Aydin, Ufuk Suat. "Traffic Sign Recognition." Master's thesis, METU, 2009. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12610590/index.pdf.
Full texts automotive technology. In the design of smarter vehicles, several research issues can be addressed
one of which is Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR). In TSR systems, the aim is to remind or warn drivers about the restrictions, dangers or other information imparted by traffic signs, beforehand. Since the existing signs are designed to draw drivers&rsquo
attention by their colors and shapes, processing of these features is one of the crucial parts in these systems. In this thesis, a Traffic Sign Recognition System, having ability of detection and identification of traffic signs even with bad visual artifacts those originate from some weather conditions or other circumstances, is developed. The developed algorithm in this thesis, segments the required color influenced by the illumination of the environment, then reconstructs the shape of partially occluded traffic sign by its remaining segments and finally, identifies it. These three stages are called as &ldquo
Segmentation&rdquo
, &ldquo
Reconstruction&rdquo
and &ldquo
Identification&rdquo
respectively, within this thesis. Due to the difficulty of analyzing partial segments to construct the main frame (a whole sign), the main complexity of the algorithm takes place in the &ldquo
Reconstruction&rdquo
stage.

Full textSyftet med uppsatsen var att skapa en datahandske som kan översätta ASL genom att läsa av finger- och handrörelser. Vidare undersöktes om ledande tyg kan användas som sträcksensorer. För att läsa av handgesterna fästes ledande tyg på varje finger på handsken för att urskilja hur mycket de böjdes. Handrörelserna registrerades med en 3-axlig accelerometer som var monterad på handsken. Sensorvärdena lästes av en Arduino Nano 33 IoT monterad på handleden som översatte till de motsvarande tecknen. Mikrokontrollern överförde sedan resultatet trådlöst till en annan enhet via Bluetooth Low Energy. Handsken kunde korrekt översätta alla tecken på ASL-alfabetet med en genomsnittlig exakthet på 93%. Det visade sig att tecken med små skillnader i handgester som S och T var svårare att skilja mellan vilket resulterade i en noggrannhet på 70% för dessa specifika tecken.

Full textThis 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 sign language animations. SWML, an XML format of SignWriting is provided as input. It transcribes sign language gestures in a format compatible to virtual signing. Relevant features of sign language gestures are extracted from the SWML. These features are then converted to body animation pa- rameters, which are used to animate the avatar. Using key-frame animation techniques, intermediate key-frames approximate the expected sign language gestures. The avatar then renders the corresponding sign language gestures. These gestures are realistic and aesthetically acceptable and can be recognized and understood by Deaf people.

Full textIn this dissertation, I investigate the domain of compounds in sign languages. Compounding has been documented as a key strategy to enrich the lexicon of sign languages even in situations of emergent sign languages. I address this topic with three main angles: typological/empirical, theoretical and experimental. In the typological/empirical part, I offer a thorough description of compounds in two sign languages: Italian and French Sign Language (LIS and LSF). I offer a refined and more comprehensive typology of compounds, in which classifiers and simultaneous forms are also taken into account.In the theoretical part, I provide a formal account of how to derive the whole typology of compounds found in LIS and LSF. I show i) that compounds can be derived in multiple ways depending on their morphosyntactic properties and ii) that morphosyntactic derivation is not the only process that affects the combinatorial options of compounding. Post-syntactic processes, especially linearization, have to have access to at least partial representations in order to distinguish between forms that have to be spelled out either sequentially or simultaneously.In the experimental part, I investigate whether phonological reduction is a sufficient condition to identify compounds in SL. I show that importing criteria from one SL to another can be done, but with extreme caution

Every Sign of Life introduces an approach to and motivational schema for personal health monitoring. It is an exploration of how to make information collected by personal health-monitoring devices fun and engaging, and consequently more useful to the non-specialist. In contrast to the common methodology of adding game elements to established biofeedback systems, the Every Sign of Life approach is to design and build games that use biosensor information to effect the game environment. This work tests the hypothesis that fun (the joy of learning, achieving, competing, etc.) is a way to achieve the goal of self-efficacy; to induce people to take care of their own health by altering their habits and lifestyles. One result is a basic architecture for personal health-monitoring systems that has led to an approach to the design of sensor peripherals and wearable computer components called "Extremity Computing." This approach is used to redefine biosensor monitoring from periodic to continuous (ultimately saving data over a lifetime). Another result is an approach to adding implicit biofeedback to computer games. This has led to a new genre of games called "Bio-Analytical Games" that straddles the boundary between sports and computer games. A series of studies of how to present health information to children and adults have demonstrated the ability of consumers to use bioinformatics without involving professionals.

Full textSign Languages (SLs) have developed naturally in Deaf communities. With no written form, they are oral languages, using the gestural channel for expression and the visual channel for reception. These poorly endowed languages do not meet with a broad consensus at the linguistic level. These languages make use of lexical signs, i.e. conventionalized units of language whose form is supposed to be arbitrary, but also - and unlike vocal languages, if we don't take into account the co-verbal gestures - iconic structures, using space to organize discourse. Iconicity, which is defined as the existence of a similarity between the form of a sign and the meaning it carries, is indeed used at several levels of SL discourse.Most research in automatic Sign Language Recognition (SLR) has in fact focused on recognizing lexical signs, at first in the isolated case and then within continuous SL. The video corpora associated with such research are often relatively artificial, consisting of the repetition of elicited utterances in written form. Other corpora consist of interpreted SL, which may also differ significantly from natural SL, as it is strongly influenced by the surrounding vocal language.In this thesis, we wish to show the limits of this approach, by broadening this perspective to consider the recognition of elements used for the construction of discourse or within illustrative structures.To do so, we show the interest and the limits of the corpora developed by linguists. In these corpora, the language is natural and the annotations are sometimes detailed, but not always usable as input data for machine learning systems, as they are not necessarily complete or coherent. We then propose the redesign of a French Sign Language dialogue corpus, Dicta-Sign-LSF-v2, with rich and consistent annotations, following an annotation scheme shared by many linguists.We then propose a redefinition of the problem of automatic SLR, consisting in the recognition of various linguistic descriptors, rather than focusing on lexical signs only. At the same time, we discuss adapted metrics for relevant performance assessment.In order to perform a first experiment on the recognition of linguistic descriptors that are not only lexical, we then develop a compact and generalizable representation of signers in videos. This is done by parallel processing of the hands, face and upper body, using existing tools and models that we have set up. Besides, we preprocess these parallel representations to obtain a relevant feature vector. We then present an adapted and modular architecture for automatic learning of linguistic descriptors, consisting of a recurrent and convolutional neural network.Finally, we show through a quantitative and qualitative analysis the effectiveness of the proposed model, tested on Dicta-Sign-LSF-v2. We first carry out an in-depth analysis of the parameterization, evaluating both the learning model and the signer representation. The study of the model predictions then demonstrates the merits of the proposed approach, with a very interesting performance for the continuous recognition of four linguistic descriptors, especially in view of the uncertainty related to the annotations themselves. The segmentation of the latter is indeed subjective, and the very relevance of the categories used is not strongly demonstrated. Indirectly, the proposed model could therefore make it possible to measure the validity of these categories. With several areas for improvement being considered, particularly in terms of signer representation and the use of larger corpora, the results are very encouraging and pave the way for a wider understanding of continuous Sign Language Recognition

Full textSingle sign-on (SSO) är en sessionkontrollmekanism som gör det möjligt för en kund att använda en ett enda par av lösenord och namn för att kunna få tillgång till flera olika program. Mekanismen validerar klienten för alla anrop och eliminerar behovet av ytterligare inloggningsdialoger när en användare växlar mellan program inom en session. SSO-mekanismer kan klassificeras enligt olika kriterier, såsom programvara kontra hårdvara eller kunder krav orienterade mot serversidan arrangemang. De fem vanligen använda mekanismerna för Single Sign-On är närvarande: Web Single Sign-On Enterprise Single Sign-On, Kerberos (eller Token autentisering), Open ID och Federation eller Federated Identity. SSO har den stora fördelen att en användare kan få tillgång till många olika system utan att behöva logga in på vart och ett av dem separat. Men SSO inför också en säkerhetsrisk i och med att tillgång till ett enda av systemen också automatiskt innebär tillgång till samtliga. Denna avhandling beskriver SSO-teknik, Security Assertion Markup Language, och fördelarna och riskerna med att använda SSO, samt undersöker autentiseringsmekanismer och deras lämplighet för SSO integration. Tyngdpunkten är en beskrivning av en mekanism som minskar några av nackdelarna med SSO genom att övervaka användarnas beteende med avseende på en mall. Om en användare utför åtgärder som passar det beteende som beskrivs av mallen, då den föreslagna mekanismen kommer att hantera autentiseringen automatiskt. Om, å andra sidan, en användare gör något oförutsett, kommer mekanismen inte att automatiskt utföra autentisering för den här användaren, utan utlöser manuellt autentisering. Om denna manuella autentiseringen lyckas, så kan användare fortsätta att fortsätta att interagera med systemet, annars kommer användarsessionen att avslutas. Denna beteendebaserade utvidgning av autentiseringsmekanismen är en lovande metod som minskar behovet av att komma ihåg många namn och lösenord, utan att lämna delsystem öppna till de säkerhetsproblem som uppstår i ren SSO, och utan att vara beroende av biometriska egenskaper som kan förändras över tiden. Denna metod kan integreras med befintliga webbaserade lösningar utan ökad risk och ökade kostnader.

Full textThis thesis is about a generalization of permutation theory. The concept of pattern avoidance in permutation matrices is investigated in a larger class of matrices - the alternating sign matrices. The main result is that the set of alternating sign matrices avoiding the pattern 132, is counted by the large Schröder numbers. An algebraic and a bijective proof is presented. Another class is shown to be counted by every second Fibonacci number. Further research in this new area of combinatorics is discussed.

Full textThis research has investigated a computer based solution to facilitate communication among deaf people and unimpaired. Investigation was performed using literature review and visits to institutes to gain a deeper knowledge about sign language and specifically how is it used in Pakistan context. Secondly, challenges faced by deaf people to interact with unimpaired are analyzed by interviews with domain experts (instructors of deaf institutes) and by directly observing deaf in everyday life situations. We conclude that deaf people rely on sign language for communication with unimpaired people. Deaf people in Pakistan use PSL for communication, English is taught as secondary language all over Pakistan in all educational institutes, deaf people are taught by instructors that not only need to know the domain expertise of the area that they are teaching like Math, History and Science etc. but they also need to know PSL very well in order to teach the deaf. It becomes very difficult for deaf institutes to get instructors that know both. Whenever deaf people need to communicate with unimpaired people in any situation, they either need to hire a translator or request the unimpaired people to write everything for them. Translators are very difficult to get all the time and they are very expensive as well. Moreover, using writing by unimpaired becomes very slow process and not all unimpaired people want to do this. We observed this phenomena ourselves as instructors of the institutes provided us the opportunity to work with deaf people to understand their feelings and challenges in everyday life. In this way, we used to go with deaf people in shopping malls, banks, post offices etc. and with their permission, we observed their interaction. We have concluded that sometimes their interaction with normal people becomes very slow and embarrassing. Based on above findings, we concluded that there is definitely a need for an automated system that can facilitate communication between deaf and unimpaired people. These factors lead to the subsequent objective of this research. The main objective of this thesis is to identify a generic and an automated system without any human intervention that converts English speech into PSL as a solution to bridge the communication gap between deaf and unimpaired. It is identified that existing work done related to this problem area doesn’t fulfill our objective. Current solutions are either very specific to a domain, e.g. post office or need human intervention i.e. not automatic. It is identified that none of the existing systems can be extended towards our desired solution. We explored state of the art techniques like Machine translation, Speech recognition and NLP. We have utilized these in our proposed solution. Prototype of the proposed solution is developed whose functional and non functional validation is performed. Since none of existing work exactly matches to our problem statement, therefore, we have not compared the validation of our prototype to any existing system. We have validated prototype with respect to our problem domain. Moreover, this is validated iteratively from the domain experts, i.e. experts of PSL and the English to PSL human translators. We found this user centric approach very useful to help better understand the problem at the ground level, keeping our work user focused and then realization of user satisfaction level throughout the process. This work has opened a new world of opportunities where deaf can communicate with others who do not have PSL knowledge. Having this system, if it is further developed from a prototype to a functioning system; deaf institutes will have wider scope of choosing best instructors for a given domain that may not have PSL expertise. Deaf people will have more opportunities to interact with other members of the society at every level as communication is the basic pillar for this. The automatic speech to sign language is an attractive prospect; the impending applications are exhilarating and worthwhile. In the field of Human Computer Interface (HCI) we hope that our thesis will be an important addition to the ongoing research.

Full textNegligence of the health care representatives during emergency situations causes numerous deaths in the hospitals. Developing an efficient, quick and reliable health care monitor with emergency control can help reduce human errors. This project is based on monitoring patients admitted in hospitals. It is a health monitoring device which measures the heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature of patients. After the vitals are measured accurately, it transmits them wirelessly to a monitoring room using ZigBee. In emergency situations, abnormal vitals are sent to the doctor and the emergency contact using a GSM module. There are many monitoring systems using Bluetooth, but monitoring using ZigBee has many advantages. There is a new approach by adding a GSM module, as the vitals can be received on any telephone as a SMS. This is very useful when they need to be sent to an emergency contact or the doctor in charge. This elementary, cost efficient health monitoring system is based on a simple controller. The main result achieved by this approach is the reduction of the micro controller processing time by twelve, due to which the end to end execution time of the system is also reduced. The heart rate of the patient is also measured with medically approved equipment unlike the previous models.
