L’identification représente un enjeu important en cybersécurité parce que, si une entité non-autorisée arrive à se faire passer pour une entité autorisée qui demande l’accès à un système, cela mène généralement à un vol de données. Au-delà de l’enjeu technique, il s’agit d’un enjeu de confiance : chaque entité doit avoir confiance en l’autre entité […]

MDA Montreal possesses a niche expertise on a wide variety of high-performance satellite telecommunication antennas. These antennas are exposed to extremely harsh environments. Some panels require a rigid mechanical assembly (i.e., nut and bolt fastening) but must preserve their thermal isolation for the proper operation of the antennas and to limit heat exchange towards the […]

Surgical Safety Technologies aims to provide healthcare professionals with the opportunity to perform research in areas of surgical performance and education and implement evidence-based solutions to improve patient safety. Search on video content would an ideal functionality to assist with healthcare professionals’ research. This project uses computer vision model to rank the relevance of the […]

Veyetals online smartphone-based application that can be downloaded through the Apple Store or the Google Play Store. It uses Remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) technique to extract Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) signal from a face video captured using smart phone camera, and then applies multiple computational algorithms to measure heart rate, heart rate variability, oxygen saturation, and […]

The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) use FRANk (Flood Risk Analysis Network), as a post storm decision making tool. This tool uses stream and rain gauge data to aid in managing and maintaining erosion control structures that are impacted by flooding events. However, FRANk has limitations, including a time-consuming rain gauge data collection process, […]

The project is a program evaluation of the mobile application OISEAU: Agents of Nature, designed by the non-profit organization Morning Star Enterprises. Morning Star has developed individual OISEAU applications for six Calgary Parks locations and the launch is the summer 2013.The application is designed to increase children’s exposure and connection with nature, as well as […]

Many retailers are interested in forecasting demand for the products they sell. Deloitte has used machine learning methods to tackle this problem in the past. However, this requires the creation of hand-crafted features based on product sales data, which is a costly and time-intensive process. Using alternative models to perform this task would remove the […]

With collaboration between the Council of the Great Lakes Region, Pollution Probe and Lambton College, the proposed project is focused on continuing the development of an artificial intelligence visualization tool to enable users to select growth constraints and visualize resulting changes to watershed health, predict how watersheds will evolve over time and prescribe actions to […]

Climate change and expansion of industrial development into the boreal zone are two, prominent stressors that Canadian boreal lakes face. This puts the quantity and quality of freshwater fish habitat at risk, and the subsequent productivity of fish populations in a given system. The objective if this work is to define the components of fish […]

In 5G and beyond networks, softwarization of network functions, as well as disaggregation of software and hardware, are the recent moves pushing Radio Access Networks (RAN) to be ultra-agile, reconfigurable and flexible. This flexibility comes along with complexity that goes beyond traditional algorithms’ capabilities to optimize the RAN. In addition, in future RANs, multiple-players interacting […]

Elephant and rhino population in southern African countries has been drastically decreasing due to poaching. This project aims to use tethered aerostats (blimps) equipped with robust cameras for constant detection and monitoring of these animals to protect them from external threats. The chosen location for implementation in Nyika National Park in northern Zambia, mainly due […]

While taking foreign language tests, people may record responses with different background noises. The contaminated audios can lead to unusual results in speech recognition and scoring by the scoring systems. Pearson would like to develop a more robust system for the automated speech recognition machine to work with clean and noisy records. Audio files are […]
