Modern Plug-and-Play Image Priors for RAW Image Enhancement

Modern mobile phones have become the dominant photography device in recent years. However, due to form factor constraints both the camera sensor and lens have to remain compact, which in turn has a negative effect on the resulting image quality such as decreased resolution and noise. Image restoration attempts to recover a clean latent image […]

Effect of Mineralogy on the Application of Sensor-based Sorting Techniques Year Two

Comminution, the process of crushing and grinding ore to liberate minerals, is the most energy intensive part of the processing flowsheet and accounts for upwards of 75% of the overall energy consumption of the processing plant. Ideally we would only crush and grind those rocks that contain economically extractable amounts of minerals. MineSense has developed […]

Increasing and Automating Adaptivity of LogicBlox Datalog Platform

Declarative programming techniques have been used to make programming available to common users through introducing query languages such as SQL and spreadsheet programs such as Excel. The proposed industrial partner, LogicBlox, has developed software that enables highly-complex data analysis through the flexible and familiar form of spreadsheet computing. The main goal of this proposal is […]

Guidance, Navigation, and Control for Autonomous Spacecraft Docking

Current spacecraft rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking systems typically rely on human-monitored or controlled Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) systems. This project focuses on an autonomous GNC system specifically for spacecraft rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking applications. Autonomous systems are advantageous as they allow for operation without human intervention, do not rely on intermittent communication […]

Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Hydrocarbon Recovery, CO2 Geological Storage processes estimation based on 3d hydrodynamic modeling

The particularly important goals faced in the world oil and gas sector is the increasing hydrocarbon production and net zero carbon emissions. Achieving climate neutrality means balancing emissions in such a way that the entry of CO2 into the atmosphere is prevented by its absorption, further utilization and storage. The Enhanced HC Recovery methods and […]

Acceptabilité des innovations en santé: le cas de l’exosquelette de réadaptation

Les organisations de santé doivent innover et se maintenir à jour avec les nouvelles technologies basées sur les données probantes. Les exosquelettes de réadaptation sont une nouvelle technologie pouvant améliorer la mobilité des personnes ayant une lésion médullaire, mais la recherche sur acceptabilité par les acteurs de la réadaptation est limitée. L’étude de cas de […]

Digital Programming Assistant

We are looking at developing a more interactive review/test methods for students rather than just our current true and false questions. We also want to ensure cross compatibility to ensure that the app for the review and testing works on all operating systems on phones when taking our courses online (most of our participants use […]

Proxemics-Aware Agents for Everyday Activities

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more ubiquitous with each passing day. Our goal in this project is to enhance human-AI interaction by exploring ways in which proxemics can help drive and support the interaction. We want to create more intuitive and user friendly agents that are aware of one’s context and proxemics in […]

Visualization in motion for wearable and mobile devices

the motion relationship between viewers and visualizations can affect readability and usability of data in various application contexts. Our previous research (10.1109/TVCG.2022.3184993) showed that motion factors such as moving speed and movement trajectory impact reading accuracy. Nevertheless, we still do not know how visualizations should be designed in real scenarios such as when both viewers […]
