Projects
During my B.Sc., I did several projects on Signal Processing, Image Processing, Wearable Technology, and Machine Learning (ML). My main achievements and involvements include Object Detection and Segmentation, Diabetic Disease Detection and Classification, the development of a Support Vector Machine (SVM) for efficient card recognition, and the creation of a wearable system to aid in posture correction, and blending hardware and software solutions.
I have also used Deep Learning applications that implement Yolo and OpenPose for accurate face recognition and real-time human body detection and tracking.
My bachelor's Project was the implementation of an electromechanical system to control microscope samples to automate the image acquisition process.
