Summer of 2010

So the Summer of 2010 is almost over and it’s time for me to head back to college for the final year of my Bachelors. Time passes so soon...Here is a flashback of how I spent this summer break.

I have a passion for technology and wanted to take up some challenging research work in my area of interest this summer. I applied for the UGC Summer Internship Program 2010 at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc) under the Electrical Engineering Department and was among the 20 students in India to be selected for it. I worked under Prof. A.G. Ramakrishnan at the Machine Intelligence and Language Enginnering (MILE) Lab and was guided by one of his PhD. student, Thotreingam Kasar. My project was on Camera Based Document Analysis and Recognition, to be more specific, the topic was “Robust Text Detection and Extraction in Scenic Colour Images”.

I am very busy currently but would try to include the technical details of the project in the coming posts as I get time..
