The Medical Intelligence and Language Engineering Laboratory, also known as MILE lab, is a

Text-To-Speech and Optical character recognition[1] systems, all of which are focused mainly on documents and speech in Indian languages.[2] The lab is headed by A. G. Ramakrishnan.[3]

Research focus

One of the commitments of MILE lab is the development of technology for people with visual impairment to harness knowledge from any available printed material in Indian languages.[4] The lab is working towards reaching this goal. Its work till now included: document mosaicing of coloured, camera captured images ; text extraction from complex colour images, including camera captured images; document layout analysis; detection of broken and merged characters; OCR technology for Tamil and Kannada;[5] text to speech conversion in Tamil and Kannada;[6] pitch modification using discrete cosine transform in the source domain;[7] automated part of speech tagging; phrase prediction and prosody modeling.

In the early days, significant work was carried out in medical signal and image processing. A unique algorithm was proposed for

MRI slice was represented by uniform or adaptive mesh; affine transformation was applied between the corresponding mesh elements of adjacent slices and context-based entropy coding, on the residues.[21]
