Computer Vision Engineer

May 2013 – Dec 2013 · 7 mos · Gurugram, Haryana, India

It's the Funding organisation for one of my projects as mentioned in Project section as "Infotainment System for Indian Markets". I worked here for 8 months and accomplished Hardware and Software Implementation of Real time "Static hand Gesture recognition system".
Highlights -
Worked on Raspberri Pi microcontroller and designed smart algorithms over Matlab & OPENCV in order to capture real time hand images in front of the raspberry pi 5.0 camera and detect no of fingers or position of thumb shown and then based on every single gesture an infotainment system task is assosiated like volume up, down, Music change etc.
