3D Ground Truth Generation Using Pre-Trained Deep Neural Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-24)Training 3D object detectors on publicly available data has been limited to small datasets due to the large amount of effort required to generate annotations. The difficulty of labeling in 3D using 2.5D sensors, such as ... -
3D MEMS Microassembly
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-03)Due to the potential uses and advantages of 3D microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), research has been ongoing to advance the field. The intention of my reasearch is to explore different gripper designs and their ... -
3D Mesh and Pose Recovery of a Foot from Single Image
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-18)The pandemic and the major shift to online shopping has highlighted the current difficulties in getting proper sizing for clothing and shoes. Being able to accurately measure shoes using readily available smartphones would ... -
3D Motion Planning using Kinodynamically Feasible Motion Primitives in Unknown Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-01)Autonomous vehicles are a great asset to society by helping perform many dangerous or tedious tasks. They have already been successfully employed for many practical applications, such as search and rescue, automated ... -
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 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.
