Video Analytics
This project is aimed at early prediction of Parkinson’s disease through computerized analysis of online handwriting samples. While a number of clinical evaluations are carried out to diagnose the Parkinson’s disease, most of these tests are effective only once the disease is at a relatively advanced stage. Studies have shown that analysis of handwriting can be used as a valuable tool for prediction of Parkinson’s disease at very early stages. In the proposed research, we have employed raw signals captured by a digitizer tablet while attempting several writing and drawing templates, to compute various kinematic, temporal, and pen-based attributes. In addition to these online dynamic attributes, static offline visual features are also extracted using state-of-the-art Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The developed tools allow practitioners to collect handwriting and drawing samples of subjects and employ a combination of different types of features (online and offline) for the analysis and prediction.
This is a media monitoring platform. A comprehensive video analytics system is developed that detects and recognize news ticker text from video stream and store that in the database, so that it can be retrieved later and analyzed. State-of-the-art AI-based algorithms are applied for text detection and recognition of Urdu text. Analytics are also done based on the keywords detected. News analysis and summarization can be done based on this news data.
