# Project Proposal

Title: Application of Machine Learning for computer vision recognition of welds to align a mobile weld scanning robot.

# Background

  • Who is the project for?
  • What do they currently do?
  • Why are they undertaking the project?
  • How does it fit in with the rest of what they currently do?
  • This may look significantly different if the project is not commissioned by an agency/sponsor
    • may need to be established through literature review.

TIP

So who is the project for. So this is your stakeholder holder you're describing the stakeholder, you know, who is the project for what do they currently do your sponsor. Why are they undertaking this project and

How does this fit with the rest of you know their, their business. So if you know you. They may not be exactly the point that you are trying to address. But essentially, this is the big picture of, of, you know, the background. And by the way, there is a, you know.

so this is this is sort of like the introduction, the background so that people who was reading this project proposal actually understand the context.

What is the motivation of this project. Why are we doing this work is the context because other people actually understand that.

# Aims and objectives

# Aim - general statement on what you are trying to achieve

# Objectives - is more specific target set in order to achieve the goal, may have more than one.

The aim is what you want to achieve, and the objective describes how are you going to achieve that aim.

A concise description of the research questions and methodology.

TIP

Okay. And I'll give you examples. So the aim. So it's a it's a sort of like a general statement on what you're trying to achieve. Okay, why does the objective is in order to achieve that aim, what are the things that you are going to

See example of Aim on the slides

# Work Plan

TIP

  • Identify several blocks of work that need to be done in order to achieve the objectives of the project.
    1. Why. Describe the objective of the block of work. Why are you planning to do this piece of work?
    2. What/How. Briefly outline how you will go about i.e. What you are planning to do?
    3. Measurable. If you can try to make the objective measurable.

# Detailed Experimental Plan

TIP

  • “The RSS at the photodiode will be measured and recorded at multiple locations while the receiver orientation is changed at each location”
  • Discuss the details (can use a diagram)
    • The RSS at the photodiode will be measured and recorded for 32 locations by varying the distance and radial direction from the luminaire
    • For each location, the orientation of the receiver will be changed at 10‐degree interval to record 36 RSS values for each position
    • The experiments will be repeated for 3 different models of photodiodes

# Time Budget

TIP

  • The work plan describes what and why you are going to do a piece of work The time budget tells us when you are going to do it.
  • It can also be used to show dependency of one block on another.
  • It can also highlight the critical path
  • The time budget and work plan can be explicitly linked by the use of common headings
  • The time budget can be used to indicate intensity of effort at any particular time
  • Use Microsoft Project or a spreadsheet planner (Gantt Charts)

# Budget (Cost)

TIP

  • This should also link in with your work plan
  • Typical expenses:
    • Equipment
    • Consumable
    • Preparation and printing of the dissertation and reports
    • Travel
    • Publication Cost
    • Personnel time
  • Please discuss with supervisor
