Master Thesis: Wavelet based Bacteria-Analyzer

The purpose of the master thesis was to write a program that could identify Bacteria-Spores with a medical X-Ray scanner. This software was constructed so that also different other kinds of signal forms could be analyzed. For this purpose, Spline-Wavelets were used for the analysis.


The developed program is able to provide Spline-Wavelets graphically. Linear and two-dimensional data sets can be evaluated.

X-Ray Data Scanner

This program is used for recording and filtering of X-ray diffraction images.


Thrombosis Data Plotter

This Program was written in C++ with OpenGL and can read, compare and plot big data sets of a thrombosis data scanner very quick. In comparison with the old program, was this program approximately 30 times faster.

This was reachable through a new kind of data-set memory structure and pointer arithmetic.
GTK GUI Builder for Ruby

This is a IDE for Ruby with a Smalltalk-Workbench based
test environment (integrated IRB) and a rudimentary
GUI Builder.
Raytracer

This is a Raytracing Comparison that I have enhanced the Simple Raytracer Source Code with OpenMP improvements. It is possible to see, that the OpenMP Version is approximately 4x faster on a Quad-Core CPU. The Raytracing Algorithm was easy to integrate in a parallel structure.
