Mr. Raveendra Pilli | Image Processing | Best Researcher Award

He mentored B.Tech. projects focused on the early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease. One project involved utilizing multi-modality neuroimaging techniques, where MRI and PET images were collected from the OASIS database, preprocessed, and robust features were extracted for classification. MATLAB and the SPM-12 toolbox were used for this task. Another project focused on the early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease using deep learning networks, where an MRI dataset from the ADNI database was collected, preprocessed, and the performance was compared with baseline algorithms. For this project, he used MATLAB and Python.
