Dr. Uma Maheswari V (Senior Member, IEEE) received the Ph.D. degree in image analytics and data science from Visveswaraya Technological University, Belgaum. She is currently working as an Associate Professor with the Department of CSE, Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology, Hyderabad. She has published more than 50 research papers in SCI, ESCI, WoS, DBLP, and SCOPUS indexed journals and conferences. She has also published four Indian patents on facial expression analysis in the fields of medical, e-commerce, education, and security. She has done an enormous study and given contributions in facial expression analysis and applications. She constructed feature vector for a given image based on the directions and introduced dynamic threshold values while comparing the images, which helps to analyse any image. She has researched the similarity of images in a given database to retrieve the relevant images. She also worked with convolutional neural networks by giving the pre-processed input image to improve the accuracy. It has been proved that the maximum edge intensity values are enough to retrieve the required feature from the image instead of working on total image data. She has organized various technical programs and served as a technical committee member and a reviewer for various conferences. She has delivered sessions in various capacities. She received the Best Faculty Award under the innovation category from the CSI Mumbai Chapter for the year 2019.
