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.

Agreement:

Digital 3D LiDAR mapping of company assets using AI

Agreement Number:

1028481

Duration: from Feb 16, 2025 to Mar 31, 2025
Description:

The primary objective of this project is to develop a prototype solution that automatically aligns point clouds by identifying and matching control points. This will improve point cloud registration by optimizing the navigation trajectory, ensuring greater precision and consistency in data integration. This will result in increased accuracy/efficiency of point cloud registration, minimizing manual intervention and optimizing downstream workflows.

Expected Benefits

Improved Accuracy: Reduction in misalignment errors through automated processes.
Enhanced Efficiency: Decrease in manual effort and processing time.
Scalability: Ability to extend the solution for large-scale datasets.
Cost Reduction: Reduce labour costs
