Automatic Image Caption Generator (Software)

We built an automatic photo caption generator using a pre-trained VGG16 model for transforming the images into feature representation, a word embedding layer followed by an LSTM-RNN layer to process the text data, and a dense layer to combine the output of the two segments to make a final qualitative prediction of the output produced.

Tools used: Python, Keras, Anaconda

Health Care Kit (Hardware)

We built a multi-functioning tool that could measure the temperature and heart rate of a person and calculate the blood pressure using a linear regression model. We integrated cloud storage and an Android app solution 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 the time of occurrences of a short template in a long video using a linear template searching algorithm to solve a growing industry problem of analyzing long videos.

Tools used: Python, OpenCV

Temperature Controllable Heater (Hardware)

We built a liquid heater whose temperature was controllable, and the heater was able to maintain the temperature of the liquid at that specific temperature for an indefinite amount of time.

Tools used: ATMega32 Microcontroller, LN35 sensor

Comparison of Traditional Database & ORM Tools (Database)

We compared the performance of data storage and fetching performance of traditional database systems and ORM tools in this project 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 take quizzes of different clients concurrently and save the highest-scoring quizzers' information.

Tools used: Java
