ECE576 Final projects

Each year, students in Cornellโ€™s ECE 5760 class are tasked to build something with an FPGA, and they always produce some cool projects. This yearโ€™s projects are no different. Here are some of my favorites:

Chuck Yang and Jasper Schneider built a Face tracking + Perspective projection. Their system implements a face detection algorithm to determine the position and orientation of a user, and uses this information to change the perspective of a 3d display.

Chris McNally and Joe Kerekes designed the velocity-sensitive KSD Piano, which uses the Karplus Strong model to generate piano tones. They donโ€™t appear to have an embeddable video of the project, however you can download one here.

James Du and Peter Greczner designed a video production system with green-screen capability. It uses the chroma key technique to replace the background of a video with a different one.

Check out the course website for the rest of the projects. Great show!
