Course Description

During this course you are expected to proposed, implement, and present a graduate level project in Computer Vision. Every team (a pair) will suggest a project (subject to my approval) and will submit a project proposal. At the end of the course each team will be required to submit a project report and give a short presentation. You will be required to show the source code you wrote and explain its structure.

Important Dates:

Project Selection	1/04/2017
Project Proposal	25/04/2017
Project Report	1/09/2017
Project Presentation	Set up a meeting with me in email to present your project

Project Proposal

Prepare 15 min. presentation describing your project. Your proposal should answer the following questions:

• Participants
• Deliverable (what result will you show when the project is completed, during your final presentation).
• Description of problem.
• Approach to solving the problem (please give approximate milestones for the remaining time).

The presentation will be given in class for all students.

Project Report

Your project report should address the following:

• Participants and title
• Description of the problem.
• Description of the approach
• Results
• Analysis of the results (This is the most important section of the report. How well did your approach work? What issues did you encounter? How did you address them? What should be done differently or carried further if you were to do more work on this problem?)

Project Presentation

Presentations will last about 30 minutes. Your presentation should cover the material in your project report, but in a suitable form for a talk. It should briefly describe the problem and approach, present the results, and then present the analysis of the results. The presentation should be in ppt or pdf format.

Projects

• You are required to propose your own project (subject to my approval).
• The source code will be checked for plagiarism.
• Note that the purpose of the project is developing and implementing computer vision algorithms and not building UI!
• Ideas for projects can be found in:
1. the previous year:
