    Drought Detection in India using Spatio-Temporal Graph Neural Networks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Sudhakara, B.; Maheshwari, A.; Palakuru, S.; Bhattacharjee, S.
    Droughts, which are defined by extended periods of water scarcity, offer significant difficulties to agriculture, ecosystems, and human populations. Drought detection that requires timely and precise assessment is critical for effective mitigation and resource planning. This work proposes a novel technique for drought detection using satellite imagery with the capabilities of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). The proposed GNN-based model captures spatio-temporal dependencies by representing 671 districts across India as nodes, connected based on geographical proximity. The spatio-temporal model achieved its best performance with an RMSE of 6.849, MAE of 4.367, and R2 of 0.903 for the Normalized Vegetation Supply Water Index (NVSWI). This work is one of the initial attempts to predict the drought over the Indian region using graph neural networks. © 2025 IEEE.

    Image Manipulation Detection Using Augmentation and Convolutional Neural Networks
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Maheshwari, A.; Jain, R.; Mahapatra, R.; Palakuru, S.; Anand Kumar, M.A.
    Image tampering is now simpler than ever, thanks to the explosion of digital photos and the creation of easy image modification tools. As a result, if the situation is not handled properly, the major problems may arise. Many computer vision and deep learning strategies have been put out over the years to address the problem. Having said that, people can easily recognize the photographs that were used in that research. This begs the key question of how CNNs might do on more difficult samples. In this chapter, we build a complex CNN network and use various machine learning algorithms to classify the images and compare the accuracies obtained by them. Its performance is also compared on two different datasets. Additionally, we assess the impact of various hyperparameters and a data augmentation strategy on classification performance. This leads to a conclusion that performance can be considerably impacted by dataset difficulty. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
