Computer Science Projects
Interactive C Shell
- Course: - Operating Systems
- Developed a user-interactive shell in C, implementing the major features of GNU/Linux shell like piping, redirecting, handling background and foreground processes
File Sharing Protocol between client and server
- Course: - Communication Networks
- File sharing protocol is created between client and server using socket programming which had functionalities like Indexed searching, File Hashing (using MD5 checksum), File transfer (UDP and TCP) and caching.
Style Transfer for Headshot Portraits
- Course: - Digital Image Processing
- Headshot portraits are a popular subject in photography but to achieve a compelling visual style requires advanced skills that a casual photographer will not have.
- Presented a technique to transfer the style of an example head-shot photo onto a new one. This can allow one to easily reproduce the look of renowned artists. At the core of our approach is a new multiscale technique to robustly transfer the local statistics of an example portrait onto a new one. This technique matches properties such as the local contrast and the overall lighting direction while being tolerant to the unavoidable differences between the faces of two different people.

Universal Style Transfer via Feature Transforms
- Course: - Computer Vision
- Given a pair of examples the content and style image, universal style transfer aims to synthesize an image that preserves some notion of the content but carries characteristics of the style. The key challenge is how to extract effective representations of the style and then match it in the content image.
- Objective is to develop a universal style transfer approach with a decent visual quality and efficiency.
- Used VGG-19 as the feature extractor. Our algorithm pipeline is in 3 steps. 1) Reconstruction (Encoder and Decoder) to calculate weights. (Used Coco DataSet). 2) Whitening Coloring Transform 3) Multi Level Stylization.
- Patch Transfer is also done as an additional study.
Face Classification
- Course: - Statistical Methods in AI
- Performed data reduction techniques like K-PCA, LDA and build classifers using Multi Layer Perceptron(MLP) and Support Vector Machines(SVM) on popular datasets for distinguishing image classes.
Multi Dimensional Divide and Conquer
- Course: - Operating Systems
- Used this paradigm to solve domination and closest point problems in k-dimensional space and performed complexity analysis.
- Algorithms analyzed are All-points ECDF problem, ECDF Searching Problem, Maxima Finding, Maxima Searching, Range Searching, Fixed-Radius Near Neighbors, Nearest Neighbours.
