Schedule |
 Supervising faculty
member: Prof.
CHUNG, Albert C.S. |
| Project description
and objectives:
|
|
After
taking photos with
your friends, what
would you do? Just
posting the photos
online? Do you want
to put some special
features on the photos
before posting them?
This workshop aims
at teaching students
to add special effects
on digital photos.
The
image below is the
original image before
applying the effects.
|
|
|
|
|
The following are the
effects that you will
learn to create in the
workshop. |
| 1.
Adding a frame to a photo |
2.
Converting colored photos
to black and white |
| |
 |
 |
| 3.
Filtering a colored photo |
This
function is used to
adjust the intensity
of the three color channels
of a photo. By adjusting
the intensity values
of the photo, some interesting
effects can be obtained.
The following three
pictures are the results
of adjusting the red,
green and blue channels
of a photo respectively. |
| |
 |
| 4.
Flipping a photo |
This
function aims at flipping
the image; both horizontal
flipping and vertical
flipping are possible. |
| |
 |
|
| 5.
Creating a calendar/certificate |
| A
certificate with a photo
or a calendar can be created
by using this function. |
| 6.
Advanced functions |
If
time is allowed, more
enhanced features will
be added, e.g., Intelligent
Scissor, Matting. The
following is an example.
By applying the intelligent
scissor to the first
two photos below, another
photo can be created.
(See images below.) |

Students can use their
own photos or they can
use the GOOGLE search
engine to search necessary
photos. The functions
listed above represent
the current version
of the software. More
functions may be included
if time allows. |
| Language of instruction: |
| |
Cantonese
or English |
| Software tools
/ programming languages
involved: |
| |
This
project will use the
programming language
JAVA. It is a freely
available programming
language which can be
downloaded at http://java.sun.com.
This project will use
the GUI and the image
library of the JAVA.
|
|
Deliverables: |
| |
In
this project, you are
asked to add effects
on images. The image
can be captured by a
digital camera or download
from website.
This
project is divided into
two phases. In the first
phase, you are asked
to read some notes about
basic image processing
concepts and basic programming
skills. In the second
phase, you will be asked
to do the implementation
of the basic image processing
concepts learnt.
|
| Things students
will learn: |
| |
The
main purpose of this
project is to give students
a brief introduction
to digital photo processing.
Also, it gives students
a chance to learn programming
skills in JAVA. |
| Prerequisites:
|
| |
The
only prerequisite is
that you have interest
in image processing
and programming implementation. |
