Areas of Interests‣ Image Processing‣ Computer Vision‣ Pattern Recognition‣ Computer GraphicsMajor Projects‣ Robust Optic Disk Segmentation from Colour Retinal Images *A novel segmentation method to better capture the boundary of a non-homogeneous object such as the optic disk,defined locally by two similar characteristic regions. Existing active contour models which utilize gradientinformation or global region intensity fail to localize aforementioned boundaries. We propose a region-based activecontour model that uses local image information around each point of interest in multi-dimensional feature space.AdvisorProf. Jayanthi SivaswamyTechnologyMatlabTeam Size 2* Accepted in Conference - ICVGIP(Chennai)‣ Detection of Infarct region in Head CT images (Context Based Image Retrieval)Detection of infarct regions in HeadCT images. It involves detection of regions in brain which are of high and lowintensities and consequently detecting the infarct regions. A windowing algorithm is applied on the imageintensities so as to enhance the region of interest. Following this, Parzen window density est imation algorithm isused to differentiate between regions of high and low intensities. Using a dynamic threshold, the infarct region in theHeadCT images can be detected.AdvisorTechnologyProf. Jayanthi SivaswamyMatlabTeam Size 2‣ A successive-rejection based approach for early detection of diabetic retinopathyThe problem consists of detecting a target in a large clutter, where probability of its occurrence is very low. Thetarget is detection of Micro-Aneurysm(MA) in Retinal images. A successive rejection based strategy is followedwhich reduces the false clutters that are similar to the target clutter at every stage. The design is such that the trueMAs are passed along using a different set of features at every stage while the false ones are rejected.AdvisorTechnologyProf. Jayanthi SivaswamyMatlabTeam Size 2

‣ Building of an artificial neural network (ANN) , Course - Pattern RecognitionBuilding an artificial multi-layer neural network. Given a dataset, the classification of data is done using this ANN.It involves rigorous training and testing of the ANN using n-fold cross-validation technique.AdvisorTechnologyDr. Anoop M. NamboodariMatlabTeam Size 1‣ Dataset Challenge, Course - Pattern RecognitionOn a dataset of English alphabets drawn with different strokes, different shape-based, spatial and frequency domainfeatures are used to train different type of classifiers like multi-layer perceptron, kth nearest neighbor, LinearDiscriminant classifier, Gaussian classifier.AdvisorDr. Anoop M. NamboodariTechnologyMatlabTeam Size 2‣ A 2-D Computer Game with graphic animations , Course – Computer GraphicsAn interactive multi-stages game of Asteroid-Fighter where a user can shoot terrestrial objects of different sizes,shape and travelling at different speeds.AdvisorTechnologyDr. P.J. NarayananOpenGLTeam Size 1‣ IGL Graphics Library, Course – Computer GraphicsProject aims at developing an API for 3D graphics. It involves development of tools that are inherently present inOpenGL library.AdvisorTechnologyDr. P.J. NarayananOpenGLTeam Size 1‣ Simulation of a 3D building, Course - Computer GraphicsA simulation of a multistorey 3D building(a school). It involves viewing the whole building by motion of a cameraat different perspectives. Different camera movements (pan, tilt etc.) are developed so that the user can view thebuilding with different perspectives.AdvisorTechnologyDr. P.J. NarayananOpenGLTeam Size 1
