Automatic Image Caption Generator (Software)

We built an automatic photo caption generator using a pre-trained VGG16 model to extract image features, a word embedding layer followed by an LSTM-RNN layer to process the text, and a dense layer to combine the outputs of the two segments to produce a final qualitative prediction.

Tools used: Python, Keras, Anaconda

Health Care Kit (Hardware)

We built a multifunctional tool that could measure a person's temperature and heart rate and calculate blood pressure using a linear regression model. We integrated cloud storage with an Android app to visualize the data in real time.

Tools used: Arduino Mega 2560, Node MCU wifi module, LN 35 sensor, PPG sensor, Java

Template Detection in Videos (Software)

We built a tool to detect when a short template appears in a long video, using a linear template-search algorithm to address a growing industry problem in analyzing long videos.

Tools used: Python, OpenCV

Temperature Controllable Heater (Hardware)

We built a controllable liquid heater that maintained the liquid's temperature at a specific value indefinitely.

Tools used: ATMega32 Microcontroller, LN35 sensor

Comparison of Traditional Database & ORM Tools (Database)

In this project, we compared the data storage and retrieval performance of traditional database systems and ORM tools and found that ORMs perform much faster than traditional relational databases.

Tools used: Java, NHibernate, PostgreSQL

Online Learning System (Software)

We built a multi-client server system that can run quizzes for different clients concurrently and save the information of the highest-scoring quizzers.

Tools used: Java
