Author:Vlok, JD; Olivier, JCDate:Nov 2012A semi-blind method based on principal component analysis (PCA) and sequence synchronisation is proposed to detect direct sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) signals in a noncooperative setting under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. ...Read more
Author:Burke, Michael G; Lasenby, JDate:Oct 2015This paper introduces a pantomimic gesture interface, which classifies human hand gestures using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) behavior recordings as training data. We argue that pantomimic gestures are more intuitive than iconic gestures and ...Read more
Author:Madonsela, Sabelo; Cho, Moses A; Ramoelo, Abel; Mutanga, ODate:Nov 2017The application of remote sensing in biodiversity estimation has largely relied on the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The NDVI exploits spectral information from red and near infrared bands of Landsat images and it does not ...Read more
Author:Pancham, A; Withey, Daniel J; Bright, GDate:May 2015The tracking of moving points in image sequences requires unique features that can be easily distinguished. However, traditional feature descriptors are of high dimension, leading to larger storage requirement and slower computation. In this ...Read more
