Methods for the Estimation of Traffic Matrices

The accurate knowledge of origin/destination traffic matrices allows network operators to efficiently perform network management operations to maximize network performance (minimize network congestion, average delay, jitter, energy consumption, etc.) and increase network reliability in case of device failures and other exceptional events. However, traffic matrices cannot be directly measured, and network operators, such Videotron, can […]

Let’s Do This Together! Developing a Knowledge-based Documentary Media, Community of Practice and Institute at the University of New Brunswick

Academic institutions and funding agencies are increasingly asking their researchers to conduct more outreach activities, including knowledge-mobilization endeavours. However, researchers often lack training and/or resources to effectively communicate with non-academic audiences. Using the DOCTalks Guide: Cross-sector Collaborative Practices for Knowledge-based Documentary Media, we propose a DOCTalks Institute for Knowledge-based Documentary Media and an associated Community […]

Indoor Mapping based on recorded videos

Knowledge of indoor spatial information is vital to stores, warehouses, industries, and homes alike. It is used to optimize layouts to achieve easier navigation for humans, machines, and autonomous robots. Maps provide limited data about the specific placement of objects in the environment and inferring information about the physical space can be impossible. The objective […]

Monitoring Vital Signs and Location for COVID-19 detection

COVID-19 has already infected more than 2.8 million people with close to 200 thousand death globally (as at 2020 April 25), while it is continuously spreading. Before a vaccine is discovered, the only way to slow down the spread and reduce the number of death is testing. Nevertheless, there is no guarantee that someone recovered […]
