Digital Video Processing (EE392J)Department of Electrical EngineeringStanford UniversityProject Report and PresentationIssued: March 5, 2007Office hours: Mon and Wed after class, and Fri from 2:00-3:00.Project presentations: Wednesday, March 14, during extended final class from 4:15-6:00.Project report due: Friday, March 16, at 5:00 PM.Project Presentations: Wed (3/14) during extended last classEach project team will give a brief oral presentation describing their project. The presentations shoulddescribe the goal of the project, problems that were addressed, the algorithms used, and the experimentalresults. You should give sufficient information so that your classmates can understand your approach, how-ever they will also have access to your project report to learn about the details. The length of the presentationshould be:Individual project presentations: 15 minutes + 3 mins questions (about 7-9 slides, plus video)Two-person project presentations: 22 minutes + 5 mins questions (about 10-15 slides, plus video)After each project presentation there will be a few minutes for questions. Please be careful to plan yourpresentation for the time allotted. A one-person project should have no more than about 9 slides, and atwo-person project should have no more than about 15 slides.If possible, each project should have a short video to demonstrate your work to your classmates. Oftena video with careful commentary can convey more information than many powerpoint slides. Please giveme an electronic copy of your presentation and video demonstration. Please compress your video with astandard codec (e.g., MPEG-1 or Motion-JPEG) to both limit its size and be playable on a variety of clients.For instance, confirm that your video can be played on Windows Media Player.The project presentations will be given during an extended last class: Wednesday, March 14, 4:15-6:00. We will have a slightly longer last class to ensure that everyone has sufficient time to present theirfinal project to their classmates and to answer questions. Please plan to attend until 6:00. If you need toleave at the regular class ending time of 5:30 please let me know so that we can plan your presentationearlier in the class period.(See back)Project Report: Due Friday 3/16 (5 PM).The project report should contain two parts: (1) the actual project report, and (2) a copy of any codethat you wrote as part of your project, as well as brief comments describing your code. The project reportshould include an abstract, a problem statement, brief motivation for the problem, discussion of the specificsubproblems that were addressed, detailed discussion of your proposed algorithm(s), experimental results,conclusions, and references. In addition, you should provide some comparison versus other approaches tosolve the same problem where the comparison may be experimental or simply a discussion.The report should be written for a reader who has taken EE392J. For example, you do not have to explainblock-matching motion estimation. However, if you use block-matching you should describe what type ofblock-matching you used, e.g., describe the blocksize, search strategy, and matching criterion. Provide suf-ficient detail so that a knowledgeable reader (an EE392J classmate) has sufficient information to implementyour algorithm or understand your code. The text length of the report should be approximately equivalentto that of a conference paper – concise and informative. The total length should be approximately 10 pages,single column, including figures, images, and references. Each student should submit their own report, how-ever project partners can share some appropriate background material. The individual contributions of eachmember in a multi-person project should be clearly identified.Please give me an electronic copy of your report either in class or by email by 5 PM on Friday, 3/16.Your report will be placed on a webpage off of the course webpage. However any code you have writtenfor your project should not be placed on the webpage, therefore please submit your code separately fromyour report, e.g., a ZIP file of your Matlab code with comments. Please submit your project report in PDFif possible, however postscript or Word formats are also acceptable (I’ll convert them to PDF).Summary of Things to Submit (by Friday, 3/16, at 5:00 PM):1. Electronic copy of your written report2. ZIP file of your code for your project, including brief comments3. Electronic copy of your presentation4. Files in your video demonstration (if appropriate)Possible Use of Laptop for PresentationIf you do not have access to a laptop for your presentation, and you would like to use a laptop, pleasetalk with your classmates or let me know. Note that you do NOT need to use a laptop for your presentation– transparencies would be fine. However, it would be nice to show a video demonstration as part of yourpresentation, and then you should place the video on a laptop prior to your
