 With the availability of highway camera networks, such as the COMPASS system operated by the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO), there is opportunity to use continuous video data to monitor highway traffic.  Video can be analyzed by human experts but this is costly and cannot be done thoroughly on a continuous basis. The goal of the proposed project is to research and develop a fully-automated traffic analysis software, demonstrated and evaluated on MTO's COMPASS system of highway cameras. With the availability of highway camera networks, such as the COMPASS system operated by the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO), there is opportunity to use continuous video data to monitor highway traffic.  Video can be analyzed by human experts but this is costly and cannot be done thoroughly on a continuous basis.

Line 116: Line 112:
  
 This project implements and evaluates a new method for 3D Rotation where the user uses both a 2D and 3D user interface to complete the task. The fundamental idea is to use the 3D interface for large-scale manipulation, but the 2D interface for precise adjustments. The project will use a Leap Motion or similar technology for 3D tracking. This project implements and evaluates a new method for 3D Rotation where the user uses both a 2D and 3D user interface to complete the task.

 ====== Leveraging binary instrumentation to support monitoring and debugging of large scale software system in the field====== ====== Leveraging binary instrumentation to support monitoring and debugging of large scale software system in the field======
Line 145: Line 141:
  
 **Short Description:** Many large scale software systems ranging from e-commerce websites (e.g., eBay) to telecommunication infrastructures (e.g., AT&T) are required to be available and ready to service by millions of users all the time. It is essential to monitor the behavior of these systems in the field and troubleshoot problems whenever they arise. On one hand, many existing monitoring tools (e.g., PerfMon and pidstat) mainly focus on the high level resource usage data (e.g., CPU and memory). On other hand, although profilers (e.g., JProfiler and DTrace) can provide detailed information on the internal system behavior, it is not feasible to run them with the field systems due to their high overhead. Binary instrumentation is a program analysis technique, which can add additional monitoring points without modifying or restarting the system. This project aims to explore the feasibility of leveraging binary instrumentation to automatically monitor and debug the behavior of these field systems. The student(s) will first evaluate the pros and cons on various binary instrumentation libraries (e.g., ASM and PIN). Then he/she will implement a monitoring/debugging framework using the selected instrumentation library. **Short Description:** Many large scale software systems ranging from e-commerce websites (e.g., eBay) to telecommunication infrastructures (e.g., AT&T) are required to be available and ready to service by millions of users all the time.

 **Description:** The Intel Perceptual Computing SDK includes support for head tracking and facial analysis. The project will use the Creative Interactive Gesture Camera, a depth camera designed to work with the SDK. Based on these technologies, the project implements an eye tracking system that detects the horizontal eye position and consequently, if the user is looking at the left, center, or right portion of the screen. Based on this, the project will implement a simple media browsing browsing system, e.g., for TV channels, music, or videos. **Description:** The Intel Perceptual Computing SDK includes support for head tracking and facial analysis.

Line 214: Line 200:
  
 **Description:** Real-time bidding (RTB) is a new method of selling and buying online display advertising in real-time one ad impression at a time. Once a bid request has been sent out, all bids must be received within a strict deadline - generally under 100 milliseconds, including network latency. This project explores RTBkit, an open source SDK allowing developers to create customized real time ad bidding systems (for Media Buyers/Bidders). **Description:** Real-time bidding (RTB) is a new method of selling and buying online display advertising in real-time one ad impression at a time.
