Water pricing conflict in British Columbia
(Japan Society of Hydrology and Water Resources, 2017)The Water Sustainability Act in British Columbia, Canada is a source of conflict among citizens, the provincial government, and industrial groundwater users. The water extraction fees stipulated in the act highlight the ... -
Wavelet Shrinkage Based Image Denoising using Soft Computing
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-22)Noise reduction is an open problem and has received considerable attention in the literature for several decades. Over the last two decades, wavelet based methods have been applied to the problem of noise reduction and ... -
Waves: A Collaborative Navigation Technique for Large Interactive Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-21)Digital tables offer the possibility of performing collaborative tasks where two or more people can share artifacts in the same virtual space. However, most interactive methods of navigating through virtual space most ... -
Weakly Supervised Learning Algorithms and an Application to Electromyography
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-23)In the standard machine learning framework, training data is assumed to be fully supervised. However, collecting fully labelled data is not always easy. Due to cost, time, effort or other types of constraints, requiring ... -
Web Tasking: An Investigation of End User Interaction for the Ideal Control Metaphor
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-02)Users are finding multiple ways to utilize web applications (apps) outside of their typical self-contained purposes, resulting in an increasing need to connect apps together. This connectivity can be achieved through web ... -
Weighted Opposition-Based Fuzzy Thresholding
(University of Waterloo, 2011-02-18)With the rapid growth of the digital imaging, image processing techniques are widely involved in many industrial and medical applications. Image thresholding plays an essential role in image processing and computer vision ... -
Widefield Computational Biophotonic Imaging for Spatiotemporal Cardiovascular Hemodynamic Monitoring
(University of Waterloo, 2017-07-14)Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality, resulting in 17.3 million deaths per year globally. Although cardiovascular disease accounts for approximately 30% of deaths in the United States, many deleterious ... -
Wrist and Finger Gesture Recognition with Single-element A-mode Ultrasound signal: A Comparison with Single-channel Surface Electromyogram
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-10-01)With the ability to detect volumetric changes of contracting muscles, ultrasound (US) was a potential technique in the field of human-machine interface (HMI). Compared to the US imaging (B-mode US), the signal from a static ... -
You’re Making Me Sick: A Systematic Review of How Virtual Reality Research Considers Gender & Cybersickness
(ACM, 2021-05-06)While multiple studies suggest that female-identified participants are more likely to experience cybersickness in virtual reality (VR), our systematic review of 71 eligible VR publications (59 studies and 12 surveys) ...
