Research Focus:
The fields of signal processing, image processing, machine learning, and deep learning are fascinating as they form the basics of data analytics. As far as I understand, the subjects lead the door to many interesting theoretical and applied research avenues. These concepts can be realized and implemented in dedicated software, tools, or applications, which can significantly help non-experts perform their analysis. The tremendous scope motivated me to undertake research assignments based on the foundations provided by these subjects.
To be more precise, I would like to explore machine learning applications in hyperspectral image processing, face recognition between different modalities, and industrial computer vision. Hyperspectral imaging is an advanced imaging technique that captured image information from ground scenes at hundreds of spectral bands across different electromagnetic wavelengths spanning visible and near-infrared regions. These images are very useful in accurate classification, object identification, and target detection. Deep learning and advanced pattern recognition methods will be helpful in the efficient visualization and compression of hyperspectral images. Recently recognition of visual, sketch and/or thermal facial images have emerged as an imperative task. Since, these images come from different modalities, traditional machine learning-based approaches are ineffective. Hence, I am exploring domain adaptation, generative adversarial network, and deep learning approaches for the recognition task. I also wish to explore visual recognition problems in industrial applications. This includes characterization of insulators in power plant, categorization and grading of solar photovoltaic cells, etc.
