• Developed ADAS subsystems for autonomous race car and delivery vehicle fleet. This included research and development in perception stack, image processing, sensor fusion, and deep learning algorithms.
• Developed SLAM using sensor fusion through EKF for autonomous navigation in Matlab.
• Trained an R-CNN-based object detector for stop/school sign detection using the CIFAR10 training dataset in Matlab.
• Performed free space estimation, lane detection, and 2D object detection base on semantic segmentation output.
• Determined the intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters (camera calibration) for stereo camera images using the least square approach to establish a camera model for the world and the camera frames.
• Presented a conceptual overview of sensor fusion and the working of EKF and particle filter.

India

• Designed and manufactured an autonomous paper fragmentary as a preprocessor for a paper bowl punching machine. This included systems integration of mechatronic systems, microprocessors, and mechanical actuators. Also.
• Employed an Arduino as a timer and controller for two dc motors operating the rolling and cutting actuators.
• Performed color detection, shape/contour detection, face detection, and object detection through OpenCV.
• Implemented image segmentation for computer vision in an AV environment using scikit image module in python.
• Programmed a 3 DOF robotic manipulator for pick and place action using Lua script in CoppeliaSim.
