Goals and Objectives: To introduce the student to computer vision algorithms, methods and concepts which will enable the student to implement computer vision systems with emphasis on applications and problem solving. Lab exercises will familiarize the student with typical hardware as well as software development tools. Students will use the C programming language to implement computer vision algorithms.
OUTLINE
Project will be some application of computer vision to digital image(s). Typical projects are simple pattern classification applications using CVIPtools libraries.

ECE 438 Image Analysis & Computer Vision - Semester Project
Semester Project: The project will consist of designing experiments, implementing algorithms, and analyzing the results for a computer vision problem. You will work with a partner. You will get the images for your project by using the cameras in the CVIP lab or your own camera – part of the project is image acquisition. The project will be selected by the students, subject to approval by the professor. The project proposal, due week 10, will include: 1) classes to be identified, 2) number and type of images to be used, 3) potential algorithm(s) for object extraction, 4) classification method(s) to be used, 5) method of evaluation of results. For the image sets, a minimum of four classes and ten images of each class is recommended. In this case, five of each class can be used for training and five for testing.
New Project 2017: TV Dinner Identification
A paper will be written describing the project and discussing what was learned during the project. The final paper should be about 10 to 15 pages, typed and double-spaced; include images ! In the paper include an appendix containing related data files and/or program listing(s). The students will give a short presentation of their project in the lab to the class, the professor, and the lab instructor. These presentations will take place during the scheduled final exam period, and will be 5 minutes in length. Do NOT go over 5 minutes and do not have more than 10 PowerPoint slides! Also, an evaluation for each group member will be handed in or emailed with the report.
Ø
In addition to handing in a paper copy of the
report, email me a soft copy of the Word file. Before you send me the
file give
it a meaningful name that includes your last name(s) and the
project title.
Grading: The project is worth 25% of your term grade, broken down as follows:
NOTES: 1) Start on your project as early in the term as possible, 2) late projects are worth 0.

Paper Format Outline
General: reports should be typed, double spaced, pages numbered starting with abstract. Number of pages?- do what is necessary, but keep it concise, extra stuff can go in an appendix. DO NOT put in plastic folder, simply staple in upper left hand corner.

Class Attendance Policy: Based on University Class Attendance Policy 1I9: It is the responsibility of students to ascertain the policies of instructors with regard to absence from class, and to make arrangements satisfactory to instructors with regard to missed course work. Failure to attend the first session of a course may result in the student’s place in class being assigned to another student.
Class Policies: If you have a documented disability that requires academic accommodations, please go to Disability Support Services for coordination of your academic accommodations. DSS is located in the Student Success Center, Room 1270; you may contact them to make an appointment by calling (618) 650-3726 or sending an email to disabilitysupport@siue.edu. Please visit the DSS website located online at: www.siue.edu/dss for more information.
Students are expected to be familiar with and follow the Student Academic Code. It is included in the SIUE Policies and Procedures under Section 3C2.2.
