Computing Science Projects

  • Parbat2 (2005): team of computing science students that have worked on a software tool for readings and displaying of large satellite images. I have supervised these students during their two semester software engineering project.
  • Parbat3D (2006): team of computing science students are working on a software tool for visual and statistical exploration of satellite imagery. I am supervising these students during their two semester software engineering project.
