Exp19 Excel Ch12 CapAssessment Teaching Schedule

 Excel  Chapter 12 Teaching Schedule 

  

Project Description:

You have just started your first career as a high school teacher. To jump start your planning process, you would like to create a teaching schedule template to help plan your weekly tasks. You will create a template, create custom macros to automatically insert dates, and inspect the document for issues.

     

Start Excel. Download   and open the file named   EXP19_Excel_CH12_Cap_Assessment_TeachingSchedule.xlsx. Grader has   automatically added your last name to the beginning of the filename. 

 

Clear all data   validation in the range A1:G19.

 

Delete the sample   text in cell B2.

 

Type Teaching   Schedule in   cell B1.

 

Type prepared   by:   in cell F1.

 

Delete the value in   cell G1.

 

Add the following   comment in cell G1 Enter Name.

 

Type Monday in cell C4 and use   the fill handle to fill the range D4:G4 with the remaining days of the week. 

 

Use the document   inspector to inspect the document. Remove document properties and personal   information and then click close.
 

  Note: Mac users, from the Excel menu, open your preferences, click Security,   and then click the check box to Remove personal information from this file on   save.

 

Use the accessibility   checker to check the document for issues. Accept the recommended actions for   merged cells and use the recommended action to select Rose, Table Style   Medium 23. Close the accessibility checker pane.

 

Record a macro named ClearSchedule using the shortcut   CTRL+SHIFT+J. Add the description When run, this macro clears the values in   the schedule (no period). When run, the macro should delete the values in   cell G1 and in the ranges C3:G3, C5:G6, C8:G9, C11:G12, C14:G15, C17:G19, in   that order.

 

Create a form control   button that fills cell F2, ensuring that the button does not overlap with any   other cells. Assign the ClearSchedule macro and edit the button text to Clear.

 

Create a form control   button that fills cell G2, ensuring that the button does not overlap with any   other cells. Edit the button text to Insert Dates.

 

Open the VBA editor   and create a new module named DateStamp. Create a procedure named InsertDate. Add a blank line   after the procedure name, and then insert the comment Inserts   weekly dates, then enter the following code Range(“C3:G3”) =   Array(Date, Date + 1, Date + 2, Date + 3, Date + 4) and exit the VBA   editor.

 

Assign the InsertDate   macro to the Insert Dates form control button.

 

Test both macros and   then open the VBA editor. Locate the module containing the ClearSchedule   macro. Copy the code and paste it starting in cell B2 in the Code worksheet.   Each line of code should be in its own row in the worksheet.

 

Locate the module   containing the InsertDate macro. Delete any blank lines between the comment   and End Sub, and then copy the code and paste it starting in cell D2. Each   line of code should be in its own row in the worksheet.

 

Check the document   for compatibility with Excel 2010, 2013, and 2016.
 

  Note: Mac users, skip this step.

 

Save EXP19_Excel_CH12_Cap_Assessment_TeachingSchedule   as a macro-free workbook and close it. Exit Excel. Submit the file as   directed.

Python Project

 In many of computer vision applications, the gray levels of pixels belonging to the object are substantially different from the gray levels of the pixels belonging to the background. Therefore, image thresholding technique is instrumental to the success of many image processing applications. As the input images might be taken at different times of the day, a fixed threshold may not work for different illumination conditions. For this reason, an adaptive thresholding method needs to be incorporated automatically. Otsu has developed a comprehensive statistical technique to find the best threshold for an image. He proposed a criterion for maximizing the between-class variance of pixel intensity to perform image thresholding. This method is accurate for images which contain two distinct classes. On the other hand, to efficiently find the optimal threshold the adaptive progressive thresholding (APT) approach is used as an extension of the Otsu’s technique. 1. Write a program to implement the Otsu’s adaptive thresholding technique. Obtain the optimum threshold for segmenting the region of interest (dark object region with respect to a bright background) and create a binary image. Test and evaluate the algorithm on sample images of different types (single object, multiple objects, different lighting and backgrounds etc., see Project-Data) 2. Write a program to implement the adaptive progressive thresholding (APT) technique. Obtain the optimum final threshold for segmenting the region of interest (dark object region with respect to a bright background) and create a binary image. Test and evaluate the algorithm on sample images of different types (single object, multiple objects, different lighting and backgrounds etc., see Project-Data) Notes: • The project should be implemented in Python. • Only one single file should be submitted through Blackboard for evaluation, which includes: ✓ The project report that includes the methodology, equations used, implementation results and discussion, conclusion, appropriate technical references, etc. ✓ The program codes along with the dataset used for testing and validation. • Late submissions will not be accepted. • Email submissions will not be accepted.
