  1. Monitoring Changes to Urban Environments 2nd Project Workshop June 13th, 2005 York University Toronto

  2. GEOIDE = Geomatics for Informed Decisions "Since 1998, GEOIDE has been a federal-funded Network of Centres of Excellence administrated by the business centre: GEOIDE inc. based at Laval University." "This ‘network of networks’ brings together the skills, technology and people from different communities of practice, in order to develop and consolidate the Canadian competences in geomatics." What is GEOIDE?

  3. Monitoring Changes to Urban Environments "This project will study visual detection and interpretation of changes to urban environments using continuous and non-continuous sensing from a multiplicity of diverse sensors using networks of wireless video cameras, augmented with high-resolution satellite imagery. It will also investigate the problem of how such information can be integrated and managed within a computer, leading to the development of a prototype information system for monitoring urban environments." What is our project?

  4. University Principal Investigators: David Clausi, Waterloo Geoffrey Edwards, Laval James Elder, York Frank Ferrie, McGill Jim Little, UBC Main Industry Partners CAE Genetec Aimetis Project Team

  5. April 2005 – March 2009 Timeframe

  6. 1. Establishment of urban test facilities involving networks of multi-sensor wireless cameras with associated satellite data and development of intercalibration software (Elder, Ferrie, Little) 2. Development of algorithms for fusing offline satellite data with streaming video from terrestrial sensors for the construction of more complete 3D urban models (Clausi). 3. Development of algorithms for inferring approximate intrinsic images from monocular video (ordinal depth maps, reflectance maps, …). (Elder, Ferrie, Little) 4. Development of algorithms for identifying and modeling typical dynamic events (e.g. pedestrian and automobile traffic, changes in climate, air quality, seasonal changes) and detecting unusual events. (Elder, Ferrie, Little) 5. Development of algorithms for deriving and updating navigational maps based upon derived models. (Edwards) 6. Development of integrated demonstration system. (Ferrie) Stated Objectives

  7. Disaster management (e.g., earthquakes) Traffic monitoring (e.g., automobile, trucking, pedestrian) Security (e.g., people tracking, activity and identity recognition) Urban planning (e.g., 3D dynamic scene visualization) Environmental monitoring (e.g., air quality) Possible Application Areas

  8. To bring together academic investigators with industry partners and other interested parties To identify and strengthen commercially relevant aspects of the proposed research. To establish a schedule of regular (e.g., annual, semi-annual) project meetings Goals of this workshop
