Project Submission Instructions

Getting set up:
1) Go to your project page management site: https://web.engr.illinois.edu/.  Web pages created here will appear at http://web.engr.illinois.edu/~netid.  
2) Click on "file manager" and go to "web root".  Create a folder called "cs445".  Within that, create a folder called "proj1" for your first project.
3) Place a blank or test page called "index.html" in "proj1" and make sure that you can access it at http://web.engr.illinois.edu/~netid/cs445/proj1/, where "netid" is your netid.

Note: You can also access your website through SFTP.  E.g., I use WinSCP with SFTP to access web.engr.illinois.edu (port 22), username dhoiem.  

Submission Overview: Project description and results should be described in a file called index.html and posted to the appropriate projects directory with any supporting media files.  Do not post any source code.  Then, submit your homework on Compass including: text specifying the link to your project; text with breakdown of points you expect to receive; attachment "netid_proj#.zip" of your zipped code.  When you submit, your project page should be complete -- if not, we will consider it a day late. 

For each project you should:
1) Post your project web page to "web.engr.illinois.edu/~netid/cs445/proj#/index.html" where "#" is replaced by "1", "2", "3", "4", or "5", depending on the project.  Try to keep each project page under 10MB so that people can see the page in a reasonable amount of time.  You can use .jpg compression and web-scale resolutions to keep image size down and post large videos via YouTube for streaming.  Be sure to check that the page is working.
2) Include a thumbnail image at web.engr.illinois.edu/~netid/cs445/proj#/thumbnail.jpg.  Typically, the thumbnail should be your favorite result, something that is unique to your project, as it will be used on the class results page. The thumbnail does not need to be displayed within your project page. 
3) Submit code/text via Compass.  
  Code: Zip the code in a file called "netid_proj#.zip", where "netid" is your netid and attach.  
  Text: In text, also say how many points you expect to receive for the regular assignment (up to 100) and any extra points from bells and whistles.  This will help to avoid misunderstandings.  
  

What to include in the projects page:
This does not need to be a comprehensive report.  Include your results and any parameters or special things that you tried.  The page should be sufficiently clear so that the professor, TAs, and other students can easily understand what your results mean and how you got them.  You don't need to include a lengthy introduction or detailed description.  

Any problems:
Please try this out early and let me know of any problems.  

Computing Resources:
See http://ews.illinois.edu/ for a list of computing labs.  You should have account access with Matlab and the image processing toolbox.
