Facial Landmark Detection with Synthetic data

Facial landmark detection is a computer vision problem where the goal is to predict the location of specific points on a face, like the eyes, nose, and mouth. This is useful for things like facial recognition and 3D modeling. To train a model to do this, we need a lot of images with those points […]

Leveraging SSL 2 Generate High Quality 3D Face Avatar from Portrait Image

High-fidelity 3D face reconstruction from monocular images aims to obtain a 3D representation of the subject from a single or multiple input image. Recently, self-supervised deep-based methods have demonstrated impressive performance in 3D face reconstruction. These methods are efficient and produce plausible face reconstruction. However, for AAA production (games and movies), they do not yet […]

Quantifying and Combatting the Sexually Dimorphic Risks and Outcomes of Tobacco Dependency in Downtown Ottawa: A Mixed Methods Community-Based Participatory Action Research Project (SDRTT-Ottawa)

Smoking and all other forms of tobacco exposure are known to cause extremely detrimental health effects. It is the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality worldwide, and quitting smoking can increase life expectancy by as much 10 years. Tobacco is associated with poor reproductive health outcomes, cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, diabetes, blindness, and much […]

Building integrative machine learning framework for precision oncology

Traditional cancer treatments have followed a “one size fits all” approach, which limits efficacy and often results in significant side effects. This research project aims to develop an approach to predict the impact of cancer missense mutations on the drug-protein interactions of cancer treatments. The approach will use the patient’s own genomic profile and will […]
