La première partie de ce projet est d’évaluer la télédétection par laser ou LIDAR (« light detection and ranging ») en tant qu’outil pour cartographier les routes. La deuxième partie consiste à transposer les données acquises lors de la cartographie dans une interface graphique, telle que Google Earth, par exemple. À l’heure actuelle, les informations […]

Medtronic is a global leader in medical technology and biomedical engineering, working towards non-contact vital signs detection. This technology would be especially helpful in the case of high-risk or premature newborns. Continuous or at least frequent monitoring of newborns outside of clinical environments improves quality of life for parents and newborns recently discharged from the […]

The aim of this project is to research and develop a new DICOM modality for the optical coherence tomography images obtained by Perimeter’s Optical Tissue Imaging (OTISTM) device. Following the creation of a suitable modality, a novel solution for transfer to and integration with the PACS servers utilized by current Perimeter customers will also be […]

In automatic casting applications, the aim is to accurately recognise facial regions that correspond to a same actor appearing in a movie to produce described video. In particular, this project will focus on challenging tasks of capturing and modeling the facial trajectory for each person appearing in a movie in order to predict when/where the […]

Over the past 25 years researchers at the UBC Geophysical Inversion Facility (GIF) have generated forward modelling and inversion codes that deal with most types of data of interest to a consortium of mining companies. This proposal moves the research to applications in their corporate environments, and to advance the tools and understanding about how […]

Lorsqu’une organisation implante un projet en technologies de l’information, il y a généralement plusieurs contraintes à respecter ; le temps, la technologie, les ressources, le coût et les besoins des utilisateurs par exemple. Le grand nombre de contraintes fait en sorte que les projets sont souvent prêts en retard, avec moins de fonctionnalités que prévues […]

Ciena, the network specialist, is collaborating with Universities and SMEs in Ontario and Québec in order to develop an ecosystem that accelerates advanced research and development activities in the fields of high-capacity optical transmission systems, software defined networks, business intelligence and process automation. A steady-state of over 50 Masters, PhD and Post-Doc students per year, […]

Miniaturized resonators and oscillators built using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technologies have the potential to revolutionize the $5 billion timing market, as they offers direct CMOS compatibility, a dramatic size reduction, and a fabrication cost that is a fraction of the current incumbent technology. However, frequency stability has proved to be major challenge for many companies. […]

WSP – Canada a été mandaté par le Millenium Challenge Corporation (MCC) pour offrir ses services d’ingénierie très spécialisés dans le cadre d’un don à la Côte d’Ivoire de l’ordre de 500 millions de dollars US, pour plusieurs projets d’infrastructures dont des projets routiers. En effet, la route constitue un vecteur de développement économique très […]

Dynamic Software Updating (DSU) is a necessity in the operation of a large computing infrastructure that must deliver high availability. An issue very relevant to the industry is that legacy applications running in data centers were often designed and constructed without due consideration for the need of partial upgrades in the future. The goal of […]

Les mesures géophysiques dans les galeries souterraines et en forage permettent d’accroître la profondeur d’investigation en tirant profit des connaissances géologiques et géophysiques de surface. Il y a plusieurs limitations qui ont freiné l’application des techniques géophysiques en forage ; notamment les forages subhorizontaux rendent l’avancement de sonde difficile. L’objectif de notre étude est à […]
