ECE 439 Digital Image Processing - Semester Project

Semester Project: The project will consist of designing experiments, implementing algorithms, and analyzing the results for an image processing problem. You should work in groups of 2. The project will be selected by the students, subject to approval by the professor. A paper will be written describing the project and discussing what was learned during the project. The final paper should be about 8 to 15 pages, typed and double-spaced; include images ! In the paper include an appendix containing program listing(s). The students will give a 5 minute presentation of their project in the lab to the class, the professor, and the lab instructor. 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:

  • Overall Project.. 15%
  • Paper................. 5%
  • Presentation........ 5%

Due Dates

Ø  Week 10:  Brief, 1 page max., project proposal (this is optional and is for your benefit)

Ø  Week 16 (Finals week): Project paper due. Presentation//demo (finals week)

Suggested Project Process:

  • 1) Find an area of interest from the lab or from class; see Section 11.5.2 in textbook for project ideas.
  • 2) Design experiment(s) you wish to pursue
  • 3) Design algorithms/C function(s) to implement related to project
  • 4) Code and debug your function(s)
  • 5) Test your functions on some real images
  • 6) Process images/do the experiments
  • 7) Compare and contrast your results to other similar results from using CVIPtools functions, or research results in library from similar experiments - Analyze results using appropriate metrics, tabulate or plot, etc. Use the objective and subjective fidelity measures in Chapter 7 to compare images. Design your subjective measure experiments carefully as outlined in Chapter 7.
  • 8) Write report, include images
  • 9) Present/demo to the class

·  NOTE: If you do not have any specific images that you want to use, take a look at the image databases on the Internet, such as:

 

DIP Image Databases

Project Paper Format Outline

  • 1. Title page (project title, names, course number, date, etc.)
  • 2. Table of contents with page numbers for: different sections, figures, appendices, etc.
  • 3. Abstract - 1 page or less. Concise description of what is contained in the paper.
  • 4. Introduction/Project overview
  • 5. Body of paper. Broken down into sections as required for you project. For example: Background/theory, experimental methods, discussion and analysis of results, program descriptions, etc. Present results using graphs, images, etc.,
  • 6. Summary and conclusions. Summarize any results and draw conclusions as based on these results.
  • 7. Suggestions for future work. Include any ideas you have based on your work and conclusions about follow-up experiments and/or research.
  • 8. References. Be sure your references are complete. Avoid web sites as references – these come and go – find the source, which is usually a published paper.
  • 9. Appendices - related background information, program listings, etc.

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.
