| + | == Who I am == | ||
| + | My name is Camille Brugel. I am currently studying computer science and maths in an engineering school ( first year ENSIMAG in Grenoble, France). All my family worked on computer's related domain. I remember me, at six, playing sokoban/pacman/prince_of_persia on my amstrad. I gess the rest is only a | ||
| + | consequence. | ||
| + | contact : camille.brugel@laposte.net | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Programming Experience == | ||
| + | |||
| + | I have experience with ADA (which is not interesting here) and C (more useful). Some scripting language too : bash, python. I have some notions of C++ ( I only wrote a .obj parser and I have played with SFML library) and Visual Basic. I use some "math oriented" language too such as R or maple. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Why BRL-CAD == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Actually, I enjoy doing mathematics as much as (at least) programming. Therefore I have a large interest in computer graphics. I recently implement a strange (based on my ideas) boundary volumes hierarchy for a ray tracer (the boxes where elementary volumes in spherical coordinates), if you want to discuss on this topic don't hesitate to contact me. I like trying to optimise and parallelize my code. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Which Project ?== | ||
| + | |||
| + | I have few (non-academic) knowledge on NURBS surfaces and Bézier (french guy :)) curves but I am interested on "vectorize" the output of raytracing. I am a bit disappointed by the performance of the "Inkscape's vectorizer" but I am aware that it is a very complex ( => interesting) issue. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Normally ray tracer output is smooth enough and doesn't need to be passed through a Gaussian filter. So, at first, I think, I will use the "last part" of the Canny Edge detector. It will be the simple part (small hope). Then fitting curves to points and convert to SVG format. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==What I've done so far== | ||
| + | |||
| + | I just download the source code. Compile it and played with mged primitives and the ray tracer. I also realise that immerse themselves in a very^+ large code isn't an easy task. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==What I am going to do (or at least trying)== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Immerse myself. ;) | ||
| + | Coding a small ( and useful ?) patch. Use SVN ( I know Git). | ||
| + | Detail the project description. Fix a development schedule. | ||
