Credit Card Optical Character Recognition with OpenCV + Tesseract
Built a lightweight, sub-0.5s/image pipeline to read 16-digit card numbers and cardholder names from card photos using OpenCV (template matching) and Tesseract (OCR). On a small, hand-labeled 23-image set, the baseline achieves 48% recall on PAN and 65% on name. With feasibility of low-latency data capture (fraud/risk, checkout autofill) established, next steps include dataset scaling and custom OCR training to reach production readiness.

Smart Video Analytics: Motion Detection for Security & Monitoring
Led development of an intelligent video monitoring system that automatically detects moving objects in security footage. Successfully evaluated 8 different detection algorithms across 53 test videos, achieving 96% accuracy in ideal conditions and 82% in challenging lighting scenarios. This solution enables automated security monitoring, parking occupancy tracking, and retail analytics without requiring constant human oversight.
