficial in several aspects. This saves space and processing time. More importantly, […]
