linguistic-image-manager : Linguistic Image Manager
After searching for image collection managers that fit my needs, I decided to start my own :-)The main difference to most managers out there will be the usage of a linguistic interface.
If you want to see to code as it is so far, have a look at the development page.
PhD : PhD thesis (work in progress...)
I'm working at the IAAT on a PhD thesis in Very High Energy Astronomy.
The thesis will contain two parts, one deals with the development of the Mirror Alignment Control System for phase II of the HESS experiment. The other part is a morphology study of HESS I data from the source HESSJ1837-069.
This causes all kinds of problems. Luckily there are other people around the world facing the same problem and some of them might have found good solutions to deal with this.
General analysis results of the source can be found here, if you are part of the HESS collaboration
The HESS telescopes
The HESS experiment currently operates 4 telescopes in Namibia. A new extension, HESS phase II, is under construction. I'm developing a semi-automatic system for aligning the ~900 mirrors of the new telescope.The morphology study
One problem with most Very High Energy data at the moment is that the observational background is very high compared to the source signal, and that both are very low. This means that we have to deal with data that follows a Poisson distribution rather then a Gaussian distribution.This causes all kinds of problems. Luckily there are other people around the world facing the same problem and some of them might have found good solutions to deal with this.

Swint : The Swarm Intelligence Game
Several robots have to find the goal on an unknown map without running out of energy. The robots have to be written beforehand and no user interaction will take place once the game runs. This is the graphical client written in python. An alternative commandline client (written in ruby) can be found here: swint
DrQuarto : The Quarto Game
This game was written for Christoph Tenzers PhD celebration. The original game is a wooden field with round/square, black/white, small/tall and marked/non-marked figures. For the celebration, Chris had to play this game with a theme covering his PhD, hobbies and personal life.You can find the source code at launchpad. Improvements are welcome! It's all Python.
