A System for Limb-Volume Measurement
In this project, we present a method for measuring limb volume and for detecting early swelling associated with lymphedema. The system relies on IR imaging sensors, such as in the Microsoft Kinect. This technique will allow for the future development of tools for self-management and specialist monitoring, and when compared to other commercially available devices, our system is less expensive, equally or more reliable/accurate, and much more user friendly.

3D Reconstruction based on Smartphone
In this project, a new 3D reconstruction system based on smart phone is proposed. The system recovers the camera positions to a global unit scale by combining the data from a gyroscop scnsor and a normal RGB smart phone camera. Accuracte 3D models can be reconstructed by low resolution images (640*480) . This system will be implemented as an smart phone application as part of American Lymphedema Framework Project (ALFP).
Surveillance Unmanned Ground Vehicle (Bachelor Capstone Project)
The goals of the SUGV are to provide the user with information about a given area by patrolling its given boundaries, and to provide to the user a system that independently charges when necessary. In this project, the GPS guidance guides the SUGV along its path and image processing is used to accurately position the SUGV in its optimal position within the garage.
Deep Learning for 3D Object Recognition
This is one part of "Comparison of Supervised Learning Techniques used for 3D Object Recognition". The choice of the right classifier is of paramount importance and might improve or worsen the recognition results. For this specific purpose, we are proposing in this work to study the effect of the classifier chosen on the recognition.
My contribution in this project is the implementation of the deep learning (DP) techenique. DP is achieved by pre-training for each layer. Each layer is trained with RBM sequentially. Then, a fine-tune is applied on all parameters of the previously built model.
