Summer Intern, Computer Vision (OCR) - National Informatics Centre
Worked as a Summer Intern to build an OCR system for the Chakma script, focusing on digital preservation and accessibility. Implemented and trained a convolutional neural network using Python with TensorFlow and OpenCV to classify characters. Created a data augmentation pipeline to expand a limited dataset and improve model robustness and generalization. • Designed and implemented an OCR pipeline tailored for a low-resource script • Trained and evaluated CNN models using TensorFlow and OpenCV • Built data augmentation (rotation, scaling, noise injection) to increase dataset size • Assessed performance on a validation set to achieve high character recognition accuracy
