Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are wireless multi-hop networks built on
wireless nodes that operate in an Independent Basic Set Identifier (IBSS) mode
of the IEEE 208.11 wireless standard. IBSS is well known as an ad hoc ...
Gaming and computer science: Bridging the gender-gap
(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, ...

Robust recognition of facial expressions on noise degraded facial images
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
We investigate the use of noise degraded facial images in the application of facial expression recognition. In particular, we trained Gabor+SVMclassifiers to recognize facial expressions images with various types of noise. ...
Numerical Methods for Mathematical Models on Warrant Pricing
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Warrant pricing has become very crucial in the present market scenario. See, for example, M. Hanke and K. Potzelberger, Consistent pricing of warrants and traded options, Review Financial Economics 11(1) (2002) 63-77 where ...
Rendering an avatar from sign writing notation for sign language animation
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
This thesis presents an approach for automatically generating signing animations from a sign language notation. An avatar endowed with expressive gestures, as subtle as changes in facial expression, is used to render the ...
Hand shape estimation for South African sign language
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Hand shape recognition is a pivotal part of any system that attempts to implement Sign Language recognition. This thesis presents a novel system which recognises hand shapes from a single camera view in 2D. By mapping the ...
