Projects

• Visual SLAM for underwater robots: In this project, an underwater dataset (VAROS) was used to perform visual and visual-inertial SLAM. ORB-SLAM3 algorithm was used with different image processing techniques to enhance the underwater images. [report]
• Dsac* with homography loss: This project was a part of the data driven machine perception course. It is about reiplementation of DSAC*. It is a learning-based visual re-localization method to get the camera 6-D pose (the camera rotation and translation) from single new image from the specific scene. This can be done by training DSAC* on the specific scene images. DSAC* is a combination of Scene Coordinate Regression with CNNs and Differentiable RANSAC (DSAC) for end-to-end training. We investigated the effect of Homography based loss function in the training process and how the loss function performs in these kind of problems.
• Dynamic Positioning system for offshore vessel: This project was completed as a part of the Marine Control System I course. The system can perform station keeping and set point following with different weather conditions.
• CNN-based model for Micro-crack Detection of Solar Panels: A CNN based model was created to detect micro-cracks in the solar PV panels.
• Base-5 number system calculator (sum, subtraction, multiplication and division): Designed in Proteus and implemented using TTL gate ICs.
