Research Interests

My research interests lie broadly in computer vision and artificial intelligence. My current focus is to explore and conduct fundamental computer vision research with limited supervision, with a goal to conduct research and design products benefiting humanity. I am excited to be part of this fast-evolving and fascinating field, and I hope to contribute to its growth.

During my undergrad, I worked as an independent researcher at IUBAT CSE Robot-Vision Lab and also as an undergraduate Research Assistant (RA) for multiple projects at the Miyan Research Institute with Prof. Rashedul Islam, Prof. Md. Alomgir Hossain and Prof. Aminun Nahar (from 2017 to 2020).

After my graduation, I was fortunate to get an opportunity to work as a Research Assistant under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Md. Ezharul Islam at Jahangirnagar University for a novel research project of Deep Learning based Computer Vision and Robotics in 2021 which led us winning the Best Paper Award in the International Conference of MIDAS 2021, Springer.

Later on, between 2021 to 2024, I worked as a Researcher and Deep Learning Algorithm Developer in Cisscom (United States), KaleidoSoft (Croatia) and Vinacts (South Korea).

From November 2023 to March 2025, I have worked as a Remote Research Assistant (RA) with Dr. Humayun Kabir from the Department of Integrated System Engineering at Inha University, South Korea. My research field was related with developing state of the art efficient algorithms for Robot Vision capabilities and medical image processing; occlusion aware object tracking and frame interpolation mechanism.

From August 2025, during my days in the academia, I have been remotely working on a complex 4D CTP data enabled Medical Image Synthesis project under the supervision of Dr. Mohammad Arafat Hussain, who is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Harvard Medical School. Here, I Delved deep into a large complex 4D CTP Dataset for an efficient medical image synthesis project. Successfully integrated some cutting-edge variants of Transformer mechanism to track CT Perfusion with the 4D CTP data at a globally unique rate of efficiency which we are aspiring to publish in some top venues.

Publications

SBHK-Net
Sheekar Banerjee, Humayun Kabir
Preprint, 2024

In this research, we initiated a unique and cutting-edge backbone neural network for the conventional YOLO algorithm which we named as SBHK-Net. The network boosted up the performance of the existing YOLO algorithm drastically which manifests a strong potential of improving tracking and recognition accuracies of other conventional algorithms in the robot vision industry as well. It has the greatest accuracy 59.2% AP among all known real-time object detectors with 30 FPS or above on GPU RTX3060, and it outperforms all other known object detectors in the range of 5 FPS to 160 FPS.

Breast Cancer Detection
Sheekar Banerjee, Humayun Kabir
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2024

We focused upon the deep learning approach to classify the normal and abnormal breast according to the medical imaging from the MIAS dataset of Mammograms and Pixel Intensity. The Convolution Neural Network (CNN) alongside ResNet, AmoebaNet and EfficientNet have been used for the detection with 330 mammograms in which 194 images are normal and 136 are having the identification of abnormal breasts.

CEIMVEN
Sheekar Banerjee, Md. Kamrul Hasan Monir
Studies in Computational Intelligence, Springer-Nature, Switzerland, 2024

In this research, we focused mostly on our rigorous novel implementations and iterative result analysis of different cutting-edge modified versions of EfficientNet architectures namely EfficientNet-V1 (b0-b7) and EfficientNet-V2 (b0-b3) with ultrasound image, named as CEIMVEN. We utilized transfer learning approach here for using the pre-trained models of EfficientNet versions.

Nano Rover
Sheekar Banerjee, Aminun Nahar Jhumur, Md. Ezharul Islam
Lecture Notes on Data Engineering and Communications Technologies, Springer-Nature, Singapore, 2022 Best Paper Award

Nano Rover is a significant approach of cost-efficient surveillance and reconnaissance robot which is fully functional and cost-efficient at the same time. It features the service of active reconnaissance mode with LIDAR sensor, location tracking with GPS Neo 6M module, visual information collection, person detection, weapons detection and identification, gender and age prediction of the hostile and other artificial threat detection, etc.

Marine Ecosystem Monitoring
Sheekar Banerjee, Aminun Nahar Jhumur
Trends in Sciences (TiS), 2022

This robotics research project proposes a solution which appears to be a full-fledged Bluetooth controlled Submarine prototype with a sensory chipboard attached inside its endo-skeleton which contains multiple sensors like DHT11 temperature-humidity, dust, CO2 and YL69 pH sensors. The sensory data provides the information of underwater whether the naval environment is habitable for the marine biological species or not, under the terrible effect of global climate change.

Chatbot Optimization
Sheekar Banerjee, Md. Sakibul Islam
Undergrad Thesis on Natural Language Processing and Human Computer Interaction, 2020

In this research, we tried to represent an optimized implementation of different chatbot algorithmic approaches within a single University Automation query platform where the previous chatbots were developed concerning the utility areas of agriculture, economics, medical science with disease prediction, admission system and tourism.

Smart Injector
Sheekar Banerjee, Md. Alomgir Hossain
Voluntary Research Work at IUBAT CSE Robotics Club, 2019

In the rural world of medical services, we generally notice a lot of havoc which generally happens in the hospitals, clinics and related other medical centers. The conditions of Intensive Care Units (ICU) of the rural areas are quite intolerable because of the lack of qualified nurses. This study aims to minimize the hazard at the highest accuracy level possible.
