The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is a family-based intervention targeting families of children who are off the healthy weight trajectory. The EIP is a 10-week program offered at community centers across BC where children and their families meet once a week for 90 minutes. Parents will be provided with healthy lifestyle content and will engage […]

The reduction of aircraft life-cycle cost and environmental footprint, increasingly desired by the aerospace industry, requires innovative ideas not only at design level but also at maintenance level. Aircraft manufacturers are looking for highly reliable equipment; however, degradations due to wear and tear and faults/failures are inevitable. Thus, when degradations occur, aircraft owners/operators want to […]

Le projet a pour objectif d’établir un processus permettant d’optimiser la planification et la gestion de projet de la conception jusqu’à la construction finale. L’utilisation d’une conception intégrée et d’une maquette numérique 3D (sur ordinateur) vise à augmenter la collaboration entre les intervenants du projet pour permettre de mettre en place ce processus. La maquette […]

For an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) to make decisions and drive independently on urban streets, the problem at hand can be broken down into many phases, two of which are perception and prediction. Perception refers to the process of extracting valuable information from the environment using data collected by sensors such as LIDAR and camera. This […]

The rapid development in the areas of statistics and machine learning demonstrate unprecedented performance in making cognitive business decisions. Quartic.ai aims to use state-of-the-art machine learning technology to help manufacturers assess and maintain the quality of their industrial units, which suffer damage due to continuous usage and normal wear and tear. Such damage needs to […]

The proposed research aims to find a solution to the connectivity of the massive number of devices that are essential for the monitoring and regulation of power generation and demands in power grids. Power grids present specific challenges that the intern will take into consideration and seek to propose solutions to the connectivity and security […]

While drone technologies currently are a very fast-growing market, recent incidents, including mid-air collision with aircraft and obvious risks for people and property when out of control, forced the government of Canada to adopt strong measures to ground all Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) of more than 250 grams. A Special Flight Operations Certificate is now […]

This project will support efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from coal-fired power generation. In this case, the greenhouse gas of interest is carbon dioxide which is captured at SaskPower’s Boundary Dam Power Station near Estevan, Saskatchewan. This carbon dioxide is transported to the nearby Aquistore site, where it is injected into porous sandstone […]

This study will focus on an alternative remote sensing method for crop long-term biomass monitoring and prediction of final yield using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based 3D point cloud data in Southwestern Ontario. Currently, biomass and yield are estimated from statistical and crop growth models. However, statistical models are only applicable for specific area or […]

Electrocardiography or ECG is a technology that can be used to monitor the electrical activity of the heart over a long period of time. Such signals can be utilized for interpreting both the structure and function of the heart. Traditional ECG designs consist of several electrodes that need to be placed directly in contact with […]

Over the past 25 years researchers at the UBC Geophysical Inversion Facility (GIF) have generated forward modelling and inversion codes that deal with most types of data of interest to a consortium of mining companies. This proposal moves the research to applications in their corporate environments, and to advance the tools and understanding about how […]

To enable the development of self-driving vehicles, an accurate characterization of automotive radar modules under various road or weather conditions is required to ensure reliability is maintained under all circumstances. With this fundamental building-block established, ACAMP will be able to support Canadian technology companies in the development of autonomous vehicles. This project will also provide […]
