Probabilistic Robust Design For Dynamic Systems Using Metamodelling
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-13)Designers use simulations to observe the behaviour of a system and to make design decisions to improve dynamic performance. However, for complex dynamic systems, these simulations are often time-consuming and, for robust ... -
Progress towards Automated Human Factors Evaluation
(Elsevier, 2015-10-23)Human factors tests are important components of systems design. Designers need to evaluate users’ performance and workload while using a system and compare different design options to determine the optimal design choice. ... -
Projector Compensation for Unconventional Projection Surface
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-19)Projecting onto irregular textured surfaces found on buildings, automobiles and theatre stages calls for the development of radiometric and geometric compensation algorithms that require no user intervention and compensate ... -
Projector Self-Calibration using the Dual Absolute Quadric
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-27)The applications for projectors have increased dramatically since their origins in cinema. These include augmented reality, information displays, 3D scanning, and even archiving and surgical intervention. One common ... -
Projector-Camera System Calibration and Non-planar Scene Estimation
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-31)A projection mapping display system creates impressive 3D displays with light by mapping a 2D image from a calibrated projector onto a display surface. Projection mapping systems require that geometric information must ... -

Provocations from #vanlife: Investigating Life and Work in a Community Extensively Using Technology Not Designed for Them
(ACM, 2021-05)Research on how lived experiences with technology intersect with home and work are core themes within HCI. Prior work has primarily focused on conventional life and work in Western countries. However, the unconventional ... -
Pseudo-online Detection and Classification for Upper-limb Movements from Scalp Electroencephalogram
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-22)Stroke has been a significant healthcare issue worldwide, leading to motor impairment and complicated rehabilitation procedures, which often last for years after lesion. In recent years, brain-computer interface (BCI) ... -
Quantifying the Frequency and Orientation of Mitoses in Embryonic Epithelia
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-18)The miraculous birth of a new life starts by the formation of an embryo. The process by which an embryo is formed, embryogenesis, has been studied and shown to consist of three types of processes: mitosis, cell differentiation ... -
Quantifying the Performance of Explainability Algorithms
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-26)Given the complexity of the deep neural network (DNN), DNN has long been criticized for its lack of interpretability in its decision-making process. This 'black box' nature has been preventing the adaption of DNN in ... -
Radiometric Compensation of Nonlinear Projector Camera Systems by Modeling Human Visual Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-21)Radiometric compensation is the process of adjusting the luminance and colour output of images on a display to compensate for non-uniformity of the display. In the case of projector-camera systems, this non-uniformity can ... -
