Optimal Control System Design for Object Tracking in Robot Vision Using Extended Kalman Filter

In this project, I designed a vision-based object tracking system using a fixed camera and Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to estimate 2D position despite noise and nonlinearities. Improved accuracy under occlusion and limited processing conditions. Comparative Analysis of Brain Tumor MRI Image Enhancement Methods for Deep Learning Classification

This project compared two MRI enhancement methods for brain tumor detection using DenseNet. Evaluated impact on classification performance with metrics like accuracy and F1-score. Tools: PyTorch, scikit-learn, CVIPtools. CERTIFICATIONS AND TRAININGS
