Long Short-Term Memory-based Static and Dynamic Filipino Sign Language Recognition
Filipino Sign Language (FSL) is a distinctive form of sign language with its own set of pose, gestures, and grammar, which can cause a challenge in terms of identifying it. Earlier researches have identified three categories of sign language recognition methods, these are the gloves-based, vision-based and hybrid. Existing studies are only limited to recognizing...
Hydroponic System for Effective Microplastic Filtration in the Sea: A Revolutionary Low-Cost Method
The Low-Cost Microplastic Filtration System is a device designed to aid in the resolution of the growing problem with microplastics. With an estimated 48 million shopping bags and 164 million sachets used daily (Philippine research uncovers microplastics inside a regularly eaten fish, 2020), the Philippines is one of the most prolific users of single-use plastics....
Sitting Posture Notification and Monitoring System: A sensor application
Improper sitting posture is a common issue affecting many individuals, even young ones. Prolonged periods of sitting, whether at work, studying, or at home, can lead to back pain and other health problems. The study focused on the software’s material specifications and system flow required to create the system. The engineering design process involved using...
Improving Rice Farming Productivity through Solar-Powered Electronic Stirring with SMS Notifications
This research project aims to address the challenges farmers face in drying paddy rice to produce high-quality paddy grain due to a lack of manpower. The study presents an Electronic Stirring Rice Paddy system with SMS Notification and Solar Charging that stirs the rice every thirty minutes until it is dried, with features that notify...
Development and performance evaluation of a self-sustaining electric generator with automatic control
Energy plays an important role globally. Industrial growth, coupled with high system losses, has resulted in a major demand-supply imbalance resulting in an energy shortage with a devastating effect on the economies of countries. The pollution brought by the combusting energy source and the price-increasing-motion of fuel tends people to explore and use greener and...
Spatial Multiplexing and Hybrid Beamforming Design For 5G Wireless System
The current 5G network needs to achieve a considerably larger link capacity and ultra-low latency to enhance mobile broadbands and support emerging mobile applications and massive IoT. Thus, implementing MIMO-OFDM Spatial Multiplexing and Hybrid Beamforming techniques helped increase the information capacity using multiple transmit and receive antennas. At the same time, these can improve the...
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) Estimation based on Filter Augmented Imaging
The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is one of the vegetation indices widely used by researchers from different countries for measuring vegetation in inland areas. NDVI measures the greenness of a plant or area by using radiance and reflectivity of light from the sun to calculate the difference between near-infrared (vegetation strongly reflects) and red...
AI in Tourism: Leveraging Machine Learning in Predicting Tourist Arrivals in Philippines using Artificial Neural Network
Tourism is one of the most prominent and rapidly expanding sectors that contribute significantly to the growth of a country’s economy. However, the tourism industry has been most adversely affected during the coronavirus pandemic. Thus, a reliable and accurate time series prediction of tourist arrivals is necessary in making decisions and strategies to develop the...
Descriptive Analytics and Interactive Visualizations for Performance Monitoring of Extension Services Programs, Projects, and Activities
Providing universities with high technology-enabled automation tools to support the administrative decision-making processes will enable them to achieve their objectives. For an institution to succeed in its everyday tasks, it should come up with the emerging and modernized management services constituted, among others, by cloud, mobile, and business analytics technology. With this, the institution’s operations...
