+ | |||
+ | **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 | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||

+ | ====== Hunting for Bugs in Logging: applying JPF to log4j ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Supervisor: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Description: | ||
+ | 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. | ||

+ | |||
+ | **Required Background: | ||
+ | |||
+ | This project implements and evaluates a new method for 3D Rotation where the user uses both a 2D and 3D user interface to complete the task. The fundamental idea is to use the 3D interface for large-scale manipulation, | ||

+ | **Required Background: | ||
+ | |||
+ | This project implements and tests various 3D Navigation and 3D Interaction methods in an immersive virtual reality system. The target is to enable the user to roam freely in a large environment while still being able to interact with the environment. The implementation will be based on Unity 4. | ||

- | **Required Background**: | ||
- | |||
- | **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' | ||
