La recharge de batterie ou encore l’alimentation continue d’appareils/engins sans fils et éloignés de toute source électrique ou solaire, comme dans le cas d’applications dans le domaine spatial, sont de véritables défis. L’usage couplé d’un émetteur laser et d’un photo-transducteur (PPC) pour transférer de la puissance sur de longues distances est une solution potentielle intéressante. […]

Automating the extraction of handwritten text from checks is crucial for fraud detection and efficient check processing. Although Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tools like Tesseract excel with typed text, they often falter with handwritten content, causing computational inefficiencies. This project’s focus is on developing a rapid and cost-effective OCR solution tailored for handwritten text on […]

Le présent projet de stage à court terme, qui sera suivi d’autres modules de stage et d’un parcours de recherche doctorale, vise à planifier un projet de développement scientifique et éducatif pour le Géoparc de Percé, compte tenu de son énorme potentiel de durabilité, qui est encore peu exploré d’un point de vue éducatif. Le […]

Our project aims to tackle the persistent issue of bank check fraud by using advanced deep learning technologies. By developing a system that can automatically detect fraudulent alterations in check images, we seek to enhance the security and reliability of financial transactions. This project is a collaboration with Verafin Inc., a leading provider of fraud […]

The proposed research project aims to tackle the issue of bank cheque fraud. The project will use advanced object detection AI models to accurately extract and segment bank cheques into their component fields, a crucial step in detecting fraudulent activity. These AI models will be trained to recognize specific parts of a cheque, such as […]

Le présent projet de recherche poursuit l’objectif de décrire le profil scolaire et à l’emploi des personnes étudiantes lanaudoises de 15 à 25 ans. Le Comité régional pour la valorisation de l’éducation (CRÉVALE), partenaire de cette étude, a pour mandat de favoriser la diffusion et le transfert de connaissances pour accroître la réussite éducative de […]

Our technology utilizes synthetic DNA designed to exclusively bind and sense specific target biomolecules. Our multiplex platform, a unique feature, consists of eight biosensors specifically targeting one breast cancer marker type. These markers, which are stage-dependent, along with diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive markers, represent a significant advancement in breast cancer diagnostics and subsequent care for […]

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common brain disorder affecting movement, with one of its challenging symptoms being freezing of gait (FOG), where a person temporarily feels as though their feet are glued to the ground. Current treatments often fail to help with FOG, highlighting the need for more research. This study uses advanced MRI techniques […]

A large number of biological samples have been collected from research participants and are stored in freezers. In addition, huge volume of omics datasets exist. However, currently there is no place where all these resources are listed thus the research community is not aware of the existence of most of these samples and data. To […]

As you’re walking, suddenly, your feet become glued to the floor, unable to move. This is what people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) often experience, a symptom called Freezing of Gait (FOG). Despite how common it is and its impact on daily life, finding effective treatments has been challenging because we don’t fully understand why it […]

L’histoire moderne du crime organisé au Québec est marquée d’actions politiques, notamment le travail de construction du phénomène des gangs de rue en tant que problème social. Après le démantèlement du Wolf Pack – un réseau de prostitution juvénile- par l’opération scorpion en 2002, de nombreuses voix se sont élevées pour dénoncer le caractère dangereux […]

Hyperspectral imaging is among the most promising earth observation technologies today. Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) from satellites and uncrewed aerial systems is now feasible and enables the monitoring of new earth systems at unprecedented spatio-temporal scales. Applications of HSI include agriculture, natural resources and environmental monitoring, to name a few. Simulation of the hyperspectral imaging process […]
