Amit Tilwankar

- Modeled optical transport network, node architecture, traffic behavior and network scenarios - Analyzed the energy consumption in opaque and transparent network (with/without survivability) - Evaluating the performance of energy reduction technique- software defined optics with varying: traffic volume, traffic pattern and network dimension span - - - Implemented sensitivity analysis tool to analyze the impact of varying node parameters on energy consumption

- Designed and developed a tool in Excel-VBA to analyze the power consumption of DWDM network elements using SURPASS-TransNet - Investigated the effect of varying nodal degrees, demands and distance on power consumption and also derived the relation between them

- Designed an efficient super-resolution method using hierarchical clustering of Contourlet coefficients from multiple low resolution images (based on Contourlet transform) - Implementation and analysis of various Image super-resolution and restoration algorithms

- Design and development of Video annotation tool for wide area surveillance applications - Worked on ground truth annotation of surveillance videos using Viper-GT, designed the concept list and built an interface of schema database with ground truth annotations
