Detection and Prediction of Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease using Wearable Sensors and Machine Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-12)Freezing of gait (FOG), is a brief episodic absence of forward body progression despite the intention to walk. Appearing mostly in mid-late stage Parkinson’s disease (PD), freezing manifests as a sudden loss of lower-limb ... -
Detection of Driver Cognitive Distraction Using Machine Learning Methods
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-02)Autonomous vehicles seem to be closer than expected on their timeline. However, there is still a decade of driving manual as well as semi-autonomous vehicles before we can experience completely automated vehicles on the ... -
Detection of movement-related cortical potentials based on subject-independent training
(Springer Verlag, 2013-05-01)To allow a routinely use of brain-computer interfaces (BCI), there is a need to reduce or completely eliminate the time-consuming part of the individualized training of the user. In this study, we investigate the possibility ... -
Detection of Small Objects in UAV Images via an Improved Swin Transformer-based Model
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-23)Automated detection of small objects such as vehicles in images of complex urban environments taken by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is one of the most challenging tasks in computer vision and remote sensing communities, ... -
Determinants of Increased Energy Cost in Prosthetic Gait
(University of Waterloo, 2004)The physiological energy requirements of prosthetic gait in lower-limb amputees have been observed to be significantly greater than those for able-bodied subjects. However, existing models of energy flow in walking have ... -
Developing an Objective Definition of Simulation Fidelity for Enroute Air Traffic Control
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-28)The domain of enroute Air Traffic Control (ATC) relies heavily on simulation for a variety of purposes. However, little research has been conducted in this particular domain to determine the link between fidelity and how ... -
