Computer Vision Gesture Recognition For Rock Paper Scissors, Nicholas Hunter
Computer Vision Gesture Recognition For Rock Paper Scissors, Nicholas Hunter
Senior Independent Study Theses
This project implements a human versus computer game of rock-paper-scissors using machine learning and computer vision. Player’s hand gestures are detected using single images with the YOLOv3 object detection system. This provides a generalized detection method which can recognize player moves without the need for a special background or lighting setup. Additionally, past moves are examined in context to predict the most probable next move of the system’s opponent. In this way, the system achieves higher win rates against human opponents than by using a purely random strategy.
Managing Inventory: A Study Of Databases And Database Management Systems, Jemal M. Jemal
Managing Inventory: A Study Of Databases And Database Management Systems, Jemal M. Jemal
Senior Independent Study Theses
Databases play an important role in the storage and manipulation of data. Databases and database management systems allow for fast and efficient data querying that has recently become increasingly important in most companies and organizations. This paper introduces a few of the different types of database management systems that are in widespread use today. It introduces some important terminology related to databases and database management systems. This paper also briefly discusses web user interfaces, highlighting important user interface design principles. Finally, an inventory management system is implemented for a local stationery store and is integrated with a web application to …
Remembering The City: An Augmented Reality Reconstruction Of Memory, Power, And Identity In Ho Chi Minh City Through Cartography & Architecture, Thuy Dinh
Senior Independent Study Theses
Cartography and architecture are official channels that facilitate remembrance in Ho Chi Minh City. Maps and buildings serve as sites for actors of memory to manipulate the city's narratives and shape its collective identity. Power enables the production of space and knowledge through sites of memory. The ruling regimes of Ho Chi Minh City have leveraged control over the natural environment and the local population to create new forms of materials that propagate their ideologies and ideals for the city. Alterations to the natural and built environments in the city legitimize the authorities' official narratives for its history and future …
Cheat Detection Using Machine Learning Within Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Harry Dunham
Cheat Detection Using Machine Learning Within Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Harry Dunham
Senior Independent Study Theses
Deep learning is becoming a steadfast means of solving complex problems that do not have a single concrete or simple solution. One complex problem that fits this description and that has also begun to appear at the forefront of society is cheating, specifically within video games. Therefore, this paper presents a means of developing a deep learning framework that successfully identifies cheaters within the video game CounterStrike: Global Offensive. This approach yields predictive accuracy metrics that range between 80-90% depending on the exact neural network architecture that is employed. This approach is easily scalable and applicable to all types of …
