Projects

· Supervised/Unsupervised Hyperspectral Image Classification (Apr - Jun 2009)

Supervisor:  Dr. Anjan Sarkar (Professor, Dept of Mathematics, IIT Kharagpur)

Sponsoring Organization:  Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)

Description:  Investigation of techniques for the segmentation and classification of hyper- spectral images (images in which a high dimensional data vector is available at each pixel). Our approach was to perform dimensionality reduction (using Principal Component Analysis and Projection Pursuit) followed by Markov Random Field based segmentation and classification. The classification may be supervised (in presence of groundtruth data) or unsupervised in its absence.

· Thematic Information Based SLAM (Jul 2009 - present)

Supervisor:  Dr. Anjan Sarkar (Professor, Dept. of Mathematics, IIT Kharagpur)

Sponsoring Organization:  European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS)

Description: Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is a technique used by unmanned aerial and ground vehicles to build a map of their environment for auto- nomous navigation. As opposed to conventional approaches to SLAM centered on landmark/feature identification, we are instead investigating the possibility of building and using thematic maps as the primary input. We consider two kinds of sensors namely, optical and radar so that ground complexity can be analyzed accurately while taking observations. This approach is based on segmenting the multisource images based on Dempster-Shafer evidence theory in a Markovian context, followed by localization using Extended Kalman Filters/Particle Filters.

Term Projects

· University Department Information System (Jan – Mar 2009)

Course:  Software Engineering

Supervisor:  Dr. Rajeev Kumar (Professor, Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering, IIT Kharagpur)

Description: Developed a prototype system to automate student registration, grading, maintenance of faculty profile, inventory and accounts.
