Projects____________________________________________________________________
_______________________
+ Group(2 people) Design Project on Noise cancellation using Texas
Instruments x54 DSP Series using assembly programming.
-Simulated Noise cancellation in MATLAB using Sinusoidal
Signals, FFT, Phase Shifting, Sampling, etc.
-Exported digitized signal+noise, and noise samples from MATLAB
and stored it on DSP board using Code explorer., found out the
dominant frequency from noise from memory allocation and created a
delayed version of noise signal which when later added to the
signal+noise channel would eliminate the dominant noise frequency.
- Link to the URL for class Project:
http://sites.google.com/site/noisecancelllation/home
+ Individual Project on Bayesian Spam Filter Design probability and
statistical analysis using MATLAB.
-Found out the probability of occurrence of certain
specified words in a given email.
-If more than half of those words have a very high probability
than the email is declared spam, if less than half has a very high
probability than the email is declared non-spam.
+ Individual Project on RSS feed processor using C++ (Data structures
and Object Oriented Programming).
-First gathered the Title and URL of the stories from different
online Newspaper websites feeds.
-Clustered all different Titles and URLs together using my own
library String Mapper Class with hash table, and linked lists only.
-Final Cluster created with one kernel story with added stories
whose headlines contained 3 or more matching words with kernel. Later
eliminated duplicate clusters using statistics and final version was
created with just kernel headline with different URLs from various
newspaper feeds about the same story.
+ Individual Project in Game Programming: Nachman, a smaller version
of Pacman using OOP.
-Based on concept of 4 monsters and 1 Human Player.
-Implemented attributes like color, no. of lives, health, etc.
for each character using inheritance and polymorphism. Implemented
different movement algorithm for each monster to chase the player.
+ Individual Project on Processing, compression and decompression of
Image Signals using MATLAB.
-Implemented compression and decompression of image signals
using DCT2 and IDCT2.
-Measured MSE for different scaling factors (Q) to compare the
image quality.
+ Group Project on Binary to Floating Point Converter Design
using Sequential/Combinational logic.
-This design was created using MUXs, Registers, AND & OR gates,
etc.
-Used concepts of Binary to 2s Complement Conversion, Parity
Bit Checker, Shifters, Adders, etc.
