Machine Vision Showcase

The day has arrived – the conclusion of our Machine Vision unit! We will be dividing between rooms to cover everyone’s work. Please report to the rooms shown on the screen, and fill in these feedback forms for the groups that you see! Groups will be expected to broadcast their own slides on the projectors.

Final Project Kick-Off

Today we’ll be kicking off the Final Project! Some changes from the machine vision unit:

  • The project teams can be up to 5 folks for this assignment
  • There will be 7 class periods dedicated for this project (excluding this one) – 3.5 in-class weeks + Thanksgiving week + the “final events” week
    • All the final materials for this project will be due December 15th at 7PM which is evening of the day of our final event.
    • You have extra time to submit your project proposal; alongside your proposal, you must demonstrate some initial step towards evaluating your project scope and timeline
    • Beyond the typical demo + code + write-up, you are also asked to create a project portfolio website and prepare two milestone check-ins for this project
  • You are welcome to explore any topic(s) of interest for this project, building on your previous projects or projects in other classes (if building on projects from other classes, do be clear about this in your proposal)
  • The project should very much focus on a robotic system – while I won’t require integration with the Neatos specifically, use of datasets generated from real-platforms or use of other robots is highly encouraged.
    • An implication on this requirement is that most projects will be written as ROS packages.
