PROJECTS:

1. Mobile application development and Networking. Period: Spring 2008 to

Fall 2009

. TULA -Content Based Image retrieval in Java Mobile edition (J2ME)

implemented on N-70 Nokia Phone. Application runs on Symbian OS v8.1a

with 2nd Edition, FP3 using JSR 118 and135 (Mobile Media API) and

Generic Connection Framework for CLDC 1.1. Period: Spring 2008 to Fall

2008

o AIM: Compare Query image captured from mobile with the database

image, based on image processing (object recognition) and not by

text, done using Query based Visual information on Server side

via PHP and csh scripting on LINUX OS. The similar matched

images from database is communicated to mobile via Relevance

feedback along with statistical information about the image

using socket services programming.

o TOOLS: Wireless toolkit SDK with Netbeans IDE for J2ME using

Midlets on client side and Apache server with GD libraries for

dynamic graphics generation in ImageMagick for manipulation.

. MyphoneBook: Personal information management developed in Symbian

C++.Application runs on Symbian OSv7.0 for 2nd edition cell phones. (

SMS handling) Period: Summer 2009 to Fall 2009

o AIM: Sharing of contact information between two mobile devices

achieved by creating new Message through Module (MTM's) on Nokia

6600 using Communication Stack which is used for accessing the

Message Server at Kernel level in C++, to retrieve contact info

stored in the phonebook of other mobile device by communicating

via SMS without the interaction of the user.

o TOOLS: Application coded in Symbian C++ using Visual

C++/carbide IDE.

2. Multi Media Communication system: Period: Fall 2007 to Spring 2008

. Video Codec of Mpeg along with reconstruction in Mat lab: Implement an

MPEG like encoder and decoder for I, P, B frames to determine the

motion vectors for each and performing the DCT, Quantization and

Huffman coding on B frames thus performing forward and reverse Motion

estimation.

. Image Encoding using JPEG: Image Compression and encoding via 4:2:0

and Digital cosine transform mapping technique with a quantization

table to compress the RGB image using entropy coding. Further the

reconstruction of the image from the compressed image data is

performed. Thus describing the artifacts in the reconstructed image in

Matlab along with Mean square error is calculated for each case to

obtain the efficiency.

3. Wireless Multimedia communication: Wireless PAN: 802.15.4 (Zig-bee) on

MAC for providing QoS in Mac layer, mainly in a peer topology network

and simulation in NS2 (network simulator).Presented Seminar on

o Designed a RISC processor to execute multiply and divide

subroutines

o Implemented 4 stage pipeline and a Harvard Memory model

o Good insight of matching timing in a pipelined processor design

o Provided an opportunity to co-ordinate and work in a diverse team

environment

5. Network application to create and inject UDP packets using Socket

Programming in Data stack with IP protocol stack on C language with

UNIX environment.
