Most of the relevant and severe congenital cardiac malfunctions can be recognized in the neonatal period of a child’s life. The delayed recognition of a congenital heart defect may have a serious impact on the long-term ...

Structure from Motion suggests that an object or scene’s three-dimensional structure can be determined from its observed two-dimensional motion. Human efforts, manifested in computer algorithms, try to mimic the ...

In an ideal software defined radio (SDR), all parameters are defined in software, which means the radio can be reconfigured to handle any communications standard. A major technical challenge that needs to be overcome ...

The aim of the thesis is to design a Control Moment Gyro (CMG) actuator which can be used in small satellite applications. The hardware and software of the CMG has to be designed according to specifications given. A ...

Although regenerative braking has been in used in railway systems for a long time already, the energy generated was dissipated in resistor banks. The rapid advances in the power electronics field, accompanied by the ...

This thesis discuss an investigation into the applicability of modern high frequency power conversion technology in the plasma mineral processing industry. The physics governing the plasma in a processing environment are ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate multi-spectral tracking. Various algorithms were investigated and developed to enhance the contrast between target and non-target classes. Different tracking algorithms were ...

This thesis relates to the design, implementation and evaluation of statistical face recognition techniques. In particular, the use of Hidden Markov Models in various forms is investigated as a recognition tool and ...

Power system stability simulations are of growing importance for studying the operational integrity of modern power systems, especially in developing economies where generating and transmission capacity lead the demand ...

Due to a more densely packed frequency spectrum, there is an increasing demand for narrow band filters with asymmetrical transfer function characteristics. The resulting coupling matrices contain both positive and negative ...
