Reaching the
goal of machine
vision, making
the machine
see as we do,
has proven to
be a challenging task.Human
visual system
is so complex,
even comprehending its
functionality is
hard;
let alone replicating on a computer.

However, there have been several success stories, face detection,optical
character recognition, and autonomous
driving. These are powered by sophisticated but increasingly cost effective digital
hardware, and smart algorithms.
Our Department, with its strong background on digital hardware and algorithms
is engaged in solving some of these challenging and intriguing problems.

This year we have chosen to
feature machine vision in our cover page,
a thurst area in our departments five year
plan. Several state-of-the-art vision projects are in progress in the areas of feature
tracking, autonomous navigation, medical
image analysis, neuro navigation, vision
on reconfigurable hardware and GPUs and
visual behavior analysis. All these projects
are associated with the machine vision
research group. Department will establish
a machine vision laboratory to provide
vision-based solutions to the government
and coporate sector.

hoosing your specialization builds

a foundation for your future career.
However to excel in our professional life you need to balance your work with
many other activities which will build your
character. In our lecture halls and laboratories you will learn new concepts and
accumulate knowledge to earn the qualification you seek. While appreciating ones
own major, the department encourages
its student body to seek, understand and
appreciate other relevant areas in the engineering discipline
as these provide the
multi-disciplinary environment in which
you will work after
graduation.
with the teaching learning process within

the lecture hall and independently extend
your knowledge body outside the lecture
hall. Our graduates are known to hit the
ground running in the industry. They are
known for their abilities and good performance. We often receive very favorable
reviews from the industry.
The department maintains flexible hours
when it comes to laboratories being used
for academic activities.
Our undergraduate
program of study is
well planned to provide the most up to
date knowledge. The
department fosters
a culture of selflearning, encouraging to look beyond
what is taught in
the lecture halls.
In keeping with the
departments policy
of teaching you to
learn we encourage
you to get involved
We encourage you to use the facilities to

investigate and practice the theories taught
in the lectures so that you may enhance
your ability to do more with what you
know.
While you are being trained in academic
activities you are encouraged to take part
in activities of the e-club, sports activities within the university, join clubs and
organizations in the university, and other
recreational activities which make you
a well rounded person. These activities
will help you to develop aesthetic talents,
organizational abilities and communication
skills to become a graduate who can face
the future with confidence. Activities such
as the Tronix Nite, TPL cricket match, eCare, and exhibitions the undergraduates
organize are very good examples of how
our students improve their soft skills. The
department encourages you to engage in
at least 20 hours of social responsibility
acts each year and will support you in any
way possible to identify and organize such
activities.
As a young graduate , one day you will be

called upon to have precise time management capabilities, ability to prioritize tasks
and to have commitment to complete
the important tasks. In our capacity, the
program at our department is designed to
inculcate these good values and ensure
these will one day become habits.
Once you are in our department, we will
take good care of you and do our best
to ensure that your undergraduate life is
a fruitful and enjoyable experience. It is
our vision to produce a graduate who is
technically competent and socially responsible and be an assert to any industry they
engage in.
S t u d e n t
Life at the Department of Electronic

and Telecommunication Engineering
Your time at the department will be made

easier and more fruitful if you plan, prepare
and persevere. Many students will find it
hard to balance their academic activities
and other relevant activities if you fail to
plan ahead.

In the current program, the ratio of mentors to students was reduced to 3.2 and
therefore there are 31 high profile professionals mentoring the 100 students in the
level 2. The variety of the in-house training
sessions was also increased this year by
including interesting topics such as speed
reading (by Mr. Sanjiv Jayaratnam) and
meditation (by Dr. Ravindra Koggalage)
among the usual themes such as leadership (by Mr. Dian Gomes) and project
management (by Dr. Madhu Fernando).
The mentoring program entails an evaluation scheme which acts as a catalyst to
encourage students to take part in the programme more enthusiastically and receive
more benefits. The students engagement
with the program is gauged based on
98
three assessments, namely feedback from

the mentor, feedback from the internal staff
member assigned to groups of mentees
and marks obtained for the group assignment. The students who have performed
well are expected to receive a certificate of
merit.
Are you ready?

Organized by the Career Guidance Unit
and the Rotaract Club of University of
Moratuwa, Are You Ready? is the most
sought after professional development
program in the university calendar year.
2009 marks the 15th consecutive Are
You Ready? program, where its predecessors have all emerged as tremendous
successes, which was acknowledged by

seeing a doctor. TexMed product was designed and deployed by Mr. Dinuka Abeywardena and Mr. Thusitha Samarasekara,
as a collaboration between themselves
and University of Moratuwa.
General functionality of TexMed is to

provide on demand information to mobile
phone users via short message service.
More specifically it is applied in providing
information about currently serving patient
number in medical clinics where patients
have to wait their turn after reserving an
appointment number. A TexMed device is
to be placed at each of the clinics covered
by this service and it operates by sending
the current appointment number in a text
message to any patient requesting that
information. TexMed is aimed at aiding
patients to arrive in-person at the clinic at
the right time, thereby reducing both time
waste and risk of appointment expiration.
