+ | 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. | ||

- | __Description__ | + | **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 | + | Model-based design with code generation tools can be used for simulation, rapid prototyping, and hardware-in-the-loop testing |
- | 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. | + | \\ |
