- Computer vision · Python · Robotics · OpenCV
- Built a computer vision pipeline for underwater object detection, combining white balancing, CLAHE, Canny edge detection, and custom color filtering to enhance image clarity and identify navigation waypoints.
- Designed and implemented algorithms from scratch in Python/NumPy, benchmarking against OpenCV to evaluate both visual accuracy and runtime performance.
- Applied the system to a dataset of 2,800+ underwater images collected in robotics lab conditions, demonstrating effectiveness for autonomous submarine navigation and environmental monitoring.
