  In line with the coronavirus precautions and Cornell policy here will be no classes and no required assignments for the next three weeks. The following are my plans for the course which are still a work-in-progress and subject to change. I will make updates on progress on this web page.
  1. Classes I am working on plans for virtual instruction that will start in three weeks. At this time, the plan is to have a zoom meeting for the class in the same time period. I expect to be recording these zoom sessions.
  2. Communication I plan to be working at home for much of the next three weeks. I suggest that you email me if you want to discuss any class issues with me; please put 5780 somewhere in the email title. I will regularly check my email. If you would like to discuss something face-to-face with me then mention times when you are available in your email and I will schedule a zoom meeting with you.
  3. Computer Resources The workstations in Phillips Rm 314 will not be available to the class. However, on-line access to the ECE servers should work as usual. Also, lab 6 may be completed on the class VM on your personal computer. I expect that most projects will be hosted on the ECE web servers. Program development may be done on servers or personal computers.
  4. Lab 6 The are now two version of Lab 6: C and python. You may do either one but be aware that the new python version has had limited testing and there is the possibility of bugs or typos. Most of lab 6 (parts 1,2 and 4) may be done at any time. Please wait until I have made available notes on 3D edge detection before attempting section 3.
  5. Group Projects I expect thaat some students will want to take advantage of the next weeks to get good start on the project. I suggest that you establish group virtual meetings by zoom or an equivalent. Further, please elect a group member (liaison) that will connect with me after each meeting to keep me in the loop.
  6. Project Proposal The next deliverable for the course will be the group (draft) project proposal documents. That is, submit a draft proposal presentation in powerpoint, and a draft proposal report (word or pdf) to Canvas. I will set up Canvas so that you can submit multiple drafts (for my comments). Remember I am an informal member of your group.
  7. Project Data I expect that some students will want to take advantage of the next weeks to get good start on the project. A critical step in starting a project is to understand the data format both for images and their documentation. I can help with this and I would like to see examples of your data set before you spend a lot of time working on it. Please have the liaison group member contact me and share data samples with me as soon as they are available.
