In this work, a real-time feasible Multiple Hypothesis Tracker will be developed for multiple targets tracking. A computationally feasible approximated version of MHT will be compared against the robabilistic Data Association (PDA) based Tracker as well as multi-frame assignment based multitarget tracker. Intensive testing will also be performed in order to determine the performance, complexity, […]

Mercury arc lamps are used in commercial water treatment reactors to provide ultraviolet radiation to disinfect the water or to break down chemical contaminants. These reactors may contain 50 to 100 lamps in a single vessel. In a relatively clear medium like water, a significant fraction of the radiation from one lamp is incident on […]

Software testing in one of the imporant phases in software development process and has a significant impact on the final product quality. However, the spent cost and time for testing are high, and often increase after several releases. This project aims at test case selection and prioritization at Research in Motion (RIM) Company. The objective […]

This project seeks to simplify the development and management of business processes deployed on a distributed Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The target architecture is an enterprise system with distributed services coordinated by application workflows or business processes. Declarative goals, specified in Service Level Agreements (SLA), are used to assist in the development of such applications, […]

Building a mathematical model of how user behaves on a website is a useful method for determining what a user does and does not like. This model allows for information relevant to a user to be presented without having the user go out and find the information by themselves. These types of systems, generally known […]

This project encompasses the development of a suite of algorithms for spectrum sensing and awareness, and integration and testing in the partner company’s radio systems. The algorithms concern joint signal detection, modulation classification, and parameter estimation. In this project, the theoretical findings and experimental studies will complement each other, with the target outcome of adding […]

MRF Geosystems Corporation is an experienced Geographical Information System (GIS) firm specializing in GIS-related application development, data conversion and GIS consulting services. This project will be focused on developing an online geospatial data analysis platform which offers clustering function and map visualization with a spatial data clean module. This will be achieved by two main […]

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has indicated that driving while drowsy is the cause of 22 to 24 percent of car crashes, and results in a four- to six-times higher crash/crash risk compared to driving while alert. Therefore, the use of assistive systems that monitor a driver’s level of vigilance and alert the […]

Since the advent of rail transportation, the integrity of the rail and track conditions play a significant role in ensuring that trains are able to move people safely. Although this work has been hazardous since rail transportation was created, there have been few successful attempts at improving location awareness of approaching trains and the location […]

This project involves several researchers in the Multimedia Communications Lab at SFU, and isaimed at developing a prototype system for binocular stereoscopic eye tracking. The systemwill consist of eyeglasses worn by the subject, two infrared eye cameras (one for each eye) and astereo imaging device. In addition to conventional gaze direction estimation, this would requireestimating […]

  The absolute phase is a new mathematical concept that can provide new information about a wireless channel. It holds great promise for extracting new information such as the location of a user, such as a cell phone without the need for GPS, etc. New theoretical work has been published which describes the mathematics of […]

  The aim of this proposal is to study head impact and improve the design of helmets. Prior to design a helmet with better shock diverting system, it is important to test the existing helmets to understand their pros and cons. These experiments are also beneficial for comparing the results of the new design with […]
