PROJECTS

 

  • Research Experience – Video authentication (integrity and sender verification) for H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 Main Profile by using a digital signature. The digital signature is calculated using the Digital Signature Standard (DSS). The signature is carried in the Supplemental Enhancement Information part of the H.264 bit stream. The digital signature embedded is unique for every coded sequence of the video.                          
  • Implemented the JPEG Baseline system and varied the quantization matrix to study the effects of quantization on reconstructed image quality.
  • Physical layer simulation for a mobile-satellite based wireless modem subject to Rician channel fading with BER comparison for various values of power.
  • Application of Variable Length Coding such as arithmetic coding, Huffman coding, Exp-Golomb coding and Run length coding to Images and Video sequences.
  • Submitted a term paper on “Multimedia over ATM” as part of course work in Advanced Data Networks. The paper covered transport of compressed video over ATM and issues such as selection of AAL (ATM Adaptation layer), service class selection and constraint posed by Video on Demand applications.
  • Performance comparison of discrete transforms such as DCT, DST and KLT for the first order Markov Process using different values of correlation.
  • Applied various quantization (scalar and vector quantization) and interpolation schemes to images.
  • Transform coding of grayscale images using various transforms such as KLT, DCT, DST and Slant demonstrating the transform’s compaction ability.
  • Undergraduate Final Year Project: - Designed and implemented Distributed Numerical Control (DNC) for controlling CNC’s (Computerized Numeric Control) without operator intervention on a Windows based Platform for Antech Microsystems (Pune, India). Software implemented in Visual C++.
