Projects
Image Processing via Machine Learning and Interpolation
Skills Used:
MATLAB
Developed two demosaicing scripts to generate an RGB image from a grayscale image on MATLAB, using machine learning and interpolation
Used an RGGB colour filter array to generate a Bayer filter from the grayscale image.
For the ML approach, I scripted a model that would analyze RGB images and change weighted coefficients for the R, G, and B pixel value based on the values of the surrounding pixel environment. I trained my model with ~20 images to eliminate artifacts.
For the interpolation approach, I scripted a model that would bilinearly interpolate missing pixel values from linearly adjacent pixels for each R, G and B pixel array to formulate the full RGB image.
Laser Cutting Customized Prints
Skills Used:
Inkscape
Designed and created numerous laser cut prints on birch wood, to create customized prints for myself and functional pieces for construction for use in the McMaster Seismic Design team’s seismic tower competition.
Analog Discovery 2 Circuit Testing, Debugging and Analysis
Skills Used:
Analog Discovery 2, WaveForms, Hardware: Measuring, Testing, Debugging
Used Diligent’s Analog Discovery 2 and WaveForms software to construct, test and debug breadboard circuits to measure, visualize, and record mixed signal circuits for electrical systems.
Circuit testing and debugging called for recurring use of the complete Analog Discovery 2 functionality, with emphasis on the oscilloscope, multimeter, logic analyzer, curve tracer, spectrum analyzer and function generator capabilities.
Focused on complex RLC circuits, especially small signal AC analysis of diodes, BJT’s and MOSFET’s while meeting voltage/current design constraints.
Verilog Logic Design
Skills Used:
Verilog, VHDL, Quartus II, Hardware: Measuring, Testing, Debugging
Wrote a script which creates a 1-minute timer from two 7-segment displays and resets on a switch toggle using frequency / clock dependent logic systems.
Programmed an EPROM to count up and down between 0 to 99 in binary, using LEDs and 7 segment displays as outputs. Used Verilog, schematic block diagrams and VHDL on Quartus II to program the logic system.
Used oscilloscopes to measure the period, frequency and amplitude of output signals from the EPROM logic systems.
Embedded Intelligence Spatial Mapping System
Skills Used:
C, Arm, Hardware: Measuring, Testing, Debugging
Constructed an embedded spatial measurement system using a time-of-flight sensor and a 360-degree stepper motor.
The system was programmed in C and Arm and was controlled by a Cortex-M4F microcontroller. The time-of-flight sensor was mounted to the stepper motor and would rotate 180 degrees at every displacement interval and collect sensor readings.
The time of flight sensor collected data from 2 axes and manual movement of the system allowed for data to be collected from the third axis. This allowed for the readings to be visualized and a mesh to be constructed between the data points to generate a 3D mapping of the room/corridor.
AutoDesk 3DS Max CNC Machinery Rendering
Skills Used:
AutoDesk: 3DS Max
Texturized and rendered models of CNC machinery in 3DS Max, using the built-in rendering environment and ray-tracing features, to create fully rendered models for client proposals and live website showcasing.
