Final Year Project
Project Title
Shape of Water (Multidisciplinary Project EE and SDP)
Description
Karachi, being Pakistan’s largest city, is the sixth most water-stressed city in the world. Our research showed that coupled with water shortages is a severe lack of management of existing urban water resources, due to a lack of planning and updated data on underground pipeline supply infrastructure. Around 42% of the extracted water gets lost or stolen. Leveraging the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for utility detection, the project addresses automation of data interpretation of GPR’s radargrams through Machine Learning for the purpose of implementing the technology on a mass scale throughout the city. This project will compare the results of Logistic Regression for pipe detection with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (MobileNet, ResNet-50 and Inception-Net). Additionally, hyperbola localization for depth estimation and pipe localization was done through Digital Image Processing and Yolo. (Group Project-Interdisciplinary)
