+ | |||
+ | 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 | ||

- | An opportunity exists for a small number of students to build an autonomous motorboat using a RC motorboat as a base and integrating computation and control in the form of a Beagleboard. Students will participate in lectures and labs associated with CSE6324 (Part I). Interested students should attend the first lecture of CSE6324. See the departmental schedule for time and place. | ||

- | The Athenians Project is a multi-year, ongoing project of compiling, computerizing and studying data about the persons of ancient Athens. | ||
- | Possible project ideas for this term span from simpler ones such as | ||
- | how to present data in the best possible way, add spatial characteristics to existing data, | ||
- | add multimedia data, improve text searching, etc. to more complex ideas such as filling | ||
- | missing parts for the " | ||

- | __Description__ | ||
- | |||
- | To provide visual surveillance over a large environment, | ||
- | |||
- | This problem can be addressed by automatically pre-mapping two-dimensional surveillance video data into three-dimensional coordinates. | ||
- | |||
- | Mapping surveillance video to three-dimensional coordinates requires construction of a virtual model of the three-dimensional scene. | ||
- | |||
- | This project will investigate a monocular method for inferring three-dimensional context for video surveillance. | ||
- | |||
- | Although the Manhattan world assumption provides powerful constraints, | ||
- | |||
- | The student will work closely with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at York University, as well as researchers at other institutions involved in the project. | ||

- | |||
- | **Requirements**: | ||
- | |||
- | __Description__ | ||
- | |||
- | Facilities planning at both city (e.g., Toronto) and institutional (e.g., York University) scales requires accurate data on the flow of people and vehicles throughout the environment. | ||
- | |||
- | The density of permanent urban video surveillance camera installations has increased dramatically over the last several years. | ||
- | |||
- | This project will explore the use of computer vision algorithms for the automatic estimation of pedestrian and vehicle flows from video surveillance data. The ultimate goal is to provide planners with accurate, continuous, up-to-date information on facility usage to help guide planning. | ||
- | |||
- | The student will work closely with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at York University, as well as researchers at other institutions involved in the project. | ||

- | __Description__ | + | |
- | DNA sequences of organisms have many repeated substrings. These are called repeats in Biology, and include both exact as well as approximate repeats. Repeats are of two main types: interspersed repeats (which are spread across a genome) and tandem repeats, which occur next to each other. Tandem repeats play important roles in gene regulation and are also used as markers that have several important uses, including human identity testing. | + | |
- | Finding tandem repeats is an important problem in Computational Biology. The techniques that have been proposed | + | \\ |

- | The student will implement existing spectral algorithms based on Fourier Transforms and on an autoregressive model. He will then make changes suggested by the supervisor, and evaluate the effect of the modifications. Throughout the course, the student is required to maintain a course Web site to report any progress and details about the project. | + | **Supervisor: |

+ | Java PathFinder (JPF) is a tool that can detect bugs in Java code. | ||
+ | The Java library Apache log4j allows developers to control which log | ||
+ | statements are output. | ||
+ | to detect bugs in log4j by means of JPF with very limited succes. | ||
+ | Recently, in collaboration with Shafiei (NASA) we have developed | ||
+ | an extension of JPF called jpf-nhandler. | ||
+ | is to apply this extension to log4j. | ||
