Aim
The aim of the course is to provide a deeper understanding of how smart camera systems can be designed based on systems on circuits (SoC), image sensors, optical components, and network communication.
Course objectives
After completion of the course the student should be able to:
- Analyze complex problems where a clear optimal solution is missing,
- Plan, document and perform a limited project assignment,
- Integrate an image sensor and optics with a (system on chip) SoC using programmable logic,
OR implement functions for image analysis on a SoC such that a camera becomes smart from a given problem,
- Apply methods for verification and debugging of programmable logic and software.
Content
The course covers:
- Deeper studies of one area within the field of smart camera systems,
- Project in smart cameras oriented towards a specific area,
- Elements of independent analysis, systematic problem solving, and implementation.
Entry requirements
Electrical Engineering MA, Embedded Computing, 9 credits; alternatively 60 credits in Electrical Engineering (BA) including introductory courses in C-programming, VHDL and design of system on chip.
Selection rules and procedures
The selection process is in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance and the local order of admission.
Teaching form
Students are working on individual project assignments where all projects are contributing to a common thematic scope. The course begins with a lecture where the purpose and goals of the course are presented together with a specification of the project tasks. Teacher will provide feedback on student's progression at regular project meetings and provide supervision to guide and support students in their work.
The estimated amount of work for the whole course is 200 hours. This means that in addition to scheduled teaching activities, students must independently perform extensive studies and work on the project assignment.
Examination form
O101: Oral presentation of project assignment, 1.5 Credits
Grade scale: Fail (U) or Pass (G)
P101: Project with documentation, 6 Credits
Grade scale: Seven-grade scale, A, B, C, D, E, Fx and F. Fx and F represent fail levels.
