beautiful, majestic Universe

Astronomy & Space

A beautiful, majestic Universe, part of which we merely are, as much as a dust speck in a desert. There is nothing more majestic, overwhelming, then a starry night, the immensity and serenity of our universe.

Some Of My Most Challenging Projects

  • All
  • Artificial Inteligence
  • Astronomy
  • Robotics

CoDrive V1, 2x Intel Myriad (VPU)


This project started as an anti-tailgating system, in a first attempt using Intel's Movidius Neural Stick (I/II) with an Odroid XU4, augumented with an external GPS and a custom built LED display cased in a recycled, old ATX power supply.

UniMap, RGB 3d Plot


This tool provides various analysis of the image in 3d with OpenGL. You can create a 3d graph out of your image color, map your image on top of that, 3d FFT map, 3d vigneting map and do 3d color spatial distribution.


Learn More

UniMap, Telescope Control Panel


This software module handles the integrated control for the telescope and camera. Integration is done both in between various instruments (telescope, camera, focuser, sensors, etc) also with core engine of UniMap software for plate-solving.


Learn More

UniMap, Spectral Information Panel


This tool will provide you with all the information available localy or online about various sky objects types found in your image: stars, galaxies, nebula, asteroids, satellites, supernovas, comets, exo-planets, etc.Objects info/data is fetched from Centre de Donnees astronomiques de Strasbourg, United States Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station , Centre de Recherche Astrophysique de Lyon, The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia, NASA Orbital Information, NED - NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database.


Learn More

UniMap, Catalog Selection Panel


UniMap software makes use of 34+ different catalogs and surveys for the plate-solving process as well as image tagging and telescope control. The user can choose to use these from either local source or remote location.


Learn More

UniMap, Asteroid Orbital Plot


Automatic detection and plate solving ploting asteroid orbital calculations at geo-location in a specific time-frame (Susilva).


Learn More

uMouse


With the uMouse application and any USB video camera you can now replace the ordinary mouse, keyboard functionality and have hands free computer control.

CH-ORG II, Robotic Arm Platform


This is the second robotic arm prototype. It's fully equipped with three touch sensors, one slip sensor, a camera and a microphone. It has ten servo motors, six to control the arm and four to control the gripper. All ten servos are digital with metal/titanium gear.The arm's length, from shoulder to the gripper's centre, it's about 18 inches (52cm) and it can lift up to 1kg.

CH-ORG II, Robotic Arm Gripper


The gripper it's fully equipped with three touch sensors, one slip sensor, and controller by four servo motors.

CH-ORG II, Robotic Arm Gripper


The slip sensor is probably the most innovating future of this prototype, built from off shelf components for less than $10. It has under millimetre presision and it works with any kind of material.

Biometrics, a Fashion’s Gadget not the real answer

After reading articles,books and seen many movies on this theme, I see there’re are a lot of people excited about this technology. People who really believe that this is a truly reliable approach to validate human entities for security screening purposes.    However, I completely disagree with this and consider biometrics as just a fashion/trend gadget… Read More »Biometrics, a Fashion’s Gadget not the real answer
