Image Forgery Detection
				In the current era of technology and multimedia we find ourselves 
				surrounded by Digital Images. Considering the rapid advancement 
				in Image Processing it has been very easy to manipulate any digital 
				image using sophisticated tools like PhotoShop, CorelDraw etc. This 
				proposed thesis shall provide some methods and algorithms that will 
				attempt to restore authenticity and integrity in digital images.
				
				
				
				Advance High Level Content Based Image Retrieval system for 
				Logo and Trademark Distinctivity
				Find out similar deceptive Trademarks from a database on the basis 
				of their colour, texture, shape, spatial features and text within 
				them. 
				
				
				De-skewing, De-warping and De-noising of perspectively distorted 
				documents: A comparision between Geometrical Methods and Machine 
				Learning Approach.
				The main research directions in camera captured document analysis 
				is to deal with the page curl and perspective distortions. Current 
				document analysis and optical character recognition systems do not 
				expect these types of artifacts and show poor performance ,when 
				applied directly to camera-captured documents. The goal of text 
				de-skewing is to re-orient the skewed text lines and the goal of 
				text de-warping is to flatten a camera-captured document such that 
				it becomes readable by currently OCR systems. We will use Support 
				Vector Machine and Neural Network for our Machine Learning Approach.
				
				
				
				User state modeling using EEG signals
				Interface is the most crucial part of any system. Traditionally 
				the evaluation of interface is done by surveys or think-aloud method 
				which don't give valuable insight into the user's changing experience 
				throughout the task. The motive is to develop objective technique 
				to measure user states such as workload, emotion and fatigue in 
				real time using EEG signals of UI evaluation. 
				
				
			
		 
		
			
Facial expression recognition from Audio-Visual information using 
			Wavelet and Curvelet transform
			Facial expression recognition is an interesting topic of research. This 
			project proposes the combined use of Wavelet Transform and Digital Curvelet 
			Transform for recognition of facial expression from video. 
			
			
			Computer Vision based Virtual keyboard (Projected or Generic)
			A projected visible virtual keyboard that can be touched on any surface 
			and a video screen. The webcam watches finger movements using "Computer 
			Vision" and translates them into keystrokes in the device. The proposed 
			system will thus represent a ultracompact, portable computer. 
			
			
			Text Detection and Localization in Natural Scene Images
			Text detection and analysis from natural scene images using hybrid techniques 
			of signal and image processing.

Digital Image Forgery Detection 
				Three types of image forgery detection was done:
				1. Image Composting.
				2. Image Enhancement.
				3. Copy Move Forgery.
				
				
				Lesion detection in eye due Diabetic Retinopathy.
				This system, with the help of morphological image processing techniques, 
				we are trying to detect lesions in two categories i.e. dark and 
				bright lesions 
				
				
				Content based Image Retrieval using Trademark Database
				Content based image retrieval (CBIR) has been an active area of 
				research due to its wide range of applicability and the major reduction 
				in effort that it provides. This work focuses on the use of CBIR 
				systems in the field of intellectual property rights. Preventing 
				trademark infringement was the main objective of this project.
				
				
				
				Graph Based Energy Efficient Data Gathering in Wireless Sensor 
				Networks
				Data gathering plays an important role in several applications of 
				wireless sensor network. Better protocols are always needed to improve 
				the lifetime of the network. This thesis analyses the existing approaches 
				and proposes a Greedy Multilevel Clustering Algorithm (GMCA) of 
				data collection which makes a dynamic path for multiple nodes to 
				connect to the base station (BS) in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) 
				which results in increment of the lifetime of the WSN. 
				
				
				A new multilinear discriminant analysis method for face recognition 
				with fewer features under illumination and expression variations
				This project makes use of fewer and effective features than traditional 
				algorithms without relegation in recognition accuracy. 
				
				
			
		 
		
			
Human action recognition in video stream
			This project focused upon recognizing human actions such as walking 
			,running, jumping, bending etc. A scalable algorithm. It uses interest 
			point detection for achieving the same. 
			
			
			Question Answering System(Open Domain)
			This system fetches the answer from huge database on the bases of syntactic 
			and semantic similarity. 
			
			
			Hand Gesture Recognition using Data-Glove
			This thesis work, a real-time Human-Computer Interaction system based 
			on the DG-Tech VHand 2.0 data glove(Bluetooth version) has been designed. 
			Recognition of hand gesture accurately and successfully using data glove 
			has been done. 
			
			
			Detection of Crop Diseases in Fruits and Vegetables using Plant 
			Leaf Image Dataset.
			This system provides a robust Automatic Plant Leaf Identification and 
			Disease Detection Biometric System which is capable to recognize plant 
			leaves by the visual characteristics of plant leaf.
