Velocity analysis can be a time-consuming task when it is performed manually. Methods have been proposed to automate the process of velocity analysis, which, however, typically requires significant manual effort. We propose using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to estimate stacking...

Determining the viewpoint (pose) of rigid objects in images is a classic vision problem with applications to robotic grasping, autonomous navigation, augmented reality, semantic SLAM and scene understanding in general. While most existing work is characterized by phrases such as "coarse pose...

Object detection is an image processing technology to detection different classes of objects using computer vision, i.e. putting bounding boxes over objects from a camera video feed. A landmark detection method was the Viola-Jones Algorithm introduced in 2001. The object classifier in this...

Extending Differentiable Programming to include Non-differentiable Modules using Differentiable Bypass for Combining Convolutional Neural Networks and Dynamic Programming into an End-to-end Trainable Framework
DownloadSpring 2019
Differentiable Programming is the paradigm where different functions or modules are combined into a unified pipeline with the purpose of applying end-to-end learning or optimization. A natural impediment is the non-differentiability characteristic of many modules. This thesis proposes a new way...

Oil and gas projects are known for their size and complexity and incorporate multiple disciplines such as concrete, steel, and piping. Each discipline is executed within a confined area during a limited timeframe. The execution of each discipline requires careful planning and coordination between...

Machine Learning for Robust Tracking of Interface Level Inside a Primary Separation Vessel in the Presence of Occlusions and Noise
DownloadSpring 2021
A Primary Separation Vessel (PSV), used in the oil sands industry, is an important process equipment, where Bitumen is separated from the oil sand using a density based separation process. The interface level between a bitumen rich layer (froth) and a layer that has moderate amounts of bitumen in...

External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) utilizes high energy radiation (primarily photons or electrons) generated from a linear accelerator (linac) for the treatment of cancer. Current linac technologies lack the ability to continuously monitor the tumour and surround area during treatment. Real-time...
