University of Pune, Pune, India


Masters Thesis :
------------------

Opto-electronic Multifractal Wavelet Analysis for Fast and Accurate Detection of Rainfall in Weather Radar Images

The prime goal of the research thesis was to develop an automated and fast algorithm for accurate rainfall detection in weather radar images.

- Three different algorithms were developed with extensive programming in Matlab. The final algorithm was a combination of optical simulation and image processing.
- Algorithm and code development for processing of acquired weather radar images using wavelets.
- Algorithm and code development for an optical simulation of the radar image processing to ensure real time processing.
- Code development for an existing rainfall detection technique in Matlab.

Semester Project:
--------------------

Discrete Control system for a DC Motor

- Personal contribution involved comprehensive development of a hardware interface program in Labview to control the speed of the DC Motor.


Undergraduate Design Project:
----------------------------------

PC Based Heart Rate Monitor

The project objective was to develop a device to monitor and measure the heart rate.

- A transducer consisted a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) and a high intensity LED. The transducer constructed with the LED and the LDR sensed the heart beat at the tip of a finger, by sensing the change in the optical transmission properties of blood.
- A signal conditioning circuitry employing op-amp based amplifier and pulse shaping.
- A software written in C which detected the heart beats by measuring the time period between two adjacent patterns of the heart beat signal generated by the transducer connected to the PC parallel port.


SEMINAR:
-----------

Field Communication and Field-bus

- Presented the method of operation of field-bus communication, topologies, access techniques and the benefits.
- Discussed the HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) protocol, its method of operation, structure and advantages.
