To classify the signals received from the person / equipment / device being monitored.

e.g. It could be to classify the different sounds being made from an engine or piece of machinery and to identify when specific faults are occuring. It could be to conduct word recognition or speaker authentication on people. It could also be used in intruder detection to identify hostile events.

It's effectively perforrming pattern recognition on the signal being received from the sensor.

That's interesting. When I was at uni (i did psychology) I had thought of doing artificial intelligence. My son is going to do computer studies at uni but at the time we were looking at different ones Warwick Uni students were doing a fourth year project involving video sensory recognition for detecting intruders.

I did indeed, good sir. I actually think it was the very best possible opening match for him, personally. If he had breezed through in straight sets the hype would have gotten even more unbearable. This way he's eased his way in with a display of not too earth shattering proportions. Low key, even.

He certainly seems to have the mental attitude to do well. The top sports people all seem to have that over-riding desire that they must win. Forget the money, forget the prestige, it is the winning that matters to them. Murray certainly seems to be in that category.

Stroke of genius getting Petchey on the beeb for the match commentary, I thought. His insights into Murray's psyche made interesting listening. That's exactly how he summed up Murray's approach to tennis - he just wants to win, nothing to do with fame or money, he knows that will come if he keeps winning, anyway.

I wonder if Andy Murray uses UW for his utilities?!?

Thought I'd try to keep this thread 'on topic', albeit rather loosely.

You never know. French & Saunders may do. I know Paul Daniels was (still is I think).

Hey that's athought. Perhaps some enterprising distributor should approach the All England Club. I intend contacting my local Tennis club sometime

The only problem with tennis players is love means absolutely nothing to them....

Unfortunately I didn't see his match - started too late for me. I believe he had to fight for it

We don't tend to process video data, although the use of video for intruder detection is an area being targeted by many companies and government agencies. I guess the ANPR systems on police cars that identify the number plates is an example where the video technology is being used to good effect.

I think Lancaster uni is doing something as well. They tend to specialise in small computer use projects such as mobile phones I think. I think theya are doing something in relation to audio signalling on building sites for people using pneumatic drills - safety aspects I think

It's surprising how many different applications there are for signal processing. We've processed data from a large number of different industries and applications over the years. I'm just thankful to Google otherwise I wouldn't know where to start with some industries.

I know we've gone off topic but just for the record (again), I have to reiterate that ALL of my customers are saving money compared to their previous suppliers. Even the customers who don't make use of the Cashback card. Some do use the Cashback card, some don't.

This is FACT. So, this rather buries certain peoples' assertations that UW have 'indisputably, the most expensive energies'.
