Tracheo-esophageal speech enhancement
Real-time pitch shift and output
Laryngectomised people (LP) have many problems with speaking in terms of intelligibility, volume and effort it takes. This thesis describes the design and simulation of a voice enhancement device which will improve the speech of LP with respect to intelligibility and volume. It o

Autonomous Temperature Sensor for Smart Agriculture
Energy Harvesting and Control
Many countries in the world face the problem of fruit frost during spring, which results in the loss of harvested crops. Solutions exist to prevent the fruit to freeze, however this requires that the temperature is known. Therefore, a smart autonomous temperature sensor network i

Autonomous Temperature Sensor for Smart Agriculture
Wireless communication & Networking
In this thesis, the design and implementation of a wireless communication module and an accompanying network are discussed. This wireless communication module is used in a device which communicates frost temperatures measured at orchards. The goal is to gather data on how fruit f

Image-based Video Search Engine
Data Compression and Nearest Neighbour Search
One of the main problems with Instance-level Image Retrieval in video data is that for longer query videos or large amount of image queries, comparing all of the query images to every extracted frame is time-inefficient. This thesis aims to solve this problem by implementing Near

Autonomous Temperature Sensor for Smart Agriculture
Smart Measurement and Control
Fruit-frost during spring is one of the main causes of damage to the harvest of fruit in orchards. Various systems using different methods of preventing spring-frost are available on the market. To determine when these systems should be activated, the temperature in the orchard n
