The 38th Parallel: Penetrating the Line
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-20)In July 1953, the armistice ended the Korean War that lasted for three years and established the Demilitarized Zone on either side of the demarcation line as a buffer between the two countries to prevent further military ... -
A 39GHz Balanced Power Amplifier with Enhanced Linearity in 45 nm SOI CMOS
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-20)With the high data rate communication systems that come with fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks, the shift of operation to millimeter-wave frequency becomes inevitable. The expected data rate in 5G is significantly ... -
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 ... -
