Saurabh Palande

I am a graduate student at the University of Maryland, College Park, pursuing my Professional Master’s degree in Robotics (M. Eng. Robotics) and expecting to graduate by May 2023. My expertise lies in Computer Vision, Autonomous navigation, Robotic Manipulators, and Industrial Automation

3D Super-Resolution of CT and MRI Scans using CNN

Implemented and Trained the CNN-IL algorithm in the existing IEEE journal paper on IXI dataset. Proposed and Trained improved custom networks for super-resolution in height-and-width and depth directions in PyTorch by rewiring skip connections, adding ELU activations and adding more layers. Improved SSIM and PSNR using the above custom network.

Face recognition

Implemented advanced machine learning algorithms, including Bayes' Classifier, kNN Classifier, Boosted SVM, and kernel SVM (using linear, polynomial, and RBF kernel), for face recognition without using in-built functions. Applied PCA to the dataset to find directions that maximize the variance and MDA to find the directions that maximize the separation between classes to further improve the prediction accuracy.
