This was an email I sent yesterday as a update to my B.tech final year project guide at SRMIST. This sums up my trip to Delhi from 13-16 December, 2018 for a IEEE conference. I landed at Delhi airport on 13th afternoon (my first flight and first visit to Delhi) and proceeded to Akshardham via metro to meet my project-mate Kritin (now studying M.tech at IIITM Gwalior). Arvind too was a project member and is currently pursuing his masters at Cornell University.
I'll post the link to my paper here later.

Sir
Please excuse me for the late email update. Our time in Noida and Delhi did not permit us to give you a follow up on IACC 2018. Both of us have reached our homes now and I will send your participation certificate by post soon.
When asked, one of the organisers of the conference said that our paper would get published on IEEE Xplore library in a 1-2 weeks period from now. They shall email a link to all the authors to notify the same.

Kritin and I reached Delhi on the afternoon of 13th. Our trip was done as shown below:
13th evening - Visited Akshardham.
13th night - Reached Bennett University in Greater Noida region (~50km from Noida) by bus and cab.
14th morning - Inaugural session and keynote speeches by eminent faculty of colleges in the US and Australia. They largely talked about computational methods and machine learning/neural networks which was quite interesting to listen. Lunch followed.
14th afternoon - Paper presentation started. There were three locations with each having one set of panel members and 4 papers each to review. Here we got to see how the presentation was made and prepared ourselves for the next day accordingly.
14th evening - We returned to our room accomodation in their newly constructed hostel block and after an hour rest, started preparing for our upcoming presentation. We imagined all scenarios where we get questioned and noted all numerical data on a paper to produce in case they ask.
15th morning - Our presentation was scheduled in 9:00 - 9:12 slot, i.e. 10 mins of presentation followed by 2 mins of Q&A from panel. Kritin explained the first half and I did the next half. The presentation went a little more than 12 mins since there was much detail in 'experimental design' slide. The panel gave us a patient hearing and one member there asked us that usually a minimum three cameras would be needed to track a tennis/cricket ball in stadium (Hawkeye technology) and how our project did it with just two. We answered that our stereo vision model eliminates the need for a third camera by establishing linear relation b/w the two cameras used and we mathematically proved the same (finding 3D coordinates in absolute units). The person was satisfied with our answer and then the audience of 15-20 people clapped. Later when all the sessions got over, we collected our certificates. Arvind's parents were kind enough to provide accommodation for the night at their home in Noida region.
15th evening - We packed our luggage and proceeded to Arvind's home by auto and cab. Reached there by 5pm and refreshed ourselves. Later, Arvind's father drove us through and around key places in Delhi (India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhavan, Parliament House, Supreme court, RBI, AIR, Purana Qila, Old Delhi region). Along the way, we all had local cuisine dinner at a popular stall in the city.
16th morning - Had breakfast at Arvind's home and left from there for visiting Red fort and Chandni Chowk region. Covered both the places by 3 pm. Then we rushed to our respective Railway stations and boarded our trains.
All along, the role of Delhi metro was indispensable. We purchased a smart card each for faster travel in the city.
Concluding, we had a productive and informative time in Delhi (we managed the cold) although our trip was of short duration.
We thank you for your guidance and support throughout this process. The work which we did is truly publication-worthy.
Pictures of our trip are attached.
Thanking You

Our trip ended with us munching Paranthas at the famous Paranthe wali Gali in Chandni Chowk, opposite to Redfort. I reached home after a 21.5 hr journey to Hyderabad by Rajdhani Express.
