Project Ideas for Research and Undergraduate Students in 2004/5

Prof. Alan F. Smeaton

The following is a link to suggestions for projects I am interested in supervising. All of these are based around activities of the Centre for Digital Video Processing and are part of the CDVP Undergraduate Research Project Scheme.

For third year projects (CA3) I do not have any concrete suggestions, but use the CA4 suggestions above as ideas and take lightweight versions of those. I am also interested in supervising projects related to web searching and/or to video searching.

Intellectual Property arising from these projects

The School of Computing has formulated a policy on the distribution of intellectual property arising from student projects (such as these). This is based on an agreed a priori disbursement agreement between lecturer and student in the cases where the lecturer has a non-trivial involvement in the project and where the lecturer wants to put in place such an agreement and the student agrees.

In the case of projects from the there is a considerable amount of background knowledge provided and a significant amount of direction and facilitation by myself and other members of the Centre for Digital Video Processing. Consequently we shall require students to sign over intellectual property development rights for such projects before the commencement of the project.
