Academic Projects

Ph.D. Thesis - Indexing high dimensional databases.

I am currently looking into applying techniques such as clustering and data trans-

formation to index high dimensional data in Non-Ordered Discrete Data Space

(NDDS).

M. Tech. Thesis - Detection of on- eld advertisement billboards in soccer telecasts

at the School of Information Technology, IIT Kharagpur.

Objective of the project is to track advertisements in soccer video footage to

nd out time (and size) for which an advertisement billboard was shown. It

is a pattern recognition based application, which uses domain knowledge and

properties of videos for object detection and tracking. System was developed in

C.

B.E. Project - Local Network Monitoring System

At Bhabha Atomic Research

Center (BARC) Anushaktinagar, Mumbai.

The system scans the selected hosts in a LAN using port scanner and makes a

database (in postgreSQL) of the gathered data. User can query the database to

detect inconsistencies or abnormalities. The system was developed in C. GUI was

developed using JAVA Swing.
