Bayesian Deep Learning and Uncertainty in Computer Vision
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-17)
Visual data contains rich information about the operating environment of an intelligent robotic system. Extracting this information allows intelligent systems to reason and decide their future actions. Erroneous visual ...
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 ...
RAMP: RDMA Migration Platform
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-16)
Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) can be used to implement a shared storage abstraction or a shared-nothing abstraction for distributed applications. We argue that the shared storage abstraction is overkill for loosely ...
An Implementation of a Predictable Cache-coherent Multi-core System
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-21)
Multi-core platforms have entered the realm of the embedded systems to meet the ever growing performance requirements of the real-time embedded applications. Real-time applications leverage the hardware parallelism from ...
Sufficient Communities through Integrated Energy Systems: Increased Food Security in Newfoundland and Decreased Dependencies through Import- Replacement
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-18)
While perceived as equal to other provinces, Newfoundland is Canada’s version of a third world province with the illusion of equality. To use Jane Jacob’s term, Newfoundland has a backwards economy, an economy which does ...
A Systems Approach to Examining Co-operative Education: A Case Study
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-28)
Co-operative education (co-op) is a model of learning where students alternate between academic and work terms. Co-op offers potential benefits for three key stakeholder groups: students, employers and academic institutions. ...
Sex, Dementia, and Consent
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-01)
Sex and dementia is becoming an increasingly important topic in applied ethics. By the year 2030, more than 74.7 million people are expected to be diagnosed with dementia worldwide; many of these people may want to engage ...
Empirical Essays in Water and Electricity Use
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-30)
This thesis consists of three self-contained essays evaluating the impacts of educational attainment and average income at the community level on water consumption, the effects of different sources of energy on wholesale ...
Evaluating Conceptual Numerical Models of Boreal Plains Hydrology
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-19)
The Boreal Plains (BPs) ecoregion spans the northern potions of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba and is an area of high ecological sensitivity. With large industrial developments in the region, including the Athabasca ...
