UU Final Project: 2D to 3D Pipeline

The research

For my BSc Computer Science final project at Utrecht University, I built a real-time pipeline that converts 2D imagery into 3D representations, combining machine-learning-based tracking with GPS positioning.

The work

• ML-based tracking to detect and follow subjects in 2D footage
• Real-time conversion into 3D space, fusing visual data with GPS positioning
• Performance engineering to keep the whole pipeline running at interactive rates
• Academic rigor: literature research, evaluation and a defensible methodology

What it taught me

Where research meets engineering: taking techniques from papers and making them run in real time, in the real world. It's the foundation of how I approach hard technical problems. Measure, iterate, and respect both the theory and the frame budget.
