Participating Teams

Teams from Deep Learning and CNN subject

Gesture Fly

CNN based Gesture Recognition for Tello Drone Command Execution and Face Recognition for Authentication. The actions trained for controlling the drone are based on the navigation functions of the Tello drones. The novelty of the project lies in the authentication of the person, thereby securing the control of their drone itself.

RoadWhisper

Driving is common, but staying fully aware is challenging, especially when tired or in unfamiliar areas. This can lead to distracted driving and missed signs or animal collisions. Our project uses advanced computer vision and deep learning to assist drivers, enhancing situational awareness, improving safety, reducing fines, and protecting wildlife.

EmotionAI

Emotion is crucial for building social connections and a sense of belonging. People with ASD often struggle with understanding emotions, affecting social interactions. EmotionAI uses computer vision for instant emotion recognition via a camera, enhancing spontaneous social connections in daily life.
