Barrett, The Honors College Thesis/Creative Project Collection
Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.
Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.
For the purpose of exploring alternative uses for Rolplay’s image processing technology, I have developed a scavenger hunt application that utilizes object detection technology. This concept has been chosen out of three different application concepts that have been created during the first semester of the project. The application runs on Android devices and is written in Java. This application contains a camera display window and a button that the user may press to open the list of items. The list will display each item in the list and whether it has been detected from the camera stream. In addition, the list has a refresh button that will generate a new list of items after it is pressed. This is to allow users to either continue searching for items after every item in the current list has been found. or create a new list entirely if they wish to start over. The application will also detect low light status and display a message prompting the user to turn on their flashlight if low light is detected. During the development process, additional modifications have been made according to feedback from users that have tested the app.
