Arunachalam Narayanaswamy      

I graduated with a B.Tech (Bachelors) degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. After that, I obtained a Masters degree from Electrical Computer and Systems Engineering department at RPI . I'm currently a graduate student pursuing PhD in the same department.

You can find my Curriculum Vitae here.

Research Interests

My research interest broadly include image analysis, image processing and computer vision. Currently, I am working with Dr. Badrinath Roysam on 5-D Image analysis.

  • FARSIGHT

    • I have been involved in the development of the FARSIGHT toolkit as a part of my research. It is an image analysis toolkit developed by our lab. It is based heavily on ITK and VTK.

  • The DIADEM Challenge

    • The DIADEM challenge was a scientific competition for neuron tracing programs. I was a member of the team that won the top spot at the competition. More information on the competition and results can be found here and here

  • ITK on BlueGene/L

    • RPI has created, in collaboration with IBM, a 100TFlops BlueGene/L supercomputer. I have successfully compiled ITK on this supercomputer in collaboration with Luis Ibanez, the technical leader at Kitware. The proposal for compiling ITK on BlueGene/L can be found here.

  • OpenGL programming

    • NeHe productions has some excellent tutorials on OpenGL programming. I learnt most of my OpenGL programming from there as a hobby.
