September 2025 - April 2026
Worked on a Train-Elephant collision prevention system using thermal vision, segmentation, and embedded deployment.
- • Researched a thermal vision-based elephant collision detection system using YOLOv8 and Vision Transformers, reaching 85.66% accuracy in low-visibility conditions.
- • Optimized inference on NVIDIA Jetson TX2 with quantization and memory improvements for strict latency limits.
- • Reduced GPU utilization from 23% to 9% through TensorRT optimization.
- • Built a TCP/IP-based gimbal controller by reverse engineering communication from captured network traffic.
- • Engineered a Computer Vision Pipeline by Merging 2 Segmentation Models to Automate the camera rotation and object detection process, improving the system's responsiveness.
- • Developed a Full-stack Satellite Image Processing web application using Google earth engine for Flood detection and monitoring in Sri Lanka.
