Computer Engineering Graduation Project Idea

Question

We (a group of 4) are looking for interesting ideas for our final year project in Computer Engineering Department..

We prefer it software oriented, but a hardware idea will work as well..

Our current skills include:

• C++, C#, Java, SQL, ASP.NET, HTML/CSS, PHP
• Assembly, VHDL, Hardware design and some electronics
• Pattern Recognition and ANN
• Some AI & Machine Learning experience
• Image processing

I would like to hear your suggested ideas, especially the one you dream about, but you do not have time/resources for it...

Note that we are eager to new ideas, even if it will take much effort to complete it...

Thanks

Answer 1

An interesting combination of these skillsets is an advanced "intelligent" baby video monitoring system.

The features might be:

• Recognize baby vs. adult

• Advanced topic: recognize person (which baby, "trusted" vs "nontrusted" adult)

• Ability to control video monitoring:

  • Follow movement

  • Patterned scanning with programmable patterns

  • Predictive (e.g. can anticipate baby movements upon learning child movement patterns and focus in advance)

• Ability to send notofications on threshold events (baby crying louder than X decibels - page parents' SMS)

• Ability to predict "dangerous" behavior - e.g. a child going towards "forbidden" furniture/object, 2 children moving towards the same favorite toy (image recognized) that always results in "my-my-my" fight.

• More advanced: predict "something is off with the child" based on established pattern of behavior. "off" could be anything from "he never lies down on the bed before 7pm unless he's running a fever", to "seemingly pointless jumpiness while playing with a toy is a signal he wants to go to bathroom but not willing to interrupt the play - time for parental - or, heck - the system's - reminder to do so.

• A more positive use of pattern violation: flag "interesting moments" for parents on video recording. E.g. if the first time the baby started singing, or walking, happen when they're alone, the system can notice and flag fro "look here!"

Answer 2

A really strong open source recommendation engine. It hits on some of your skillsets, not all.

Answer 3

Some ideas:

• Next generation P2P file sharing protocol (faster, more privacy and immune to traffic shaping software).
• Distributed Web and database servers (essentially allowing a free website hosting service) that are immune against tampering.
• Smart news aggregation software (choose your interests and get the news... all with a smart filter).
• Smart dating aggregation site (pulling ads from other sites and adding a smart interface to filter the ads on your preferred match).

Answer 4

If you can create a Javascript framework for running SWF (Adobe Flash) files that could be run through any browser's Document Object Model (including Safari), and you could do this as efficiently as any standard native Flash player, then you'd be on to a real winner.

See here: http://wiki.github.com/tobeytailor/gordon/

The problem with this Javascript framework is that it isn't very efficient, because using the DOM to render vector graphics is very expensive.

This would be great for iPhone users to possibly see full Flash files playing inside the phone.

The Javascript code above called Gordon is seriously deep

(Flash Gordon - geddit?:)

Answer 5

Perform a clustering on documents, as done by ex-clusty search engine. This clearly is an attractive application.
