Object recognition in cluttered indoor environment
-
--Examined 3DOP, MCG and UCM pipelines for object detection and segmentation
–Evaluation of the algorithms was performed on challenging indoor NYUD2 dataset
–New methodology was built by using the individuals modules of the above pipelines which couldused in indoor environments
–Evaluation of the new methodology was performed using matlab and Caffe -
Optimization techniques comparison for Deep Learning Architectures
-
--Different variations of the SGD was studied namely vanilla SGD, SGD with momentum, AdaDelta,AdaGrad and ADAM
–3 simple Neural Network Architecture were optimized using all the above techniques
–Simulation studies were carried out on MNIST dataset for 20k iterations
–Results were reported for the cross-entropy and test set error against iterations for all the combination of algorithm and NN architecture -
Visual Place recognition for long term autonomy
-
--Implemented FABMAP in matlab to learn about the basics of visual place recognition
–Evaluated its performance on Ford Dataset and VPrice Dataset
–Developed a new approach using autoencoders to learn the season independent representation
–Evaluated performance using the deep representation for visual place recognition -
RaQueL: Robot Query Language
-
See project--Rich set of retrieval functions and programming constructs to perform traversals on RoboBraingraph.
–Support for Neo4j and Weaver(distributed) graph data-base system.
–Developed online system for proof-of-concept -
UAV localization using monocular vision
-
--Studied and implemented the localization techniques using monocular vision.
–TheRobot Operating System(ROS)was learned and implemented.
–Implemented thePTAMMandSemi-Visual Odometrypackages available under ROS forlocalisation and state estimation of the Quadrotor.
–A Simulator was analysing the performance ofBack-stepping controltechnique of the Quadro-tor was build using OpenGL and Python.
