About

Working at: https://www.pixxel.space/ Joint degree PhD: IIT Bombay, India and Monash University, Austraila M.Tech: IIT Bombay B.Tech: PDDYPIET, Pune Electronics engineer trained in remote sensing. Currently working with following keywords: Hyperspectral satellite data correction (Pre and post processing), Atmopsheric correction, Hyperspectral imaging,Drone-based sensing. PhD keywords: Drone-based sensing, Remote sensing, Hyperspectral imaging, Precision agriculture, Machine Learning, Human-Computer Interaction for precision agriculture. Research vision: To lead socially relevant and environment-friendly research programs to impact current and upcoming generations positively. I believe the projects related to the study of agriculture, vegetation, atmosphere, earth surface properties, and their interaction with electromagnetic radiation will ultimately push humanity towards sustainable growth. This can be achieved using a combination of advanced remote sensing techniques, evolving Artificial intelligence methods, and process-based system modeling.

Advanced sensing technologies can detect subtle changes in fruit composition invisible to the human eye. To build ripeness detection into the system, the team used a hyperspectral camera to measure reflectance data from the fruits. The hyperspectral data was correlated with water content and integrated into the model, resulting in two algorithms – one which can discriminate between underripe and ripe fruits with 84% accuracy, and another can further classify underripe, ripe and overripe with 75% accuracy.
