BIO
I am a Ph.D student at University of Maryland, College Park, working in the Computer Vision Laboratory with Professor Larry Davis. My current research involves using modern computer vision techniques like stacked graph convolutional networks for activity segmentation and deep learning to detect image metadata tampering.
Before this, I completed my M.S in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University , M.Tech at IIT Kanpur and B.E at Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur. I have taken courses based on computer vision, image processing, machine learning, databases and statistics. At Stanford, I was working with Professor Silvio Savarese, on tiny and indistinct object detection and tracking in a crowd.
During the course of my stay in the US for my M.S and Ph.D degrees, I have completed 4 internships at SRI International, One Concern Inc., Meta Co. and Pantry Labs. All of these experiences helped me in developing a strong base in the fields of Machine Learning and Computer Vision.

Research
1. Detecting and Tracking ants in their colony
Collaborators: Shabaz Patel and Alexandre Alahi
Develop an algorithm based on neural networks to detect very similar and small objects like ants in extremely crowded environments.
2. Low Resolution Scene Representation for Retinal Prostheses
Collaboraters: Ayesha Khwaja and John Doherty
We generated an information rich representation of the scene that can be output to the retinal implant that displays scene at a low resolution
Overall Algorithm Flow
Labelling results on our datasets
3. Perfect Moments
Collaboraters: Ayesha Khwaja
We took multiple images of a group of people, selected their best faces and replaced these faces in the reference frame to get the perfect picture.
The first two columns show the input images captured, the third column shows the results of homography and pyramid blending, and the last column show the results of template matching
4. Recognizing products inside a fridge
Collaboraters:Maxime Bassenne
We tried to recognize items placed in a fridge using SIFT matching on segmentation results on difference images.
Our Algorithm
5. Analysis of real camera lenses
Collaborators: Ayesha Khwaja, Atinuke Ademola-Idowu
We tried to estimate the PSF of camera lenses and use it to deblur captured images.
6. Dense Stereo Matching Using Machine Learning
Collaboraters: Nattamon Thavornpitak, Ayesha Khwaja
We tried to estimate stereo map using SVM and K-means algorithm and Daisy Features
Results obtained using all techniques mentioned above(pixel location, pixel padding and correlation matching). The top row is the image and groundtruth and the bottom row is disparity value obtained from SVM(left) and K-mean clustering algorithm(right).
