Traffic Light Classification link to project

Used classical computer vision techniques feature extraction and description to classify traffic lights (accuracy: 90.23%)

Used community standard convolutional neural network (CNN) for traffic light classification (accuracy: 98.99%)

Feature based approach could make sure no red traffic signal is classified as green, CNN failed to do so Statistical Pattern Recognition link to project

Computed and analyzed the eigenspace of given image datasets and appropriate subspace dimension

Performed object classification in a dataset of 20 object class and pose estimation in 128 different poses of each object

(pose estimation accuracy: 99.64%)

Feature Detection and Matching link to project

Extracted features and edges, and corresponded said features between successive image frames using Harris feature detector, Laplacian of Gaussian detector, and SIFT

The detected features and developed descriptors were invariant to rotation, scale, and illumination changes Image Filtering and Hybrid Imaging link to project

Frequency domain: blended high and low frequency content of two images to create a hybrid image that was perceived differently at different distances

Spatial domain: created my own convolution function to apply low and high frequency Gaussian kernel for image filtering and blended them to create a hybrid image EDUCATION
