I am a Ph.D. candidate and a research assistant in computer science at University of aryland Baltimore County, Baltimore-MD. Currently, I am working in the Eclipse cluster lab. Prior to joining Eclipse cluster lab, I was a graduate student and research assistant in Logistics Information and Technology at Pusan National University. I worked there with Dr. Bonghee Hong in the Ubiquitous Computing Database Laboratory. I completed my undergraduate in computer science, the University of Dhaka.

Research Interests

I am interested in data driven system development in computer vision. In specific, my works span on applications about computer vision-based assistive technology, sensor data to monitor human health status and apply machine learning in designing automated speech recognition applications.

Projects

Vision-based Realtime Accessibility Issues Detection

The project aims at using machine vision to detect accessibility issues on sidewalks for helping people with visually-impairment. A prior-based framework is designed to accelerate the computer vision detection process in embedded devices, which uses a cooperation of human and machine.

Demo

Vision-based Accurate Bus Stop Localization

We target to detect and localize bus stop accurately to improve the accessibility of bus station for blind riders. A bus stop detection system is developed and implemented completely in a smartphone platform.
