Infrared Drone Detection & Tracking
First-place solution at the ICIP2023 challenge for drone detection and tracking in distorted infrared surveillance video — robust detection under degraded imaging conditions.
Visual Object Tracking
Cascaded detector-sensing improvements to SiamRPN++ for more accurate, resilient single-object tracking (SiamRPN++D).
Perimeter & Intrusion Sensing
Long-range laser-based intrusion detection and IoT implementation for perimeter surveillance; energy-based seismic sensing for ground movement detection.
Signals, Systems & Control
Foundational work and teaching in Signals and Systems, Control Systems, and Linear Integrated Circuits underpinning applied sensing and tracking research.
Human–Computer Interaction
Early research in gesture and motion tracking for HCI (Wii Remote tracking), and AR/VR visualization for maps and virtual workbenches.
Doctoral Research
Ongoing PhD research in the Electrical Engineering department at IIT Tirupati (2021–present), building on this applied research base.
Selected Outcome
In 2023, research led on infrared imaging-based drone detection and tracking won first place in the IEEE ICIP2023 Challenges and Workshops track for drone detection and tracking in distorted surveillance videos — see the Publications page for the full citation.
