Students will be required to complete a computer vision project as a part of this course. This project will allow students to gain “hands on” experience with a computer vision research topic. Typically, projects will involve analytic, programming and testing components. Projects will consist of four parts, as follows.

• White Paper: Each student will select a particular topic for study and inform the instructor of their choice via a short (1-2 sentence) written description. The final topic selection is subject to the instructor's approval. A list of suggested topics is provided below. Topics other than those listed may be acceptable; however, it a good idea to check with the instructor as early as possible for such cases. Due date: TBA.
• Proposal: Each student will submit to the instructor a brief (1 page) proposal for their project. This will extend on the topic selection by (i) motivating the area of investigation (explaining why it is interesting), (ii) describing an approach (providing a plan of attack), including what problem analyses, implementations and testing you intend to perform and (iii) suggesting possible outcomes. Due date: TBA.

Site Visit: Each student will make a brief verbal report of their progress; students are encouraged to provide preliminary demonstrations of any software that is being developed at this time. Due Date: Presentations will be made in the lab (1006B CSB), TBA.

  Final Demo: A final written report (approximately 5 pages) that documents the results of the student's investigations will be will be delivered to the instructor. Further, each student will provide a demonstration/discussion of their project results in front of the class. The software program that results as part of the project must be callable from the command line with argument of pgm image(s), as appropriate to the particular problem considered: This will allow the instructor to test the program during the final demo. For students enrolled in CSE 5323 only, the final written report also will be required to have an appendix (beyond the 5 page main body of the report), which is comprised of an annotated bibliography of references to the primary literature that is related to the project. Due Date: Written reports due at start of class TBA; in lab demonstrations will be conducted during the last several lecture periods beginning the same day. 

Computer Science and Engineering Department laboratory facilites will be available for support of projects. Details TBA.

A list of suggested topics will be made available.
