+ | **Desirable Background**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | A traditional data structure is designed so that one operation can be performed on it at a time. This is no longer sufficient for the multicore architectures that have become prevalent in the past few years. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The goal of this project is to implement concurrent data structures in C so that | ||
+ | performance testing can be carried out on them. In particular, we would like to make use of Intel' | ||

+ | Contrary to most industries, fine chemical manufacturing is dominated by batch production methods. Increasing economic, environmental and safety pressures are motivating a turn towards continuous synthesis. Rather than making products in one big flask, continuous synthesis involves performing chemical reactions by flowing reagents through a tube. Working in this way provides more control over the reaction parameters leading to increases in product quality, and process efficiency and safety. The flow chemistry industry for fine chemical production is a relatively new but burgeoning field with a projected market capacity of billions of dollars by 2018. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Extraction of the reaction mixture for purification and/or further processing is an important step in chemical manufacturing. This is a relatively straightforward operation in batch production, but offers several challenges for flowing processes. In order to facilitate continuous liquid extraction we require a sophisticated control system. This project involves designing, constructing and evaluating a pertinent practical problem in the field. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A key step in the process takes place in a clear tube that is mounted vertically. The tube contains two fluids with a boundary between them. During the process material flows into and out of the tube from the top and the bottom. Chemical reactions take place within this tube and It is essential that the position of the boundary be monitored as its position | ||
+ | |||
+ | One way of solving this problem is to float a marker at the boundary between the two liquids and to monitor this boundary using a video camera. Although this approach solves the problem, it requires the introduction of a specific float within the tube. Can we build a system that monitors the boundary without resorting to the use of an artificial float? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Specific goals of the project include: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Develop a computer vision system that can detect and monitor the interface between two miscible fluids of different density. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Evaluate the performance of the system over a range of different (and typical) fluids | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Explore the use of different illuminant/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The successful candidate(s) will have the experience of working with a diverse group of scientists and engineers toward the design and implementation of an automated liquid extraction device with applications across many industries. Upon successful prototyping, | ||

+ | ====== Attentive Sensing for Better Two-Way Communication in Remote Learning Environments ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Supervisor**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Required Background**: | ||
+ | good math skills, knowledge of C and MATLAB programming languages | ||
+ | |||
+ | One of the challenges in remote learning is to allow students to communicate effectively with the lecturer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The goal of this project is to apply attentive sensing technology (www.elderlab.yorku.ca) to this problem. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In particular, working with a senior graduate student or postdoctoral fellow, the successful applicant will: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Study the problem of detecting hand-raises in the preattentive sensor stream | ||
+ | - Implement algorithms for detecting hand-raises based upon this investigation | ||
+ | - Evaluate these algorithms in a real-classroom setting, using proprietary attentive sensing technology | ||

+ | ====== Attentive Sensing for Sport Video Recording Markets ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Supervisor**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Required Background**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The goal of this project is to modify York University’s patented attentive sensor technology to the sport video recording market. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The general problem is to use attentive sensing technology (www.elderlab.yorku.ca) to visually detect and track multiple moving agents (e.g., skiers, riders, horses) and to select specific agents for active high-resolution smooth pursuit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The student will work with senior graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and research scientists to help modify the attentive sensing technology to operate in these domains. | ||
