Research Projects And Engagements
Hand Gesture Recognition System - ZAUBER
Task: An application development as a component of B. Tech Degree Final Year Research Thesis at Amity University
Technology Used: .NET framework and OpenCV.
Methodology: The application uses the onboard camera of a system to recognize various gestures and accordingly perform the operation related to it. The gesture tracking was enhanced using machine learning with a large database of active recognition region and random background images.
Secure Payroll Generation System
Task: Development of a Payroll System for The State Trading Corporation of India Limited (STC), a premier international trading house of the Government of India.
Technology Used: MS Access and Proprietary Systems.
Methodology: The system was designed to replace the manual processing of tasks by automatically generating, updating & editing salary information and other statutory reports for the employees every month and securely transferring the data to the bank upon approval with a 99.99% accuracy. The payroll system upon completion was deployed and continues to be used at the corporate office and over 10 major branches of the company across India.
Online Portal & Database Design
Task: Development of a portal and data segregation for National Informatics Centre (NIC), under the Department of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India.
Technology Used: Visual Studio, Drupal and Confidential Proprietary Software.
Methodology: An online portal was designed to securely access a segregated database containing almost a million entries about the geographical information of various constituencies in the country over the internet through www.egovstandards.gov.in.
Development of Standardized Templates for Online Filling
Task: Development of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) Module for National Informatics Centre (NIC), under the Department of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India.
Technology Used: Visual Studio, Drupal and Confidential Proprietary Software.
Methodology: The GUI based templates were built according to “Metadata and Data Standards- Demographic Version 1.1.” offering a dynamic design module enabling secure authentication through a set of validations and verifications while maintaining ease of usage.
Hostel Automation Project
Task: Development of a web-based portal for better administration at Amity University Hostel.
Technology Used: Visual Studio, Drupal and Confidential Proprietary Software.
Methodology: The project includes an intranet service providing an easy way of registering complaints with a completion time assurance to the students living in the university hostel. This portal can also be used to access important notices along with providing student information to the admin staff.
Race Track Management System
Task: Development of a complete solution for racing events held by Incarnation Sports.
Technology Used: Arduino, Proprietary Software and Open Technologies.
Methodology: A hardware and software solution was developed for automating car racing event tracking. The project provides an interconnected device setup spread across the track to manage races using different proximity sensors to obtain the data and mesh network to collect and relay it to a central control entity for processing and taking appropriate decisions.
