Visualisation of massively large point clouds

In the context of my Master thesis, after having studied the physical model behind Thales' radio propagation software (KESS), I surveyed and developed accurate, efficient and parallel algorithms to extend usability from rural to urban environments. I focused on theoretical justification, applicability and limits of techniques from physically based computer graphics, and designed a software framework using OpenCL incorporating the results.

I Designed and implemented algorithms for detection and accurate localization of road markings in LIDAR data.

I continued working on the research works ”Robbie 19”. We enabled autonomous navigation of a mobile robot in complex outdoor environments. I implemented e.g. framework integration of a Velodyne LIDAR, scene graph representation of the robot and remote mission control.

Within the context of the project AVILUS, funded by the BmBF, I supported PhD students by i.a. designing, implementing and/or integrating software features like Ray Tracing, Image based Lighting and photorealistic computer graphics.
