3D Camera – Course Requirements + Grades

 

Course grade is based on attending the required lessons and on the final project.
Required lessons are all lectures, demo meetings, project presentations.

All projects in this course are hands-on using some form of 3D image acquisition camera (RealSense, Kinect or
Multi-Camera). Thus it will involve a live demo in which you will run your system in real-time.
Your project should be installed and runnable on the lab computer using the lab equipment (you may develop and
run on your own computer – just make sure that at the end of the course you install the completed project on the
lab computer).

Project submission is in 3 stages + Presentation/Demo:

Project proposal submission due   12/3/18. 
Mid-submission due                      16/4/18. 
Class Demos and Presentations     21/5,  28/5,  4/6.
Final submission due                     21/6/18


All projects are hands-on and thus will involve a live demo.
Project will also include:
* A Project Report
* Web Page
* Video Clip
* Code
* Demos
* Documentation


Web page should include explanations of your project, background on the problem, your approach and solution,
and results (see examples).

Project report should describe the project, expand the web page and give details. Include description of the
implementation, (possibly screen shot of the application), experimental results, further details, conclusions and references.

Code should be clean, organized and documented. There should be a Readme file describing the layout of the
code: code files and what each function does. There should also be a UserGuide explaining how to use the
code, including a specific example (example data should also be submitted).

Demos – project will be evaluated by running a real-time demo of the project.

Video Clip – a short video should be submitted showing your project running in real time.

                                              ------------------------------------------

Preliminary Submission – A short description of your chosen project. The papers/methods you will use, and the equipment
   and source code you will rely on. Preliminary also includes Web Page (outline – basically the info in the description).
Mid-submission  - at this point your project should be running but not at its best. That is there could be bugs, works on part of the
   input, needs enhancing and tweaking etc. Consider that at this point you should be able to show a basic/partial demo.
Presentation/Demo – we will have a Demo meeting (probably 2 meetings due to the number of students). Real time run of your
   project + presentation slides if needed in addition to demo.
Final submission includes – Everything!  

Final Project submission MUST BE ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING STRUCTURE:
4 directories:
Code  –all code files, include libraries, scripts, example runs etc.
            Code should be well documented (head of each file as well as within the code).
            Include a readme file describing the layout of the code (Modules, Functions etc).
Docs – The Project report.
            The User-Guide should explain how to use the program.
            Video  Clip
Data – Input data for the program. May include input images, example images or other input data.
Web – Directory including all files needed for the webpage. Should be stand alone - i.e. include all
            link files and images used in the webpages.

 

Grading:  Grading will be according to the items listed in the GradingForm.

Lab

The Lab (Room 413 Jacobs Bldg) will be opened by a lab assistant every Wednesdays at 11-14.
The lab may be open additional times as well and possibly by request.
