I am a 3rd year undergraduate student at the Computer Science Department at BITS Pilani, Goa Campus where I'm pursuing my Bachelor's in Computer Science with a minor in Data Science. I am currently working with Prof. Ashwin Srinivasan, Prof. Erik Meijering, Prof. Tanmay Verlekar and Prof. Manik Gupta at APP Centre for AI Research on segmentation of real time endoscopic footage and classification of skin diseases using Deep Learning on edge devices.

My interests revolve around computer vision, deep learning and computer graphics. I further wish to explore computer vision in 3D, and the recent developments in Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) really fascinate me. Interdisciplinary fields such as Computational Neuroscience and Computational Biology are also something I am keen to delve into. I am actively looking for research work related to computer vision, computer graphics and computational neuroscience. if you would like to collaborate please drop an email!

I've spent the summer as a Machine Learning Research Intern at CEERI where I worked under Dr. Dhiraj Sangwan on digital restoration of ancient Indian wall paintings using deep learning techniques. We built an end to end pipeline including dataset preparation, damage detection and inpainting. Our research paper on the same has been accepted at International Conference for Computer Vision and Image Processing 2023.

Among other interests, I play Ultimate Frisbee and am currently the coordinator of the institute team. I was also an active member of the Student Alumni Relations Cell and Nirmaan (a social welfare club).

Feel free to check out my CV and drop me an e-mail if you want to chat with me!

Hardaat Singh Baath, Soham Shinde, Jinam Keniya, Priyanshu Ranjan Mishra, Anil Saini, Dhiraj Sangwan - "Damage Segmentation and Restoration of Ancient Wall Paintings for Preserving Cultural Heritage", Accepted at International Conference on Computer Vision and Image Processing, 2023


Damage restoration of ancient Indian wall paintings using Deep Learning

Under Dr. Dhiraj Sangwan

Worked on identifying damaged regions from damaged ancient Indian murals and using image inpainting techniques to digitally restore them. We initially created an exhaustive dataset by synthetically damaging clean images of wall paintings using binary masks and textures, followed by using segmentation models for damage segmentation and GAN architecture for image inpainting.

3D NoC based Systems Design Techniques

Under Prof. Kanchan Manna

Working on finding the most optimum locations for placing TSVs on a 3D (NoC) Network-on-Chip using reinforcement learning and various optimization techniques.
