PROJECTS

       *  MS THESIS:  Developed software for Compression of UltraSound
          Medical Images Using an Adaptive Vector Quantization Algorithm
          - The algorithm combines both lossy and lossless techniques to
          ensure acceptable image quality. The thesis also involves the
          comparison of quality vs compression for different types ( such
          as mean removed, oriented ) and different sizes of codebooks
       *  Developed software for various lossy and lossless techniques
          for image compression
       *  Developed a menu-driven user utility using MOTIF X-Toolkit
          for DSP/DIP applications which will enable the user to
          select a program, modify and save its parameters, and run
          the program
       *  Developed GUI using X-windows for displaying motion of a
          satellite while it is being computed
       *  Designed a modified wiener filter for restoring randomly
          blurred images and compared its performance with Pseudo-inverse
          filter, conventional wiener filter using both subjective
          and objective criteria
       *  Developed Software for restoring images from magnitude only
          / phase only information of its fourier transform
