Since my background is Computer Science, part of what I am interested in is the design and analysis of algorithms in Pattern Recognition such as Connected component, Chain code, Clustering, pattern matching, nearest neighbors, etc.
These problems can be realized as a part of Computational Geometry. Another main area of interest is Similarity measure. Objects to be matched can be various in type. Amongst, I have suggested solutions to star, linear, tree, and angular type histograms and character similarity.
Finally, I was involved in a challenging project, "Handwriting Verification and Identification", which was granted a U.S. Patent in 2009. My mission is to provide the objective algorithmic approach to the HI problem.
