Statement of Work
Computer controlled optical image processing
This project requires a study of the various uses of optical image processing, such as pattern recognition, microscopy, holography and cryptography. This is in contrast to digital image processing. Consider employment of an optical laser scan. The student team is required to define at the outset what use they will develop.
Requires 1 EE, 1 Computer Engr
Customer: Prof. Jerry Sergent
Mentor: Prof. Doug Lyon.
Statement of Work
Health Monitoring Clothing
Design and construct a "wearable" piece of clothing equipped with sensors to monitor body vital signs - temperature heart rate, electrolytes, blood pressure, heart rate, etc. The sensors may transmit wirelessly or through a cable hookup to the readout.
Deliverable: working model of clothing and sensors plus readout equipment.
Requires 2 EE, 1 ME
Sponsor: Dr. Bill Taylor.
Mentor: Prof. J. Sergent
Statement of Work
Motion Detection for Fluorescent Lighting Conservation
There is a need to turn lights on and off in warehouses and other facilities where personnel for monitoring and control is limited. This system although applied in many areas would be wireless and would require understanding of magnetics and electronic controls for ballasts, etc.
Requires: 2 EE
Sponsor: Dr. Sergent
Mentor: to be supplied by Dr. Sergent
Statement of Work
Medical Use of Machine Vision
The students shall devise a program to identify skin diseases using machine vision. Prof. Lyon has a data base of skin diseases. This requires knowledge of image processing and understanding the intricacies of the critical aspects of the diseases. Consider illumination of the skin and the need for consistency of color temperature.
Requires 2 Computer engrs, 1 ME
Deliverables shall include the program and a simulation demonstration.
Sponsor: Prof. Lyon
Mentor: SR Dept. Faculty member
Statement of Work
Facial Identification Employing Machine Vision
The students shall devise a program that can identify faces using machine vision. Prof. Lyon has a prototype. This can aid homeland security. This will use pattern recognition capability. Experimentation is required to determine the improvement over the present techniques. The School of Engineering has submitted a grant for a novel system that will use what is developed in this project.
Requires 2 Computer engrs,
Deliverables shall include the program and a simulation demonstration.
Sponsor and Mentor: Prof. Lyon
Statement of Work
A software application to control power distribution to a grid from a number of distributed power generators near the point of power use.
Requires 1EE, 2SE engrs
Sponsor: Jerry Sergent
Mentors: Mark Ramsey, Don Joy
Statement of Work
A car that drives or parks itself using Lego Mindstorm equipment available from Dr. Lyon.
Requires 2 SR, possibly 1ME
Sponsor: Prof. Lyon
Mentor: SR faculty member
The following projects are oriented towards computer engineering students but those in other disciplines who may be interested may request to be on the team.
1. A 3D camera based on a turn-table, controller and image processing software
2. An image processing program that can be controlled using a visual programming language. Dr.Lyon has a prototype already.
3. A program that helps to convert Java to FPGA. This is a continuation of an independent study project conducted this summer by Mr. David Pavlik.
4. A multi-player game that uses 3D graphics and the computer network. Students take networking programming and Java3D to work on this.
5. A signal processing program that can be programmed with a visual interface (already, which he can supply).
6. A program that can help convert serial programs into parallel programs. Dr. Lyon has a prototype.
7. Project Imperion. A software system for the use of command patterns for various GUI components. Dr. Lyon has a prototype. |
