A material segmentation and classification system
… thesis, I developed a material segmentation and classification system that takes in images of an object and identifies the material composition of the object's surface. The 3D surface is first segmented into regions that likely contain the same material, using color as a heuristic measure. The …

A two-point vehicle classification system
The counting and classification of vehicles is an important part of transportation engineering. In the past twenty years many automated systems have been developed to accomplish that labor-intensive task. Unfortunately most of those systems are characterized by inaccurate detection systems and/or …

An Intelligent Soft-Computing Texture Classification System
The aim of this research work was to obtain a system that classifies texture. This so called Texture Classification System is not a system for one special task or group of tasks. It is a general approach that shows a way towards real artificial vision.<br/><br/>Finding ways to enable computerised …

Developing a classification system for Western Cape wetlands
Although broad wetland classifications systems are available internationally, a comprehensive wetland classification system, which can be used for both desktop and field analyses, is lacking in South Africa but is required by the South African National Water Act (36 of 1998). Wetlands within the …

A Context Aware Classification System for Monitoring Driver’s Distraction Levels
… improvement in advanced driver assistance systems, the current measures neither detect the severity of the distraction levels nor the context-aware, which can aid in preventing accidents. Also, no compact study provides a complete model for transitioning control from the driver to the …

The Applicability of the Megargee Classification System for the MMPI-A
<p>Megargee (1977) originally developed a classification system for MMPI profiles for male offenders, and eventually expanded this system to also accommodate the MMPI profiles of female offenders (Megargee, 1992). Recently Megargee expanded and modified this system for use with the MMPI-2 …

Puncture resistance of geotextiles and evaluation of the g-rating classification system
… puncture tests to 80 per cent by the G-Rating classification system, was found unnecessary for all the geotextiles tested, as elongation at failure in all cases did not exceed 80 per cent. A Rupture Index classification is proposed, being the product of failure load and vertical plunger …

Demonstration of a Method for the Development of a Team Classification System
… was to demonstrate an approach to developing a system for classifying teams. A classification system is important for formulating theories, generating hypotheses, and especially as an aid in generalizing results from one setting to another. Although a number of classifications can be found in …

A trainable image pattern classification system for detection of damaged soybean seeds
Optical properties of asymptomatic soybean seeds, green seeds, and four classes of soybean seeds discolored by fungi were determined using a spectroradiometer. Knowledge of the optical properties of soybean seeds provided a means of identifying that differences in spectral reflectance existed which …

A multi-agent approach to adaptive learning using a structured ontology classification system
… the development of an-agent based Pre-assessment System in the identification of knowledge gaps in students’ learning between a student’s desired concept and some prerequisites concepts. The aim is to test a student's prior skill before the start of the student’s higher and desired concept of …

Development and validation of a classification system for child sexual abusers using the MMPI-2
Child sexual abusers have typically been studied as a homogeneous group, comparing them with non-child sexual abusers. The present study was designed to examine the heterogeneity of child sexual abusers on a measure of psychopathology, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), the …
