Smart Cameras for Human Detection and Tracking

Brief Description: The use of surveillance cameras has increased considerably in recent years. Since manual monitoring of surveillance scenes is labor intensive and not cost effective, the need of automatic processing of images has rapidly grown, and as a consequence, Smart Cameras with processing capabilities have started to appear in the market. The objective of this Project is to develop an algorithm and implement it in real-time using DSP, for the detection and tracking of people moving in a surveillance scene.
Level of Difficulty: High
Background: Digital Image Processing, DSP Programming
Number of Students: 2 (Hernán Haimovich and Luis Romero)
Year: 2001

DSP-based distorsion attenuation of audio systems

Brief Description: The objective of the project is the digital implementation of algorithms for the real-time compensation of the distorsion introduced by nonlinearities in electroacoustic transducers in audio systems.
Level of Difficulty: High
Background: System Identification, Digital Signal Processing, DSP Programming
Number of Students: 2 (Lisandro Boggio and Carlos Lana)
Year: 2001

Digital Programmable Hearing Aid

Brief Description: The objective of the project is to develop a prototype which is programmable digitally according to the patient's audiogram. The project will also involve the implementation of different compression and noise reduction algorithms to improve speech intelligibility in a noisy environment.
Level of Difficulty: High
Background: Digital Signal Processing, Acoustics, DSP Programming
Number of Students: 2 (Juan Schuman and Helio Hild)
Year: 2002

Iris Recognition System

Brief Description: The objective of the project is to develop a prototype of an Iris Recognition System based on a standard digital camera.
Level of Difficulty: High
