FYP Guidelines
Multimedia Computing Programme

FCSIT, UNIMAS

Two Types
1. System/application development
– Games, animation, flash, edutainment.
– Most projects do not have the database component.
– Do not implement any algorithm from CG field.
2. Research-based
– Image analysis and processing.
– Implementation of CG algorithms.
– Sound and video post-processing.

Database and Programming
• Game project still can include the usage of a database:
– for score/player ranking
– to store MM components for scene rendering
• Replace the database component with creativity criteria.
• Flash Programming (script), VRML, XML etc.

Creativity and Interactivity
• Should include some novel creative elements.
• Original drawing/sketching.
• Fully interactive and fun.
• Immersive applications (VR, AR).
• Broadcast-quality 2D/3D animation.

Computing Research Part
• To propose a system/tools to ease/speed up the multimedia
application/design.
• To differentiate between FCSIT and FACA students/project
• Focus on technical, not on creativity.

Proposed Solution – FYP1
Programme level proposal vetting
• Topics need to be discussed at the programme level first.
• To give feedback on the proposed topics.
OR List out the topics
• Students can ONLY pick topics from supervisors.
Poster Session and Correction
• Poster session alone seems to be not really effective.

FYP2 - Proposed Assessment – Form E1&2
