PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

M.I.T. Media Lab

Cambridge, MA

Researcher, Draper FellowSept'11 - Present

My work focuses on tools to better capture and share visual information. The goal is to

create an entirely new class of

imaging platforms that have an understanding of the world that far exceeds human ability

and produce meaningful

abstractions that are well within human comprehensibility.

Architect, Hyperspace OS

March'09 - March'10

Lead the design and architecture of Hyperspace OS' graphics framework; Hyperspace is an

instant-on, always connected

operating system with extremely low power usage and has the capability to host a second

OS in the background. In this

role, I have had the opportunity to develop and architect OpenGL based compositing window

manager that leverages 3D

graphics hardware to create fast, powerful, fun-to-use desktop experiences, improve and

modify Mozilla Firefox /

Epiphany / XULRunner / Gecko codebases and extend open-source efforts such as Compiz &

Emerald. Hyperspace is sold

to HP.

Director of Research & DevelopmentSept'05 - Aug'08

Developing innovative solutions in the areas of Homeland Security, 3D Surveillance

Systems, Intelligent Sensor Networks,

Automation Controls, and Information Technologies. Directing as many as 15 people

including researchers, software

engineers, CAD engineers, and graphics artists. Hands on experience in the design and

development of systems including;

PRAESIDIUM: Praesidium is a high level artificial intelligence solution geared towards

security and surveillance

applications. Supported features include object detection and classification, object

tracking, perimeter breach detection,

left-object detection, multi-camera handover and programmable multi-sensor behavioral

logic. Praesidium has been

deployed to dozens of sites all-over US, protecting critical government and private

facilities.

TRiDSTM(Train Rider Inspection & Detection System): Developed for Union Pacific, this is

a computer vision based system

that detects illegal riders and container breaches on cargo trains traveling up to 70mph.

1 AYDIN ARPA 650-***-**** http://*********.*********@***.***

Linear Panorama Generator: This is a patent pending technique that converts video of a

train passing by a camera into a

panorama of the entire train. This panorama is automatically analyzed and chopped into

separate railcar sections, and

indexed based on shape, pattern and OCR results.

DORA: This is an OCR solution that helps keep track of the inventory of train cars in a

chemical plant by recognizing

inbound and outbound trains.

Caustic Car Video Inspection System (CCVI): Automatically detecting corrosion inside tank

car surfaces based on Artificial

Neural Network based system which use color, texture & contour to classify sections of

interest.

Virtual Human Insertion (VHI): This is a computer vision based technique devised to

insert video of human intruders into

LIVE scene in order to perform tests on intrusion detection algorithms, and also verify

guard operations.

SmartYardTM: Avoiding derailment via a vision based alarm system that observes cross-

points in a rail-yard.

3D-IS: 3D-IS is a real-time immersive 3D geospatial visualization system that integrates

surveillance video and various

meta-data within a unified command and control environment. This system provides the

ability to seamlessly navigate

from satellite/aerial imagery into live video feed, giving the user the feeling of "omni-

presence".

CAPLAT:

CAPLAT is a powerful 3D camera simulation package that allows integrators to

optimize camera coverage in a

facility.

Other notable systems include: Train Height Monitoring System, Vision based pantograph

defect detection system,

PRAESIDIUM Mobile, Collision Alert Monitoring and Impact Analysis System.

VIDEO FLASHLIGHTSTM AUGMENTED REALITY SYSTEM [Inventor & Chief software architect]: (Sold

11/04 to L3

Communications for $29M. ) This is truly the next generation of security and surveillance

systems where live video feeds

are fused with 3D model of an environment, and one has the ability to fly-through a scene

and access any incidence

within the 4 dimensional space and time. This Augmented Reality System is currently

installed in multiple high security,

high profile sites worldwide including couple major airports.

--Featured multiple times in MIT Technology Review, Wall Street Journal, The Times, ABC

News, etc...

GEOPORTAL: A web enabled geospatial browser that combines USGS imagery, TIGER data &

yellow pages. Implemented

in 2000-2001, this software can be thought as a precursor to google maps.

CALIBRATOR: A generic framework for camera calibration, image stitching & 3D texturing.

OMNIVIEW: A real-time video matrix and 3D mesh viewer that makes it possible to not only

visualize "bullet time" type

multi-perspective video, but also MPEG-2 encoded mesh data.
