 About Me
I graduated from RV College of Engineering (Computer Science), Bangalore in the Year 2005. I am presently working in Yahoo Software Development Centre, Bangalore.
 Projects
'Indexing of Document Images into true XML Structures'
Content is extracted from text based pictorial images by an optical character recognition system and is converted to xml structures. It is implemented purely in C++ .

`Video Summarization and Retrieval using Singular Value Decomposition'
The technique uses SVD properties that captures both the temporal and spatial characteristics of the input video in the singular vector space to summarize the video. It was implemented using Matlab and Visual Studio C++.

`Video Summarization Using R-Sequences'
A content-based adaptive clustering technique that uses the representative frames to comprise representative sequences (R-Sequence) which is used for temporal summarization of video. The project was implemented using Matlab and Visual Studio C++.

`Localization of Ad-hoc sensor networks'
The project involved locating a network of unattended sensor nodes that have been deployed in a scene at unknown locations. It was implemented in nesC for programming motes for tinyOS and in Java for localization and the front-end. More..

'MyVoice'
A speech recognition software, which executes voice commands. The implementation is a novel combination of extracting the characteristics of the audio signal using LPC and a computational approach of using artificial neural networks in identifying the correct sample. This project was implemented in C and octave was used for digital processing. More..

 Papers
A Connectionist Framework For Feature Based Speech Recognition Using Artificial Neural Networks.
A novel design which combines Linear Predictive Coding and Artificial Neural Networks to recognize speech.

Linux Cluster Possibilities in 3-D Photo Quality Imaging And Animation
A design of a high performace pvm cluster that parallizes POV ray. The rendering engine was modified to work in a distributed environment and to compose the final image on the cluster/netowrk.

Iterative Image Based Video Summarization by Node Segmentation
A simple video summarization method that aims at eliminating similar frames by a process of segmenting the entire video into clusters where similar frames are clustered into one group.

Design and Implementation of a Process Migration System for the Linux Environment
A user space process-migration implementation which obviates the need for kernel support.

 Presentations
LINUX ASIA 2006: Gambas: Gambas Almost Means BASic The presentation was intended to highlight the applications, features and architecture of Gambas, which is a free application based on a Basic interpreter. More..

FOSS.IN/2005: Add More to Firefox The presentation was intended to highlight the extendible features of Firefox and the ease with which extensions can be written
