This project will focus on First Nations fisheries use and management within the community of West Moberly First Nations, Moberly Lake, BC. This research will be looking at whether the development from heavy industry has impacted the health of freshwater fisheries in the area, and if and how the health of freshwater fisheries affects […]

  The goal of the project is to reduce the workload involved in the occlusion filling step of a 2D to 3D video conversion pipeline. To do so, the intern will develop and implement a video inpainting algorithm suitable for use in Hollywood Films. The algorithm will be integrated into the organization’s 2D to 3D video […]

There are about 180 public water treatment plants in Manitoba relying on surface water with high organic content as their source of supply. Organic carbon in the water reacts with chlorine during water disinfection. This reaction forms carcinogenic compounds w hich pose a health risk for people consuming the water. The Waterhen water treatment plant is an example […]

The emerging high dynamic range (HDR) displays provide a much larger range of luminance compared to conventional low dynamic range (LDR) displays, thereby improving the visual impression of the displayed images. This is achieved by expanding the effective dynamic range towards darker and lighter luminance through a combination of a conventional TFT LCD panel and […]

  Social exclusion is a major issue facing people in poverty and who experience homelessness. Participation in decisions affecting them, importantly, the development of programs to address housing and supports, is a key component of both inclusion and provision of appropriate services. The purpose of the research is to explore, develop, and document guidelines, mechanisms […]

  Achieving energy efficiency in buildings depends on how well the energy consuming equipment are controlled while providing ease of use and comfort for the occupants. There is a growing need to use modern smart sensors that can monitor environmental variables such as temperature, lighting, and humidity and send control commands to turn on energy […]

The objective of this project is the research of multi-sensor Appearance Based SLAM (ASLAM) system for day/night operations in indoor and outdoor environments. These algorithms would perform place recognition based on multiple sensor data (imagery, laser, and radar) gathered from a UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) as it travels through the environment. When the vehicle returns […]

  The project focuses on the characterization of the evolution with time of the properties of physiological signals recorded in different clinical settings, describing sepsis shock and other clinical complications that are common features in Intensive Care Units. Changes in heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation will be studied through an array […]

Approximately one fifth of all silver produced in North America comes from recycled sources. A large percentage of this is recovered from medical x-rays. Essential Silver Incorporated (ESI) is a silver recycling business based in British Columbia. The company proposes to purchase and streamline a number of silver recycling businesses across North America using x-rays […]

  The Canadian agricultural industry stands out as an emblematic case among high income countries that have long relied on immigrant and migrant labour from poorer, non-white countries to meet its labour needs. State-sponsored programs such as the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (SAWP) and the Low Skilled Pilot Project (LSPP) have facilitated the legal entry of migrant labour from […]

  The research focuses on governance in outsourcing relationships While the outsourcing industry grows at double digit rates, satisfaction with outsourcing arrangements could certainly be improved. Often the source of dissatisfaction, governance is a broad term that includes formal issues such as contracts and service level agreements, as well as informal issues such as relationship management and trust. The […]

The purpose of the research project is to develop options for the reduction of the carbon footprint at Hydro One Networks Inc. (HONI). The research will focus on helping HONI meet a reduction goal of half of current emission levels over the next decade. The company has taken preliminary steps to assess and plan for […]
