research Perception for Home Robot Experimenting with various NeRF and Gaussian Splatting based SLAM algorithms to build a real-time 3D reconstruction of the environment. The methods used include NeRF-SLAM, Nice SLAM, Mip-NeRF and Splatam. Inverse Rendering with 2D Gaussian Splatting Developed a novel framework in CUDA for inverse rendering using 2D Gaussian splatting. Achieved state-of-the-art results gaining 15% lower normal map error, and obtained more consistent relighting results. Low Rank Matrix Recovery for A in-depth analysis of problem formulations for low-rank matrix recovery such as Robust Principal Component Pursuit, and algorithms such as ALM and Dual Optimization. Extended the approach to applications such as Foreground-Background separation in videos. Saturation Noise in Compressed Sensing An in-depth analysis of compressive signal recovery methods in the presence of Gaussian noise and Saturation effects. Conducted experiments on synthetic signals, images and audio. Also derived a detailed proof for performance guarantees of the novel Likelihood Maximization method. Stable Diffusion Models A brief introduction to image synthesis applications, stable diffusion models and its applications. Stochastic Primal-Dual Network for 3D Tomographic reconstruction Developed a stochastic version of primal-dual algorithm for reconstructing image volumes from CT scans. Implemented a python framework with custom Tensorflow layers and a library using Astra to aid the project. Permutation Noise in Compressed Sensing Analysis of permutation noise in linear measurement applications. Has a prominent application in group testing for Covid 19. Proposed a hypothesis testing based correction algorithm along with theory and experiments. Quantum Money Motivation for Quantum Money. Description of different quantum money schemes - secret and public key based.
