Term Project

Introduction

Your goals for this project are to design, implement, and evaluate a complete system to achieve a specified task, and to report your findings to the class. You have a great deal of freedom to specify the scope of your task, as well as the means used to implement your system. Four weeks are allocated to project implementation.

Objectives

	Define a problem that can be solved using an imaging-based approach.
	Design, implement, and test a system which solves the problem.
	Orally present your problem statement, solution, and results to the class.

Requirements

	Your system must be based (at least in part) on an approach which is described in an image processing journal.
	Your project proposal must be approved by the instructor before you begin work.
	Your project will be presented in HTML format.
	You will make an oral presentation of the project.

Activities

1. Prepare an abstract which includes the following information:

(a) motivation - why the problem is of interest

(b) problem statement - single sentence which defines the need for your system

(c) objectives - what you expect to achieve

(d) approach - methods you will use to achieve your objectives

(e) expected results

(f) literature reference(s)

The abstract should be no longer than one page, 12-point font. Attach a photocopy of the article(s) you will use.

2. Design, implement, and test your system.

3. Prepare an HTML presentation of your work. Install in the same directory as you did for previous labs. Refer to Requirements and Tips for HTML Presentations for specific guidelines about your HTML project implementation. All files associated with your presentation must be placed in the subdirectory called ‘termproj’, and the top-level page of your presentation must be called index.htm.

4. Prepare a 10 minute oral presentation of your work. An overhead projector and video projector will be available. Take care that your visual aids are appropriate for an oral presentation, e.g., easily readable font for text, limited amount of text per display, etc. Simply using your HTML presentation as the sole visual aid is not encouraged.
