The use of computers for digital image recognition has become quite widespread. Applications include face recognition, handwriting interpretation and fmgerprint analysis. A feature vector whose dimension is much lower ...

This thesis describes the evaluation of several computer supported martial arts learning environments. These learning environments were designed, developed and implemented for practitioners of Rough and Tumble (RAT), a ...

This thesis analyses videos in two distinct ways so as to improve both human understanding and the computer description of events that unfold in video sequences. Qualitative analysis can be used to understand a scene in ...

The research was directed toward the viability of an O(n) algorithm which could decompose an arbitrary signal (sound, vibration etc.) into its time-frequency space. The well known Fourier Transform uses sine and cosine ...

A shock is essentially a propagating variation in the pressure or density of a medium. If the medium is transparent, such as air, and the shock radially symmetric, the refractive fringe diagnostic can be used to examine ...

With human society becoming increasingly computerised, the use of biometrics to automatically establish the identity of an individual is of great interest in a wide variety of applications. Facial appearance is an appealing ...

The analysis and identification of texture is a key area in image processing and computer vision. One of the most prominent texture analysis algorithms is the Gabor Filter. These filters are used by convolving an image ...

Intelligent programming tutors have proven to be an economically viable and effective means of assisting novice programmers overcome learning difficulties. However, the large-scale use of intelligent programming tutors ...

Parking is considered a major land use challenge in campus planning. The problem can be in terms of scarcity (few available spaces compared to demand) or management (ineffi cient usage of available facilities). Many ...

This research work focused on the performance of heuristics and metaheuristics for the recently defined Hostel Space Allocation Problem (HSAP), a new instance of the space allocation problem (SAP) in higher institutions ...
