Previous Projects (before 2018)
- People Number Statistics System in Video Surveillance
  Feb., 2017
  
  Programming Background: A software system based on C and Opencv. Through several types of image operate technology to handle the image, besides the continuity is important as well.
  
  Details: Adaboost algorithm has been selected as the main algorithm to complete a classifier. Haar-like feature is the main thought to distinguish face and non-face.
- Depth Detection and Early Warning System for Submarine
  Sep., 2016
  
  Programming Background: A hardware program programed by Verilog and C++, then burn into a FPGA demo board, besides some different types of chips will be use in this system.
  
  Details: Using control word to operate some chips, like 82c55a,82c51a,82c53a and A/ D chip. Implement the whole process including produce the analog signals , transport the signals, analyse the signals and transport the signals back.
- Human Resources Management System
  Sep., 2016
  
  Programming Background: A computer software program programed by Java with the user interface programed by a Java package named swing. Select Sqlserver for the tool to operate the date base.
  
  Details: Through a java API named jdbc to connect Java program and the date base so that the user can operate the date base like insert, delete, search and update through the program.
- Students Information Management System
  May., 2016
  
  Programming Background: A computer software program programed by Java with the user interface programed by a Java package named swing.
  
  Details: Through the program programed by Java to operate the excel file , like insert, delete and search. Then program an user interface to operate the system easily.
- MIPS CPU design
  Feb., 2016
  
  Programming Background: Design and test a simple CPU by using logsim which is suitable for MIPS.
  
  Details:
  
  Connect each circuit elements.
  
  Design the memory and arithmetic unit.
  
  Design a simple CPU by only one cycle
  
  Update the one cycle CPU into a naive five stage RISC pipeline CPU
  
  Improve the naive five stage RISC pipeline CPU into a classical five stage RISC pipeline CPU by avoiding hazards(Structural hazards and Data hazards).
- Course Experiment of Operating System
