Design and Interpretation of a Convolutional Neural Network Architecture for Imaging Mass Spectrometry Data

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have emerged primarily from research focusing on image classification tasks and as a result, most of the well-motivated design choices found in literature are relevant to computer vision applications. CNNs' application on Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS) data is quite recent and involves new challenges, such...

Characterizations of Deformable Mirror in a Sensorless Adaptive Optics System

Deformable Mirror (DM) is the key part in the AO system. Characterization of DM is important as it maps between input voltage signal and output mirror deformation. The precision of characterization largely affects the control performance. While characterizing the DM with wavefront sensors is easy and straightforward, there is very few research...

Extended Scene Deep Learning Wavefront Sensing for Real Time Image Deconvolution

Ground based telescope imaging suffers from interference from the earth’s atmosphere. Fluctuations in the refractive index of the air delay incoming light randomly, resulting in blurred images. A deconvolution from wavefront sensing system is an adaptive optics system that measures the modes in which the light is corrupted (i.e. the wavefront)...

Multi-frame deep learning models for action detection in surveillance videos

Visual surveillance technologies are increasingly being used to monitor public spaces. These technologies process the recordings of surveillance cameras. Such recordings contain depictions of human actions such as "running", "waving", and "aggression". In the field of computer vision, automated detection of human actions in videos is known as...

High Accuracy Eye-Tracker For Proton Clinic Environment

This project aims to improve the accuracy of the eye tracking system, which consists of two cameras and two infrared LED light sources. This highly non-invasive technology, which is the feature-based video-oculographic eye tracking system, determines the position of the eye by monitoring the eye features such as the pupil center and glints. The...
