and Studio softwares such as 3DS Max and Maya , OpenGL and several C++ based
visualization toolkits. Simulation includes 3D modeling , texturing and real-time
animations.
3. LowCost Motion Tracking – Developing and testing a Low Cost Motion Tracking Jan 10-Jun 10
system using camera systems such as Nintendo Wiimote , Kinect system with
real-time virtual environment . Research consists of studying motion tracking using
multi-camera system ,which is used to track objects and human body. The System is
based on real time Image processing using C++ and C# toolkits. Visualization for
system setup is carried out in VTK and GUI is designed in MATLAB. System is
used for process evaluation as well as ergonomic analysis.
4. Multiple Camera System Setup Toolbox – Designed and developed the toolbox to Jan 10-Jun 11
Design multiple camera setup for small area as well as wide area motion tracking.
The toolbox is designed in MATLAB as well as VTK. Toolbox can be used for any
type of camera with random placement and orientation of cameras. Algorithms for
visibility of points inside the 3D area, integration of vision systems by Horn’s method
and Dijkstra’s method for evaluating shortest path based on accuracy are implemented.
The VTK module is designed for visualization of complete system along with cameras
Setup and area covered by tracking system.
Graduate Engineering Projects:
1. Automotive gearbox design and simulation: Successfully designed an automotive gearbox
based on specific engine properties such as hp, torque and dead load on vehicle. Implemented design
of machines laws for designing gears with real time dimensions. Modeled gears in UGS NX and
performed assembly of 3D models. Simulation of gearbox wasdesigned using OpenSceneGraphusing
real time rendering techniques. The project was successfully completed as part of course work.
2. Realtime filtering of positiontracking data: Designed a realtime filter in C++ and MATLABusing
digital signal processing (DSP) techniques. The purpose of data filtering and smoothing the motion
capture data was accomplished. The filter was designed according laws and researches on ergonomics
studies. The system was successfully implemented in research for using motion capture system for
ergonomics analysis. The evaluation of realtime system wasdone in CAVEusing virtual environment
for assembly processes.
Final Year Undergraduate Engineering Project: The project was to develop a Solar Radiation
Concentrator without tracking. Main objective was to find an alternative for the tracking system used in
conventional solar energy concentrator. Modeling was done using AutoCAD and Pro/E. After research a
dome shaped concentrator was manufactured and thermodynamic testing was carried out using heat sensors
and MATLAB. The objective was successfully achieved. Whole project was funded by University of Pune.
Project was selected for symposium arranged by Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources (India).
Engineering Seminar: F1 Aerodynamics and its importance in designing an F1 car. The report consisted
of study of various designing aspects of an F1 car in perspective of aerodynamics. Analysis of technical
details of car design. And explanation of its importance in designing an F1 car. Also its influence on
current automobile design.
