Video/Photo Mashup
Mashup (Wiki)
is a web application that combines data from more than one source into
a single integrated tool.
Here are some examples
Flickrvision (http://flickrvision.com/)
More examples here (http://mashupawards.com/)
There are many possibilities, and you can develop some very interesting
and useful tools.
Content-based
Image Indexing and Retrieval
Managing large image database is very challenging. We take a
content-based approach and want to develop systems that will enable
users to query image databases by visual examples or visual features
such as colour and texture.
In 2004/05 academic year, Ben Bedwell did his FYP on this topic and
developed this system: www.theimagerepository.co.uk,
you can extend, improve this system, or do something very different. In
any case, it will be fun.

If you are interested in doing a project in this area, please come to
see
me, there will be many fun things you can do.
Computational
Photography or Making Beautiful Pictures
Have you ever wondered why the picture quality of some of the photos
you took with
your digital camera was so bad, like the left photo in the follwing
image
Well, by doing this project you will know why, and learn how to correct
this using computational approaches, to produce a "beautiful" picture
like the one on the right in the above image.
