The Early Prototype Proposal is designed to help students explore potential project topics and form the right groups. In this proposal, each student should outline their initial project idea and express their interest in the listed papers. Focus on summarizing your project at a high level, avoiding technical details. The goal of this proposal is to communicate your interests and project ideas to facilitate group formation. Students can change their topics as the project progresses. Submitted proposals will be published on the course website and shared with other students. Feel free to reach out to classmates who share similar ideas to form a group.
Deadline September 22th, 2025: Submission Link
The Early Prototype Proposal must include the following:
Student Name
NetID
Project Type (choose from IMU/Audio/Image/Video)
Abstract (no more than 500 characters)
The Early Prototype Proposal should clearly state a single idea and goal and be written in full sentences. A low-quality proposal will not receive the full credit.
Student Name: Thomas Moon
NetID: tmoon
Project Type (choose from IMU/Audio/Image/Video): IMU
Abstract: This project will focus on using IMU sensors to track and log a user’s exercise movements. One or more IMU sensors will be used to detect and classify the motion of a tablet during exercise with the help of Kalman filter. The goal is to implement a basic machine learning algorithm, leveraging DSP techniques, to improve the accuracy of movement tracking and classification.
Below is a list of widely used and popular DSP algorithms commonly implemented in real-time DSP systems. Students are also welcome to choose papers or topics outside of this list. If you select a topic not included in the list, you are required to consult with the teaching staff.
