Parallelising inference on cluster graphs
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2020-12)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Cluster graphs (CGs), a technique used in machine learning, are computationally very complex and often are slow to converge to an answer. There are also various approaches that lead to convergence. Some ... -
Measuring techniques to determine hydrophobicity of polymer insulators
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2020-12)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: High voltage insulators play an important role in power grid networks. Maintaining highvoltage insulators is essential in creating a reliable grid. Various factors such as pollutioncan influence the ... -
A low-cost, fluorescence-based amyloid fibrin(ogen) sensing device for systemic inflammation detection
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2020-12)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerativediseases are amongst the top leading causes of death globally. Chronic systemic inflam-mation is inextricably linked to ... -
Low-Bandwidth transmission of body scan using skeletal animation
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2020-12)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: With the recent heightened commercial availability of virtual reality head-mounted displays, methods of creating content for such systems are now becoming a relevant concern. Computer generated content ... -
Fast array analysis using parallelised domain decomposition methods
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2020-12)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The requirements for antennae increase daily and as such, antenna arrays are used to meet them. These arrays are often large, consisting of hundreds of antennae, and typically require multiple simulations ... -
Direct and indirect multimodal few-shot learning of speech and images
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2020-12)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Children have the ability to learn new words and corresponding visual objects fromonly a few word-object example pairs. This raises the question of whether we can findmultimodal speech-vision ... -
Cooperative target following and collision avoidance for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2020-12)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the field of robotics, there is an increasing number of applications for multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to operate autonomously in a complex environment. This study contributes to the ... -
Cooperative navigation for multiple autonomous ground vehicles (AGVs) with kinematic constraints
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2020-12)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis presents the development of a system for the cooperative navigation of severalAutonomous Ground Vehicles (AGVs) within the same environment. A high-level systemarchitecture is designed that ... -
A comprehensive methodology for impact assessment studies of energy storage systems on low voltage distribution feeders
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2020-12)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research investigates the technical impacts of energy storage systems (ESSs) on low voltage (LV) residential feeders. A critical literature review on the existing impact assessment methodologies ...
