+====Tangible Interface for Speech Banking====
+Supervisor: Professor M. Baljko
+Required Background: CSE3461
+Recommended Background: Micro controller (Arduino) programming or a willingness and aptitude to learn
+Description: Voice banking involves the gathering of speech samples from an individual's speech to form an acoustic model that is subsequently used in a speech synthesis module.  This allows for the synthesis of speech that resembles the individual's speech (for example, once the individual loses his or her voice due to the progression of disease). Current systems require the user to spend hours sitting in front of the computer, recording samples of prompted speech. In this project, a wireless tangible interface will be designed to work with existing voice banking software. The interface will be placed in the individual's everyday environment and will unobtrusively prompt, elicit and gather speech samples.

 ==== Three-Dimensional Context from Linear Perspective for Video Surveillance Systems ====
-Supervisor: James Elder
+Supervisor: Prof. James Elder
 Requirements: Good facility with applied mathematics

 Description: An alpha version of the control system for a fleet of autonomous watercraft has been built using ROS (Robot Operating System) nodes. Based on field trials of the vehicles we are now at the point to build a final version of the software and to conduct extensive tests of a group of the vehicles operating in a group. This project will involve modifying the existing code, validating the system, and then testing the vehicles in both Tait Pool and Stong Pond.
