Prof. Sowmya Kamath , Object recognition and segmentation using mask R-CNN and its result used as weights with the RNN model for scene categorization. Context model and latent tree for identifying and removing out-of-context objects using the method of in-painting. Applying to smart cities to set alarm in case of unusual encounters. --Tensorflow, Keras, Torch & Python
Prof. Dinesh Naik , Segmenting and Recognizing food by integrating CNN with color space and graph connectivity measures. Calorie estimation through volume analysis of food by obtaining prism/cylindrical model from single view image. Ambiguity reduction and suggestion of food using object co-occurrences to balance the diet. --Tensorflow, Caffe, Matlab & Python
Prof. G. R. M. , Implemented a searchable encryption scheme that supports both the accurate multi-keyword ranked information retrieval and flexible dynamic operation on document collection. Due to the special structure of tree-based index, the search complexity of the system is fundamentally kept to logarithmic. It achieves higher search efficiency by executing “Greedy Depth-first Search” algorithm.
Prof. Sowmya Kamath , Manifold Ranking (MR) is used to discover intrinsic geometrical structure of the IRMA medical data-set. As MR is computationally expensive, EMR is developed by building an anchor graph on the database instead of a traditional k-nearest neighbor graph and relevance feedback is maintained to improve ranking results. --Python & Matlab
