+ | **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. | ||

+ | **Required Background**: | ||

+ | 3101 -- Design and Analysis of Algorithms, | ||
+ | 4302 -- Compilers and Interpreters. | ||

+ | **Description**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The components are various Unix executables and LISP programs that need to interact in complex ways. The components may be residing in different servers in different universities. Currently integration is performed manually, at the expense of usability. Thus, we aim at constructing a module that: (a) integrates involved components to deliver output in one call, (b) exports a unique web interface (preferably following WSDL/SOAP) to be easily accessed by custom front-end | ||
+ | |||
+ | Learning objectives: | ||
+ | * Understand the technologies and process involved in turning native code into a web-service (" | ||
+ | * Study a state-of-the-art AI planner and understand its workings. | ||
+ | * Exercise scripting skills. | ||

+ | ====== Predicting Angular Error in Rigid Registration ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Supervisor**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Description**: | ||
+ | navigation. Several (seemingly) different approaches for predicting | ||
+ | distance errors in registration are known, but for some surgical | ||
+ | procedures, the angular error in registration is more important. | ||
+ | This project will validate an approach for predicting angular | ||
+ | error in registration; | ||
+ | simulated and actual registration data for testing purposes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Calibration of a Tracked Pointer ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Supervisor**: | ||
- | **Description** | + | **Description**: Tracked pointers are the most common tools used in surgical |
+ | navigation systems. A typical pointer | ||
+ | end and a sharp or ball tip on the other end. Finding the location | ||
+ | of the tip relative to the target is a calibration problem. One | ||
+ | solution to the calibration problem involves pivoting the pointer | ||
+ | about the tip while tracking the target; if the tip is kept | ||
+ | stationary, then the target moves on the surface | ||
+ | Fitting the tracking data to the surface | ||
+ | location of the tip as the sphere center. Unfortunately, the | ||
+ | calibrated tip position obtained using such a spherical calibration | ||
+ | has high variance. This project will investigate how much variance | ||
+ | there is in the calibrated tip position, and methods for reducing | ||
+ | the variance | ||
- | Specific tasks include: 1. Writing temperature acquisition card (OMEGA Engineering CIO-DAS-Temp) drivers for LabView - should be written in Visual C++ or similar and compiled into SubVI format. 2. Write LabView VI's (“Virtual Instrument”) to perform (a) Test set-up activities - checkout of sensor and lamps, assigning neumonics to temperature sensors, setting of alarm conditions for sensors and lamps (b) Acquire and monitor temperature data and control lamp voltage during test, raise operator alarms for temperature or IR lamp anomalous conditions as required © Store temperature and control data for subsequent analysis and reporting. 3. (Optional) Interface the Test Manager with an orbital simulation tool which would be used to compute IR lamp inputs based on a simulation of the nanosatellite' | ||
