Project Requirements
 
The project is the main focus of the course and requires that you:
You are required to:

Project Selection:

You must choose a project from one of the following:
  1. Automated Raster Map Analysis: the system takes as input a raster image of a map, and must do the following

      Analyze the map to extract key features:

         a. Roads (and their intersections)
         b. Text (including map legend)
         c. Bodies of Water
         d. Man-made Structures
         e. Topographical Features (forest, mountains, swamps, etc.)
         f. Puts text into correspondence with map feature (e.g., labels
            roads with their name or number)

    Outline of Basic Components:

        + Text Extractor
        + Road Extractor
        + Water Extractor
        + Man-made structure Extractor
        + Topographic Feature Extractor

  2. Autonomous Vehicle Vision System: the system takes as input images from 1 or 2 cameras on an autonomous vehicle in an urban environment and produces a model of the environment:

        + Surfaces (roads, buildings, etc.)
        + 3D information (locations, volumes, etc.)
        + Obstacle information (size, range, location, etc.)
        + Mapping information (location in GPS coordinates, landmark detection, etc.)
        + Vehicle State information (speed, orientation, etc.).

  3. Image-Based Coloring Book: given a set of digital images, produce a coloring book with support infrastructure.  I have taken a set of digital images of wildflowers up in the Wasatch as a test case.
