This talk will comprise of two parts. The first 30 minutes will focus on the development and evaluation of an Augmented Reality System. The next 15 minutes will comprise of my research on developing Image processing algorithms.
Part 1: The first output of my research was the development of the Visual Interaction Platform (VIP). The VIP is an interaction platform (more precisely an Augmented Reality Platform) that allows users to navigate through volume datasets like MRI. The platform supports several 2D as well as 3D spatial input props. These props afford interactions such that the users can easily transfer their skills obtained from real world object manipulation. Following this prototype development, I did several empirical evaluations of different aspects of the system; like combining 3D and 2D. One consequence of the evaluation was the realization that standard performance measures like trial completion time and trial error are not sufficient to capture whether the users can control the different props. This led to the question of what is control and how to measure it? As a consequence we developed a new measure for coordination, to quantify the quality of a path and to measure the allocation of control.
Part 2: As a Masters student, my research was primarily focused on developing image- processing algorithms for fault detection in Regular texture patterns as well as developing image compression algorithms with fixed time decoding. More recently, I have been involved in developing a computer vision algorithm for human-presence detection in an office environment. In last part of the talk will present results from my work on these different areas.
Sriram Subramanian is currently winding up his PhD at the Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands. He has a Masters in Electrical Communication Engineering from the Indian Institute of Science, India. His research interests area in the area of Augmented Reality, Human-Computer interaction, Image Processing and Pervasive computing. [an error occurred while processing this directive]
