Women in Engineering Ottawa – Hands on Workshop on 3D CAD for Beginners @ Room 2256, Mackenzie Building, Carleton Univeristy

Tickets

Oct 27 @ 18:00 – 20:00

The IEEE Women in Engineering (WiE) Ottawa chapter would like to invite students, professionals and any individual interested in expanding their skills to its workshop series. The WiE Ottawa workshop series goal is to provide a range of technical workshops with on demand topics including hands on sessions for the Ottawa community free of cost. Donâ€™t miss out on this great opportunity and initiative led by the IEEE WiE Ottawa Chapter.

The first workshop in the series will beÂ 3D CAD for Beginners – A Hands On Workshop. The objective of the workshop is to provide potential users with the basics of 3D CAD, software selection methods and a hands on tutorial by creating multiple 3D CAD parts.

The IEEE WiE Ottawa Chapter is pleased to offer this workshop in collaboration with:

– Carleton University Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (CU @ EMBS)

– Carleton University Women in Science and Engineering (CU WISE)

– IEEE WiE Carleton University Student Chapter

Free pizza and drinks will be provided!

Abstract
In the past decades, video surveillance systems have evolved from simple local digital video recorders to large scale cloud-based video monitoring solutions. The large amount of visual data captured by these visual systems calls for the design of more intelligent methods that can extract higher-level understanding of the observed scenes. If the pixel was the fundamental element that gave to computers the sense of sight, object detectors and classifiers are becoming the new fundamental bricks that will give computer the faculty to see and interpret the world. This talk discusses some of the challenges related to the development of the next generation of video surveillance systems.

Speakerâ€™s Bio
Robert Laganiere is a professor at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the University of Ottawa. He is also a Faculty member of the VIVA research lab and is the co-author of several scientific publications and patents in content-based video analysis, visual surveillance, driver-assistance, object detection and tracking. Robert authored the OpenCV2 Computer Vision Application Programming Cookbook in 2011 and co-authored Object Oriented Software Development published by McGraw Hill in 2001. He co-founded Visual Cortek in 2006, an Ottawa-based video analytics startup that was later acquired by iWatchLife.com in 2009. He is also a consultant in computer vision and has assumed the role of Chief Scientist in a number of startups companies such as Cognivue Corp, iWatchlife and Tempo Analytics. Robert has a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering degree from Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal (1987) and M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from INRS-Telecommunications, Montreal (1996).
