-<<< RESEARCH IMPACT >>>-

Prof. C. Krishna Mohan's research is centered on advanced Representation Learning techniques, with a strong emphasis on Image and Video Content Analysis, Intelligent Transportation Systems, and Edge-deployable Artificial Intelligence. His work seamlessly integrates core machine learning methodologies with real-world problem-solving, enabling the development of scalable, data-efficient solutions for complex spatio-temporal data analysis. A central theme of his research is the design of robust representation learning techniques tailored for video understanding and image-based scene interpretation. In the domain of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), Prof. Mohan has led the development of cutting-edge AI solutions for traffic monitoring, vehicle re-identification, pedestrian behavior analysis, and anomaly detection. These systems are engineered to operate under real-time constraints, enabling efficient and low-latency deployment through Edge AI in scenarios such as autonomous navigation and on-device video analytics. In parallel, his ITS research also plays a pivotal role in enabling smart city infrastructure by providing scalable AI-driven tools for urban traffic optimization, public safety monitoring, and incident detection. By harnessing data from live surveillance feeds and embedded sensors, his work facilitates critical applications in geospatial intelligence, environmental monitoring, and urban planning. Prof. Mohan's ability to translate deep representation learning into practical, deployable, and impactful AI systems positions him at the forefront of applied artificial intelligence. His contributions continue to shape the evolution of edge-intelligent systems and domain-aware learning across both academia and industries.

I. Representation Learning for Urban Mobility and Implementation

Research in representation learning has played a pivotal role in advancing urban mobility solutions, especially in the context of complex and unstructured traffic environments prevalent in Indian cities. These efforts have led to the development of AI-driven models capable of accurately detecting critical traffic violations, such as helmetless riding, abrupt lane changes, and potential collision trajectories, while also predicting risky behaviors in dynamic traffic conditions. These systems enable real-time decision-making in resource-constrained and cost-sensitive urban settings. As part of the Indo-Japanese M2Smart [Link] (Multimodal Mobility Smart City) Project, intelligent mobility solutions have been conceptualized and deployed through a collaborative framework involving academic and industrial stakeholders. The project covers the full AI pipeline from multimodal data acquisition via traffic cameras and environmental sensors to scalable system-level implementations for intersection monitoring, smart parking, and dynamic traffic management. Field deployments, including testbeds on the IIT Hyderabad campus and a 30 km segment of National Highway NH-65, serve as real-world validation environments for building sustainable and data-driven smart city infrastructure. Additionally, the advancements in representation learning for intelligent transportation have been deployed in real-world settings, notably in Ahmedabad and Hyderabad cities in India, where AI-powered traffic monitoring systems, including helmet detection, chain snatching detection and accident prediction modules, are operational. This work on detecting street-level crimes such as snatch theft using real-world surveillance footage marks a significant advancement in urban safety analytics and has garnered widespread attention in the media.

• Societal Impact

The project has contributed to safer and more efficient urban transportation by enabling real-time detection of traffic violations, accident prediction, and intelligent monitoring. These AI-driven systems support improved traffic management and enforcement, helping authorities respond more effectively to road incidents. With deployments in cities like Ahmedabad and Hyderabad, the solutions are actively enhancing public safety and urban mobility.

A key focus of this research has been translating advances in representation learning into real-world, on-device AI solutions for mobile platforms. In collaboration with OPPO R&D India, two commercially deployed systems were developed, showcasing the potential of Edge-AI [Link] in enhancing user experience through efficient and intelligent mobile applications. The first solution is a real-time AI-based video bokeh system that delivers high-quality background defocus effects in mobile video streams. It leverages optimized deep learning models for human segmentation and blur rendering, specifically tailored for the computational constraints of mobile hardware. The second solution addresses image management by enabling intelligent retrieval and filtering of similar, duplicate, and low-quality images. Using deep embeddings and mobile-optimized models, the system allows for real-time image clustering and quality assessment, improving photo organization and storage efficiency. Both solutions exemplify how cutting-edge AI research can be successfully deployed on edge devices, bridging academic innovation with industry-grade mobile AI applications.
