Below is the list (with a little description!!) of projects that I have worked on: 1. Combining Appearance and Motion for Human Action classification in videos (Summer - 2008): We separate motion and appearance information to build descriptors, which are subsequently combined using a Bag of Words Model to provide highly discriminative histograms for classifying human actions in videos. GUIDE: Dr. Christoph Lampert and Sebastian Nowozin, Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, Tuebingen, GERMANY 2. Efficient Feature Selection in the presence of Multiple Feature Classes (Spring - 2008): We present an information theoretic approach to feature selection when the data possesses feature classes. We propose a three part coding scheme (TPC) which uses lesser number of bits to code the information than standard feature selection methods like Stepwise and Streamwise Feature Selection, when the data contains feature classes. GUIDE: Prof. Dr. Lyle Ungar, CIS, UPenn, Philadelphia, PA, USA 3. EU-HERMES (Summer-2006): Worked on developing algorithms for Facial Feature Detection and Tracking and implemented them on a network of PTZ active cameras. Also developed and implemented the algorithms to control the zoom of PTZ camera for multi zoom activity analysis. GUIDE: Dr. Jordi Gonzalez, Dr. Juan Jose Villanueva, CVC, Barcelona, SPAIN 4. e-Sniffer (Spring-2006): It is a human motion following machine which follows a token (For e.g. An object held in a person's hand (We used a wooden object (resembling a bone) which was tracked by our machine)). We used Continuously Adaptive Mean Shift to follow the token. The algorithm was implemented using VC++/LUSH. GUIDE: Dr. (Mrs.) Neena Gupta, PEC, Chandigarh, INDIA 5. e-Car (Winter- 2005) :Developed an obstacle avoiding robot . It works by processing the images taken by a Webcam fixed on the robot. The images are processed by MATLAB and the PC interface is through a wired Parallel Port Connection. GUIDE: Dr. Neelam Rup Prakash, PEC, Chandigarh, INDIA 6. LCD Clock (Autumn-2005): Implemented time Display on an HD-44780 compatible LCD Display by interfacing AVR Microcontroller with Dallas DS-1307 Real Time Clock (Uses I2C Protocol). 7. Electronic Height Measuring Machine (Summer-2005): Implemented the prototype of a Height Measuring Machine based on ATMEL AVR Microcontroller and used a stepper motor to keep track of distance moved. 8. UART Transceiver (Summer-2005): Designed a UART Transmitter and Receiver using Verilog HDL. |
