Point Clouds Everywhere

Spent the day debugging cylindrical coordinate transformations for crusher liner profiles. Parsing raw DXF files from laser scanners is surprisingly tricky – coordinate system conventions, noise filtering, alignment to the crusher axis. But seeing the wear profile emerge from a million scattered points is deeply satisfying. The geometry is beautiful when it finally works.

In 2012, I started working on Super-resolution Optical Fluctuation Imaging at SCIAN-Lab, Universidad de Chile, collaborating with researchers at the III Physics Institute of the University of Gottingen in Germany. The goal was to implement SOFI from the ground up — cumulant computation, synthetic quantum dot simulators, deconvolution — and apply it to biological samples. After months of work, we achieved the first successful SOFI super-resolution imaging in Chile, resolving structures below the diffraction limit using nothing more than temporal statistics from blinking fluorescent emitters.
