Alstom
01.2022 - Current
  • Depth Analysis and Thickness Measurement using 2D-Camera for Brakepad using Image Segmentation and Profiling.
  • Developed an automated pipeline for BrakePad detection and profiling using a hybrid approach combining deep learning (UNet with VGG-16) and traditional image processing.
  • Implemented image segmentation to isolate BrakePad regions from RGB input images.
  • Designed algorithms for Contour Detection, Contour Outlining, and Orientation Correction to standardize BrakePad alignment.
  • Engineered a profiling method to calculate BrakePad thickness using pixel-based distance measurements and trigonometric transformations.
  • Converted linear pixel distances to angular measurements for precise profiling.
  • Integrated reference object mapping to convert pixel dimensions to real-world units (mm).
  • Delivered a robust end-to-end solution for BrakePad analysis in rail component inspection systems.
  • Tech Used: Python, OpenCV, CNN (VGG-16), UNet, Image Segmentation, Contour Detection.
  • Achievements: Won Bronze Medal Award


  • Tire Defect Detection -
  • Led the development of an automated tire defect detection system using Raspberry Pi-based multi-camera setup and machine learning models.
  • Designed and implemented image acquisition pipeline including segmentation, perspective transformation, and 360 image stitching.
  • Developed ML models for tire defect classification (VGG-16) and object detection (YOLOv8), achieving 99.21% training accuracy and 98.66% validation accuracy.
  • Built a frugal lab setup using acrylic boards and configured 16 Raspberry Pi cameras for real-time data capture and streaming.
  • Created a local dashboard for defect visualization and integrated cloud-based storage for centralized data access.
  • Collaborated with cross-functional teams across Chile and Bangalore for hardware setup, data collection, and system integration.

  • Integrated the solution with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier for on-device inference, optimized for low-latency performance and robustness in noisy conditions.
  • Collaborated on system architecture involving microphone arrays, network switches, and TCMS integration, and designed a local test bench for internal validation and simulation.

Research Fellow

NGN Lab
12.2020 - 09.2021
  • Worked in NGN Lab in Anna University, MIT Campus under the supervision of Dr. R. Gunasekaran.
  • Worked under networking domain in UAV sector working under Gazebo and Robotic Operating System.


  • Aerial Surveying of Drone over Construction Site by Integration of Algorithms in Gazebo using ROS and Ardupilot.
  • The UAV is simulated and implemented through the integration of, Image Recognition with YOLO and Obstacle Detection and Avoidance with LiDAR, as well as employing YOLO to recognize objects from pre-trained image datasets for effective monitoring.

Mentorship

Brightnet
  • I mentored a group of 20+ students of my town, for the domain of Web Design & Development. Under this, I covered the basics of HTML, CSS and JAVASCRIPT.

Teaching

Self
  • Successfully made my students learn all the basics, of C/C++, and they got pumped up after they start solving the online questions.
