<ul>
<li><strong>Monitoring factory workers’ performance with Kinect (2014)</strong>: Used deep learning to measure the quality of activity of factory workers. It performed well in varying lighting conditions, distances and orientations of workers w.r.t. the Kinect.</li>
<li><strong>Tracking finger-gestures using Kinect to control a PC (2014)</strong>: Won 1st prize in BITS-Pilani technical festival 2014 in appliances category.</li>
<li><strong>Compiler-construction course project (2014)</strong>: As part of a course project, developed a compiler to compile a toy language to x86 assembly code.</li>
<li><strong>Many-to-one P2P media streaming (2013)</strong>: Designed & developed UDP based many-to-one media streaming protocol.</li>
<li><strong>Context aware home automation system (2013)</strong>: Involved tracking humans using motion detection, blob detection, skin detection and stereo cameras.</li>
