2. DECLARATION
We hereby declare that this submission is our own work and that, to
the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material
previously published or written by another person nor material
which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or
diploma of the university or other institute of higher learning, except
where due acknowledgment has been made in the text.

3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to express our gratitude to everyone involved
with this project and making it a success so far. We would like
to thank the Department of Computer Science and Information
Technology of JIIT, Noida for giving us the permission to
commence this project.
A sincere thanks to our project supervisor Dr. Vikas Saxena for
providing us with the opportunity to work under him and
helping us learn, grow and benefit from his expertise and
immense experience. We thank him for his patient hearing of
our ideas and opening up our minds to newer horizons.
Last, but not the least, we would like to thank our family and
friends who have supported us at testing times and helped us
progress along the way.

4. SUMMARY
The project helps in making the education system much more
efficient. A projected image is edited with the help of a laser
pointer and a camera. The motion of laser pointer is detected to
select a part of the image. The selected image can be translated
to a new location in the image. On selection an option is given to
user to replace or override from its new location. The original
image if overridden is replaced from its original location with
neighboring pixel intensity.

5. Problem Statement-
The necessity to make the education system much smoother and
efficient is the prime requirement of the project. It deals with the
brand new technique of processing a projected image
dynamically in real time. It aims at helping the tutor to make his
task much easier and efficient. The project creates a way to
select a part of the image with a laser pointer. The selected
image can then be transported to a user defined different location
of the image. The part of the image which has been transported
now remains vacant and will be filled by its surrounding
background colours or will be replaced

6. Findings
The editing of projected image makes the presentation much
more convenient to explain.
The light conditions affect the pixel value and the intensity of the
colours a lot making them a totally different colour in absence of
light.
The resolution of the camera used should be equal or more than
the projected image size or it may lead to some distortion.
With proper technological advances a lot can be done to bring
new improvements in the methodological ways of teaching

7. Conclusion
The traditional “chalk and talk” method of teaching that’s persisted for
hundreds of years is now acquiring inferior results when compared with the
more modern and revolutionary teaching methods that are available for use.
New methods of teaching have the purpose to improve the quality of
education and involve students in educational process. Innovations mean a
progress and development. The idea is to get students engaged and to
connect their learning to the real world. As teachers, it’s necessary to be
able to teach and remain engaging. It puts a greater level of responsibility
on creating lesson plans that truly work. If teachers can show them how
what they are teaching connects to the real world then their own brain cells
are going to connect them and associate them. Teachers also find it easier
as they can keep their lesson plans and simply go over them again with a
more personal touch

8. Future work
We have planned the following things to do in future.
The Menu will have much more options inside to make it more
comfortable to use. One would be to save the changes made. The
second would be to give a pencil to write in a rough space provided next
to it. The third would be to provide some general information about the
selected portion.
A rough space is made virtually to the left of the slide. A pen can be used
over that space to explain things better.
The expand option would provide details about the selected part by
searching about it in the net and applying proper data retrieval
techniques.
We also plan to make the UI much more convenient by providing a save
button.
