Projects:
Biometric Access Control System (BACS)- Designed and developed a biometric based access control system. BACS is a sophisticated combination of card swipe, fingerprint and facial matching.
- Developed a state-of-the-art Vehicle Identification and Tracking System based on leading RFID technology. VITS help control vehicle related crimes including car thefts, through centrally controlled tracker chip, fixed on each vehicle, known as Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
- Developed VACS for access control of vehicles to different premises with restricted access. The system is implemented using leading RFID technology, loops for motion detection and digital cameras. The system is centralized for controlling access to different premises using single tracker chip.
- Research on techniques for automating of surveillance systems. Developed a tracking system to track multiple objects in a single camera environment. Indexing and querying system is developed for indexing motion data and query based retrieval of motion clips based on indexed information. Methodology for classification and prediction of motion trajectories using spatiotemporal approximation is proposed and tested. Event detection based on motion behavior of objects in video is also studied.
- Worked on a project developed for efficient handling of resources of different companies that are registered to the site. Etilize can handle transactions like buy, sell, temporary and permanent swaps of goods. It also have the capability to efficiently handle the liquid resources of companies. It works for R-R, M-M, B-B and B-C models. You can visit the site at http://www.r2rcentral.com.
- Working on a project SCX (Sales Collaborate Xchange) which is a B2B n tier project. Using the site, users can browse through different products and can add them into their shopping cart for which they can then order to buy. The order is then submitted to appropriate vendors and the users are then provided with the order tracking facilities till the order is delivered to them.
- A software based motion caption and rendering in the OpenGL environment used in entertainment, ads, games and movie.
