Dr. Kaushik Mitra leads the Computational Imaging lab at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras. He is an Associate Professor in the department of Electrical Engineering, IITM. Before joining IITM, he was a postdoctoral research associate with Ashok Veeraraghavan at ECE department of Rice University. Here, he worked on framework for analysis of Computational Imaging (CI) systems. Prior to that, he earned his Ph.D in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, where his research focus was on the development of statistical models and optimization algorithms for computer vision problems. Currently, his research interests are in computational imaging, computer vision and machine learning.

B H Pawan Prasad, Computational Imaging Lab, IIT Madras

B H Pawan Prasad

Pawan as he would like to be called in short has been working in the domains of Computer Vision and Computational Imaging in last 15 years. He is currently purusing his PhD (external) at IIT Madras under the guidance of Prof.Kaushik Mitra (EE, IITM) and Dr.Lokesh Boregowda (Samsung Research). He has worked in companies such as Texas Instruments and Samsung Research. His works in the areas of computational imaging has been instrumental in getting the best camera experience for millions of mobile consumers. Some of his noted works are in High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDR), Multi Frame Super Resolution, Low Light Imaging, Artefact removal such as Reflection Removal and Shadow Removal, etc. These works have been succesfully commercialized in millions of Samsung mobile devices. His current research interests include fast and efficient approaches to Image Enhancement such as reflection removal, denoising, deblurring, etc using learning based approaches.
