CURRICULAM PROJECTS
. PERSON FOLLOWING ROVER (Robotics): (Duration 1 Year, SDSU)
Develop a vision based robotics system capable of following a person
executing a mission has many applications such as search, rescue or
combat in previously unvisited locations. Its main advantage over
other modes of person following is its passivity in the sense that it
does not transmit or receive detectable signals.
Implemented functions for region detection, region growing and
identifying colors using HIS and RGB model with C# programming. Also
wrote function to control the camera tilt and pan to and speed of the
robot using fuzzy logic.
. User Level Thread Library: (Fall 2008)
We implemented user level thread for dinning philosopher problem. We
also implemented user level semaphores and also created a scheduling
system to maintain the user level threads manually. All the
programming was done in C++ and C and the user level semaphores were
based on POSIX semaphores.
. Encryption Techniques: (Fall 2008)
Created a Graphical User Interface for Encryption techniques like
Ceaser Cipher, Tiny Encryption and Vigenere Encryption, using an
assembly language. We used a flat assembler to implement all the
techniques.
