Research Work
Shape Matching
Given two sets of points that represent two different shapes(say two different brain scans), we do
shape matching to compare the two different shapes and match them by minimizing the distance
between them under translations. We can match them by keeping one of the point set fixed and
translating the other point set to match the first
Database
I started working on large databases. Presently I am collecting data from the google base using
the google base API to work on them.
Projects
Voronoi Diagrams of Near Linear Size
Spring 2009
A compressed quad tree based replacement for approximate voronoi diagrams with near linear
complexity using hierarchial clustering and prioritized point location among balls and with applications for improved approximate nearest neighbour search using point location among equal
balls.
Root Planner in Google Maps
Spring 2008
This project intends to develop an application which determines the route having the lowest cost
between two arbitrary points selected by the user and calculating the distance between those
places. It also provides features like providing separate blog for every user so that every user
can upload his/her points on to the map and show it to others , finding the areas and perimeter
on the map surface .
Multi-Data Format Support for MDM
Summer 2007
It is about building components that can integrate with MDM Business Services, so as to provide
MDM content in different formats like JSON, RSS, and ATOM etc... depending on users request.
Forwarding in a Content-based Network
Fall 2007
It is about forwarding packets to those all related terminals based on the content of the message
and predicates provided along with the message instead of forwarding based on IP or MAC
addresses.
ISSUE TRACKER
Fall 2006
The Issue tracking process is the process used to receive issues over phone/email, report them,
analyze, resolve and close the loop. The Issue Tracker will be the repository for all issues and
requests and associates will resolve issues/requests received by them in the system.
