Projects

Project 8

Generative AI Playground (Vision)

Building an interactive platform for experimenting with various GANs and VAEs, facilitating image tasks like data augmentation, image compression, image generation and reconstruction

Project 1

Real-Time Depth Estimation & Image Reconstruction from Point Cloud

Developed a real-time depth estimation system that leverages the MiDaS model to generate accurate depth maps and YOLOv5 for object detection from webcam input.

Project 2

Gaze Tracing for Mouse Pointer Movement

Implemented gaze-based mouse control, translating detected gaze direction into precise mouse pointer movements for improved user interaction and accessibility.

Project 5

Medical Image Segmentation

Processes 3D medical images from various modalities, such as MRI and CT scans. Implemented segmentation in both centralized and decentralized setups with a novel loss function tailored for each approach.

Project 7

City Space Segmentation

Developed semantic segmentation models for classifying and segmenting urban street scenes from the Cityspace dataset. And achieved 88-94% segmentation accuracy by optimizing model architectures and employing data augmentation techniques.

Project 3

Low Light Night Vision Face Detection Using Thermal Imaging

Built a face detection module for low-light conditions using Haar-cascade, Dlib, and YOLOv8. And Enhanced detection accuracy by combining multiple models (e.g Dlib with YOLOv8) for improved performance in challenging lighting.

Project 4

Palm Print Detection & Identification Using Mobile Cameras

Developed proprietary palm print dataset with manual annotation. Pre process through noise removal and kernel filtering. Applied transfer learning with YOLO (v5 and v8), with YOLOv8 outperforming YOLOv5 by 9-13%.

Project 6

Predicting Solar Power Generation With Its Maintenance Activities

Leveraged deep learning, time series modelling, and various ML techniques & libraries (Sci-Kit Learn, Pandas, NumPy, TensorFlow, Keras, PyBats, matplotlib) to analyze data patterns, perform mathematical operations, and yield precise results.
