Evaluation method

Evaluation method:

  • 60 % Theoretical component
      • 0,75 * GTT + 0,25 GTM

      •  GTT = Average grade of 2 tests or Exam

      •  GTM = Moodle Theoretical grade

        • average grade of 9 moodle tests of a total of 10
        • Moodle tests are to be done outsitde classes

      • Conditions: GTT >= 9.5 e GTM >= 9.5

  • 40 % Pratical component
    • 80% - 1st Project
    • 20% - 2nd Project

Formula:

     Final Grade = TG * 0,6 + ( PPG1 *0,8 + PPG2 * 0,2 ) * 0,4  

Observations:

  • It is considered a penalty of one value per day of delay in delivery of practical project.
     
  • It is necessary to have at least 9,5 values on each evaluation component (pratical and theoretical).

  

Subject matter

Sensors technology: principles of functioning, acquisition of information, models, analysis of cases (sensors of presence and proximity, force and contact, temperature).

Ultrasounds Sensors: characteristics, processing of low-level sensorial information, feature extraction.

Image processing: from pixels to features, operations over images, segmentation, object detection, feature extraction, measures, analysis of applications.
