Software Applications
Sample of software applications.

The image on the left is of my final year dissertation project. The idea behind the project
was
to
compare a physical component against a 3d geometrical model, highlighting anomalies between
the two. I was keen to try experimenting in the area of Computer Vision and attempt to
develop
something that could prove very useful to the company i work for. The application was
written
in
C++,
using Direct X 11 for rendering both 3d geometry & projection of the webcam image. The
OpenCV
library was utilised for the computer vision algorithms.
Key to the success of the project, many Computer Vision techniques were tested, these include:
- Edge detection - Canny, Sobel.
- Optical flow tracking, please check : my video on YouTube
- Machine Learning.
- Solve PNP.
- Camera Calibration.

Augmentation Inspection Application
Each type of detection was tested for its suitability in the application. The chart shown on
the
left is the result of an experiment to monitor the
movement of the points detected by the KLT Tracking algorithm. Factors including different
lightening conditions, camera distance had adverse effects on some of the
detection algorithms.

Image Converter
This is a small application written in C# to make converting Images (.png, .jpg, etc) into
Base64.
The idea came from speeding up Website development.

Emulator
Why did i write this ? For fun is the only answer i can give ! Written in C# the app is
emulating
an Intel 8080 processor & can be seen running an original Space Invaders rom..

Map Maker
This C# application was developed for creating the levels for the game Nodes of Yesod. The
game
can
be found and played on the Games page.

Interactive 3d Graphics Programming
This C++ application was developed as an assignment during my University Degree studies. The
graphics API is DirectX 9 using the fixed function pipeline.
The screen shot does not do justice to the application, the app features Textured Terrain, Fog, 1st & 3rd person cameras, bounding box collision detection and many more features.
The source code is available on the Github

Language Design and Implementation (WigWam)
The upper screenshot shows a C# windows form application containing some Python code...
Under the covers, there is a Java Interpreter being fed my language called WigWam, that is
running some Python whilst being controlled through a C# application !!
This Java application was developed as an assignment during my University Degree studies.
The grammar for WigWam was created using Antlr.
The lower screen shot shows the output from a Java compiler that I wrote as part of the same assignment. The compiler generated code that is executed using LLVM, the code shown in the screen shot calculates the Fibonacci sequence.
