+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||

+ | Java PathFinder (JPF) is a tool that can detect bugs in Java code. | ||
+ | The Java library Apache log4j allows developers to control which log | ||

+ | to detect bugs in log4j by means of JPF with very limited succes. | ||
- | **Recommended Background**: | + | Recently, in collaboration with Shafiei (NASA) we have developed |
+ | an extension of JPF called jpf-nhandler. | ||
+ | is to apply this extension to log4j. | ||

- | **Description** The YUsend (York University Space Engineering Nanosatellite Demonstration) Lab has procured a Windows XP-based industrial computer and temperature acquisition card (as well as other hardware) for performing TVAC testing of nanosatellites in the CSIL Lab (PSE 003). A “TVAC Test Manager” application written using LabView' | ||
- | 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' | ||
