COURSE PROJECT CS5187 VISION AND IMAGE 1. EXPECTATION The course project can be in group or individual. Through the project, you are expected to show knowledge (B grade), technical capability (B to A grade) and creativity (A grade) in any topic related to computer vision and/or image processing. 2. GROUPING Each group can have at most three members. It is OK to work alone. The grades of group members are not necessarily the same depending on contribution. The expectation for the scope of a project, as well as the grade, will be proportional to the group size. 3. SCOPE No two groups can have the exactly same title and content. All topics need to be approved by Prof. Ngo. If a proposed topic is overlapped with another group, the approval will be based on First-Come-First-Approve. The scope of a project can be in one (or multiple) of the following formats: ü Algorithm Implementation and Result Comparison Implement at least two algorithms/techniques (learn in class or elsewhere) and conduct empirical evaluation for performance comparison. ü Proof-of-concept You can propose a new algorithm/technique and show the improvement in theory and/or by experiment. You may or may not implement the algorithm, but a complete description of proposal, algorithm analysis and expected result is required. ü Application of algorithms/techniques for innovative application You can implement a vision or image related system to demonstrate your innovation. You are required to showcase the system by the end of project. ü Critical survey A survey of at least five research papers for a specific problem of computer vision and/or image processing. The survey must include critical analysis of strength and limitation of different techniques. 4.
