ISRO-IITk Space Cell, Kanpur, India

I worked on to incorporate the bounded variation property of images/videos into the Space Time Trellis Codes. We designed a hierarchichal decoder to jointly optjmize on both maximum likelihood and total variation metric. The proposed joint algorithm improved the quality of reconstructed media. Work was published in IEEE Access Journal (Volume: 8), April 2020
