Implementation of the Asset Proxy for (Non-fungible token) NFT Paradigm

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are cryptographic assets on a blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish them from each other. Due to its vast usability in different industries, such as gaming, real estate, and art, many professionals believe it will be the future of trading. However, like any other new technology, it has issues […]

Partial Discharge Propagation Model for Power Transformer Winding

Transformers are one of the key elements in electric power systems whose health ensures reliable, stable electric power for the economy and society. Partial discharge (PD) is known to be a symptom of defects in electrical insulation systems, such as those employed in transformers. Detection and localization of PD in transformers are critical to develop […]

Surface and subsurface damage segmentation using thermography and deep learning

Infrastructure facilities in Canada and many other places worldwide continuously deteriorate. Most structures either reached or exceeded their design service life. Bridges, buildings, roads, and other facilities deteriorate over time. To ensure the safety of these structures, visual inspections are routinely carried out by trained engineers. However, these visual inspections have some critical disadvantages, such […]

Development of a finite element software module for the fatigue life prediction of welded structures.

Due to modification ease, cost, and time-saving benefits, computational-based methods through the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software programs is the main approach besides physical testing (accelerated durability laboratory test, in-service drive tests) for evaluating the life of welded structures in several industries. Based on guaranteed functionality, integrity, and life cycle robustness requirements in […]

Computer vision for 3D environment recognitionin augmented reality mobile games

We propose to develop computer vision technologies for recognizing 3D environment for augmented reality (AR) mobile games. Given an image/video taken captured a mobile device (e.g. iPad), we would like to be able to recognize some useful information about the 3D environment of the game player. For example, one of our goals is to recognize […]

Development and Evaluation of a Portable Microwave Breast Imaging System: Enhanced Physics Modeling

Access to breast cancer screening is limited in rural populations and developing countries, resulting in increased mortality rates for women. Microwave based breast cancer detection is a safer and less costly approach to early breast cancer detection. Building on our experience in experimental microwave radar-based breast imaging research we are developing and testing a portable […]
