Mrs. Helen Victoria – faculties from SRMIST – KTR Campus.
The first session on image processing was handled by Dr.
V.M. Gayathri. She gave the participants a hands-on session
on image clarity, edge detection, grayscaling, blurring, and
face detection. The 2nd and 3rd sessions were conducted by
Mrs. Helen Victoria where she discussed vision transformers,
Sequence-based prediction, CNN & RNN, Attention mechanism, Workshop on data science using
Patch embedding, Positional embedding, etc, and concluded
with a hands-on session on image classification with vision python with hands-on sessions
