Kyla Bouldin

First and Second Quarter

work on my science project:sept 9 - dec 17
Links on other Document

1. Finish research and write proposal - due sept 16
2. Go through simple image processing tutorials
3. Write program that detects and outlines edges on an image that is input from file
4. To detect circle.. go through each point and measure distance from that point to the first point of an edge. once one point if found.... measure distance in all directs to see if the length is the same.. if it is, then it is a circle
5. Write part of program that says if it detects that it is a circle.. print out “this is a circle”
6. write part of program that “looks” at the image from the file and takes out the noise then runs to see what shape it is
7. Start writing intro in paragraph form
8. Intro, Procedure, & lit citation- due oct 11
9. Decide how to detect sound and how to take data.
10. Think of way to print images with sound. what paper, what size, thickness of shape.. etc.
11. Find how to use web cam with computer and upload directly to program
12. Find place to set up camera and images
13. If time write program to detect squares
14. Set up web cam with robot
15. Set up robot or plain camera to detect where the picture is
16. run experiment
17. set up data in computer
18. Data collection & results - due dec 6
19. Start writing final paper
20. Finish research Paper - due Dec 17

Proposal

Step 1: Project Ideas:

1. Machine Vision
2.  ?
3.  ?
4.  ?
5.  ?

Step 2: My Decision How does noise affect an algorithm's ability to recognize a shape? "Title: The effect of noise on pattern recognition algorithms

Step 3: Variables IV - Noise level on image DV - Correct reading of image Constants - Algorithm, language, type of camera, color and size of image, lighting, location

Step 4: Questions to Research

1. How does image processing work?
2. What is machine vision?
3. How does a computer read a picture?
4. What is edge detection
5.  ?

Step 5: Research (2 must be books, magazines, or online journals) 1st Source - Notes: 2st Source - Notes: 3st Source - Notes: 4st Source - Notes: 5st Source - Notes:

Step 6: Hypothesis If ___________ then ________ because _________

Step 7: Procedure

1. What materials will be needed for the project and how will you obtain them?
2. Where will you do your work?
3. How will you measure the dependent variable?
4. Describe your procedure in detail

Step 8: Reactions Let us know how you are feeling about this project in a “Reactions” paragraph. Are you anxious? Excited? Comfortable? Do you have questions about anything? Tell us your thoughts/feelings at this point.

Step 9: Honor Pledge Pledge your assignment, by writing in ink: “On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid in doing this project,” and sign it in ink.
