- Computer Animation.
The purpose of this project is to make a short 3D cartoon movie. It will include the design and implementation of a motion capture, the interfacing of the motion capture with a 3D software package like Poser 5, MAYA or else (TBD), the sound editing of the movie... and whatever else is required.
This project will require few groups one of them might be a software engineering group responsible of integrating the different components of the various other groups.
We might also open this project to volunteer students from second and third year. This project will be supervised by a group of academics including (and to be finalized) Dr. P. Kovesi, Dr. D. Huynh, and Dr. E.J. Holden.
The prerequisites to this project might be knowledge and preferably some experience (even limited) with computer animation, computer graphics, and computer vision. But if you feel able to tackle such a project please come and talk to me.
Some related and possibly sub-projects include:
The design and implementation of an imperceptible structured light 3D acquiristion system (based on a previous honours project).
See this reference for the concept
The design and implementation of a stereo system for a 3D acquisition system.
The design and implementation of a motion capture.
Tracking of facial expressions.
Tracking and data association.
- Computer Vision for Vehicle Control.
Based on some stereo matching work that we did in the past, and similar to the work done in
this paper, we would like to use a stereo system for the navigation of a toy car.
Basically the toy car will be controlled by the vision system (visual control) and you will have some fun and make it automatically navigate through the
corridor of the first floor of the School of CSSE...
Few issues will still need to be sorted out, namely whether we can find a toy car in one of the hobby stores around that can stand a laptop and a couple of
video cameras. Ideally, the connections will be wireless, we may need to use video cameras equipped with Bluetooth. We will also need to sort out
the (maybe wireless) mounting of the laptop on the car and its interfacing with the microcontroller of the toy car. We may opt to use Artificial Neural
Networks for this project.
Mechatronic Students might be more suitable for such a project.
But if you feel able to tackle it, please come and talk to me. It may also require a group of students.
This project will be supervised jointly with Dr. Huynh.
