The idea of using light for transferring data has been developed rapidly since 1960s. Today, using light for short-distance communication, as an alternative for copper wires, is rapidly growing mostly because of its broadband communication characteristics. Optical communication systems consist of both electronic and photonic components. Designing such systems will benefit from an Integrated Development […]

The GammaGuard is the mobile application which the user can be used to detect radiation level by using detectors, in our research they are called CT 100 and CT007, or using mobile camera. The previous work was only focusing on the CT 007 which used the classic Bluetooth technology. In CT 100, the Bluetooth low […]

The goal of this research is to investigate, design and evaluate user-adaptive visualization systems, which personalize interaction based on the individual needs of a given user. In order to achieve this goal, a visualization system is required as a starting point with which to carry out this research. As a first step, this research aims […]

Ciena Corporation is a global supplier of telecommunications networking equipment, software and services. The company operates in a high product mix, low volume environment with short product cycle times. As a consequence, it has difficulty estimating product volumes and end-of-life inventory. The project will determine the best set of metrics during product lifecycle stages in […]

Video contents and applications become integrated in everyday life and demands for high-quality videos, such as 4K, are increasing. Even modern optical equipment introduces inevitable noises that may heavily mask video content. Environment conditions such as low light, results in more video quality degradation. Therefore, a video-enhancement technique is required to reconstruct the original non-noisy […]

Energy networks are often very complex which results in highly unpredictable congestion patterns in the physical constraints of the network. Most efforts to model congestion in energy networks are made on toy problems. Here, the objective is to model and predict congestion in a real physical energy network using automated machine learning systems, in particular […]

Deep neural networks (DNNs) for automatic speech recognition (ASR) require large amounts of labelled data, which can be difficult and expensive to collect. However, recent research has shown that some features learned by DNNs are highly transferable to other tasks and datasets. Here we propose to design a multi-lingual training procedure to leverage large amounts […]

ARA Robotique is a company specialized in the development of a state-of-art flight controller for light multirotor UAV. One of the critical subsystems of a flight controller is its navigation system which measures the position and the orientation of the vehicle which is then used to ensure the flight stability and to operate the UAV. […]

Ericsson Ottawa develops cellular base stations that are components of cellular networks marketed by Ericsson. The base stations serve as the interfaces between mobile devices (cell phones) to wired networks and the internet. These network products require high reliability and availability, which results in the need to perform extensive testing on expensive hardware, replicating complex […]

RightsEnforcer is a software system for Persistent Document Security, deployed and proven in the real world as a Windows-only client-server system. ‘Persistent’ information security controls access to the protected document, everywhere, always, and is therefore uniquely suited to be a dominant information security technology in ‘the Cloud’. But to thrive in the Cloud the RightsEnforcer […]

Interface designs based on initial consultations with one group of users are often found to not be suitable for other groups. This a problem both in practice and for our understanding of interface design. This project investigates why this happens, using as an example a system developed for INETCO Systems. The immediate objectives include understanding […]

Public security organizations have deployed video surveillance at many security checkpoints, at e.g., airport inspection lanes and border crossings. Face4 Systems provides solutions for watchlist screening based on state-of-the-art commercial technologies. Although automated still-to-video FR is a valuable function in video surveillance, screening for threatening individuals is largely limited to the FR abilities of a […]
