Objectives

To endow the pupils with knowledge on characteristics and applications of sensors of diverse types and to deepen their knowledge about image processing.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge in Electric Circuits Theory, Eletronics and Programming languages, namely, C or C# (C sharp) are recommended.

Subject matter

Sensors technology: principles of functioning, acquisition of information, models, analysis of cases (sensors of presence and proximity, force and contact, temperature).

Ultrasounds Sensors: characteristics, processing of low-level sensorial information, feature extraction.

Image processing: from pixels to features, operations over images, segmentation, object detection, feature extraction, measures, analysis of applications.

Teaching method

Theoretical classes for presentation of the basic concepts and practical classes for the development of small exercises that explore the underlying concepts.

The practical classes will be based on guidelines previously provided to guide the students in the preparation of the practical exercises.

Evaluation method

Evaluation method:

  • 60 % Theoretical component
      • 0,75 * GTT + 0,25 GTM

      •  GTT = Average grade of 2 tests or Exam

      •  GTM = Moodle Theoretical grade

        • average grade of 9 moodle tests of a total of 10
        • Moodle tests are to be done outsitde classes

      • Conditions: GTT >= 9.5 e GTM >= 9.5

  • 40 % Pratical component
    • 80% - 1st Project
    • 20% - 2nd Project
Formula:

     Final Grade = TG * 0,6 + ( PPG1 *0,8 + PPG2 * 0,2 ) * 0,4  

Observations:

  • It is considered a penalty of one value per day of delay in delivery of practical project.
     
  • It is necessary to have at least 9,5 values on each evaluation component (pratical and theoretical).
