2001-Current. Software Engineer, Southwestern Cotton Ginning Research Laboratory (Las Cruces, NM)
Programmed a Windows 2000 interface and image processing framework using Visual Studio 6 with MFC/C++, which functions as the front end for a machine vision system that analyzes a video stream of cotton during the process of ginning. Data is gathered from the captured images and supplied to a trained backward propagating neural network, which makes a conclusion based on amount of trash in the cotton to determine the next stage to carry out in the ginning process. The image processing library used is Mil 7.0 by Matrox Imaging. (See http://clemens.bytehammer.com/papers/CottonEye/ for project specifications.)
