Spring, 2016NEW: Spring 2016 Project videos page HereProject informationThe class project aim is to give the student a practical design experience in using the material covered in the class and the labs for implementing a system which which in its core uses digital signal processing to do something interesting. GroupsIt is recommended that you work in groups. Groups of up to 3 are allowed. A larger group will need special permission. Please assign yourself to a group on bcourses. Schedule:
Deliverables:
Project Ideas:The project proposals should ideally be using the radios, SDR's and interfaces you got. If you would like to do something else, it should be very relevant to the class. Preferred ProjectThe preferred project is to implement an image communication system. Information about the project is listed below. Even though it is the default one, it is a really cool one, which will allow you to send and receive images using your radios. Other project ideas:
It is recommended that you talk to me or the TA's if you plan to do one of these. Image CommunicationThe project is an open competition in which the winning team will get to keep their radios and interfaces. Task:Your task in the project will be to send the best quallity image in 75 seconds.
You can use:
Specs
What you could work on (partial list…)
Evaluation:
The image quallity evaluation will be done by
, where MAX is the maximum possible image pixel value (255 for 8bits) and MSE is the mean-square error, or (In the case of color images, you also sum over color). * Make sure that the radio transmit timeout setting (TOT Menu + 9) is set to at least 90 secons. Resources:
from scipy import misc im = misc.imread('calBlue.tiff') Example Images: Right click and save to downloadExample of downsampled imagesThese are the same images, downsampled to 2500pixels and upsampled back - this would be the minimum accepted quallity without compression, improvement in communication and post processing
