Virtual Digital Camera : The goal of this diploma project is to implement a virtual digital camera, providing a software tool which can help designing new devices by simulating them. Virtual 3-D scenes are rendered with Givv, a raytracing software, and then passed to a Matlab module, vCam, which emulates the image processing chain of a digital camera. Both programs were extended to be able to process 3-D hyperspectral scenes and to take the depth of a scene into account to render the blurriness of out of focus objects.

Face recognition : a Matlab implementation of a face recognition system unsing eigenimages. The face is projected in the eigenimages space. A face can be characterized with only 20 vectors !

Orthogonal drawer : a plug-in for Orthogonal viewer, a 3D medical tool. It allows the user to draw contours on different slices in order to create a 3D mesh of the desired structure. The plug-in has been totally integrated in the existing program.

Gamut mapping : a study on the different algorithms used nowadays for gamut mapping, which is the process of mapping colors that are outside the targeted colorspace back into it.

Color segmentation : a study and matlab implementation of the different algorithms used to perform image segmentation, and the added value of color in that problem. Three algorithms are tested here : histogram thresholding, region-based segmentation and edge-based segmentation.

Digital image analyzer : a complete application that checks for the presence of artefacts in photographic images and determine their severity.
The application has to support different image formats: BMP, PPM, TIFF, JPEG, and JPEG2000.

VHDL : an hardware implementation of the Conway's game of life on a Xilinx FPGA. It has its own VGA controller and a powerful architecture to compute the state of the game's cells.

HACCP : slides of a presentation I made about the interesting ideas that can be found in the HACCP quality norm. This norm is for food production but some very interesting concepts can be used anywhere else, particularly risk management
