SKILLS
SELECTPAST PROJECTS
The project implements SURF feature detec�on algorithm in MATLAB using SURFmex (OpenCV implementa�on of SURF in Matlab). Monochrome Glyphs were successfully detected in real-�me in RGB videos recorded for the project.
● IMPLEMENTATION OF SURF FEATURE DETECTION ALGORITHM ON VIDEOS FOR DYNAMIC GLYPH DETECTION (2015):
Various feature detec�on like SURF, SIFT and pa�ern recogni�on techniques were implemented to detect cars (side view only) in colour images.
● CAR DETECTION IN AN IMAGE USING FEATURE AND PATTERN MATCHING TECHNIQUES(2012):
The project was a 6-DOF robo�c manipulator for industrial applica�ons. Manipulator was designed manufactured locally and forward & inverse kinema�c control algorithms were implemented through an industrial grade embedded controller (C8051F06x) interfaced with an HMI Device, AVR µC based servo control.
● MODELLING AND CONTROL OF A 6-00F ROBOTIC ARM FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS (2011):
The project was successfully completed at Center of Advanced Studies in Engineering (C@SE) by Undergraduate Students of Electrical Engineering in 2010. The robot was a GPS guided Semi-autonomous all-terrain vehicle, The mechanical design was inspired version of the Shrimp Rover (original design by Ins�tute of Robo�cs and Intelligent Systems, Swiss Federal Ins�tute of Technology)
● DESIGN , FABRICATION OF AN AUTONOMOUS ALL TERRAIN SHRIMP ROVER WITH SURVEILLANCE & AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION (PROJECT SUPERVISOR):
The project implements real-�me object localiza�on, SURF feature tracking (using KLT), and PID control implemented on a Lego Mindstorm robot using MATLAB and a monocular camera setup. The robot successfully follows the person in an unstructured environment avoiding any obstacles that come in between.
● PERSON FOLLOWING ROBOT USING RGB CAMERA (2016):
MSC RESEARCH
The research successfully u�lized Microso� Kinect v2 for a small-scale, near-real-�me underwater object 3D
scene reconstruc�on and 3D scanning. Using Kinect v2 in a custom designed waterproof housing, the
research successfully showed that underwater 3D scene reconstruc�on is possible using NIR depth cameras
with acceptable trade-offs in accuracy and scanning distance. The acquired depth data was processed to
accommodate effects of refrac�on of the sensor housing and water. The errors in depth calcula�on due to
the change of medium for a �me of flight sensor were rec�fied, in addi�on to the removal of extra noise
faced in underwater imaging, without significant loss of features. The pre-processed data was then passed
on to a custom implementa�on of Kinect Fusion for underwater 3D object scanning and model crea�on.
