Our partner organization has developed a new type of camera, one where depth information is part of a single lens/sensor construction, meaning that there are no occlusions or shadows which plague stereo cameras, there is no requirement to light the scene as well time-of-flight cameras, and the expense is low compared to light-field cameras. Currently […]

The ability to extract 3D models from 2D images, a process called Inverse Graphics, finds applications in the many applications of Virtual Reality. For the development of urban digital twins, we focus our research on Inverse Graphics of buildings, which would greatly simplify the reconstruction of entire city blocks in a virtual environment. We plan […]

Le projet vise l’opérationnalisation d’un modèle d’intelligence artificielle permettant de modéliser la structure des toits au Canada à partir d’imagerie géoréférencée de télédétection par laser (LIDAR). En obtenant ainsi de l’information précise sur chaque bâtiment et la structure des toits et combinant ces informations à de multiples données météorologiques en provenance de sources externes et […]

Distributed computing is a model in which components of a software system are shared among multiple computers to improve efficiency and performance. The growing interest in cloud computing scenarios that incorporate both distributed computing capabilities and heterogeneous hardware presents a significant opportunity for network operators. The aim of this Research is to develop a purpose-built […]

Les empreintes latentes sont des empreintes digitales trouvées sur des scènes de crime. Elles permettent d’aider les experts scientifiques et légaux à identifier ou exclure des candidats et ainsi apporter le poids de la preuve dans les enquêtes. Sur ces empreintes, on trouve des points caractéristiques, appelées minuties, qui correspondent aux bifurcations et fin de […]

Fuel channel inspection is critical to safe operation of CANDU reactors. However, the existing techniques used to inspect fuel channels are slow. Fuel channel inspection represents a major bottleneck during maintenance shutdowns of CANDU reactors. To reduce inspection time, it is proposed to develop a robotic inspection system. Multiple copies of this inspection system can […]

Pastoral communities in North-Western Kenya and Eastern Uganda has for the last decades gone through a vicious cycle of bloody conflict. The conflicts are centred mainly around resource use but manifests in cattle theft/raids leaving fatal casualties, mass displacements and abject poverty in its wake. While these conflicts are majorly driven by an array of […]

Comprendre les mécanismes et apprécier les effets quantifiables qui s’opèrent dans une économie donnée lorsqu’un agent économique investit dans des immobilisations et crée de l’emploi constitue l’un des principaux objectifs de la conceptualisation du modèle intersectoriel de l’Institut de la Statistique du Québec. L’ensemble des juridictions se dotent de modèles capables de fournir un panorama […]

Diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis have been widely impacted by the pathogenesis of inflammation. After traditional therapy, most of the time dying cells stimulate inflammatory effects which results the reduction of therapeutic effect and enhances the drug resistance. That is why treatment often requires frequent or continuous high-dosage administration of […]

Combination therapy has been one of the cornerstones for combating cancers. Even though the survival rate of cancer patients after receiving combination therapy is improved dramatically, there are still many unsolved issues to prevent us from claiming combination therapy is a cure for cancers. Those issues include it does not apply to all types of […]

Presently the electrical grids of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are operated with limited energy exchange between them. Connecting the three provinces together with a “Western Canada Grid (WCG)” could yield significant advantages. Connection with HVDC transmission is attractive due to its control flexibility and stability. This project will investigate optimum converter types and control methods […]
