CMP 161 -- Winter 2003

CMP 161 -- Programming Assignment 4

Due date:
11:00am, Friday, 3/14/2003

Objective:

Investigate a data set using a barrage of visualization techniques.

To Do:

Investigate the ``Liquid Oxygen Post'' data set using VTK (or Opendx) by processing the data further to extract any feature that may be interesting, apply visualization techniques to the data or derived data, summarize results/findings
Write a report about the whole process.
Getting started. Two data sets (including the Liquid Oxygen Post data) and some sample programs are available here to help you get started.

Grading:

This program nominally accounts for 5% of your final grade. Assignments turned in at least a full day early will earn 1% bonus credit. Late assignments will be charged 1% late points. In addition, late assignments will not be accepted 24 hours past due date. Late programs and reports will not be accepted for the final project. The bonus credits may be accumulated up to a total of 50% toward program and final project credits.

Note that this assignment is quite different from the previous ones in the sense that the grading emphasis is not so much on the code you write but on how you apply techniques to a problem. See the grading guide .

Submit an html page with description and images of your project's output. More importantly description of your findings about the data set should be included. Make sure the links are all local and relative to your submit directory. Well documented code, network, makefile, README file, etc.

Submission:

Create and submit a subdirectory called "prog4". It should contain all the files you have to make your program compile/run. Include the other items to be submitted in this directory as well. Submission must be done using the submit utility from CATS.

To submit use: submit cmps161-ap.w03 prog4 files
To verify submission use: peek cmps161-ap.w03 prog4

These commands should work from any cats machine, but if there is a problem try from unix.ic.
