In Vasireddy Venkatadri Institute of Technology, Nambur, an insightful hands-on 1-Day workshop in the key-technical aspects of “Heterogeneous Platform for Biometric operations” was conducted for the budding Electronics and Communication Engineering students, today 20 February 2018, under the aegis of Department of ECE.
The Electronics & Communication Engineering is an elemental branch of engineering which is interleaved with all advanced streams of Engineering branches now and has plenty of opportunities in multiple platforms. In this regard VVIT always motivates their students to undergo many advanced workshops and imbibe the knowledge. Prof. P.Rajesh Kumar, HOD, Sri Ganesh, Professor, ECE Department of PVP Siddhartha Institute of Technology, Vijayawada, acted as Chief Guest & Resource person for this workshop.
After formally inaugurating the workshop, Prof. P.Rajesh Kumar, discussed at length the importance of Face Recognition Biometric applications using Heterogeneous operations. He further added that Biometrics is useful in various applications ranging from Aadhaar card information to Airport Security Applications etc. In the afternoon session Mr.Ganesh, demonstrated various aspects related to “Image Processing using FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) Framework”. He also illustrated various Hardware Projects that can be implemented by students using FPGA.
The distinguished resource persons for this workshop commended the efforts of VVIT for conducting this kind of advanced workshops.
Principal Dr.Y.Mallikarjuna Reddy, of VVIT, emphasized that their institute always conducts several advanced workshops on challenging technology to spur the research & development attitude in the students.
