Notable Projects
Work-Related Projects
ID Number, Face and Name Recognition
Team Leader (Eblocks Software Pty Ltd, South Africa)
2019
Given a South African Identity Document, the task was to: extract the name of the bearer, extract the identity number and also extract the face of the bearer into a directory for future references.
Face Recognition
Team Leader (Eblocks Software Pty Ltd, South Africa)
2019
Given a two images, the task was to identify if these two images are the very same person or not. In the event that they are not the same person, a warning should be made in case of possible impersonation. A certain image is deemed the original, and the secon (or other images) as the comparing images. If the comparing image(s) does not match the original image, a warning is made for that very image.
House Value Prediction using Machine Learning
Applicant (Argility Pty Ltd, South Africa)
2018
A dataset was collected about the median house values in certain areas. Given this data, we developed a machine learning model which is able to predict the value of a house in an area.
Machine learning based count of people’s entrance and exit of a mall
Co-Team Leader (Raphta Pty Ltd, South Africa)
2018
The task was to develop a computer vision problem based on deep learning to count the number of people going in and out of a mall (or office).
Driver Distraction Monitoring System
Team Leader (Raphta Pty Ltd, South Africa)
2018
The task was to develop a system which is able to warn the driver to concentrate on the wheel. This warning is triggered when the system sees that the driver is either using a cell phone or looking sideways or seemingly not concentrated on the wheels. Angle measurement is a major feature to this.
‘Object Detection’, ‘Optical Character Recognition’
Team Leader (Raphta Pty Ltd, South Africa)
2018
The tasks involved in these two projects were to develop a machine learning model which is able to identify certain objects and a machine learning model which is able to identify numbers (0-9) and English letter alphabets (A – Z).
‘Vehicle Classification’, ‘Non-Product Identification’
Team Leader (Raphta Pty Ltd, South Africa)
2018
The tasks involved in these two projects were to develop a machine learning model which is able to identify different vehicles (Truck, Bus, Car or Motorcycle) and a machine learning model which is able to identify a product which does not belong to a certain manufacturer.
Academic
Real-time Driver Alertness Monitoring using Deep Learning Architectures
Masters Project (WITS University, South Africa)
2018
Given the contribution of driver distraction to many motor vehicular accidents, I am developing a real time alert system which monitors the driver state based on facial features and then trigger an alarm when the driver is sleepy (or sleeping). This system is developed to wake drivers up (in the same way as an alarm clock) or allow for the driver to hand over the system to the autonomous vehicle (where applicable).
Credit Card Fraud Detection on Credit Cards
Bsc (Hons) project (WITS University, South Africa)
2017
This research project was inspired due to the astounding loss to credit card frauds in South Africa as stated by SABRIC. South Africa has lost over 4 billion Rand to credit card fraud. I thus created a machine learning model which is able to predict that a transaction on a credit card is fraudulent or not. Given the imbalance problem of this domain too, I tackled the problem of imbalance by applying sampling techniques.
Computer Based Examination System for the Visually Disabled
BSc (Hons) project (Universite Internationale du Benin, Benin Republique)
I developed a computer based examination system, where the computer reads out the questions and the options (in the case of multiple choice questions) and allows the examinee (student) to respond with spoken answers too.
