CS 5610/6610 - Spring 2017 - Interactive Computer Graphics

Final Project

The final project will be different for each student. The aim of the final project is to use the skills you've obtained during this class and gain additional knowledge and experience through implementing a more complex project.

Students will pick their own project topics and submit an proposal. The proposal will be reviewed and approved by the instructor.

The project topic can be the implementation of a paper that is related to interactive computer graphics. The recommended venues for finding project topics are SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, Eurographics, I3D, HPG, and EGSR conferences, but papers published in other venues can be accepted as well. Ke-Sen Huang's page contains links to papers published in various computer graphics venues.

Alternatively, students can describe a particular project they would like to implement. This project should be challenging enough and include interesting aspects of interactive computer graphics to be accepted as a final project.

Requirements

• Proposal:
  • Pick your final project and submit a 1-page proposal before the proposal deadline.
  • Your proposal should detail what exactly you plan to implement.
  • If you plan to implement a method in a paper, your proposal should include a proper citation of this paper.
  • Your proposal will be reviewed, possibly modified, and approved by the instructor.
• Progress Report:
  • Submit a progress report before the progress report deadline.
  • Your progress report will be graded independently.
  • Your progress report must include screen shots or videos of your (incomplete) implementation of your project.
  • The progress report must detail what has been implemented and what will be implemented before the final project deadline.
• Final Presentation:
  • Complete the implementation detailed in your proposal to the best of your ability.
  • Submit your implementation along with a final project report before the final project deadline.
  • Attend BOTH of the final project presentation sessions. The presenters for the day will be determined during the session.
  • You MUST attend both sessions, even if you present during the first session. You might be asked to present again during the second session.
  • You must bring a computer for your presentation that is ready to be connected to the projector in class, or contact the instructor two weeks before the project deadline to request a computer for your presentation.
  • Your presentation should give a short overview of your porject. In particular, your presentation must
    • Be no longer than 5 minutes,
    • Include at least a few screen shots (preferably a short video) from your implementation, or (ideally) an interactive demo,
    • Detail what you have implemented,
    • Include citations of related work (such as the paper you picked for your project), and
    • Mention possible future work.
  • No incompletes or late submissions. Incomplete work can be submitted for partial credit.
