1.)\u00a0 Data Compression<\/p>\n
I am interested in how data is represented as MPEG, JPEG, and other file formats, and how this data can be used to display an image or video.\u00a0 In particular, I am interested in the compression algorithms used to store this data in a smaller space, with little or no loss in the quality of the information.\u00a0 I would explore various lossless and lossy compression algorithms in the paper, and explain their strengths and weaknesses.\u00a0 I could then create some code to illustrate some compression algorithms and how they work.<\/p>\n

2.)\u00a0 3-D Passwords<\/p>\n
While passwords are crucial to how we protect our information, they are also tedious to remember.\u00a0 One interesting alternative is 3-D passwords.\u00a0 The idea is the user is placed in some sort of 3-D environment with various objects that can be interacted with.\u00a0 The user could enter a passwords by interacting with various objects in the environment in a specific sequence.\u00a0 For example, a user might move a chair, head to a thermostat, and then change it to a specific temperature as a way of entering a password.\u00a0 This would be an appealing idea to explore in a project as well.<\/p>\n

3.)\u00a0 Soft Computing<\/p>\n
I was reading about soft computing and the idea seemed interesting and different from other ideas I have encountered so far in computer science.\u00a0 I would be interested in exploring it further, but don\u2019t have a specific idea yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
