Introduction
Diode is a special interest group(SIG) of

NITK-IEEE which focuses into topics pertaining to electrical , electronic and communication interests.

In the previous academic year DIODE has

taken up workshops on a number of topics such as basic circuit building, Image processing, Simulink, Microcontroller programming(for Atmega and MSP430 platforms) for the first and second year members.
For the present semester we plan to 4/21/12

undertake a number of projects.

List of projects
Our projects focus mainly on 3D image processing, Microcontroller applications, sensor and actuator interfacing and wireless communication. We plan to have the following projects.
1. Key-Glove 2. 3D image stitching 3. Game interface with Kinect. 4. Holographic telepresence. 5. Brushless motor controller

development.

Key glove
The aim of the project is to make an interfacing system which is controlled by the movement of hand and can be interpreted on the PC or physically. We intend to make a handheld device which can interpret hand motion with the help of an IMU. Major Hardware requirements
1. Xbee series 2 x 2 2. AstonGP10D002 -accelerometer-gyroscope

combination

3. Xbee series 2 microcontroller interface

breakout board.

3d Image stitching
3D images are taken in point cloud format using 3d cameras like Kinect, etc. We plan to take multiple point cloud images with partially overlapping spaces, and merge them to form a single 3D image. Major Hardware requirements:
1. Xbox360 Kinect.

Game interface development

Using a software called Robot operating system(ROS) we plan to implement user identification joint tracking. The results obtained would be mapped onto a game. Major Hardware Requirements
1. Xbox360 Kinect.

Holographic telepresence
Using ROS we plan to identify individuals from a real-time 3D video, map them onto another environment and simulate virtual existence of a person in that environment. Major Hardware Requirements
1. Xbox360 Kinect.

Brushless motor controller development

We plan to develop modular controllers for high speed, high torque brushless motors and interface it with other applications such as the Key-glove. Major hardware requirements:
1. Brushless motor (RC 2200 Outrunner

Brushless Motor(2212-6)) glove project.

2. Hardware Requirements of the key-

Conclusion
These project when completed will be presented in a NITK IEEE SIG expo and if possible in Engineer-2011. Upon the completion of all these projects we plan to integrate them to develop a complete application. The projects will be undertaken by the Final and 3rd year members, assisted by the 2nd year members of NITK IEEE.
