Soil Texture Analyzer and Digital Soil Mapping System for Davao City By Vincenzo Lao The project is capable of distinguishing what type of soil texture it is for having the right soil texture is important for plants to grow healthy. However, as presented, it is only capable of distinguishing one type at a time, so the problem would be about identifying the soil when two types are present. Low-Cost Automatic PCB Driller By Jeric and Jester Lim This Automatic PCB driller is indeed helpful to make processing of circuitry faster. It was said that we need to first drill the board using the device before undergoing UV. Therefore, it will require the user to accurately align the printed layout to the board with the holes and if not done carefully, it will definitely waste the board. I think it is better that the devices would be capable of drilling the board with the circuit layout developed on it and to do so, image processing will be needed wherein the camera will detect the subject, then determine the portion to be drilled and then the driller will punch a hole in it. Hand Gesture Command System Using Image Processing for Audio Visual Presentation By Michael Barino It was said that this project detects the human skin via camera and processes it to provide a command such as next, back home and end slide. This will definitely make presentations better, however, the problem is that the movement of our head has capability of triggering the system, which can disrupt the flow of the presentation. Also, it would be better if they use a simple hand gestures wherein different command is integrated on it. Monitoring System for Solar Path and Cloud Cover By Nyna Moreno This system is definitely useful especially when integrated into the solar panels in order to determine and predict the suns path and also for the solar panels to adjust into facing the sun in order to catch more sunlight. The obvious limitation would be when there will be no sun detected due to heavy clouds, rain and other factors. Bird Repellant By Amy Havier, Gia and Roxanne Birds can also be a nuisance when not at the right place because of their waste. This project can be one of the solutions to drive these birds away. Though the frequency used can be heard by humans, they made sure to place it at high places and directed the sound upward for us not to hear it. The limitation is that it cannot drive away pigeons and other birds which are immune to frequency because they are deaf.
