Graduate Engineering Trainee July2011-Till Date

Selected through campus requirement held at NIT Jalandhar. Underwent 8 weeks training on “Power plant familiarization” at NPTI Durgapur. This program was informative about the various features of Thermal and Hydro power generation, transmission and distribution. Presently posted at Trombay Thermal Power Station.

6 week Industrial Training at GSK Consumer Healthcare Ltd.

Erection of FBC boiler: June-July 2010

The idea behind the training was to learn the various instrumentation and control technologies involved in working of an fluidized bed combustion boiler that produced 22TPH steam.

Training at Netmax Technologies

Working with 8051 family of microcontrollers: June-July 2009

Training in 8051family microcontroller programming, and interfacing with peripherals like LCD, ADC, stepper motor, DC Motor and temperature sensor LM 35 in embedded C and introduction to ORCAD capture and Layout and TINAPro.

Innovation Technologies

Autonomous Robots: Sep 2008

Successfully designed an autonomous white line follower robot using a microcontroller using IR sensors.

Industrial Workshop

2 weeks workshop training: June 2008

Underwent 2 week training at workshop of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar. The motive the workshop was to practically learn the working of basic tools and machines used in an industrial workshop.

Projects

Major Project May2011

Real time detection and tracking of face and eye motion during day and night driving conditions.

A Drowsy Driver Detection System was developed, using a non-intrusive machine vision based concepts. When fatigue is detected, a warning signal is issued to alert the driver.

Technologies Used: MATLAB

International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Assistive Technologies(BEATS)-2010

Paper on Generic Algorithm for Face Recognition using MATLAB Dec 2010

Presented a paper on an algorithm for Recognition of faces in a given image. It is an extension of previous project of face detection. It works by matching the template with the previously stored template. The eigen faces of two images are calculated and then the difference between them gives an idea of proximity to the previously stored face.

International Conference on Optoelectronics and Image Processing(ICOIP 2010)

Paper on Generic Algorithm for Face Detection using MATLAB Nov 2010

Presented a paper on an algorithm for Detecting the number of faces in a given image. It was based on the algorithm developed in May 2010 using MATLAB. This algorithm was based on Color Based Mask Generation Technique.

Face Detection Using MATLAB May 2010

Worked on the development of an algorithm for detection of faces from a given image in MATLAB using color based mask generation technique. Image thus generated is thus filtered my using maximal rejection ratio. Finally a plotbox is drawn around the detected face.

Technologies Used: MATLAB
