In this project, the main purpose is to develop a tool for facial image anonymization by replacing the face in an image with a fake, generated face. To have realistic looking generated images, it is essential for the generated face to have a similar pose to the original one and to be seamlessly harmonic to […]

Sometimes an object is partially hidden by a physical object like fingers, book etc. or by digitally pasted artifacts like blurringof an area. The intern will be working on detecting these types of digital and physical occlusions on an object. At Jumio we encounter documents that are hidden or occluded by such masks. These documents […]

Several engineering equipment ranging from those used for portable power generation, to medium scale gas turbine aircraft engines, and large scale land-based power generation units burn fuel to produce either electric energy or generate propulsive force. This energy conversion takes place inside a combustion chamber which emits noise and combustion pollutants. The objective of the […]

Businesses are collecting more and more data, but they do not have the manpower to properly analyse it. This project will implement a proof of concept for a system that uses machine learning to improve the detection of cyber threats. The machine learning algorithm will receive information from many different data sources, detect where there […]

The intent of this project is to reduce the cycle time in the vehicle repair process across the Carstar network. The project also includes developing process models that will help in guiding Carstar to reduce cycle time in major process steps for all stores of varying size and disparate locations. During the process of investigation […]

Speed is incredibly important when addressing issues with computer security. The longer the time between the attack’s start and resolution, the more assets that attackers can steal from a company. There are various security platforms that can alert a company to a cyber-attack. This research project aims to combine knowledge from all these platforms together […]

This project will support the development and implementation of a collaborative conservation strategy for the Annapolis Valley Sand Barrens, a globally rare and endangered ecosystem found in Nova Scotia. It has been estimated that only 3% of the Annapolis Valley Sand Barrens remains today, lost primarily due to competing land-uses such as urban development, agriculture […]

For organizations that use the Internet, their employees will visit thousands of websites every day. However, there is a chance that the destination website is not safe to visit. Such websites may be fraudulent, phishing, or even data-stealing related. On the other hand, determining if the target website link is suspicious or not could help […]

In the recent technological age, new threats and attacks emerge nearly every day. It might be against everyone on the internet or targeted towards specific organizations and individuals. Attackers have begun to use highly sophisticated techniques and technologies to attain their objectives. It’s a high time, the defenders scale up to defending their infrastructure against […]

Phishing emails are a common form of a cyber attack. Attackers use leading content to fraud victims, such as fake banking information, forged Google Alert messages, and so on. Phishing attacks have been around for years, causing countless serious consequences, such as financial losses and confidential documents leaks. As of now, there is still no […]

Old growth forests provide important ecological services including carbon storage and habitats for a diverse array of species, yet they are often rare across the landscape. These forests are often challenging to identify due to the lack of concrete definitions of what constitutes old growth, as well as the lack of understanding of the typical […]

This project aims to study and assess nutrient conditions in Lake Massawippi and its surroundings. Previous studies suggest that fertilizer contaminants from various agricultural plots flow to nearby waters, especially the adjacent Tomifobia river. Our team will assess soil, and water components for net transfer of nutrient and other particle contamination. These measurements will be […]
