ObjectivesThe objective is to develop e-content on Video Processing in such a way that it will have following characterstics.

(a)Technologicaly friendly (b) Learner friendly(c) Learner Centric (d) Teacher friendly

To facilitate a larger segment of interdisciplinary students and teachers for self learning and remote teaching through ICT

To provide useful research material for researchers teachers , practitioners and development of aptitude among students for

research in this field.

3

Why e-content for this subject is required?

To upgrade the knowledge and skills of teacher and student to the latest development in Video Processing.

Limited number of standard books are available that demonstrates the concepts of the subject in easy and interactive manner.

E-contents of the subject are not easily available that serves the requirement of all segments of students and teachers

Practical and project aspects are also not covered by most of the books which is necessary for design of software applications.

For researchers the material is available in scattered nature. An effective resource material and link is required

4

Distinguishing features of this e-contentLess number of the lecture notes and ppts are available for this subject that covers all aspects of this subject. In the proposed e-content an attempt will be made to fill this gap.

Most of the available e-contents are either password protected or designed according to their own requirement. Emphasis is on theory part only (in most cases).The proposed e-content encapsulates the entire domain of this area and covers subjects of UG and PG level.

The proposed e-content will cover all aspects of Video processing. E-contents will be more interactive and animated so that students can understand the concepts easily.

Demonstration of concepts with the help of solved examples, practical assignments, mini and major projects, research materials ( Possible topics, areas and links to resource materials).

Phase- I: Subject Review, Layout of the total e-content and development of e-content for theory part

11

Detailed Literature review. Design and development of e-content for theory part for UG and PG students of Engineering and other related streams in the form of chapter wise PDF documents, PPTs with interactive examples.

Each chapter will also include unsolved practice questions and objective questions with hint and solutions.

Phase- II: Design and development of e-content for practical part

12

e-content for practical part for UG and PG students in the form of chapter wise PDF documents like practical manuals, PPTs with interactive examples as well as some developed software programs that can be downloaded.

Practical assignments will be developed in standard image/video processing software .

Phase- III: Design and development of e-content for some mini projects

13

Some topics of mini projects:Video SamplingVideo Restoration Video EnhancementVideo CompressionVideo SegmentationVideo Annotation Video Watermarking -for copyright protectionVideo authentication, Video compression etc.

E-contents will be in the form of project reports in PDF format, PPTs some demo software programs , which will be helpful for students that will further enhance their knowledge and skill. Students will also be encouraged to develop software using open source software wherever possible.

Phase- IV: Design and development of e-content for Current research topics and approaches

14

The basic objective of this phase will be to make the researchers aware of current research topics and methodologies in this area.The various methodologies for video modeling and processing will be explored.

•Areas of applications of these concepts will include Medical Video , Video retrieval, Video Authentication, Remote Sensing , Object Recognition, Biometrics, Law enforcement agencies related applications etc.•List of links and journals and other resource materials will also be provided.

Deliverables and its possible contribution to the mission

15

Phase (At the end of year)

Deliverables Possible contribution to the mission

I: Ist year • Requirement Analysis Report with detailed framework of e-content.

• 50% e-contents of Phase-I (Theory part) in form of chapter-wise PDF documents, PPTs (Power point presentations) with interactive examples and handouts.

The outcome of Ist

year e-contents will be completely helpful for UG students for theoretical part of the subject.

Deliverables and its possible contribution to the mission

16

Phase (At the end of year)

Deliverables Possible contribution to the mission

I: IInd year •Remaining 50% e-contents of Phase-I (Theory part) in form of chapter-wise PDF documents, PPTs with interactive examples and handouts.•100% e-contents of Phase –II (Practical part) in form of chapter-wise PDF documents, PPTs with interactive examples and handouts as well as some executable MATLAB software programs.

The outcome of IInd year e-contents will be completely helpful for UG and PG students for both theoretical and practical parts of the subject.

Deliverables and its possible contribution to the mission

17

Phase (At the end of year)

Deliverables Possible contribution to the mission

I: IIIrd year 100% e-content of Phase –III for some mini projects in form of project reports in PDF format and PPTs and demonstration software.

It will fulfill the basic objective of this phase that is to make the students aware of using various concepts of this subject and transforming them in term of practical solutions to real time problems and developing research aptitude among them.

Deliverables and its possible contribution to the mission

18

Phase (At the end of year)
