Upper body pose recognition and estimation towards the translation of South African sign language
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Recognising and estimating gestures is a fundamental aspect towards translating from a sign language to a spoken language. It is a challenging problem and at the same time, a growing phenomenon in Computer Vision. This ...
Faster upper body pose recognition and estimation using compute unified device architecture
(University of Western Cape, 2013)
The SASL project is in the process of developing a machine translation system that can
translate fully-fledged phrases between SASL and English in real-time. To-date, several
systems have been developed by the project ...
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 ...
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: ...
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 ...
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.
Internet-Of-Things for Cyber Healthcare (L0t4c): Information Dissemination, systems' Interoperability and security
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Cyber Healthcare is becoming one of the fastest growing industries in the world due to
an increasing elderly population and a more health conscious word population. On the
other hand, IoT devices are emerging from niche ...
