Graphics/Vision Interesting Topics

I would like to do an interesting project for a computer graphics course. I know that there is a lot of literature out there (i.e. SIGGRAPH conference papers). I have a very large range of interest with regard to computer graphics (i.e. image processing, 3D modeling, rendering, animation). However, I've only taken computer vision/graphics for 2 semesters and thus don't have too much background experience, except for the class projects that I had to do.

I've been looking through SIGGRAPH papers trying to see if there is anything that will be of interest to me but the literature is extremely vast. I was wondering if anyone has any topic suggestions, anything interesting that you ran across that you could recommend. I would prefer to do something fun yet slightly challenging (not really interested in making a shooter game).

If this question does not belong here, I apologize and please let me know where I should move it.

Thanks!

Image Drawing animator. (the name is kind of misleading, but I didn't care much about it)

Anyway, the software does the following:

  1. Takes an image say a JPEG or BMP as input.
  2. Extract the lines from the image. (I used Matlab and Laplace transformations)
  3. Convert the static lines to Vector paths.
  4. Simulate drawing the image using the extracted paths.

In summary, you should give an image, for example a city scape, the program extract all lines and start drawing the buildings, streets and sunset lines, then finally add the colors one by one, until the full image is done.
