Robust South African sign language gesture recognition using hand motion and shape
(2014)
Research has shown that five fundamental parameters are required to recognize any sign language gesture: hand shape, hand motion, hand location, hand orientation and facial expressions. The South African Sign Language ...
The efficacy of the Eigenvector approach to South African sign language identification
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The communication barriers between deaf and hearing society mean that interaction between these communities is kept to a minimum. The South African Sign Language research group, Integration of Signed and Verbal Communication: ...
Ellection markup language (EML) based tele-voting system
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Elections are one of the most fundamental activities of a democratic society. As is the case in any other aspect of life, developments in technology have resulted changes in the voting procedure from using the traditional ...
Chereme-based recognition of isolated, dynamic gestures from South African sign language with Hidden Markov Models
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Much work has been done in building systems that can recognize gestures, e.g. as a component of sign language recognition systems. These systems typically use whole gestures as the smallest unit for recognition. Although ...
Metric of trust for mobile ad hoc networks using source routing algorithms
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
This thesis proposed and presented technical details of new probabilistic metrics of trust in the links wireless ad hoc networks for unobservable communications. In covert communication networks, only the end nodes are ...
The Complexity of Splay Trees and Skip Lists
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
Our main results are that splay trees are faster for sorted insertion, where AVL trees are faster for random insertion. For searching, skip lists are faster than single class top-down splay trees, but two-class and multi-class ...
Visualization of microprocessor execution in computer architecture courses: a case study at Kabul University
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Computer architecture and assembly language programming microprocessor execution are basic courses taught in every computer science department. Generally, however, students have difficulties in mastering many of the concepts ...
Social and technical issues of IP-based multi-modal semi-synchronous communication: rural telehealth communication in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Most rural areas of developing countries are faced with problems like shortage of doctors in hospitals, illiteracy and poor power supply. Because of these issues, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is often ...
South African sign language recognition using feature vectors and Hidden Markov Models
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
This thesis presents a system for performing whole gesture recognition for South African Sign Language. The system uses feature vectors combined with Hidden Markov models. In order to constuct a feature vector, dynamic ...
Secure contactless mobile financial services with near field communication
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
This thesis presents the results from work with three prototypes that use Near Field Communication technology to provide secure contactless mobile nancial services on mobile phones.
