Dhanbad, August 11: Sajal Kumar Pramanik, Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad, presented his research on glaucoma detection at an international conference in Stuttgart, Germany, highlighting the growing application of artificial intelligence and computer vision in medical diagnosis.
Pramanik presented his research paper, “Evaluating Multimodal Fusion on Saturated Glaucoma Benchmarks,” at the 4th International Conference on Computer Graphics and Image Processing (CGIP 2026), organised at Stuttgart Media University (Hochschule der Medien).
Research explores multimodal AI for glaucoma detection
The study evaluates multimodal fusion techniques using glaucoma-related benchmarks, focusing on their effectiveness in medical image analysis and disease detection.
The research is part of the broader effort to explore how artificial intelligence, computer vision and advanced image-processing techniques can contribute to medical diagnosis. By examining multimodal approaches, the study seeks to assess how information from different sources can be effectively combined to improve the analysis of glaucoma-related data.
The presentation also provided Pramanik an opportunity to discuss his findings with researchers and academics working in computer vision, image processing and related areas.

‘Significant milestone in my research journey’
Sharing his experience, Pramanik described the presentation as an important milestone in his academic career.
“Presenting my research at an international conference outside India was a significant milestone in my research journey. The opportunity to interact with researchers from different backgrounds and learn about recent developments in computer vision and image processing was highly enriching, both academically and personally,” he said.
Pramanik also acknowledged the guidance and support of his research supervisor, Dr Soumen Bag, throughout the research work.
Global exposure for IIT (ISM) research
Participation in the international conference gave the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad research scholar an opportunity to engage with researchers from diverse academic backgrounds and gain exposure to emerging developments in computer graphics, image processing and computer vision.
The conference served as a platform for researchers to present recent findings, exchange ideas and discuss emerging applications of image-processing technologies.
The participation also underscores IIT (ISM) Dhanbad’s emphasis on research, innovation and international academic engagement, particularly in emerging areas where computing and artificial intelligence intersect with science, technology and healthcare.
