Automated object detection and tracking in videos is still one of the challenging problems in computer vision. Generally, it is a very challenging problem due to the loss of information caused by the projection of the 3D world on a 2D image, noise in images, cluttered background, complex object motion, partial or full occlusions, changes […]

In boreal and temperate regions, dams are mainly constructed to provide ecosystem services such as hydroelectricity production. River impoundment and the alteration of natural hydrological regimes are suggested to be major disturbances to aquatic ecosystems. To meet long-term environmental objectives for sustainable development, Hydro-Quebec recently adopted the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach. LCA is an […]

This research project analyzes how South Korean TV dramas, particularly King the Land (2023), portray masculinity and why these representations appeal to Western audiences like those in Canada and Brazil. By studying cinematic techniques and cultural themes, the project aims to understand how these dramas shape global perceptions of South Korean men and culture. The […]

In this project, we will utilize thermal feedback for target position identification in a virtual environment, e.g., allow users to know the location and distance of a virtual object with respect to their position based on the location and intensity of the thermal feedback. Our goal is to design and develop a new VR application […]

Research focused on the history of Latin American animation, from its inception, exploring international collaborations, and concluding in contemporary animation.

This research explores the creation and study of a prototype controller with integrated thermal feedback (hot/cold tactile output). This type of device has not previously been explored or understood deeply in academic Human-Computer Interaction or Games User Research Literature. The controller with integrated thermal feedback will be evaluated in a simple 3D game and compared […]

This project will design and deploy a citizen-science game to harvest passages of language for a database to support Advanced Natural Language Processing.

Cette recherche explore l’intégration des espaces physique et virtuel en production cinématographique. L’espace physique regroupe acteurs, décors, éclairages et caméras, tandis que l’espace virtuel crée des environnements numériques immersifs. Pour un rendu visuel réaliste, les mouvements de la caméra physique doivent être précisément suivis et reproduits dans l’espace virtuel. Actuellement, ce suivi repose sur des […]
