RESEARCH PROJECTS

1. Face Recognition (Phase one - using neural networks, Phase two - using eigenfaces)

 Development of a robust face identification system that is able to match human faces under noisy environment. The project was modeled using two techniques - first one was an application of neural networks to face detection and recognition, a back propagation network was trained with human faces and then the neural network was able to mark face regions in a given image and also classify the faces detected.

The second phase involved the usage of a more robust Eigenfaces algorithm. This algorithm featured creation of face spaces for training face images. The test images were mapped onto the face spaces to classify them.

2. Fingerprint Recognition using neural networks

Development of a neural network based fingerprint matching system. This project involved usage of image processing techniques for the process of 'minutiae' extraction. Techniques of histogram equalization, grayscaletobinary conversion, edge detection, weiner filtering, thinning, pruning and other preprocessing techniques were used.

3. Spam Email filtering

Implementation of a na�ve bayes classifier to classify spam mails. 

4. Personalization of Educational Videos

A novel idea to personalize and summarize educational material. Educational videos of universities are personalized to suit the varied user preferences based on set of generic rules.

5.  Primer selection and sequence alignment

An application of Bio-informatics, this project features primer matching, finding cleaving sites, sequence search and sequence alignment.

 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Lucas TVS Ltd, Chennai, India

I worked to implement a Web-based gauge information system. This project involved developing webpage interfaces for input and retrieval of information on gauges and also dealt with query and maintenance of Oracle database server. This project required demonstration of strong programming skills and working with ASP, VBScipt, JavaScript and SQL and PLSQL query languages.
