Research and Projects
  1. Efficient Models of Macro Facial Emotion Recognition Using Normalized Minimal Feature Vectors
    Description: In our research, we determined the facial emotion recognition in human face with less number of feature points using semi supervised classifier techniques. In this work, we developed the three models with different machine learning methods and find out the better efficient models using hyper parameter tuning, which has less computation time, reduced the data redundancy and good validation parameter results.
    Responsibilities involved:
    . Development of three models using supervised and semi supervised classifier.
    . Implemented the Constrained Local models face mesh for facial tracking and extraction.
    · Collection of huge databases and developed the real time datasets.1. Languages : C++, MATLAB, Open CV & Open Framework
    2. Tools : Code Block, Visual Studio 15 & MATLAB
    3. OS : Windows 7 & Linux Ubuntu
  2. An Object Detection and Tracking for Surveillance using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
    Description: In this project, the drones/ UAV capture or track the object in the unrestricted or secured area. In this work, using camera and Raspberry bi, the capture image gives the detailed information of objects tracking and send to control units. This information will give the alert or alarm in surveillance area.
    Responsibilities involved:
    · Development the product and programmed using Embedded C++ and OPENCV.
    · Collection of datasets and controlling the DRONES in surveillance area.1. Languages : Embedded C++, Open CV, ML library
    2. Hardware & Software : Raspberry PI, Linux Ubuntu, UAV
  3. Modern Billing System for Supermarket Using RFID.
    Description: Using 8051 microcontroller, we design the automatic billing system in supermarket. It reduces the time and fast processing of billing, which helpful for both customers and owner.
    Responsibilities involved: Development the product and programmed using Assembly Languages
    1. Languages : 8051 Assembly Language
    2. Hardware & Software : PIC 8051, RFID Tag
