Daniel's Story
Life
---------
I graduated from Carroll in 90, got my first degree from Wichita State in Administration of Justice. Decided that couldn't really do what I wanted with just that degree, so went to K-State and graduated with my second degree in Computer Science with minors in Math and Physics.
During this time, I got married and have 5 kids. I am Director of Software Engineering at a small start up company, and CEO of Sterling Victorious Studios(don't look it up yet, we don't have a website yet and our first game will be released in less than a year, with our next and "more" real game being released in 3 to 4 years, one of my daughters CAO, Chief Artistic Officer).
School
Mr. Davidson by far inspired me the most to do technology. My...Expand for more
greatest achievement? Getting a robot to navigate a hallway using nothing but vision and then mapping objects it had seen to a 3d VRML map.
Things to understand on how to do that? Or things that would help to do that?
OpenCV and Plucker coordinates. My responsibility was edge detecting images and finding the vanishing points. OpenCV(had I looked at it a little longer) did actually edge detect and I wouldn't have had to do that myself, but oh well lived and learned how that worked on my own. Matrix algebra at its best.
Workplace
I work to make computers think and reason like people do. Whether that is a good thing or not, it is going to happen eventually and the work involved helps me to understand myself just that much more.
