BE Final Year ProjectTitle PC Based Camera Tilt Pan System and Target Coordinate Calculation

Advisor Omar BashirDescription The video was displayed along with approximate target coordinates of the location the camera

was aligned. The coordinates were calculated using the received GPS data and tilt-pan anglesof the camera. The interface and algorithm was developed in Visual Basic and verified usingMATLAB’s Mapping Toolbox.

Term ProjectsLinux Clustering with openMosixClustering technologies allow two or more networked systems (called "nodes") to combine theircomputing resources. Software is an integral part of any cluster. A cluster was establishedusing openMosix and practically demonstrated.

A New Simulation of Spiral ArchitectureSpiral Architecture is a relatively new and powerful approach to machine vision system. Inthis project, a new approach to Spiral Architecture was presented using MATLAB.

Linux-Windows Networking using SambaSamba bridges the communication gap between Microsoft Windows and UNIX. The file sharing,printer sharing and text chatting capabilities were practically demonstrated between the twoplatforms. The Linux version used was Red Hat Linux 7.2.

Conference PapersSpherical Trigonometry and Navigational CalculationsPresented at Institute of Space Technology in 2008

This paper discusses the fundamental concepts in spherical trigonometry and its applicationto the navigational calculation. It briefly discusses the history of the spherical trigonometry.It describes the commonly used terms in navigation and spherical trigonometry. It specificallyconcentrates on great-circle and dead-reckoning navigation. It also outlines the related functionsavailable in the Mapping Toolbox of MATLAB for such navigational calculations.

Technical SkillsProgramming MATLAB, C/C++, Python

SoftwareTools

PSpice, Mathematica, Verilog

Miscellaneous LATEX, Linux, MS OfficeStrong analytical, problem-solving, technical writing and communication skills.
