A Comparison of Machine Learning Techniques for Facial Expression Recognition
Deaney, Mogammat Waleed (University of the Western Cape, 2018)A machine translation system that can convert South African Sign Language (SASL) video to audio or text and vice versa would be bene cial to people who use SASL to communicate. Five fundamental parameters are associated ... -
The availability, applicability and utility of information systems engineering standards in South African higher education
Bytheway, Andy (University of the Western Cape, 2016)Higher education institutions in South Africa have invested heavily in information technology and information systems, with variable outcomes. Organisations in other sectors, such as engineering, the defence industry, ... -
Gaming and computer science: Bridging the gender-gap
Adams, Saira-Banu (University of the Western Cape, 2019)According to the literature, women are still unrepresented in the field of information technology. Although many women study computer science at first year level, the dropout rate for women—before they graduate—is high, ... -
Independent hand-tracking from a single two-dimensional view and its application to South African sign language recognition
Achmed, Imran (University of Western Cape, 2014)Hand motion provides a natural way of interaction that allows humans to interact not only with the environment, but also with each other. The effectiveness and accuracy of hand-tracking is fundamental to the recognition ... -
The influence of interfaces on the understanding of Mathematics in secondary schools in Afghanistan
Mojadadi, Abdul Rahman (University of the Western Cape, 2010)The focus of this research is to establish whether there is a difference in the way the genders perceive the visualization of mathematics, with specific reference to set theory. The influence of the computing experience ... -
Performance estimation of wireless networks using traffic generation and monitoring on a mobile device.
Tiemeni, Ghislaine Livie Ngangom (University of the Western Cape, 2015)In this study, a traffic generator software package namely MTGawn was developed to run packet generation and evaluation on a mobile device. The call generating software system is able to: simulate voice over Internet ... -
South African Sign Language Hand Shape and Orientation Recognition on Mobile Devices Using Deep Learning
Jacobs, Kurt (University of the Western Cape, 2017)In order to classify South African Sign Language as a signed gesture, five fundamental parameters need to be considered. These five parameters to be considered are: hand shape, hand orientation, hand motion, hand location ... -
Synergistic use of promoter prediction algorithms: a choice of small training dataset?
Oppon, Ekow CruickShank (University of the Western Cape, 2000)Promoter detection, especially in prokaryotes, has always been an uphill task and may remain so, because of the many varieties of sigma factors employed by various organisms in transcription. The situation is made more ... -
