Current Projects

UAV Research

We are exploring efficient UAV guidance, navigation and control algorithms for UAVs in urban applications. Development of a low cost modularized UAV testbed for HIL simulations. Also effective use of mini FLIR and hyper-spectral cameras for people, vehicle and terrain detection. Use of acoustic for target classification and localization. Autonomous indoor navigation based on sensor fusion.

NoC Research

Efficient router design for VC channel buffer utilization, VC allocation, Routing algorithms, Mapping Algoirthms, etc.

Transportation Engineering

Development of pedestrian count and tracking algorithms, pedestrian-vehicle conflict detection system.
