Timeframe: June 2008 - Present
Position Title: Systems Engineer Staff
Organization:
Missiles and Fire Control (MFC)
Strike Weapons
Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM)
Precision Tageting Module (PTM)
Responsibilities:

Worked as an algorithm and software developer for missile mission planning software.  Served as satellite imagery SME for the group and was technical liaison with government customer, NGA, and other LM divisions.  Designed and implemented several large-scale tools for the program, including:

Boolean Tool Suite: Created a geometric Boolean tool suite to union, intersect, difference, and subtract surfaces and volumetric objects. 

N-Side Pitched Roof Building Extractor: Tool deciphered shape of complex pitched roof buildings by analyzing the footprint of the building and roof structure.  Built a solid object representing the full building from primitive pieces using geometric Boolean operations.

Mensuration Recalculation: Designed algorithm to resample satellite imagery and calculate new rational polynomial coefficients for mensuration to support mission planning requirements. 

Linear Approximation of Pushbroom Display: Designed algorithm to calculate a 4x4 camera quad to approximate the non-linear appearance of pushbroom satellite imagery for OpenGL display.  Transform included spatial transforms for coordinate system orientation and shear, horz and vert translation, and rotations.)

Commercial Satellite Imagery IRAD
Responsibilities:

Served as lead systems engineer and principal investigator for IRAD evaluating commercial satellite imagery for weapon targeting.  Work included algorithm development, software design in C#, and supplying analysis documentation to the government.  Task areas included:

Imagery Evaluation: Evaluated image quality, geolocation accuracy, performance with proprietary targeting algorithms.

Rectification: Developed algorithms and software for georectifying and epipolar rectifying satellite imagery.  Mensuration equations, pixel sampling, and dynamic range were updated when required.

Mensuration: Used RPC equations to track geodetic location in imagery and determine imaging geometry (Azimuth, Elevation, GSD, etc.)  Used mensuration algorithms to render and correlate geodetic wireframe models with image content.

Disparity: Designed algorithms and software for real-time elevation extraction from stereo imagery using disparity models.
