  Working on the software pipeline necessary to make Light Field Displays a beautiful reality. Over the past three years I've really enjoyed the variety of hats that come with being part of a cutting edge startup. Highlights include algorithmic work - inventing a calibration method for tiled multi-panel Light Field Displays, developing a holographic rendering algorithm for an orders of magnitude improvement in our update rate, and working out a signal processing based approach to add rigor to our system level display design. On the software engineering side, I've had the pleasure of building the pieces to make all of the above work. This includes creating a set of machine vision software tools for calibration, contributing to FoVI3D's display agnostic graphics API, and working with our talented true Electrical Engineers to create the display driver controlling host to FPGA interactions. The topping on the cake is all the opportunities to geek out about light-fields: writing and presenting for technical conferences, overenthusiastically explaining how the system works at trade shows, and pitching the steps needed to reach a grand future in project proposals.

VuCOMP

• Plano, TX

• Algorithm Developer

  • Aug 2011 - Apr 2014

  Developed medical image processing algorithms for Computer Aided Detection of cancer in mammographic and chest x-rays. Contributions include development of image segmentation algorithm, feature extraction and evaluation, and statistical analysis in support of FDA approval cycle. Implemented C/C++ production software by converting MATLAB algorithms developed by myself and others. Significantly increased CAD system throughput through a combination of code and algorithm optimizations. Vyü-kämp, not vü-kämp. A modern name, complete with ultramodern mixed capitalization.

• Senior Research Scientist

  • Jul 2006 - Jul 2011

  Conducted computer vision research related to Unmanned Autonomous Systems. Research was funded by the Department of Defense across multiple contracts on which I was Principal Investigator or a key technical contributor. Research topics included vehicle detection in Ultra Large Format aerial imagery, video compression for UAS control over an unreliable channel, intelligent video foveation to optimize sensor bandwidth allocation, and multiple hypothesis tracking. Developed and implemented software applications to demonstrate proof-of-concept for the above research. This encompassed a wide variety of platforms and languages including an XML configurable video processing pipeline implemented in Java, an integral image based image filter in CUDA, and a robust video codec with integrated error correcting codes in strictly compliant C89. Authored technical reports documenting project progress for clients, and wrote many technical proposals soliciting additional research funding. Lead author of four winning Phase 1 and Phase 2 SBIR grant proposals. Company name became much more unremarkable at the turn of the millennia. Show less

  • 2003 - 2006

  Performed image processing related research for video and sonar systems. Adapted approaches from academic literature to real world problems. Applications included wake detection and 3D reconstruction via computational stereo. Great institution with a fine name, contrary to the occasional good natured ribbing from alums of the farm school by Bryan. Performed image processing related research for video and sonar systems.
