3D Online Multi-Object Tracking for Autonomous Driving
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-29)This research work focuses on exploring a novel 3D multi-object tracking architecture: 'FANTrack: 3D Multi-Object Tracking with Feature Association Network' for autonomous driving, based on tracking by detection and online ... -
3D optical metrology by digital moiré: Pixel-wise calibration refinement, grid removal, and temporal phase unwrapping
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-24)Fast, accurate three dimensional (3D) optical metrology has diverse applications in object and environment modelling. Structured-lighting techniques allow non-contacting 3D surface-shape measurement by projecting patterns ... -
3D Pointing with Everyday Devices: Speed, Occlusion, Fatigue
(University of Waterloo, 2015-07-24)In recent years, display technology has evolved to the point where displays can be both non-stereoscopic and stereoscopic, and 3D environments can be rendered realistically on many types of displays. From movie theatres ... -
3D printing of soft hydrogels incorporating functional nanomaterials
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-10)Tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds are required to closely mimic the human body environment to enable the study of cell behavior in vitro and allow the fabrication of artificial tissue constructs. The scaffolds should possess ... -
3D Reconstruction of 138 KV Power-lines from Airborne LiDAR Data
(University of Waterloo, 2014-02-20)Due to infrequent and imprecise maintenance inspection in power-line corridors, accidents can be caused by interferences, for instance, surrounding trees. Transmission power-line inspection conventionally relies on the ... -
3D representation and CNC machining of 2D digital images
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)In this paper a new paradigm for CNC carving of digital images in the form of lookalike three-dimensional (3D) surfaces on wooden or metallic plaques is discussed. This work is focused on development of a single page windows ... -
3D Shape Reconstruction of Knee Bones from Low Radiation X-ray Images Using Deep Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-02)Understanding the bone kinematics of the human knee during dynamic motions is necessary to evaluate the pathological conditions, design knee prosthesis, orthosis and surgical treatments such as knee arthroplasty. Also, ... -
3D Silicone Whipping Additive Manufacturing (SWAM): Technology, Applications, and Research Needs.
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-20)Additive manufacturing has become increasingly popular and is developing in many technologies. This thesis focusses on the additive manufacturing with paste technology, more specifically the goal is to further develop a ... -
400 kHz Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography for Corneal Imaging
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-23)The cornea is the transparent, outermost layer of the human eye that contributes approximately 70% of the refractive power of the eye in air. It is composed of five major tissue layers: the epithelium, the Bowman’s membrane, ... -
4150 Cousins: What 7 DNA Ancestry Tests Can Tell You About Your Kin
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-12)This thesis presents the results of seven commercialized DNA ancestry tests that are all available to the public, for under $400 Canadian dollars each. This research is conducted to explore the use of commercialized DNA ... -
45-nm SOI CMOS Bluetooth Electrochemical Sensor for Continuous Glucose Monitoring
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-21)Due to increasing rates of diabetes, non-invasive glucose monitoring systems will become critical to improving health outcomes for an increasing patient population. Bluetooth integration for such a system has been previously ... -
4D induced matter from non-compact 5D Kaluza-Klein gravity

A 4d Lorentzian Spin Foam Model With Timelike Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-07)We construct a 4d Lorentzian spin foam model capable of describing both spacelike and timelike surfaces. To do so we use a coherent state approach inspired by the Riemannian FK model. Using the coherent state method we ... -
5-Choosability of Planar-plus-two-edge Graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-02)We prove that graphs that can be made planar by deleting two edges are 5-choosable. To arrive at this, first we prove an extension of a theorem of Thomassen. Second, we prove an extension of a theorem Postle and Thomas. ... -
5-HT7 Receptor Neuroprotection against Excitotoxicity in the Hippocampus
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-11)Introduction and Objectives: The PDGFβ receptor and its ligand, PDGF-BB, are expressed throughout the central nervous system (CNS), including the hippocampas. Several reports confirm that PDGFβ receptors are neuroprotective ... -
50:50—Sovereignty, Price, Density, Efficiency: Housing-led Economic Urban Expansion in Hong Kong.
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-16)Hong Kong is an ideal laboratory in which to study relationships between economy and architecture. In this city, tremendous power is held by both the state and in private capital. Urban form may be read as a tangible ... -
53 North: Tactical Infrastructure in Edmonton
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-15)Edmonton, Alberta is the northernmost major city in North America, but inappropriate urban form has created a winter culture of avoidance. Long, straight city streets and a proliferation of voids within the downtown urban ... -
