Research
My objective is towards maintaining an appetite for original research in Computer Science; an appetite that has been whetted by opportunities, failures and eventual success resulting in a small but significant contribution to the field. My research interests are specifically Computer Vision, Computer Graphics and GPU programming.
My interests are in geometric problems in computer vision, like large-scale structure-from-motion and robust estimation techniques. At IIIT-Hyderabad, I work with Dr.P.J.Narayanan.
I've also worked on some vision-related research projects with Dr.C.V.jawahar. I developed a multi-GPU approach to calculate the SIFT features. Projects
Undergraduate Thesis
-
3D Reconstruction: Large scale structure from motion by reducing the computational bottleneck of the process.
Shubham Gupta, Siddharth Choudhary and P.J.Narayanan.
Ongoing undergraduate thesis, Under this project, the main stress is to reconstruct 3D models from 2 dimensional data (Photos) on the GPU.
{Note: Submitted and is under review in ICARUS '10 [Indian Conference for Academic Research by Undergraduate Students].}
Other Major Projects
-
Nvidia CUDA Implementation of SIFT Detector [link]
Under guidance of Dr.C.V.Jawahar
Scale-invariant Feature Transform algorithm is a powerful algorithm to extract information from a real-world image. This is an implementation of the detector part of this algorithm, which works on Single/Multi-GPU machine.
Electronic Museum Guide [link]
Under guidance of Dr. Jayanthy Siwaswamy
In this project, I implemented SIFT algorithm on CPU to match an image from the image database of the museum.
Weather Prediction of next three days using improved Nearest Neighbour method [link]
Under guidace of Dr. Anoop Namboodri
In this project, I implemented an algorithm to predict weather of the following three days by using the weather data of the last one/two years. In this, the weather of the next three days are predicted by using the answer of Nearest Neighbour and also the data of the last day's weather. That means a certain special weightage is given to the last days weather also.
Showing any cut-plane of a 4-D data using Oct-tree in real time [link]
Under guidance of Dr. P.J.Narayanan.
This project deals with the visualisation of 3-D data by any cut plane. By using this project one can view the 3D volume data (4D if data is changing in time) by any cut plane, which can be rotated/translated according to the requirements.
Own Grpahics APIs [link]
Under guidance of Dr. P.J.Narayanan.
The objective of this project was to design our very own OpenGL-like Graphics API. The first part developed the complete graphics pipeline starting from Object Reference Coordinates to Screen coordinates through the steps of modelling, viewing , projection and view-port .The second part involved clipping and scan conversion.
Released Software
-
multi-GPU approach to find SIFT features (on Nvidia GPUs). [link]
Software calculates SIFT features using multi/single GPU(s).
Teaching Experience
- I was a teaching assistant for the course Computer Programming twice. [One in my 5th semester and another in my 7th semester.]
- I was a teaching assistant for the course Computer Systems during my 6th semester.
- I am now enjoying the teaching assistantship for the course Computer Graphics.
