Senior Design 1 Acoustic Art by Popcornflower Team –Matthew Clark –Kyle Kearney –Jay Davis –Vincent Tilanus University of Portland School of Engineering Advisor Dr. Karen Ward Industry Representative Mr. Will French (Jive Software)
Senior Design 2 Introduction Acoustic Art will convert images to music. This will serve to create a new method for musical composition. Entering this in the Imagine Cup. University of Portland School of Engineering
Senior Design 3 Scorecard Got FunSpec 1.0 approved Prototyped reading an image in, using C# Prototyped playing a scale, in C# Experiment with image analysis algorithms (grey scale) University of Portland School of Engineering
Senior Design 4 Additional Accomplishments Met with E-Scholar Prototyped playing multiple notes simultaneously Round 1 of the imagine cup Made contact with visually impaired CS professor, Daniel Zingaro Met with Dan Waters about Imagine Cup University of Portland School of Engineering
Senior Design 5 Plans Submit a basic version of our project for Imagine Cup round 2 (Nov. 15) Finish Design Doc versions.9 and.95 Nail down design for 2 composition algorithms Determine interface between analysis and composition University of Portland School of Engineering
