Confidential

Technical Lead/ Engineering Specialist

Responsibilities:

• Features detection IP: was the generic algorithm used in Face Detection where classifiers were modified to use CMOS sensors technology for road sign detection for automotive systems, bar code detection (retail, mobile apps) etc.
• Initial code deliverables included bar code (1D) decoding algorithm with detection and road signs detection for automobile sensors.
• Delivered high quality software of Face Detection subsystem based on Voila Jones algorithm starting from requirements analysis, design (documentation) and complete coding ownership ( performed with Adaboost machine learning algorithm).
• Integration with mobile camera subsystem, pre/post silicon bring up verification, IP validation tests, to build regression suite using python scripts and later RAM patches for new features or enhancements. The algorithm includes face tracking too and based on the face coordinates, the camera performs autofocus and auto-exposure functions.
• The project won many s/design-wins (Apple, HTC etc.)/best white paper in ST Tech week/appreciation across the ST divisions (HED ) and introduced in market with Blackberry Torch/Playbook and later products for HTC too and similar technology was planned to be used in future Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Won client confidence in early prototyping phase and core team confidence with architectural improvements.
• Marketing requirements analysis, resource allocation, Hardware/Software work distribution.
• Feasibility study of post processing algorithms that includes face detection and tracking, video stabilization using vector information from hardware and H.264 protocol study wherein NAL packets will be delivered to the device and file storage would be done in QT MOV file format.
