While Android is a very popular platform and represents the fastest growing segment in the smartphone and tablet space, we see all kinds of different android platforms emerging. Thus, we not only have the problem of having different android operating systems, we also have the problem that vendors are able to customize the android operating […]

Currently, the service provided by GRAD4 allows buyers to upload their designs for quotes from the suppliers. However, there is no initial manufacturability check for buyers to evaluate their parts before submitting their quotes. Buyers may get feedback from the suppliers, which indicates that their parts are not able to be manufacturable after a several-days […]

The project consists in developing a design procedure for beam-column-bracing connection using welded end plates. This type of connection is simpler to fabricate, however, at present, the design standards do not specifically provide for their design calculations.

Le secteur du transport représente le plus important contributeur d’émissions de gaz à effet de serre (Hoornweg et al., 2011; United Nations, 2020). Parmi l’ensemble des moyens de transport (routier, aérien, maritime), c’est le transport routier qui pèse le plus dans la balance en matière de quantités de CO2 émises dans l’atmosphère. Dans une démarche […]

A review of current literature will be used to develop an enhanced record of knowledge on the topic of lost fishing gear in British Columbia; specifically looking at the socio-economic and ecological impacts, regionally applicable case study solutions, best practice framework recommendations, and current policies on environmental management of marine debris in Canada. Results will […]

The production of biogas via the anaerobic digestion of organic waste is a growing industry in Canada. One benefit of this approach is that the resultant organic waste (digestate) can be dewatered and used as fertilizer; however, the removed water fraction remains rich in organic compounds and must be adequately treated before being discharged from […]

This project is a collaboration between researchers from the Simon Fraser University and industry partners, Lifelike & Believable Animation Design and Animatrik Film Design. Its goal is to research and develop machine learning techniques for capturing and analyzing movement data in real-time to support the world’s first immersive in-game 3D simulcast of a live, real-time […]

Adventure tourism is an important industry to the strategic development of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Region in the BC Interior. Many communities are transitioning from resource extraction industries to adventure tourism. Adventure tourism is often chosen due to its ability to provide socio-cultural, environmental and economic benefits. This research will explore how resilient tourism development […]

Compass offers a wide range of decision support services, analysis, and innovative tools to help people, government, and industry make informed decisions. We help groups balance technical, social, environmental, and financial objectives to make sure things that matter most are evaluated correctly and fairly. Much of our work relies on face-to-face interaction which has been […]

In this project our goal is to facilitate the 3D reconstruction of assets that are found in the ocean bed for the purpose of monitoring the state of the asset, especially to assess whether there is corrosion or cracks in the equipment. Through the use of high-quality subsea imaging, we can obtain images of assets […]

Les cartographies et modèles urbains en 3D sont des représentations indispensables afin de visualiser et d’augmenter l’environnement dans les applications exploitées par des utilisateurs mobiles, qu’ils soient des professionnels (ex. ingénieurs civils, …) ou des citoyens. Les dernières années ont vu un développement remarquable des systèmes de télémétrie mobile (i.e. LiDAR), installés sur des véhicules […]

Data analysis plays an important role in healthcare as it enables service providers to discover hidden knowledge in the data, allowing them make more informed decisions about patients’ health. The continuing increase in the amount of data and lack of skilled people, however, has made data analysis very challenging. This project aims at developing web-based […]
