For example, “Valverde et al. [2] developed a transfer learning-based CNN model for automatic glaucoma classification. The authors used color fundus images from DRISHTI-GS and RIM-ONE datasets. They preprocessed the images and applied five CNN models with transfer learning techniques. Among these, the VGG-19 model showed the best result with an AUC of 94% with a sensitivity and specificity score of 87.01% and 89.01%, respectively.”] [Discuss the research limitations in the existing articles. For example, “The following observations have been made after a detailed examination of the literature reviews − (i) most of the articles employed an individual open-source or custom Bangla sign language dataset of small size, (ii) in general, the articles did not utilize multiple deep learning techniques and compared their performances, and (iii) there is an absence of deploying the sign language detection into an embedded device for real-time analysis. These investigations have motivated us to implement a Bangla sign language detection system in this paper using combined open-source and custom datasets and apply three deep learning approaches (Detectron2, EfficientDet-D0, and YOLOv7). Finally, the YOLOv7 Tiny has been implemented in a Jetson Nano edge device for real-time Bangla sign language recognition.”] 15 Chapter 3 Methodology 3.1 System Design [Describe the project’s design via flowchart, block diagram(s), schematics, database design, UML diagram, etc.] 3.2 Hardware and/or Software Components [Describe the utilized software and hardware components to implement the project. For example, for an AI-related project, students can write about the dataset, EDA, preprocessing techniques, applied AI/ML/DL models, feature selection, hyperparameter optimization techniques, etc. For a hardware project, students can write about various individual components/modules/sensors, used microcontrollers, communication techniques, etc. For a software project, students can write about the developed front-end and back-end designs, employed data management tools, security techniques, etc. Students can add a similar table on employed software and/or hardware tools below:] Table I. List of Software/Hardware Tools Tool Functions Other similar Tools (if any) Why selected this tool 3.3 Hardware and/or Software Implementation [Briefly describe the implementation of the hardware that may include PCB design, assembly of the components, etc. or the implementation of the software modules that may include modeling, simulations, application development, etc.] 16 Chapter 4 Investigation/Experiment, Result, Analysis and Discussion [Describe the experiments performed addressing all the variables, various results of the project with appropriate figures, tables and texts. The tables and figures should contain appropriate brief captions. Figures should contain appropriate axis labels and legends. The tables and figures should be cited in the project. Perform in-depth analyses of the results represented by each of the figures and tables and finally perform a constructive discussion on the outcome.] 17 Chapter 7 Complex Engineering Problems and Activities 7.1 Complex Engineering Problems (CEP) [Describe the Complex Engineering Problems (CEP) attributes related to this project.
