EDUCATION University of Maryland, College Park, MD USA   PhD Program in Electrical Engineering   Enrolled: Aug 2004 - present   Advisor: Prof. Larry S. Davis   Current GPA: 3.92   Government College of Engineering, Pune, University of Pune, India   B.E., Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering   Enrolled: July 2000 - July 2004   Stood 2nd out of 1600 students in my junior year and within the top 10 students in my senior year. WORK EXPERIENCE University of Maryland, College Park - Computer Vision   Graduate Research Assistant   Duration: Nov 2004 - present Research Projects: Tracking and Identity Maintenance: We develop algorithms to improve the tracking and recognition of humans in a single as well as multiple camera framework. We incorporate motion and appearance models as well as learned priors on trac movements between cameras. Our appearance models include subjective descriptions of appearance of individuals that we obtain from a detailed clothing segmentation. We are also working on incorporating coupling information between targets in the scene. The Bowerbird Project: Sociobiologists collect huge volumes of video to study animal behavior. Our collaborators work with over 30,000 hours of video of Satin Bowerbird courtship videos. We improve on off-the-shelf track- ing algorithms that prove incapable of handling videos characterized by poor quality, drastic illumination changes, non-stationary scenery and foreground objects that become motionless for long stretches of time. Recognizing Actions from Static Images: Motivated by psychological studies of human vision, we present an approach to recognizing human actions from static images that combines human segmentation and pose analysis with scene and object recognition.   Object Video, Inc., Reston, VA - Computer Vision   Internship   Duration: Jun 2006 - Aug 2006 Unusual Event Detection: We characterize events in terms of spatial locations of objects in an image over time. Projecting a sequence of binary images onto a lower dimensional subspace yields an eigentrajectory. A particle filter framework is used to incrementally match temporal trajectories, build models of usual activities and classify unusual ones.   Cirrus Logic Software Ltd. Pune, India - Audio Processing   Internship   Duration: May 2003 - May 2004 Incorporated the wavelet transform in audio compression as opposed to present day DCT and FFT based compression schemes. Increased the encoding speed by substituting the detailed psychoacoustic analysis with a wavelet-coeffcient based statistical analysis.   University of Pune, India - Robotics   Internship   Duration: Sep 2002 - Apr 2003 2nd prize recipient at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-Bombay) at All-India Robotics Competition in 'Autonomous robot' category. Our robot is designed to solve and run a maze in the shortest possible time.   Government College of Engineering, Pune - Steganography   Research experience for undergraduates   Duration: Jul 2002 - Sep 2002 Devised a method to compare the original image with the new image (containing hidden data) based on the local matrix gradient. INTERESTS Computer vision, Pattern recognition, Machine Learning COMPUTER SKILLS Platforms: Windows, Linux Languages and packages: C, C++, Matlab, OpenCV GRADUATE COURSE WORK Random processes in communications Image processing and understanding Computer vision Estimation and detection theory Object recognition and representation Advanced DSP Pattern recognition Medical image analysis Computer architecture Graphical Models HONORS AND AWARDS 2nd prize recipient at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-Bombay) at the All- India Robotics Competition in the 'Autonomous robot' category. Secured the 2nd rank out of 1600 students in my junior year. Recipient of the National Talent Search scholarship awarded by the Government of India to the top 0.01% students in the country at the high school level. Secured the 1st prize at the All-India Physics Lecture Competition organ- ised by the Indian Physics Teachers Association for my lecture titled Radar and Stealth Bombers.
