NCAA Football Is Here Again
University of Miami started its 2007 campaign on a low note by losing to Florida State University 14-10 on September 4.
This year I am not going to post as many as last season. But I still post a few scores.
At Last - Completed
I am pretty quiet lately.
At last, I have completed my PhD proposal and submitted for evaluation before going for Comprehensive Examination.
IIUM's PhD in Engineering program is a bit wierd, before students can proceed for proposal defence (i.e., comprehensive examination), we need to discuss 5 topics with 5 different potential PhD supervisors - eventhough we already have our main topic to do research on. So, if we want to do a proper job, we need to at least do some research (i.e., literature review) for each five topics. I did that and took me some time to complete.
If approved, I will be sitting for my Comprehensive Exam by end of September 2006 and if go through I will start my research immediately after that. In order to get some sponsorship for my research, I need to complete my TechnoFund application by September 12, 2006.
My area of research? Well, it has to do with
Real Time Object Detection, Object Tracking and Activity Recognition in Video Image Sequence. The application can be in surveillance system such as at airports, can be in automatic film censorship and rating system, and many other areas such as in medical and Military. My interest is more in Military applications.
