An integrated sign language recognition system
(University of Western Cape, 2014)Research has shown that five parameters are required to recognize any sign language gesture: hand shape, location, orientation and motion, as well as facial expressions. The South African Sign Language (SASL) research ... -
Robust facial expression recognition in the presence of rotation and partial occlusion
(University of Western Cape, 2014)This research proposes an approach to recognizing facial expressions in the presence of rotations and partial occlusions of the face. The research is in the context of automatic machine translation of South African Sign ... -
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 ... -
Performance estimation of wireless networks using traffic generation and monitoring on a mobile device.
(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 ... -
A comparison of machine learning techniques for hand shape recognition
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)There are five fundamental parameters that characterize any sign language gesture. They are hand shape, orientation, motion and location, and facial expressions. The SASL group at the University of the Western Cape has ... -
