Detection of autistic individuals using facial images and deep learning

ASD, a neurological condition, impairs social development. Traditional diagnosis is costly and time-consuming. Recent research uses facial images to detect ASD. This paper uses pre-trained deep learning models classify children's faces, achieving up to 87% accuracy using MobileNet.

Dense Disparity Map Generation for Images Captured by Lunar Rover Navigation Camerag

This work presents a novel approach to generate accurate disparity maps for rover navigation on celestial bodies with moon-like surfaces. It includes image rectification, disparity map generation, refinement, and occlusion handling. The method outperforms previous approaches in experimental data.

Research Intern

I have worked on “Generating stylized captions for images using deep learning” under the guidance of Ms. P. Ramadevi. Features had been extracted using a pre-trained convolutional neural network. My work included changing the layers of the recurrent neural network using Long Short Term Memory(LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Units(GRU) to generate the captions. The insights gained during the internship are unparalleled and have played a pivotal role in my career.
