Computer Science
The Department of Computer
Science is located at The Centre for Computing and Engineering - 245
Church Street. Moriyama & Teshima designed the new Centre for Computing
and Engineering on the urban campus of Ryerson University in the heart
of downtown Toronto, Canada. The building features a sculptural treatment
of the Church Street facade that dramatically changes throughout the
day as the sun and ambient light varies. At times reflective and at
time transparent, the building is a distinctive symbol of Ryerson.
The facility brings together a number of departments including Aerospace,
Civil Engineering, Computing Science and Electrical and Computing Engineering.
Design started in February 2002 and the facility opened to students
in the fall term of 2004.

Computer Science PhD student, Jimmy Tran is awarded $54,000 for the Ontario Scientist and Engineers in Business (SEB) Commercialization Fellowship
Fri, 10 May 2013
Jimmy Tran, a second year Computer Science PhD student is the recipient of the Ontario Scientist and Engineers in Business (SEB) Commercialization Fellowship. The fellowship provides the entrepreneur with $54,000 in funding to develop prototype products, source first customers, and pay salaries. Jimmy has created a start-up company, Disaster And Related Emergencies (DARE) Technologies to develop the patented Canine Remote Deployment System (CRDS) into a commercial product. The CRDS is intended to be used in Urban Search and Rescue operations. The system allows search dogs to deliver emergency supplies and surveillance equipment to help trapped victims in collapsed structures. The CRDS was originally developed by Dr. Alexander Ferworn and the Network-Centric Applied Research Team in partner with the Ontario Provincial Police.

"3D ILLS: Can Signal Processing Help?"
Janusz Konrad
ECE Department
Boston University

The unprecedented proliferation of 3D hardware in consumer market and the
involvement of Hollywood in 3D content production are two bright spots in
the recent 3D wave. However, such waves in the past have come and gone. Is
the current wave any different? 3D quality has improved, 3D hardware has
entered homes and 3D content is better than ever, and yet obstacles
remain.
In this talk, I will focus on two obstacles that, if not overcome, can
threaten to derail 3D in the near future. First, I will focus on the "holy
grail" of 3D visualization - automultiscopic displays that require no
glasses. Such displays support motion parallax by means of spatial view
multiplexing that involves sub-sampling and therefore requires anti-alias
pre-filtering. However, since the sub-sampling is irregular the design of
suitable pre-filters is non-trivial. I will present our approach based on
lattice theory and will show some experimental results. The second
obstacle
I will tackle is 3D content that, despite current efforts by Hollywood,
lags behind hardware. An alternative to waiting for Hollywood is to
convert
2D movies to 3D. While human-supervised conversion is time-consuming and
costly, the current fully-automatic methods are inferior in terms of
conversion quality. I will describe a radically different approach to
2D-to-3D conversion that leverages on-line 3D content for learning depth
of
2D images and will show examples. While signal processing can push some of
the boundaries of flat-screen 3D, will this be enough to sustain the 3D
wave? The concluding remarks may surprise you.

Computer Science Visited by Dr. Moridi, M.P.P.
Wed, 04 Feb 2009
On Wednesday February 4th, Dr. Reza Moridi (MPP, Richmond Hill) the Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities visited Ryerson's Department of Computer Science and gave a seminar to the students of our highly successful Masters program concerning the future of post-graduate education in Ontario. He also provided many fascinating and informative anecdotes from his life and career.
During his, visit, he had the opportunity to speak with many of our graduate students who told him of their experiences within our program and their desire to continue their studies in a suitable doctoral program. Dr. Moridi reiterated the Liberal government"s support for expanding graduate education within Ontario and was very interested in our strategy for launching a doctoral program in Computer Science in support of Ryerson"s graduate program expansion.
