Welcome to my homepage!
I am a PhD student at the University of Bonn and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tuebingen working with Dr. Juergen Gall on Object Detection.
Detecting objects in images is a crucial aspect of computer vision and my work is towards modeling household objects during their interaction with humans. This problem is challenging due to poor resolution, occlusion and articulations. However, the presence of a human is a useful cue that can be utilized towards solving the detection problem efficiently.
I did my masters in Computer Vision in 2012 from the University of Burgundy, France where I worked with Dr. Desire Sidibe as a student assistant.
I studied Electronics and Communication during my bachelors at the National Institute of Technology, Calicut, India.
