CS377S has three types of coursework requirements.

Readings: Readings are assigned to correspond to each lecture topic. Students should complete the readings before lecture and be prepared to participate in class discussion of the readings.

Individual Assignments: Three individual assignments are required during the first half of the quarter. Each of these assignments has a written portion and an implementation portion. The written portions involve reflection and idea generation based on the assigned readings. The implementation portions are mini-projects that allow students to become familiar with various computer vision tools and techniques.

Project Assignments: During the second half of the quarter, students will form project teams and build a working prototype of a computer vision-based interactive system. This five-week design project includes four milestones: an initial written project proposal, two intermediate checkpoints, and a final presentation and written report.

All assignments are due in class on the date specified.

Students will be graded on the group project, short individual assignments, and class participation, weighted as follows:

• 30% Project Presentation: (team grade) Strength of project concept and implementation, novelty of approach, and appropriateness of scope.
• 20% Project Report: (team grade) Explanation of your ideas, motivation, and related work.
• 30% Individual Assignments: Each individual assignment involves a short written component based on the readings and a mini-project or implementation exercise.
• 20% Participation: Attendance at lectures and team feedback sessions is required and will be reflected in your participation grade.
