Projects
Stuff I build outside of class, mostly to find out whether an idea actually works. Two are up here so far, both measured and written up with the numbers they came out with.
S.P.L.O.O.G.E
Two drone flights over two spots, six days apart, rebuilt into one photorealistic 3D reconstruction you can then fly back through in a browser, next to the footage it came from. COLMAP for the camera solve, a Rust and WebGPU trainer for the Gaussians, WebGL for playback. The write-up is laid out like a paper. The ground going see-through turned out to be one line in the renderer, after I'd spent a week measuring it as a training problem.

P.E.T.E.R
One command goes and finds a TV clip, works out which episode it's from, traces it to line art, rebuilds it as parametric expressions inside a Desmos graphing calculator, screenshots it frame by frame and posts the finished video. About 4,100 lines of Python, no framework. In the write-up you can push the tracer and the expression trick around yourself.

More are in progress. I'll put them up here once they're done.
