Five-Days Online Workshop on "Advance MATLAB and its Applications"
organized by Indian Institute of Information Technology, Kota
3rd - 7th February, 2021
IIIT Kota organized a five days’ workshop on “Advance MATLAB and its Applications” from 3rd - 7th February 2021. Dr. Isha Malhotra, Professor from Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurugram attended the online workshop.
The main objective of MATLAB online workshop organized by IIIT, Kota was to create awareness among the professionals and faculties about applications of MATLAB.
Matrix laboratory is a high-level language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization, and programming. Using MATLAB, one can analyse data, develop algorithms and create models and applications. The language, tools and built-in math functions provide to explore multiple approaches and reaches to solution faster than with spread sheets or traditional programming languages. MATLAB can be used for a range of applications including signal processing and communications, image and video processing, control systems, test and measurement, computational finance and computational biology.
The organizers of the workshop had arranged ten online sessions over the period of five days. The major topics covered during the sessions were:
- Introduction of linear algebra with MATLAB
- Image and Signal Processing
- Machine Learning/Deep Learning Application
- Modelling and Control System
- Cryptography and Communication System
Day 1: 3rd February 2021
Sessions on “Basics of MATLAB Applications” and “Introduction to Digital Image Processing” were delivered by Dr. Priyanka Harjule, IIIT Kota. During the sessions, discussion was focused on basic software aids in MATLAB, data types, mathematical expressions, tapping array operations, loops, working with MATLAB files, differentiating in use of script or function.
Related to image processing, the procedure to capture and analyse the details of captured image with MATLAB code using coordinate conventions was also discussed.
Day 2: 4th February 2021
Second day online sessions was on “Hands on Simulink”, “MATLAB on Electrical and Electronic Circuits” and “Introduction to Machine Learning for Signal Processing”. The resource person of the sessions were Dr. Aupam Kumar, IIIT Kota, Dr. Ashok Kherodia, and Dr. Sandeep Raj, IIIT Bhagalpur. They discussed the utilization of MATLAB work in the application areas of Electrical and Electronics Circuits. Machine Learning is an inference with machine to make it learn decision maker based on past experience. MATLAB helps to identify patterns, analyses past data to infer the meaning of data points to reach a possible conclusion.
Day 3: 5th February 2021
Resource person from MathsWork, Dr. Dhruv Chandel had taken the sessions on “Deep Learning” for images and signal processing. The effectiveness of Neural Network toolbox and Fuzzy Logic toolbox of MATLAB was shown in analysing the problem based learning. Several Deep Learning algorithms such as bound box detection algorithm and object recognition algorithm were practiced during the hands-on sessions.
Day 4: 6th February 2021
“Modelling and Control of Electrical Circuits in Simscape” and “Multibody Simulation for Robotics” sessions were held on fourth day of the workshop. During the sessions the resource person had discussed circuit analysis using MATLAB with examples on resistive circuit, maximum power transfer theorem, and nodal analysis. Basic ODEs Simulink Control was also discussed in detail for its use.
Day 5: 7th February 2021
On the last day of the workshop, Dr. Gyan Singh Yadav and Dr. Ankush Vashistha have discussed Cryptography in MATLAB and provide hands-on practice with Sensors and MATLAB.
In the concluding session before valedictory a brief interaction on 5G and beyond Wireless Communication through open discussion was arranged and hosted by Dr. Anand Agarwal with the participants.
The participants explored more about this programming tool which enables to express matrix and array mathematically for recent technological developments in several application areas.
