  • RESEARCH PROJECTS

    INDIAN SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION SYSTEM

      The aim of this project is to build a Indian Sign Language recognition and generation system which could be helpful for the Indian deaf community.[details]


    PREDICTIVE DESIGN AND TESTING, A PART OF THE SUSTAINABLE COATINGS AND RATIONAL DESIGN (SusCoRD)

      The aim of this project is to build a computational model to predict the measured corrosion variables and thereby help to design corrosion protection coatings.[details]


    CHILD GESTURE AND THEIR LANGUAGE

      In this work, we present an automatic child gesture recognition system, which has wide application in child language analysis and other areas in Cognitive Science communities.

    HUMAN POSE TRACKING

      In this work, we present a human pose tracking method with a new part descriptor. We formulate the human pose tracking problem as a discrete optimization problem based on spatio-temporal pictorial structure model and solve this problem in dynamic programming framework very efficiently.

    FACET SPACE TIME INTEREST POINTS (FaSTIP)

      In this work we present a novel Space Time Interest Point detection (STIP) method based on 3D facet model, we call it as FaSTIP. Also we propose a new point descriptor based on 3D wavelet transform.

    COMPUTER VISION IN CULTURAL CONTEXT

      In this project we consider a cultural activity classification problem, namely classification of Indian Classical Dance (ICD). To best of our knowledge this is a novel application of computer vision.

    FUNDUS RETINAL IMAGE ANALYSIS

      Fundus retinal image has many parts (fovea region, blood vessels etc.), those are extremly important to diagnosis different eye diseases. Here we proposed an algorithm to efficiently detect the fovea region in fundus retinal image.
