(FYP 1 LOGBOOK) SMART CAR PARKING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING MATLAB AND IMAGE PROCESSING

REPORT DRAFT SUBMISSION The content of the report must be thoroughly reviewed. I used a plagiarism detector to ensure that my proposal had less than 30% plagiarism. My proposal passed the test plagiarism checker with a 15% plagiarism index, which is less than what is required.

  REPORT WRITING CHAPTER 3 For this week, I continued the report writing by doing the methodology for Chapter 3 of the project. This chapter discusses the methodology of the Smart Car Parking Management System using MATLAB and Image Processing, and the methods that will be applied to prepare this project. This chapter consists of MATLAB software, a block diagram, a flow chart, project benefit and a Gantt chart. 

  FYP PROPOSAL DEFENCE PRESENTATION DAY For the FYP project defence presentation, the students are divided into groups. I was placed in group 3. The assessors are Dr. Suhaimi Bahisham and Sir Kamalulfaizin Mohd Suhut. The presentation was done online via Microsoft Teams. After the presentation, there was a question-and-answer session. The questions were asked by the assessors based on the project of the students. The assessors also commented on the student's projects to help improve the projects.

  PREPARATION FOR FYP PRESENTATION A week before the FYP1 proposal defence day, I prepared the presentation slides based on the research that is done. The slides are based on the rubric given by the FYP coordinators. The slides are a summary of the project to be done for FYP2. After finishing the presentation slides, I submitted the slide to my FYP advisor to check if there is any errors or improvements to be made.

  REPORT WRITING CHAPTER 2 During this week, I worked on finishing up the literature review for chapter 2 of the proposal report. Below is a table of the papers that I have summarized.

  BLOCK DIAGRAM AND FLOW CHART For this week, I designed the block and flow chart of my project. The purpose of the block diagram is to show the input, process, and output of the project. The input for the project is the sensor and camera. The output is an LCD display that will show the information to the users. The sensor is used to detect the presence of cars at the entrance and parking slots. The camera will involve in determining the state of the cars that are already parked in their designated spaces. - Block Diagram of The System - Flow Chart of The Process
