A laser-optics vehicle profiling system will be designed and developed in this project. The image of a laser line projected onto the surface of a vehicle from a vantage point will be used to make metric measurements on the vehicle and to develop a 3D model of it. It is conjectured that this setup would […]

Les travailleurs qui ne sont pas dans un véhicule mais directement sur la chaussée constituent un sous-groupe plus à risque lorsqu’il est question d’accident routier au travail (ART). Nous proposons d’étudier les relations entre les environnements de travail (dans la rue), le risque d’accident routier et les niveaux de stress que les travailleurs piétons expérimentent […]

The main objective of this project is using deep learning algorithm to enhance the current state of the art tooth wear monitoring system used in mining shovels. Unlike the current approach, the proposed deep learning method operates by building a model from input images in order to make data-driven predictions. We use deep learning approach […]

The goal of this proposal is to make the most advantage of the recently developed technique of Frequency domain Optical Parametric Amplification (FOPA) by pushing this technology to unprecedented levels. The IP has been protected by the group of prof. François Légaré from INRS_EMT. The main inventor, Bruno Schmidt, has founded few-cycle Inc. to commercialize […]

Les principaux défis de la cybersécurité sont la protection des données sensibles, des renseignements disponibles sur Internet, et la lutte contre les actions de piratage numérique. Pour une banque coopérative comme le Mouvement Desjardins, le risque lié à la cybersécurité est important, puisqu’il peut remettre en cause la relation de service basée sur la confiance […]

We are all well aware of the spectacular improvement in life-expectancy around the world since the 1990’s. While most people would agree that living longer is a good thing, it nonetheless increases the risk of having people outlive their assets so that they become forced to accept lower standards of living in old age. People […]

La région est caractérisée par un complexe de forêts, lacs et tourbières soumis à différentes perturbations naturelles et anthropiques dont les feux de forêts, les épidémies d’insectes et plus récemment la construction d’un nouveau complexe hydro-électrique dont la mise en eau de trois bassins (Romaine-1, 2 et 3) est déjà complétée. Le projet proposé vise […]

Nature of the work: This project will assess a novel lululemon clothing ensembles during transitions between differing environments. Anticipated Outcomes: An optimization of the design of clothing ensembles for transitions between different environments is the anticipated outcome. Relevance: The project will provide garments for Canadians to improve their health, safety and comfort during outdoor activities. […]

L’imagerie cone beam CT (CBCT) prend une place de plus en plus importante dans l’exploration des structures osseuses du complexe dento-maxillo-facial. Cette modalité d’imagerie, moins irradiante que l’imagerie par tomodensitométrie conventionnelle (TDM), procure des images de qualité similaire, voire supérieure, à celle des images TDM. Toutefois, les rapports Signal/Bruit ne sont pas assez élevés, et […]

Verbal communication in noise while wearing hearing protection devices (HPDs) is often difficult. Recently, a “Radio Acoustical Environment” (RAVE) was developed within the EERS-ETS Industrial Research Chair in In-Ear Technologies (CRITIAS) to enhance communication for people wearing HPDs in noise. With RAVE, speech is captured from inside the ear, denoised, and enhanced to be sent […]

In a world that is getting noisier and as more people are at risk of noise-induced hearing loss the NSERC-EERS industrial research chair in in-ear technologies (CRITIAS) and its industrial partner EERS, have joined forces to address the existing issues in hearing protection devices (HPD). Difficulties in communication is the most prevalent reason why HPDs […]

Automatic harvesting of mushroom produce is a promising opportunity for mushroom growers to increase their revenues. This increased revenue will be obtained through savings in human labour as well as the expected increase in yield and quality due to the consistency of automated solutions compared to manual ones. Automated harvesting solutions do already exist for […]
