C.Label

A WPF application using SQLite as a local database for object annotation to label image, video, and point cloud data used for autonomous driving. As additional data sources, HDF containers were used as well as a REST-API to communicate with other systems. To project data from 3D point cloud to 2D images a sync mechanism was implemented to support users at labeling complex scenes. Additionally, a plugin architecture using MEF was used to make the application extensible with different drawing and import/export plugins.

eSource

An ASP.NET application hosted on IIS and using SQL Server as a database to handle auctions and tenders with different rating algorithms. JavaScript and Ajax were used to improve usability and response times.

An Excel template engine was implemented to allow online and offline spreadsheet calculation and editing as well as import/export.

As a reporting framework, Telerik was used and export to PDF of online data was provided.
