CS766 Computer Vision, Fall
2008
Written Assignment 0: Imagination
Assigned: Sept 2, 2008
Due: Sept 9 noon, 2008
This assignment is asking you to imagine wildly FIVE interesting things that you may wish to do with images. You may not know much about computer vision yet, but it does not matter. All you need is your imagination; I don't have fixed answers either. Please give FIVE ideas (or more if you like), from what you read on the course introduction, heard from the first lecture, learnt on the Internet, etc. If you would like some guidance, here are three directions along which you may think.
- Better Image Capture. Are you satisfied with existing cameras, in terms of image quality, ease to use, portability, etc. Any functions that you wish the cameras to have but they don't?
- Making Use of Images. How to make use of one image (like a document photo), several images (in your album), or billions of images (on the Internet)? How about videos?
- If you have the resource to put any numbers of cameras anywhere you want, what can you do with the captured images?
Once you have your ideas, think about what are technical problems that you need to solve to achieve your ambitious goals. You are encouraged to put your thoughts in your writeup, but this part is optional (only your five ideas are needed in your writeup). This assignment may help you to define your final projects from the very begining.
Please submit your answers (in any common file format: txt, pdf, doc, ppt) to the handin directory. Here is the procedure.
- First add the following line to your .cshrc.local file
(located in your home directory):
set path = ($path /s/handin/bin)
- Then run the following command at the shell prompt:
source ~/.cshrc.local
- Finally,to handin your files, enter the following command
handin -c cs766-1 -a PA0 -d directory
where directory is the path to the directory where
all your files are located.handin
will go through the specified directory and hand in the tar ball.
Please note that the handin script will copy everything in
the directory and you should only put all files related to this
project in that directory. Note : don't put the debug
inforamtion in your source code.
