This week I accomplished the first major milestone for my MSIS project: completion and acceptance of my project proposal!

This project will be a continuation of research efforts that I first began in Dr. Nitin Agarwal’s Social Computing Class (Spring 2019). During this class, I researched techniques for generating moviebarcodes from downloaded Youtube videos, and then I created a proof of concept user interface. A copy of this research report is provided in my official Project Proposal.

At the conclusion of this project I aim to provide the following:

Project Deliverables

  • Python code development for automated moviebarcode generation that can be performed on Youtube videos
  • A standalone Django app that generates moviebarcodes and can be integrated into the YoutubeTracker application

Project Timeline

  • Optimize moviebarcode generation development (August 19 - September 22)
  • Web application development and testing (September 23 - November 10)
  • Prepare the final documentation (November 11 – November 14)
  • Project defense (November 15)

Going Forward

Now that my project proposal has been accepted by my project committee, I am very excited to officially begin the research and development stage of my project.

Expect an update next week!
