Short Bio:

 

I am a second year PhD student at UCF working under the supervision of Prof. Mubarak Shah. Prior to joining UCF in the Fall of 2010, I worked for year at University of Engineering and Technology as a Lab instructor from where I also earned by BE degree Electrical engineering in the Fall of 2009.

 

                       

Recent Research Projects:

Scene modeling using motion patterns: PerSeas [2010-2012]

 

 

In this project we use track or optical flow data to extract motion patterns from a scene which serve as descriptors of the activity in the scene. These patterns are obtained by a hierarchical linking of clusters of flow or tracking data. They can then be used to detect anomalous behavior in traffic flow.

Similarity invariant classification of events by KL divergence minimization: PerSeas [2010-2012]

 

In this project we aim to model events found in traffic scenes using motion patterns obtained from a hierarchical clustering of optical flow. Two events are then compared by warping them in such a way that their KL divergence is minimized. We accomplish this using an iterative warping approach. After this a dissimilarity score may be computed using KL divergence.
