Academic Achievements
- [{'Title': 'Synthetic Video Generation for Robust Hand Gesture Recognition in Augmented Reality Applications', 'Conference': 'HANDS workshop at the 17th International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2019', 'Authors': 'Varun Jain, Shivam Aggarwal, Suril Mehta, Ramya Hebbalaguppe', 'Abstract': 'A GAN-based framework capable of generating photo-realistic videos with labelled hand bounding box and fingertip.'}, {'Title': 'GestARLite: An On-Device Pointing Finger Based Gestural Interface for Smartphones and Video See-Through Head-Mounts', 'Conference': 'PAIR workshop at the 33rd AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) 2019', 'Authors': 'Varun Jain, Gaurav Garg, Ramakrishna Perla, Ramya Hebbalaguppe', 'Abstract': 'A lightweight hand-gesture recognition framework in First Person View for wearable devices. It works on commercial off-the-shelf smartphones attached to generic video see-through head-mounts like the Google Cardboard and challenges the interaction paradigms of expensive HMDs such as the Microsoft HoloLens and ARCore/ARKit enabled premium smartphones.'}, {'Title': 'DrawInAir: A Lightweight Gestural Interface Based on Fingertip Regression', 'Conference': 'HANDS workshop at the 15th European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) 2018', 'Authors': 'Gaurav Garg, Srinidhi Hegde, Varun Jain*, Ramakrishna Perla*, Lovekesh Vig, Ramya Hebbalaguppe', 'Abstract': 'Deep learning for real-time pointing hand gesture classification that works on monocular RGB input.'}, {'Title': 'Scalable Measurement of Air Pollution using COTS IoT Devices', 'Conference': '10th International Conference on COMmunication Systems & NETworkS (COMSNETS) 2018', 'Authors': 'Varun Jain, Mansi Goel, Mukulika Maity, Vinayak Naik, Ramachandran Ramjee', 'Abstract': 'Analyses spatio-temporal coverage of air pollution in Delhi and proposes a framework to estimate air pollution (PM value) for a locality by using the existing infrastructure of monitoring stations and looking at factors, such as traffic conditions and greenery. Built regression models to estimate the pollution level and evaluated it across areas in Delhi.'}, {'Title': 'AirGestAR: Leveraging Deep Learning for Complex Hand Gestural Interaction with Frugal AR Devices', 'Conference': '16th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) 2017', 'Authors': 'Varun Jain, Ramakrishna Perla, Ramya Hebbalaguppe', 'Abstract': 'Deep learning for recognizing complex 3-dimensional marker-less gestures (Bloom, Click, Zoom-In, Zoom-Out) in real-time using monocular camera input from a single smartphone.'}]
