Please find a document summarizing my PhD dissertation work and its possible application to ‘Augmented Reality’ here.

 

As part of my research project on joint feature tracking and segmentation, I software-designed an Object Oriented version of the KLT feature tracker in C++. The design rearranges the data members of the problem into easily understandable classes. The code builds on the existing C implementation of the KLT tracker provided by Stan Birchfield (some functions are borrowed from there). The new code/library is object oriented and makes it much easier to add additional functionality on top of the KLT tracker. This code is distributed under Apache License Version 2.0. Being part of my research codebase, it is in active refinement as you read this. Please download the OOPTracker code from here.

 

As part of the Faculty Venture fair organized during the ECE Research Review day, I made a Venture Capital pitch for BlindVision, which is an Augmented Reality and Navigation system for Blind people. Please find the slides of the talk here. The press release can be found here.
