This is a list of my research projects and relevant course projects:
-
Visible Light Communication
Guide: Prof. Kameswari Chebrolu
- Developed prototypes to encode information in video content in the form of a grid overlay and capture and decode it on smartphones, while minimizing visual obtrusion and achieving reliable data transfer for short ranges.
- Compared state-of-the-art techniques in visible light communication, particularly COBRA and HiLight, and adapted them for our use case.
- Developed and optimized algorithms for corner detection, frame synchronization and decoding.
- Evaluated prototypes by varying parameters like overlay transparency, frame buffer size and grid size, achieving an average throughput of 7 kbps.
-
Furniture Design from Pose
Guide: Prof. Siddhartha Chaudhari
Modeled furniture design as an optimization problem such that for a given pose of a human being, the region of contact between the body and the surface is maximized, with additional terms for smoothness and collision prevention.
Optical Sorter
Guide: Prof. Kavi Arya
Developed an embedded system consisting of a Raspberry Pi board with mounted camera and indicative LEDs to automatically detect defective items in a manufacturing plant.
-
Poisson Image Editing
Guide: Prof. Ajit Rajwade
Used interpolation machinery based on solving Poisson equations to perform tasks in seamless cloning (concealment, insertion, feature exchange) and selection editing (texture flattening, local color changes).
-
PDE based Image Regularization
Guide: Prof. Suyash Awate
Implemented a PDE based image regularization algorithm and demonstrated applications like in-painting, JPEG block artifact
removal, noise reduction and flow visualization.
-
Visualisation of Mobile Radio Networks based on SIMONE
Guide: Prof. Thomas Kürner
- Developed an ASP.NET web application in C# which uses the Google Earth plugin to display cell antennae, intensity maps generated on the server and other information pertaining to scenario instances.
- Wrote a javascript library which creates auto-resizeable ground overlays to simulate zoom invariant directional icons for the cell antennae.
- Created a hierarchical toggler element for viewing/hiding layers of data objects fetched dynamically from the server.
