  Development and analysis of line detection and road detection algorithms for the Brilliant Anti-Tank Program. Co-Programmer and data analyst in the data reduction process for the Electronic Warfare Advanced Technology Program. The data reduction process consisted of taking the raw data, which is converted into background-subtracted objects, with the final result being radiometric values of the objects. Developed a CD-ROM based Data Viewer Utility, which contains a VCR-like interface to control playback of the archived mission data. Developed a Graphical User Interface for the Infrared Sensor Stimulator Project that allows a user to run the Infrared Electro-optical Naval Engagement Model simulation, which calculates the effects of Naval vessel compartment temperatures, paint, materials, weather, emissivity, reflections and sensor responsivity.

• Software Engineer

  • Nov 1996 - Sep 1999

  Lead programmer on the optimization of the Infrared Imaging System Data Reduction software to allow multiple sensor programs reuse the same data reduction algorithms with minimum impact to the users and programmers involved. This will allowed multiple types of data formats to be reduced, which enhanced the capabilities of the data reduction facility. Developed a Data Viewer Utility for the Sensor Hand-Over Risk Reduction Program (SHaRRP) that contains a VCR-like interface to control both the image processing and SPATS portions of the archived mission data. This viewer allowed faster delivery of the data products collected and the designation data generated by SHaRRP on CD-ROM format. Implemented and integrated code for automatic gain control (AGC) of an infrared (IR) sensor as part of a real-time system providing risk reduction support of the THAAD program. Analyzed, coded and tested algorithms for the target discrimination, designation, and aim-point portions of the system. Performed software upgrades for the downloading of multiple sets of non-uniformity correction (NUC) tables to memory, allowing for faster operational mode change rates, which improves system performance and eases operator interface. Lead programmer on integration of these algorithms into an autonomous airborne IR system. Also, implemented and maintained software in C to run in the pSOS+m multitasking real-time operating system (RTOS) environment. Target platforms consisted of single board computers integrated into a VME backplane utilizing both custom and commercial off the shelf hardware. Show less
