Real-Time Translation Of American Sign Language Using Wearable Technology, Jackson Taylor
Real-Time Translation Of American Sign Language Using Wearable Technology, Jackson Taylor
Honors Theses
The goal of this work is to implement a real-time system using wearable technology for translating American Sign Language (ASL) gestures into audible form. This system could be used to facilitate conversations between individuals who do and do not communicate using ASL. We use as our source of input the Myo armband, an affordable commercially-available wearable technology equipped with on-board accelerometer, gyroscope, and electromyography sensors. We investigate the performance of two different classification algorithms in this context: linear discriminant analysis and k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) using various distance metrics. Using the k-NN classifier and windowed dynamic time …
Cameron-Liebler Line Classes And Partial Difference Sets, Uthaipon Tantipongipat
Cameron-Liebler Line Classes And Partial Difference Sets, Uthaipon Tantipongipat
Honors Theses
The work consists of three parts. The first is a study of Cameron-Liebler line classes which receive much attention recently. We studied a new construction of infinite family of Cameron-Liebler line classes presented in the paper by Tao Feng, Koji Momihara, and Qing Xiang (rst introduced in 2014), and summarized our attempts to generalize this construction to discover any new Cameron-Liebler line classes or partial difference sets (PDSs) resulting from the Cameron-Liebler line classes. The second is our approach to finding PDS in non-elementary abelian groups. Our attempt eventually led to the same general construction of PDS presented in John …
Nonexistence Of Nonquadratic Kerdock Sets In Six Variables, John Clikeman
Nonexistence Of Nonquadratic Kerdock Sets In Six Variables, John Clikeman
Honors Theses
Kerdock sets are maximally sized sets of boolean functions such that the sum of any two functions in the set is bent. This paper modifies the methodology of a paper by Phelps (2015) to the problem of finding Kerdock sets in six variables containing non-quadratic elements. Using a computer search, we demonstrate that no Kerdock sets exist containing non-quadratic six- variable bent functions, and that the largest bent set containing such functions has size 8.
