cs482-001 Fall 2005 Dr. Duric Projects You will do your projects in groups of 3 students. Each group will collect images, design and test algorithms and programs, write technical reports, and present their results in front of class. The details will be given in class. Each group should make an appointment with me to discuss their project. You can choose between the following projects: 1. Font and form recognition and proper alignment of documents Scan a document that contains multiple fonts (bold, regular, italics) and graphics. Segment the document into text and graphics parts. Align documents so that the text is horizontal and classify fonts. 2. Music scanner. Scan music and read notes. You should use the Hough transform and correlation to detect lines and recognize symbols. 3. Recognizing hand gestures Recognize gestures made by a hand on a solid-color background. Trace the hand boundary and recognize gestures from the shape of the silhouette of the hand. Project reports will describe all algorithms and experiments. Project presentations will be in class on the date of the final exam.
