Previous Projects

Important person detection from multiple videos (Master's Thesis)

The goal of this work is to develop a unified framework for unsupervised person re-identification with application to important person detection from multiple videos. It focuses on topics such as
  • Face detection
  • Particle filters based object tracking
  • Face/clothing recognition
  • Detection of high level attributes (i.e. Race, Gender, Eyewears, Headwears, Hair colors, Age, etc.). An example can be seen here.
  • Sensor based temporal segmentation of videos
  • Supervised classification.
  • Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering (HAC) with constraints (i.e. cannot-link constraints)
Tools used in this work: C++, OpenCV, Python, Intel's Threading Building Blocks (TBB), GNU Scientific Library (GSL)

One shot-gesture recognition using RGB-D images

We (myself and a colleague) were following Chalearn gesture recognition challenge and worked on the implementation of a research paper participated in the contest.  

Vehicle make and model recognition (Bachelor's Thesis)

I worked on this topic as my undergraduate thesis and also followed the same work during my tenure at COMVis. The results of the work were published in ICIET 2010 and the paper can be found here.
