Implementing Adaptive Boosting algorithm for face detection using tilted face images
(Report)

3D Game Development:
Arizona State University (Fall 2006)
Developed a 3D game using various techniques in texturing, filtering, shading, double
buffering, pop-up menu, reading a .obj file, collision detection, etc. [C, OpenGL]

Find two snapshots of the project: (1. Top-view of the maze 2. Navigation mode)

Classification problem
Arizona State University (Fall 2006)
Developed a Matlab program to extract color based features from the given images and
classify the images as faces or non-faces using MLE technique, non-parametric technique
and using a tool like SVMLight. [Matlab, SVMLight]

The feature extraction module of the project worked fine, but the classification techniques failed.

Video Shot Detection
Arizona State University (Fall 2006)
Implemented and compared various techniques for detecting shots in conventional and
natural videos. [Matlab]

Content Based Image Retrieval
Arizona State University (Fall 2006)
Implemented a content based image retrieval system using color based visual features
and then finding the nearest matching image from the database of 150 images. [Visual
Basic, Matlab, Java]

(CBIR Report in doc format)

Screenshots of the system are below:

Railway Positioning System
K.J.Somaiya College of Engineering, University of Mumbai (2005)
Implemented a prototype system under the guidance of Prof. Uday Joshi to estimate
the position of the train in its route and computes expected arrival times of all
subsequent stations. [Embedded C Programming]

Library Management system
K.J.Somaiya College of Engineering, University of Mumbai (2004)
Modeled using principles of object oriented programming (Unified Modeling
Language) and used SQL for querying.
