You must turnin four items for your final project:

• Final Report (6 pages). Details below.
• Source code with README. Details below.
• Demo video of project (1-2 minutes). Details below.
• Each group member should e-mail me indvidually and tell me what percentage you feel each group member contributed.

Final Report (Due Thursday, May 2nd at 12:30 pm)

• Each group should turn in one copy of the final report.
• The final report should be at least 6 pages double spaced.
• To the extent possible, it should be written as if it were a conference paper such as the ones you read for class, meaning it should have an abstract, sections, citations, and at least one figure or table.
• Make sure the report has a good abstract (about 1 paragraph) that summarizes the project and the report. Someone should be able to read the abstract and understand the main goal of your project. This abstract will also be attached to your video, so it should be readable on its own.
• The report should be detailed and fully explain your project. It is in place of a final exam and will be a large factor in your final grade for the project and for the course.
• Team members should clearly identify what their roles have been in relation to the overall project.
• Reports must have at least 3 citations with full bibliographic references. You should explain how your project compares with similar related works.
• Be very clear about what code you've used from other sources, if any. Clear citations are essential. Failure to credit ideas and code from external sources is cheating.
• The report should not be a story about your path to the final result. It should read like the academic papers we have read in class.
• Include a link to where your source code is available on github. See below.
• Make sure you evaluate both the good and bad points of your approach.
• Show results of at least one experiment evaluating some aspect of your approach (or perhaps your entire approach, depending on your project). Even if you didn't accomplish your goal, evaluate what you did do. For example, you should show how often your code correctly detects a person/gesture, or how accurate it's localization is, etc.
• If any parameters are mentioned in the report, be sure to mention how you arrived at their values. Was it the first thing you tried? Trial and error? Roughly how many trials? etc.
• Remember to proofread and spell-check!
• Please turn in one hard copy of the report at the beginning of class, and one via turnin in pdf format (with grader shweta and hw name final).
• The grade will be based both on the content of your report (i.e. what you did) and the presentation (i.e. how you motivate it, explain it, and connect it to the related work).

Source Code (Due Thursday, May 2nd at 12:30 pm)

• One of the goals of this class is to contribute code to the BWI project. Towards this goal, you must provide your source code in a way that we (or future students) can easily use and integrate into the codebase.
• Create a public github repository for your code and commit your code ot it. View these slides for help with git and github.
• Include a README file with directions on how to install and run your code. What nodes or launch files need to be run? What parameters need to be passed to the code? What external nodes or packages are required? Ideally, provide example commands that could be used to run your project.
• Provide a link to the location of your code on github in your final report, and with your demo video

Demo Video (Due Friday, May 10th, at 5 pm)

• It is important that future instructors and students in this course can see what you have done, so that they can decide whether to continue your projects, integrate them into the current project codebase, or just as example projects for future classes. In order to do so easily, you will make short videos that explain and demonstrate your project.
• The video should be 1-2 minutes in length.
• In the video, you should explain what your project is and what its goal is.
• You should demonstrate your project on the video (i.e. show the robot doing something, show a visualization, etc.).
• The videos will be very similar to what you showed in demos in class
• Each video should have a title slide at the beginning that shows the project name, your names, and then the class name and my name at the bottom.
• Each group member should speak on the video.
• Please post your videos on youtube.
• In the description of the video on youtube. Please put:
  • The project title.
  • Your names.
  • The class name and my name.
  • The abstract from your final report.
  • A link to your github source code.
• Post the link to the video on Piazza by 5pm on May 10th.
• I will create a youtube playlist of all the demo videos to be shared with the next instructor of the course and future course students.
