Final project information
Final project report
We expect a written report for your project in the style and format of
an ordinary research report. You are encouraged to use a word processing
package with good math typesetting capabilities, e.g. latex, (or word
with MS equation editor (if you can stand the user interface) or Equation
magic). Regradless of what SW you use make sure that your electronic
submissionn includes a postscript or pdf file including all fonts, figures etc.
(using dvips if latex, or print to file under windows)
Preview your submision using gv on e.g. ohaton to make sure it looks good
and everything is there.
For examples of good reports see the published conference or
journal articles you have been reading for your background studies. As
a guideline we would expect to see
- A cover page with the project title, your name, student id, project abstract
- Introduction with background and motivation given in words.
- Theory
- A succinct description of any math, algorithms or implementation tricks
you are taking from your background reading, including proper citations.
- Any new results (mathematical, algorithmical or implementations) you
have produced, including sufficient derivations and explanations to make
them understandable.
- Experimental results
- Comparisons between different methods (e.g. from published experiments). Explain and motivate observations. Discuss pros and cons.
- Comparisons under different conditions/properties (e.g. different
input images, more and less noise etc)
- Conclusions. Summarize your results, pros and cons. Comment on their importance.
Suggest possible improvements (future work) or things you might have done
differently should you do it given what you learned in the project.
- Reference list.
Note: Everyone has to write part of the final report. In case of a group
project see instruction on the preceding page.
Submission
- Consider how to structure your material (code, documentation and
data) so it is presentable and attractive. We will expect it to be straightforward
to make and run your code. Because of the varying nature of
the projects there is no one answer to how/what to submit.
However as appropriate submit code, an executable, sample data,
and sample output (e.g. an mpeg movie for projects involving video).
Write a small text file describing how to run your project.
- Please include .pdf of the most important references. Rationale: While following your projects I found that it often takes me a lot of time to look up any references I may want to consult from your reference list. (Remember you may have a handful or more references you downloaded, but I have 10 times that for all the projects). You can help me by including the .pdf of say 4-8 most important papers (when applicable), and functioning http links to web sites you reference in your report.
- e-submission
Make one submission per group. Have file names indicate names, e.g. reportJSmithJDoe.pdf. Submit to eclass. Include supporting code, videos, presentation.
