Machine Vision Engineer

We have designed a machine to inspect retroreflective road markings at high speed on both left and right hand sides of the lane.  RPMS, and lines, and median markers. It is the most repeatable in the world.  We are building a daytime one.  Then we will rule the world.  We have state of the art mapping software to display this information.

Reflective Measurement Systems

Development of Underwater cameras and underwater imaging systems.These were 2d and 3d based systems used to demonstrate the possibilities of underwater machine vision..Also 3d high speed tire inspection systems.

Linear Vision Systems

Adding some AOI and 2D / Colour experience to the Z heads.Developed Polarity and OCV inspection modules.Generalised these from 2d to 2d + 3d image modes.Developed very low contrast LED inspection systems in 2d / 3dDeveloped electronic capacitor and crystal component inspection modules.Expanded shadow inspection modes.

Koh Young Europe Ltd.

Principal Engineer

I was CTO of the Irish Imaging Operation which developed the SJ50 and Sp-50 series machinesI mainly worked on the SJ-50.We developed prMVC, CMVC2, quadrant lighting and many enahncements to the basic machine.We developed the colour paste algorithm used in Nokia and others.

Agilent Technologies

CTO (IIO)

I was one of 3 founders and Technical Director of M V Technology.

Technical Director

Led the development of the GS-1 and SJ-10 AOI machines, mainly in terms of vision algorithms.

M V Technology

I was chief engineer in VSRU.We developed machine vision systems for various companies including Apple technology in Cork.  This was the first AOI system that I built that worked.This was followed by work for Bourns, Molex, GESI and Motorola.With Motorola we developed SMT AOI systems for their lines in Dublin,Scotland (Easter Inch) and the US (Arlington Heights).All of these were successful, to a greater and lessor extent, especially the "henhouse" put into Motorola Arlington Heights.

Lectured in C and Pascal Programming and in Machine vision to 2nd and 4 years

Research Fellow, etc

Developed 2d and 3d solder paste inspection systems

Digital Equipment Clonmel

MSc student engineer

My time was spent 1/2 in Dublin and 1/2 in Japan (Chiba).I developed various s/w packages:Msort a sorting package.SE a screen editor for all Sord Operating SystemsWP2 a word processor - I was in a a team of 3 who developed WP2.I did the editor and UI part of it.I also ported the C language to the Sord OS's from CPM and demonstrated the benefits of a high level systems programming language to the Sord Engineers in Japan.
