Summer project

Posted on September 18, 2007

This summer I actually was not planning to work… I was actually planning to have a nice long summer break, but the work found me. :-) I accepted the offer because this was an not another website or an office application, but smething different.

The project was for a company called Uniboard and I had to create a program that used some very interesting technologies to solve business problems. For example project required image recognition for consistent sub-millimeter positioning.

This project was a good oppotunity for me to try to learn some new technologies and put some of the University knowledge to use. The PC site of the project was mine, I  had an oppoty to design and implement the software the way I wanted. I think I did a good job. Although I found that the Microsoft default way of creating UI is not the most optimal one — I had a lot of controls on the form, my code-behind file was very long. It is also easy to create an UI application in a test-driven way without using completely different set of techniques.

So last week I was working on site for three days. It was a final integration iteration. As expected we found some final small integration changes. Change the signs of correction vectors, find the correct combination of lenses and cameras, decide which version 4 of the document was latest ;-).

Recording of one of integration cycles. Trace mode.

I really liked the project, for me it’s amazing how all the different technolgies, libraries, components, harware worked together. Things move, camaras record, application performs linear transformations. Amazing!
