Projects

MS Course Project

NEURAL NETWORK FOR CLASSIFICATION OF STARS AND GALAXIES.

  • Created a pipeline to download FITS files from Sloan Digital Sky Survey(SDSS) sky observatory and converted files into images (numpy array).
  • Developed a star-galaxy classification framework that uses a Neural Network model on these images.
  • Trained model using Convolution Neural Network with the help of TensorFlow library.

Pdf to Text

Google Cloud Platform implementation for text detection and recognition.

  • I started this project as a way to learn GCP and it has since grown into a fully end-to-end python project.
  • I have learned many skills after this and been I’m very proud of having this in my profile.

Freelance

Few freelacing projects done by me.

  • Developed a machine learning based python program to detect mobile manufacturer names using mobile images.
  • Applied statistical method for image generation in multiple NFT projects.
  • Created a neural network project which can classify currency notes.
  • Applied Deep Learning method for Character Recognition in Devanagari Languages.
