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

Agreement Number:

980326

Duration: from Nov 1, 2021 to Aug 31, 2022
Description:

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.
