👩🏽🚀 Projects
Non-Discriminatory Haar-Cascade classifier
+ Built a non-discriminatory haar-cascade classifier implemented using OpenCV in Python which uses an extensive dataset to train a facial recognition model.
+ Trained the model with a wide variety of positive and negative samples and deployed the cascade classifier as a .xml file.
Raspberry-Pi Object detecting module
+ Built and deployed a 3.5 Inch TFT Raspberry Pi module to act as learning aid/disability aid.
+ Assembled and developed the module to be a pocket-sized aid to classify objects and generate voiceover for alt-text/image descriptions for detected objects.
Neural Network Library
+ Wrote an extensible deep neural-network library using NumPy free from the abstraction-based overhead of libraries such as Keras, OpenCV, and TensorFlow.
