Title: Contour Tracing in Digital Images (currently active)

Guide: Mr Nitin L Narrappanwar

This research work has been taken up to bring out a mathematical approach to boundary tracing. Contour tracing is the first step in the feature extraction process. The extracted boundary is the input for boundary description. The algorithm developed has a mathematical basis. It decides the “next boundary pixel”, using a well proven and time tested concept of vector cross product and dot product, as against table based prioritization. Providing mathematical basis essentially generalizes the boundary tracing concept. Outcome of Research: Paper titled “A Vector Approach to Boundary Traversing” accepted for oral presentation at 3rd Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence.

1. Title : 3D Rendering of Computed Tomography Images Duration of Project : 3 months

Team Size : 1 member

Programming Language: C++

Description : The objective of this project is 3D rendering, where a three dimensional structure is created from several 2D slices of CT scans. This gives ability to a doctor to observe a particular entity separately in 3D environment, thus improving the diagnosis. This was performed by the use of Marching Cube Algorithm, for the creation of 3D from a stack of 2D images. The implementation was done in Windows XP environment, with Dev C++ IED, using CImg Library (open source image processing library).

1. Title : Translation, Rotation and Scale Invariant Shape Matching

Duration of Project : 2 months

Team Size : 2 members

Programming Language : C++

Description : The objective of this project was to identify the irregular shapes with invariance towards translation, rotation and scaling. This was performed by using Generalized Hough Transform and Fourier Boundary Descriptors. The implementation was done in Windows XP environment, with Dev C++ IED, using CImg Library (open source image processing library).

My Role: Requirements gathering, functional designing and implementation (coding).

3. Title : I2C Based Temperature Controller

Duration of Project : 2 weeks

Team Size : 2 members

Programming Language : Embedded C

Description: :This is a hardware unit developed for controlling temperature of any entity (using a relay) with an accuracy of ±3 degree centigrade in the range of 0 to 125 degree centigrade, using I2C enabled temperature sensor (TC74). The programming was done in Embedded C using Keil uVision2 for 89C51.

My Role: Requirements gathering, functional designing and implementation (coding).

Title: On/Off Control and Data Communication Through Power Line Duration of Project : 4 months

Team Size : 4 members

Programming Language : C

Bit rate achieved : 300bps.

Description : This project involves transmitting information using an electrical power distribution network as a communication channel. This way of communication helps in bridging the gap existing between the electrical and communication network. It involved designing FSK modulator and demodulator, which were connected to two different computers through their respective serial ports (COM1). This project if enhanced can be very well used within the building to form a LAN connection and even to control electrical devices.

Hardware Used: XR 2206/2211 dedicated FSK modulator and demodulator respectively, voltage regulator IC’s 7812, 7805 and 7912, signal amplifier LM324 and RS232 to TTL (and vice-versa) converter IC MAX 232.

My Role: Design and implementation of the hardware and the software required for the on/off control (of electrical devices).

Highlight of the project : This project was sponsored by, Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology (KSCST), Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.
