The design of a generic signing avatar animation system
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: We designed a generic avatar animator for use in sign language related projects.
The animator is capable of animating any given avatar that is compliant with the
H-Anim standard for humanoid animation. ...
Computer facial animation for sign language visualization
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2005-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Sign Language is a fully-fledged natural language possessing its own syntax and grammar; a fact
which implies that the problem of machine translation from a spoken source language to Sign
Language is ...
RoboCup formation modeling
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009-03)
Since the late 1990s, the Robot Soccer World Cup has been used as a testing ground
for new technology in the eld of robotic design and arti cial intelligence. This research
initiative pits two teams of robots against ...
A prototype system for machine translation from English to South African Sign Language using synchronous tree adjoining grammars
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2007-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Machine translation, especially machine translation for sign languages, remains an active research
area. Sign language machine translation presents unique challenges to the whole machine translation
process. ...
Implementation of cell clustering in cellular automata
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2011-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Cellular Automata (CA) have become a popular vehicle to study complex dynamical
behaviour of systems. CA can be used to model a wide variety of physical,
biological, chemical and other systems. Such ...
Stochastic visual tracking with active appearance models
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In many applications, an accurate, robust and fast tracker is needed, for example in surveillance,
gesture recognition, tracking lips for lip-reading and creating an augmented reality by embedding
a ...
A visual programming environment for authoring ASD therapy tools
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2011-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: 3D virtual environments can be used as therapy tools in patients with autism spectrum
disorders (ASDs); however, the development of such tools is time-consuming.

Ontology comprehension
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2011-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Ontologies are conceptual models of a domain of discourse and are used in a number
of applications to model a field of knowledge. For example, SNOMED, an ontology
of medical terminology, is widely used ...
Computer-controlled human body coordination
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2003-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A need for intelligent robotic machines is identified. Research and experiments have focussed
on stable, or relatively stable, dynamic simulated systems to demonstrate the feasibility of
embedding ...
Minimization of symmetric difference finite automata
(2006-03)
The minimization of a Finite Automaton (FA) deals with the construction of an equivalent FA with the least number of states. Traditional FAs and the minimization thereof is a well defined and researched topic within academic ...
