2. PROJECTS HANDLED
Project : Smart Water Management System (Internet of Everything)
Role Description : Team Lead, Coding and pushing the data on to server to monitor
and analyze necessary conditions.
Project Details : Depending on the level of water in the Overhead tank the system is
designed to turn the motor ON/OFF according to the predefined
levels, and the corresponding data is uploaded on cloud using GPRS
for monitoring purposes (which will be beneficial for the user),
Whenever the water level in the sump is below the predefined level
SMS is send to the Water distributor using GSM.
Skills & Tools Used : Arduino, Interfacing sensors and actuators, Embedded C,
GSM/GPRS, Ultrasonic Sensor, DC Motor.

Project : Adaptive Forward Collision Warning System
4. Project Details :
System which allows the driver to take appropriate actions while driving, which in turn reduces the
risk associated with it. Driver will be able to monitor the situations being carried outside. This
project is being carried out using tools such as Opencv and Point Cloud Library (PCL). Opencv is
used for Image Processing purpose which includes the major steps such as Object detection
(Background Subtraction), Object Classification (Training Histograms and SVM), Object Tracking
and the points are generated, PCL is used for storing and manipulating all the data points which are
obtained, By applying different algorithms we will find Relative distance based on which the
necessary actions are carried out.
Role Description : Team Lead, Responsible for Data Storage and Manipulation, Making
Codes Compatible for different environments.
Skills & Tools Used : PCL, OpenCV, Android Studio, Eclipse
