- | 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 | ||

- | __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 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. | ||

- | 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 for it fall into two classes: string matching algorithms and signal processing techniques. In this project, we will explore fast, accurate algorithms | + | **Required Background:** General CSE408x prerequisites |
