As a full-service, data-driven solutions provider for aviation, SKYTRAC Systems is developing new 2-MCU satellite communications (SATCOM) terminal, SDL-350, which will be capable of achieving globally available broadband transfer rates of 352 kbps both to and from the aircraft. One critical challenge facing the R&D engineers of SDL-350 is the thermal management, because the power […]

The main problem this internship project explores is the selection, conversion, and encoding of mathematical models that pertain to the finance industry for processing on available types of analog optimization processors. This research investigation aims to develop new algorithms and code that take advantage of an analog optimization process which acts as an “oracle” for […]

Artists in the industry are eager for tools to simplify the modeling of faces for 3D characters. For a while, researchers, including ourselves, used blend shape style models for reconstructing and modeling faces. More recently, researchers investigated using Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, again mostly for face reconstruction from images. AI is more able to properly […]

The project partner, JuniperCDS (Juniper), is a digital health company that is developing a care and treatment planning (software) application called JuniperCDS, which is a clinical decision support software solution that enables clinicians to create meaningful, person-centric care plans by delivering in-context recommendations based on the latest clinical guidelines at the point of care. A […]

As virtual worlds grow larger and more detailed, complex content generation is becoming a key issue for media production industries. Creating and populating these virtual scenes with various and detailed 3D entities coherent with their environment is a difficult and time-consuming task mainly based on manual authoring. Developing novel tools that are able to scale […]

Windows account for about 30% of the total heat lost from buildings. Fenestration products like blinds and shades can increase the thermal resistance of windows, causing a reduction in the heat loss from windows. In this study, the performance of Smart Blind, an automated blind that adjusts its position to reduce the cooling/heating energy consumption […]

The Indigenous Foodlands Conservation Areas Project will conduct participatory action research with Elders, Indigenous knowledge holders and Indigenous law/governance experts to support the BC Working Group on Indigenous Food Sovereignty and the IISAK OLAM Foundation in the process of mapping out and advocating for Indigenous Foodland Conservation Areas in Neskonlith Secwepemc territory. In the Neskonlith […]

McElhanney provides Engineering and Surveying services across Canada. They want to leverage the AI feature extraction work conducted in 2021 – 22 (Mitacs Accelerate IT23104) whereby the University of Alberta interns helped to extract physical municipal assets (fire hydrants, street lights, manholes, curbs, etc.) from detailed terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data, i.e., LiDAR point-clouds. This […]
