Localization Project Share-Out and Demos

You all have been working hard on implementing and expanding upon a particle filter. Let’s celebrate what’s been learned, successes and failures, advice, funny stories, and more. A shareout deck is available here.

Machine Vision Kick-Off

Today we will be kicking off our next unit: machine vision. Our kick-off discussion can be found in this Google Slide Deck.

Machine Vision Ideation and Team Formation

Take a look at the machine vision project assignment document – today we’ll be forming teams, brainstorming project ideas, and starting your project proposals.

Process:

  • [5 min] Individually review your learning goals for the class and for this project
  • [5 min] Create a sticky-note for each topic/theme you’d like to explore in this project. Consider:
    • Is there a particular application of machine vision you’d like to investigate?
    • Is there a particular class of algorithm you’d like to learn about?
    • Is there a particular algorithm you’d like to implement or dataset you’d like to use?
  • [5 min] Gather with 3-4 other folks and rapid-sort your sticky-notes into clusters on a white board – label your clusters
  • [5 min] As a class, we’ll identify 6 common themes and place them around the room
  • [10 min] Choose a theme that interests you and go to it in the room; with the other folks in the group, discuss your learning goals and ideas you have related to that theme
    • You’re not committing to anything yet! This is about exploring some areas and project ideas of interest
  • [10 min] Pick another theme and go to it; repeat your discussions
    • You’re not committing to anything yet! This is about exploring some areas and project ideas of interest
  • [Rest of Class Time] Find a partner and begin to scope a project you’d like to complete. You can use the proposal guidelines to frame your discussion
