Projects

A collaborative effort that we plan to achieve a particular aim using different technologies

Flood Rescue Drone

The aim of this project is to survey the flood hit area autonomously using arial surveillance detecting and counting the victims trapped in remote and inaccessible areas and send their GPS location to the rescue base leading to a faster and efficient rescue operations.

Eye Controlled Wheelchair

The user controls the direction of the wheelchair by simply moving their eye in that direction, and stops the wheelchair by closing their eyes for 1 s.

BSE Serverless Predictor

A serverless model runs periodically using Amazon Web Services Serverless Computing technologies to update the dataset and features at a regular interval. A set of old and volatile stocks are selected and run through a LSTM Network to make daily predictions for stock price. The features are tested on alphalens and back-tested on Pyfolio.

Emotion Recognition using audio and video

In this project, Recognition is performed on seven basic human emotions which are angry, disgust, fear, happy, sad, surprise and neutral. Emotion recognition is done using video in which basic CNN algorithm is used, and it is trained and tested with the help of fer2013 dataset. For doing the same task using audio, the Ravdess dataset is used. A CNN model is initialized as an emotion classifier and it is trained on the dataset.

Soldiers

Smart Gadgets For Soldiers

It aims to develop an effective and efficient real-time health and position monitoring system for soldiers. It Collects the data of various health parameters like pulse rate, temperature etc. and live location from the user using respective sensors and Arduino and sends this data from Arduino to google firebase using Wi-Fi module. It Displays the live feed from the real-time database to a web application designed with HTML and CSS.

Traffic Light Management System

We make use of the YOLO v5 object detection model to process the numbers of cars, buses, trucks etc at any signal, and then we feed that data to a function that calculates the appropriate green signal time , based on traffic density and a few other parameters such as average crossing times. This helps in efficient regulation of traffic across junctions.

Chess Playing Bot

A bot which can play chess in real time with a real person. This bot was made with the help of Convolutional Neural Network.

Hand Cricket

In this project, we aim to develop a game in which the user plays ‘Hand Cricket’ against the computer. It makes use of OpenCV for finger gesture detection. Firstly for palm detection, we use a pre-built Palm detection model in MediaPipe. Then, our subsequent Hand landmark model performs precise key-point localization of 21 3D hand-knuckle coordinates inside the detected hand regions via regression.

Waste Detection Bin

This project has the following features -
1) It detects the presence of an approaching human and automatically opens up the lid.
2) Waste segregation is done, into dry and wet, using appropriate sensors.
3) Metallic waste is also segregated into the dry compartment, prior to non-metallic waste.
4) It measures the depth of the dustbin upto which it is filled, to prevent the overfilling of the dustbin.

Simulation Using ROS

Simulation using ROS

In this project, we have tried to conduct a drone simulation in Gazebo9 using Robotic Operating System (ROS).

Lip Reading

This project aims to develop a model which can translate lip sequences into meaningful words. It makes use of MIRACL dataset for small model preparation and GRID dataset for training the Lip-Net model. Further, a VGGFace model was used which is trained and evaluated on benchmark face recognition datasets and a Lipnet model was used on the processed videos and corresponding ctc labels.

Online Class Note Maker

Online Class Note maker can help students in creating notes. It detects text from images and PDFs. Further, it summarizes the detected text to create notes.

Twitter Impact on Stock Market

In this project, we make use of Sentiment Analysis on a set of tweets targeted at a particular company(HDFC in our case) over a period of 9 days to forecast how the market will behave in the future. The score of the sentiment analysis is then used as one of the input features for our neural network which then uses the training set along with the stock price data(obtained using the Yfinance library) for each day to get the optimum set of weights. This final regression function is then used for the prediction of future stock prices.

Weather Balloon

To create a low cost helium-filled weather balloon loaded with an Arduino Uno Board and sensors of high specificity along with gps and altitude monitoring modules.

Lidar Mapping

We performed 3D lidar mapping using ALTM (Airborne Laser Terrain Mapping) technology. We also created a UAV simulation by fitting a lidar sensor on a quadcopter using MATLAB[UAV toolbox, ROS toolbox, Image processing toolbox], Simulink & ROS gazebo.

Voice controlled chess

Voice Controlled Chess

Voice-Controlled Chess is a chess engine which works on the basis of voice commands given by the user. It is a single player game in which the other player is the computer which makes its move with minimax and Alpha-Beta pruning algorithms.

Smart Railway Alarm

This project consists of three parts-
1) Railway crossing barrier
2) Object detection on track
3) Fire alarm system in train.
The railway crossing gate consists of an Arduino system that takes input using an ultrasonic sensor. When the train approaches the railway crossing, the barrier motors rotate and close the gate. Object detection on track is done using an ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04). The gas alarm system detects smoke and alert passengers on three levels

Music Controlled LED

Music Controlled LED Lights

In this Project we planned to make a 3-Dimensional 4x4x4 Music Controlled LED Cube. Our objective was to programme the circuit for various intensity values. The circuit would detect these values from a sound/music source through a sensor and light different LEDs governing cool patterns.
