Project Areas

These projects can be grouped into five major areas:

  • Medical Imaging: lung nodules, brain tumor detection, bone cancer detection, blood vessel extraction, diabetic retinopathy, skin lesion analysis, and polyp detection.
  • Computer Vision: image matching, image stitching, person re-identification, driver drowsiness detection, fruit classification, and DOM creation.
  • Image Processing: low-light enhancement, patch-based enhancement, image fusion, denoising, and segmentation.
  • Machine Learning: fake news detection, heart disease prediction, polynomial regression, and ensemble learning.
  • Deep Learning: document classification, Graph Neural Networks, and medical image classification.

These applied projects helped me build strong practical experience in transforming research ideas into working software prototypes, including preprocessing, model development, GUI design, experimentation, evaluation, and delivery of usable AI systems.
