Topic this year
Robot Car Race – Augmented Reality
To enable first person experience in a real car race Not just a computer game, real robot cars are racing and
controlled by you Control a robot car as if sitting inside the car
Augmented reality (AR) is a field of computer research which deals with the combination of real-world and computer-generated data Different from Virtual reality (VR) – simulate the real world by
computer-generated data
In this project, live video will be combined with 3D graphics in a robot car race

Things to do Learn the features, working principle and implementation methods
of different sub-systems required in this project A series of lab exercises will guide you to achieve the minimum
of the project requirement
Find a partner to form a group Compete in the qualifying round of the robot car racing Summarize the experience and devise better solutions to improve
the performance of your car You are asked to prepare a progress report to indicate your plan
Improve your programs and compete in the final round of the robot car racing You are also required to make a presentation and a final report
(Web page) to elaborate your improvement work and the resultDepartment of ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION ENGINEERING

The OGRE 3D Graphics Engine
OGRE stands for Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine OO interface designed to minimize the effort required to
render 3D scenes Independent of 3D implementation e.g. Direct3D, OpenGL,
Glide etc.
Department of ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION ENGINEERING
Introduction by Dr Daniel Lun
Contain example frameworks Common requirements for 3D
rendering are done for the user automatically
16
Windows DirectShow®
DirectShow® is a middleware architecture that provides a pipeline for media playback and capture
DirectShow uses filters to manage and manipulate multimedia data
Filters perform actions, such as parsing, decoding, formatting, or rendering, on a multimedia streams
One can create their own filters for video processing

Why project management?
A project involves the interaction of different parties
A project will be successful only if all parties do their job right
By having good project management, we can Achieve the project goal on time and within the budget Keep customers (e.g., Professors) happy Keep the team focus on the goal and work well Everyone shares the load

Project Planning
The process of project development is full of uncertainties
The more uncertainties you have, the less possible that the project can be successful
Uncertainties can be reduced by having a good feasibility study before the project Background research Understand the resource required and acquired Risk analysis
The feasibility study has been prepared for you in the lab exercises
Department of ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION ENGINEERING
Introduction by Dr Daniel Lun
29
Requirement Analysis The purpose is to identify and document the exact
requirements for the project Much interaction must take place between the
customer (e.g. Professor) and the developer (e.g. students)
Should be well documented since very often it serves as an agreement of the functions that will be provided by the system developed The document is sometimes called user specifications or
functional specifications May form the basis for project commissioning
Your progress report should contain the above items
Department of ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION ENGINEERING
Introduction by Dr Daniel Lun
30
System design and specification Split into two sub-phases: architectural and detailed design Architectural design
Define the overall organization of the system in terms of high-level components and their interaction
Detailed design Lower level modules in each component and their interfaces
Example: In software development Architectural design – the function and relationship of classes Detailed design – the internal modules and interfaces of each
class Should be well documented
The document is sometimes called technical specifications Your progress report should contain the above items
Department of ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION ENGINEERING
Introduction by Dr Daniel Lun
31
Implementation – Work breakdown
Split project into tasks and estimate time and resources required to complete each task
Organize tasks concurrently to make optimal use of workforce
Minimize task dependencies to avoid delays caused by one task waiting for another to complete
Should be detailed in the progress and final report

Resource Management About how to manage the manpower, time and
facilities required in the project Some bad practices of students:
“We didn’t allocate task to members since we work together all the time.”
A very bad practice. Will get very low marks in project management
“There’s not a leader in our team. We always make decision together.”
For small team, the role of leader may not be very obvious. But I would still suggest you to find a leader in the team so as to practice the way of managing large projects. Besides, it can also give you convenience particularly if there is dispute among members.Department of ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION ENGINEERING
Introduction by Dr Daniel Lun
34
Resource Management“My team member didn’t do anything. I decided to leave him alone. The
work submitted was done by me.” See, finding suitable manpower is very important. That team
member certainly will fail, since team members will be individually assessed. The marks of the group in project management will also be deducted since the project leader failed to estimate the risk at the planning stage and make appropriate contingency measure.
“The demo is tomorrow. I have finished everything at home already today. I just need to change the IP address in the program then it will run in the lab.”
Last year many students tried this but found that at the end the program simply could not compile and run. Remember, unless you have seen your program ever run correctly in the lab, never assume any result you get at home can be repeated in the lab.

Introduction by Dr Daniel Lun
35
Resource Management“It is very troublesome to book the Interactive Multimedia Lab. We plan
to do the project at home.” Last year many students failed to deliver their project just
because they did not spend enough time in the lab. There are many sub-systems in the project that their realization can only be done in the lab (DE505a). This year we will count the time that the teams spent in the lab as one of the assessment criteria for project management.
“Our team was very busy in many different things so we skipped all the lab works. But we managed to use the last week to finish everything and made a good demo of our robot.”
Assume that you are doing this project for your customer. If I were the customer of your project, I would never hire your team to do project again! All customers want to see both progress and result. So your marks in project management will be deducted.

Some Useful Advices The lab exercises serve as the background studies to
prepare you to finish the project Not an extra work but a part of your project Remember to finish them all by yourselves
Don’t wait until the last week to do your project Software will not work if you develop it in a rush Many teams failed to do the demo last year just because
of that This is not a computer science project but a computer
engineering project Is not implemented with your computer only Involve many sub-systems that may not work as you
desired if you don’t really try them in the lab Department of ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION ENGINEERING
