M.Tech. Project

"Terrain Change Detection" , at Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics DRDO under guidance of Narayan Panigrahi Sc 'E' GIS Group, Bangalore.

The project was basically intended to fuse the satellite images with the elevation data to get the 3-d changes on the terrain.

B.E. Project

"Inertial Navigational System" A device has been designed to tell the position of the object using force sensors.These sensors measures the force that is exerted on body when it comes to motion.This force is manipulated to acceleration and acceleration is integrated twice to get the distance moved by object.

Other Projects Undertaken

  1. Inertial Speedometer

  2. Lamp igniter

  3. Inertial Navigational System

  4. Terrain Change Detection

  5. Small scale digitization work for individuals.
