Enhancing Facial Emotion Recognition Using Image Processing With Cnn, Sourabh Deokar

Master's Projects

Facial expression recognition (FER) has been a challenging task in computer vision for decades. With recent advancements in deep learning, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown promising results in this field. However, the accuracy of FER using CNNs heavily relies on the quality of the input images and the size of the dataset. Moreover, even in pictures of the same person with the same expression, brightness, backdrop, and stance might change. These variations are emphasized when comparing pictures of individuals with varying ethnic backgrounds and facial features, which makes it challenging for deep-learning models to classify. In this paper, we …

Image-Based Real Estate Appraisal Using Cnns And Ensemble Learning, Prathamesh Dnyanesh Kumkar

Master's Projects

Real Estate Appraisal is performed to evaluate properties during a range of activities like buying, selling, mortgaging, or insuring. Traditionally, this process is done by real estate brokers who consider factors like the location of a house, its area, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, along with other amenities to assess the property. This approach is quite subjective since different brokers may arrive at a different quote for the same property depending on their analysis. The development in machine learning algorithms has given rise to several Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) to estimate real estate prices. Real estate websites use such …

Presentation Attack Detection In Facial Biometric Authentication, Hardik Kumar

Master's Projects

Biometric systems are referred to those structures that enable recognizing an individual, or specifically a characteristic, using biometric data and mathematical algorithms. These are known to be widely employed in various organizations and companies, mostly as authentication systems. Biometric authentic systems are usually much more secure than a classic one, however they also have some loopholes. Presentation attacks indicate those attacks which spoof the biometric systems or sensors. The presentation attacks covered in this project are: photo attacks and deepfake attacks. In the case of photo attacks, it is observed that interactive action check like Eye Blinking proves efficient in …

Graph Classification Using Machine Learning Algorithms, Monica Golahalli Seenappa

Master's Projects

In the Graph classification problem, given is a family of graphs and a group of different categories, and we aim to classify all the graphs (of the family) into the given categories. Earlier approaches, such as graph kernels and graph embedding techniques have focused on extracting certain features by processing the entire graph. However, real world graphs are complex and noisy and these traditional approaches are computationally intensive. With the introduction of the deep learning framework, there have been numerous attempts to create more efficient classification approaches.

For this project, we will be focusing on modifying an existing kernel graph …
