Girish Rongali

I'm an MS research scholar under Prof. Kaushik Mitra. I joined the Computational Imaging lab in January 2022. I'm working on enhancing extreme low-light images for ADAS and nighttime image sensing for increased human perception. My broad areas of interest include Computational Imaging, Computer Vision, and Deep learning.

I completed my Bachelors in Electronics and Communication from KLE Technological University, Hubballi. I majorly worked on Low-Level Vision Systems and published on the area, advised by Prof Uma Mudenagudi, Prof. Ujwala Patil and Ramesh Ashok Tabib.
