Synthetic Waste Generator for Classification Training

As the population increases so does the waste that is generated. Manually recycling waste is expensive and slow. Computer Vision (CV) solutions aim to make this less expensive and faster. Lots of data of this waste (thousands of images) is needed to train these CV solutions. This project, called Synthetic Waste Generator (SWaG) can create...

The validity of informed consent with regard to human genetic sequencing

Modern societies manage an ever increasing amount of data. By mining<br/>these data-sets, it is possible to gain understanding of problems. Through a<br/>process of informed consent companies have been able to sequence the genome<br/>of large populations. Providing insight to the consumer about their family<br/>lineage and possible future risks...

Procedural automation of general game level generation: the good, the bad and the ugly

The monumental goal of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is to model general solutions that can be applied to perform a variety of tasks that normally demand human intelligence to solve. Traditionally human game developers painstakingly design and tweak levels until achieving the precise output of their heart’s desire. In the gaming industry, AI for...

Optimal Colour Filtering for Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopy was shown to be highly effective in improving patients healthcare outcomes in comparison to traditional open surgery, ensuring faster healing, reduced scarring of the tissue and reduced pain. Laparoscopy has a great technological complexity, causing difficulties which make it of great interest to the engineering community. This...

Chatbot - Embedded Systems

The most crucial choices a student will make is about which college and major they decide to join. Accord- ing to a statistical analysis performed by Koenig (2018) in the U.S. News World Report, majors such as Computer and information science, Engineering and Engineering technology yield the highest employment rates and salaries compared to...
