Face Recognition in Unconstrained Environment
The goal of computer vision is to provide the ability to machines to understand image data and infer the useful information from it. The inferences highly depend on the quality of the image data. But in many real-world ... -
Energy-Efficient Data Fusion Techniques for Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are finding increasing use in applications such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and healthcare due to their low cost and ease of deployment. However, the nodes in a ... -
First-principles based study of graphene inserted tellurene-metal interface
Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted extensive research interest since the journey started with the successful isolation of graphene in 2004. 2D materials have shown remarkable advancement in the ... -
Hardware Emulation of a Long Transmission Line by High Frequency Power Electronic Converter for the study of Switching Transients
To ensure smooth functioning of the grid, the reliability and robustness of the power system equipment needs to be precisely evaluated during their development process. But direct on- eld tests of most of the equipment ... -
Robust Algorithms for recovering planted structures in Semi-random instances
In this thesis, we study algorithms for three fundamental graph problems. These are NP-hard problems which have not been understood completely as there is a signifiicant gap between the algorithmic and the hardness fronts ... -
