Signal Processing for Modern Wireless Communication Systems

The research group is motivated to contribute in the field of wireless communications by providing new algorithms to achieve high data rate. Currently, group members are working on estimation, tracking and modeling of time-variant mobile radio channels under high speed scenarios for the modern wireless communications systems e.g. LTE, LTE-A. Accurate knowledge of the mobile radio channel at the receiver is essential to achieve high data rate. Group members have already designed a MatLab based LTE standard conformed baseband simulator to investigate new channel estimation techniques.

Image Processing and Computer Vision Research Group

Image Processing and Computer Vision Research Group entails to address the latest problems and challenges of image processing and computer vision. This group would primarily be concerned with development of image processing tools and prototypes. In the domain of image processing, initially the group would try to implement a pilot project on Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and Hand-Gesture Recognition system for silent speakers. This research group would also try to develop its expertise in Human Action Recognition and Content-based Image/Video Retrieval and Remote Sensing using Satellite imaging. Whereas in the area of computer vision, our research group would try to investigate various techniques of non-rigid structure from motion, 3D reconstruction of rigid structures from archaeological images. Video Registration and Mosaicking are considered to be important challenges which would also be addressed.
