Fast Image Stitching

Image stitching of overlapping digital images is known to be used to create panoramic images in smart phones.
In this industrial project an image stitching algorithm for gray value image series of a video has been developed in collaboration with a customer. The motion of the video camera can be measured from the stitched image series with an accuracy of a few micrometers.
The algorithm especially features limited translation ranges between subsequent images. This makes the image stitching process fast and robust even at significant variations of image contrast.

Risk Analysis of Laser Radiation

Direct or scattered incidence of laser radiation on the human eye results in health risk for exposed persons. Depending on the specific situation the exposure can lead to injuries and blindness.
In this project a simple computer model for radiation expansion has been developed. Then computer simulations specified by the customer have been run. The simulation runs showed at an early stage which shield geometries protects best.

Engineering Trainings on Big Data Analytics

I train students in Big Data Analytics at the Höhere Fachschule für Technik und Maschinenbau HFTM in Grenchen (Switzerland). The training module focusses on practical applications of data analysis in the professional context of the students.
