+ | 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. | ||

- | **Supervisor**: | + | ======Real-Time Bidding Platform====== |
- | **Description**: Tracked pointers are the most common tools used in surgical | + | **Supervisor:** Jia Xu |
- | navigation systems. A typical pointer has a tracked target on one | + | |
- | 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 of a sphere. | + | |
- | Fitting the tracking data to the surface of a sphere yields the | + | |
- | location of the tip as the sphere center. Unfortunately, | + | |
- | 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 | + | |
