Undergraduate Projects

Online Games World.

Design an online World implementation of a 3-D Maze (like Wumpus) that can be run online with players providing solutions to the maze. The game will be an instance of a World-Wide-Mind service (World) and the Players can write solutions (Minds) to the online world.

Intelligent Sheepdog.

The aim of this project is to investigate the simulation of intelligent moving behaviour using sheep and a sheepdog as the example. A program will be developed to simulate the movement of a flock of sheep and a sheepdog. Autonomous Agents will be used to model the sheep and different activities of the sheep, including basic flocking behaviour. The sheepdog will to be modelled as an Autonomous Learning Agent with a Goal to direct the sheep through a specified target point. Testing of algorithms used for the movement and behaviour of the sheepdog and the sheep to see if they are effective and appropriate in doing this. This project should demonstrate emergent behaviour using appropriate rules for the sheep and for the movement of the sheepdog.

Export Utility for Google Calendar

This project involves writing a tool which can query a MySQL database for a list of dates and times and exporting the resulting list to Google Calendar which will display them in the users account.

Mammographic image processing using wavelet processing techniques

This project involves processing of images using wavelets to enhance the images and further improve detection of cancer. This involves a study on classification of digital mammographic images, using wavelet transform analysis in conjunction with statistical pattern recognition techniques. A comparative evaluation between different wavelet analysis architectures in terms of their classification ability, as well as between different classifiers is to be carried out. The project aims to show if statistical measures clearly distinguish between the normal/abnormal classes, when applied to a large dataset.
