Adversarial Generation of Continuous Implicit Shape Representations

This article provides an overview of the paper “Adversarial Generation of Continuous Implicit Shape Representations”, which I co-authored with Matthias Fey. While the paper focuses on the theoretical aspects, I’ll provide a higher level explanation and and some visualizations here on the blog.

What I learned from building autonomous model race cars for a year

I was part of a university project group that develops autonomous model race cars. We are a group of twelve students working on the project in part time for year.

Visualizing 150000 butterflies from the Natural History Museum

Click here for the interactive visualization.

The Natural History Museum in London has a data portal in which they provide digital records for many of their specimens. Some of these records have images. I recently learned how to use machine learning tools such as convolutional neural networks and I wanted to use the NHM data to see what can be done with these tools. The dataset of butterflies seemed particularly interesting to me because the images are visually interesting, yet they are all similar in that they all contain a butterfly in a canonical pose.

Lego Part Designer

I made a web app that lets you design your own Lego Technic parts and save them as printable STL files. You can check it out here.

Faster Than Life – Global Game Jam 2019 Project

Like in the previous year, I took part in the Global Game Jam. I joined a team of six programmers, unfortunately there was a shortage of artists this year. During the 48 hour jam, we made a space game that is inspired by Faster Than Light.

Infinite procedurally generated city with the Wave Function Collapse algorithm

This is a game where you walk through an infinite city that is procedurally generated as you walk. It is generated from a set of blocks with the Wave Function Collapse algorithm.

ESA ExoMars Rover 3D model

This is one of my first 3D modeling projects in Blender and my biggest 3D modeling project so far.

3D printed model of my neighborhood

I 3D printed a model of the street where I live. This post will explain how I prepared the data for it.

Agent V – Global Game Jam 2018 Project

This year I participated in my first game jam, the Global Game Jam 2018. With a team of artists, programmers and a sound designer, we made a video game within 48 hours.

Generating 3D roof meshes from aerial LIDAR data

This is my graduation project I did in computer science. The goal was to come up with a method to generate 3D meshes of building roofs from point cloud data. The point cloud data was taken with aerial LIDAR scanners and is available online. In addition, I used building layout polygons, which are also available as open data. I tested several strategies to generate a mesh and I’ll explain the best one in this post.
