Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Satellite Video Analytics Toolkit
980326
In this project, the firm will extend capabilities of detection, tracking and identification from maritime environment to the land area. Land application poses challenge on detection of small and potentially faster moving objects. The firm proposes a motion-based approach for detection of land vehicles from satellite videos and a context-based detection method for land where every region of the land is semantically segmented to identify the land use patterns. The firm proposes to create a database of well annotated data points that can be used to correct the detection and classification performance based on uncertainty measure.

Enabling MASS situational awareness through autonomous monitoring of the St-Lawrence Seaway using trusted crowdsourced bathymetry
of the St-Lawrence Seaway Using Trusted Crowdsourced Bathymetry
980445
CIDCO will leverage the concept of crowdsourcing bathymetric data collection through opportunity commercial vessells by fitting large ships with bathymetric dataloggers, and installing data transfer stations at strategic locations. This will allow raw data to be automatically harvested from the ships and sent to a data processing cloud backend that will transform the raw crowdsourced bathymetric (CSB) data into quality products suitable for active monitoring of the St-Lawrence Seaway and possible integration into the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) data products and services while respecting the required quality assurance and control standards provided by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO).
