Thesis Details

Ph.D. Thesis
Title: New Algorithms for Gray Scale Image Compression

In this thesis, following four new image compression algorithms were proposed: DWT-JPEG based hybrid algorithm, state-based dynamic arithmetic coding, ratio-modified BTC and modified Log-Exp transform based algorithm.Discrete Wavelet Transforms (DWT) – Joint Photographic Expert Group (JPEG) standard based hybrid image compression algorithm uses 1-level DWT decomposition with a procedure for choosing the wavelet coefficients based on energy from the three detail subbands. State-based dynamic multi-alphabet arithmetic coding algorithm adapts efficiently to the locally occurring symbol statistics. In Ratio-Modified Block Truncation Coding (RMBTC) the ratio of pixel average and block average is encoded. Lastly, Logarithmic-Exponential (Log-Exp) transform based image compression algorithm offering high CR compared to that of JPEG standard is proposed. These algorithms were also implemented and tested in FPGA.

M.E. (Embedded System Technologies)Thesis
Title: Self-modifiable Mixed-signal SoC Architecture for Embedded
Applications

In this thesis, coarse-grain SoC architecture has been proposed.The proposed architecture addresses on-chip adaptation and self-modification through real-time circuit modification algorithms by combining a mixed-signal dynamically reconfigurable hardware with a microcontroller. It is targeted at high-throughput and temporal constrained embedded systems.

B.E. (Electronics and Communication Engineering) Thesis
Title: Design and Implementation of Spironet using VLSI

The simulation of Spirometer, a device to calculate lung parameter for diagnosis and management of respiratory disorders, was implemented using VLSI technique. It is extremely complex to estimate the reference values of lung parameters obtained by Spirometry due to several potential source of variability ranging from individual characteristics to technical aspects. This project is concerned with the design of a Spironet, a neural network processor which implements back propagation algorithm to generate spirometric reference values providing more speed factor and accuracy in computation.
