Systolic Pressure Estimation Using Video Processing 

Description

Designed and implemented a low-cost and convenient method to estimate systolic pressure using video processing. The method extracts pulse transit time between the neck and the wrist using video processing, which includes feature extraction, feature tracking, temporal filtering, principle component analysis, etc. After obtaining the pulse transit time, linear regression analysis is done to estimate systolic blood pressure. 

Technologies used 

Matlab, Harris Corner detection, Lucas-Kanade tracking algorithm, bandpass filter, Principle Component Analysis

Database System Implementation

Description

Developed a query execution engine which receives a simplified XQuery and an input XML file and evaluates the query. The system parses the query into an abstract tree representation (using ANTLR4), optimizes it (using hash-based join), produces a list of output nodes, and constructs a result file in the form of XML. 

Technologies used

Xpath, XQuery, XML, ANTLR4, Java

System Measurement Project

Description

Implemented and performed a series of experiments to measure the performance of Ubuntu 13.10 on a Dell Studio XPS 13” with Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8600 @2.40GHz

The measurements included 4 categories:
- CPU, Scheduling, and OS Services: task creation overhead, context switch overhead, etc.
- Memory: RAM access time, page fault service time, etc.
- Network: RTT, connection overhead, etc.
- File System: file read time, contention overhead, etc. 

Technologies used

All code was written in C
