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.

Quantification of carbon sequestration with hyperspectral imagery
1007436
The project aims to (a) develop a method to systemically quantify the carbon levels present at ground-elevation using hyperspectral imagery and AI as well as to (b) create an environmental model deriving the amount of carbon sequestered (or emitted) at any location.

Quantification of carbon sequestration in Canadian agricultural lands using satellite hyperspectral imagery
22A02-MLVX
The project aims to build a method to systemically and methodically quantify the Carbon dioxide (CO2) level present at ground-elevation using hyperspectral data. Hyperspectral data captures the entire spectrum per pixel, providing a vast amount of information. By combining CO2 data captured at ground-elevation as the ground-truth labels, a Machine Learning model will be developed that is able to take satellite hyperspectral data as its input, and predict its underlying CO2 level. This project aims to provide the information required for the governments and private entities such as farmers to track their carbon footprint, and capture the associated economic benefits.

Low Power, high-throughput hyperspectral image compression
954069
Compression.ai is building the first solution to compress hyperspectral imagery in real-time. Processing over 3 Gbps and consuming under 1W of power, it is ripe for mission-critical applications in the defence and space sectors.
