Project Description
What is this project all about
This project develops an automated system to detect brain strokes from MRI scans using deep learning. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are employed for image classification, with OpenCV handling image preprocessing. The solution is built in Python for medical image analysis and early diagnosis support.
Scope: The project focuses on classifying MRI brain images to predict strokes using CNNs and OpenCV. It includes image preprocessing, model training, and evaluation but excludes real-time diagnosis integration or clinical deployment.

Developed an AI-powered quality control system for tyre manufacturing that monitors production line videos in real-time. The system uses computer vision to analyze manufacturing video segments and compares them against ground truth data to identify deviations in the production sequence. When delays or anomalies are detected at any manufacturing step, a GenAI pipeline is triggered to perform root cause analysis and provide reasoning for the delays. The solution is hosted on AWS cloud infrastructure and helps manufacturers maintain optimal production efficiency and quality standards.
