|
A model of CCD (digital camera) noise. Trifid generates images whose noise realistically reflects the types of noise that generally occur in digital (and film) cameras. Various imaging scenarios (lighting conditions) can easily be configured so as to generate a suite of images with varying noise.

Movie Hurl is a perl-cgi enabled interactive website that permits users to determine — either by generic sampling and by more rigorous statistical correlation with other users — which movies are likely to make them motion sick. Users can then decide whether they want to waste their money on the movie. Please consider joining this site and service.

2003 - 2006 (PhD research and dissertation topic)
|

Druid is the program I developed for my PhD research. It is a vector drawing program that permits the construction of 2 1/2 D scenes of interwoven surfaces. This is very difficult to do in conventional drawing programs.

This is one of my most arduous programming projects. The goal was to create a visceral realtime 3D simulation of a dense rainforest, including overgrown Mayan ruins, with the secondary goal of designing a captivating, puzzle-oriented game in such an environment.
I have also provided the complete project diary I kept during my work on this project, should you have the curiousity to peruse its musings.

|
|
An audio analysis program which provides real time spectrograms and time-section and frequency-section analysis.
|
|
originated 2004, latest version 2007
|
|
A webcam capture program especially tailored to astrophotography including features such as histograms, channel separation, debayering (for RAW modded cameras), focusing aids, collimation circles, and cardinal axes for a variety of alignment procedures such as drift alignment, periodic error correction, and guiding.
|
|
originated 2002, latest version 2010
|
|
An image processing program oriented primarily at astrophotography where the signal to noise ratio can be increased by averaging or summing a large number of similar images, say from a quicktime movie captured from a webcam.
|
|
originated 2000, latest version 2004
|
|
A sophisticated instrument tuner with a detailed visual display of the frequency you are playing and the frequency you are aiming for. There is also a full 88-key piano keyboard, which can be tuned to your desired frequency (not just 440 A).

2001
|
|
A distributed networking system for generating mandelbrot images in parallel that works by clienting out sections of the desired image and then building the whole image on the fly as each client sends its associated bitmap back to the server.
|
|

|
A java applet of planetoid gravitational forces. It's fun to try to set up initial conditions that result in orbitting bodies. Try it.
