(Association of Engineering Education in South East Asia and the Pacific, 2005-12-08)
This paper presents the development and implementation of a new curriculum at the Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan Utara Malaysia (KUKUM). The curriculum is specifically developed for the Bachelor of Engineering Degree program ...
Fuzzy matching scheme for stereo vision based electronic travel aid
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE), 2005)
Navigation is a significant barrier to individuals with visual impairments. In response to this barrier, a wearable stereo-vision system was investigated and a prototype system named Stereo Vision based Electronic Travel ...
A preliminary study of Patient Lifting Robot for Nurse assistance
(Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan Utara Malaysia, 2005-05-14)
The advancement in technology and medicine has indeed tremendously improved the medical treatment, health and hospital care. In spite of that, the increasing rate of patients being admitted into hospitals and health care ...
A Support system for visually impaired persons to understand environmental information using Acoustic Interface
(Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan Utara Malaysia, 2005-05-14)
Visually impaired find their navigation difficult as they often lack the needed
information for bypassing obstacles and hazards. Electronic Travel Aids (ETAs) are devices that use sensor technology to assist and improve ...
Detection of coconuts location using separability filter and Hough Transform
(Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan Utara Malaysia, 2005-05-14)
In this paper, we develop a technique to determine coconuts location using
separability filter and Hough transform method. Our research involves two sequential steps for solving the coconuts detection and recognition. The ...
A feasibility study of using an Electronic Nose as a fruit ripeness measuring instrument
(Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan Utara Malaysia, 2005-05-14)
This paper presents the study of using an artificial olfactory system as a nondestructive instrument to measure fruit ripeness. The cultivar chosen for this study is Harumanis mango. This system comprises of an array of ...
A face recognition system using template matching and neural network classifier
(Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan Utara Malaysia, 2005-05-14)
We develop a technique to identify an unknown person in a face image by using
template matching and neural network classifier. The technique is separated into three main steps namely; preprocessing, feature extraction and ...
Conceptual view of Pneumatic Artificial Muscle
(Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan Utara Malaysia, 2005-05-14)
The intention of this article is to introduce and overview Pneumatic Artificial
Muscles (PAMs). The construction of PAMS mainly consist of flexible, inflatable membranes, having orthotropic material behaviour. The main ...
Design of a real time modified linear Delta Modulator using TMS 320C6416 DSP processor
(Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan Utara Malaysia, 2005-05-18)
The paper describes design of a real time modified linear delta modulator for generating toll quality speech at a rate that is about half that of the standard 8 bit PCM encoder. Multirate DSP technique is applied to reduce ...
The effects of MAC protocols on ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol
(Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan Utara Malaysia, 2005-05-18)
Ad hoc networks play an important role in mobile radio networks due to its flexibility and low operation cost. Several of key research issues of ad hoc network are on the
routing and MAC algorithms. But, only a few of ...
