Project Details: Due to large number of CCTV deployment in the city, it is difficult to monitor minutest details by a human operator. It can be even more tedious and time consuming when looking for a particular person in the video. The human describable features can is used to automatically retrieve person from the recorded surveillance video

Project Details: Specifically, this proposal would focus on the analytical modelling for the coexistence between C- V2X and Wi-Fi 6, which doesn’t prevail in the existing literature. This proposal would also compute the activity statistics of the Wi-Fi users like on and off period duration, duty cycle, distributions of on and off period duration, their moments using machine learning/deep learning approach and exploit it to have fair spectrum sharing with the C-V2X users.

SRF: Hiren Galiyawala
Project Detail:
The goal of the project is to locate a person-of-interest based on specific set of soft biometric attributes from a surveillance video without prior registration. The project will integrate and minimize semantic gap between human descriptions and soft biometric traits. Moreover it aims at extracting soft biometric features from an input image or a video frame and then uses these features to locate a matching individual in the video stream. This project will add another dimension to surveillance as human cognitive perceptions are used while searching the video streams.

Project Detail:
Geo-spatial data is very important to develop flexible and versatile functions and applications, for developing multidisciplinary applications, helping in planning, managing and utilizing natural resources efficiently using spatial analysis. We need common standards for data integration and effective analytical infrastructure and we aim to use OGC standards for big data processing of spatial data. The core scientific and technological objectives are:

SRF: Vaibhav Joshi, DA-IICT
Project Detail:
Biometrics based authentication systems have been gaining widespread acceptance in the information security domain. However there are several loopholes in biometric systems. This project aims at improving the security and authentication mechanisms of biometric systems by using complementary data hiding techniques. Fragile watermarking will be used to check the integrity and authenticity of biometric templates before identification. This will improve the overall security.
Techniques for Robust Face Recognition with Pose Variations (2012 - 2015)
Sponsoring agency: Board of Research in Nuclear Science (BRNS), Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India.
Grant Amount: Rs. 19,00,000
Research Team:
Principal Investigator: Suman Mitra, Professor, DA-IICT.
Co-Investigator: Prof. Mehul S Raval
Project Collaborator (PC): S K Parulekar, Scientist H+, Head Computer security division, BARC, Mumbai.
Project Details:
Face recognition is the most common and natural means for person identification. This has been a prime focus of research since the introduction of digital technology. Within the scope of machine vision, face recognition sets a great challenge due to the dynamic conditions under which face images are captured. One of the most challenging tasks is to recognize the face under varying poses. Research is continuing to propose more robust face recognition systems, especially under pose variations. An additional challenge is face recognition from partial information or when the face has undergone some changes. The present project aims to improve the face recognition system so as to handle pose variations and face recognition from partial information. Most of the current systems of face recognition try to get face features which are global in nature and then use these in recognition. Here, a system would be built that captures global as well as local features to make more accurate decisions. The present system would also take up a modular approach that would enable recognition from important areas such as the eye region, the lip region and so on. This could be an answer to recognize faces even under disguise.
