  Web apps is going to be interesting. How big is this project supposed to be?

  Its supposed to big enough
  a Final Year Engineering Project
  so not quite a mini project
  and the norms like a bank website, website linked to a database on its own wudn't have much merit
  So something more on the lines of a creative yet big enough project would be favourable

  Totally Blank so far
  Areas of Interest:
  1. Image Processing - Image Segmentation and Recognition
  2. Web Applications - nothing
  Any suggestions

  How about indirect measurement, like estimating traffic volume (automobiles or people) via digital images? This could be estimated by neural network, etc.
  
  Or...
  
  Biometric authentication which uses multiple lightweight (low-cost, low complexity) sensor modalities? If your face recognition is 95% accurate, and your voice recognition is 90% accurate, and your hand geometry recognition is 93% accurate (and we assume statistical independence of the errors), the the total, fused system becomes much more accurate.

  I like your second idea
  The first and third would be done using image processing and the 2nd would be done by comparing the signal of the input with the stored one
  But would you be able to ascertain whether the three mentioned biometric recognition procedures would be relatively easy to implement. Because we have very little idea of image processing yet.
  And would this be accomplished using MATLAB or any such software?

  What you consider "easy" depends on many factors, such as: your programming skill, how many people you expect the system to recognize, your knowledge of signal/image processing and machine learning, how accurate you want the system to be, etc. My guess is that this should not be too difficult to do.
  
  Yes, this could all be accomplished in MATLAB.

  Thank you for your suggestion
  Would you be able to suggest me an alternative topic in image processing
  Something on the lines of Image segmentation. Extracting a particular object from a background.
  And where would i get guidance with regards to how to go about coding these softwares.. books,websites,etc..?

  There is considerable material on-line regarding projects of this sort. Here are a few places to start:
  
  #-Link-Snipped-##-Link-Snipped-#
  
  Detecting Soda Cans Against a Cluttered Background: Detecting Soda Cans Using C++
  
  Recognition of Handwritten Names: Boosting in Matlab
  
  I do recommend getting a book on image processing, such as Digital Image Processing (Third Edition) by Gonzalez and Woods (ISBN-13: 978-0131687288).
