RESEARCH ARCHIVE / WORKING SYSTEMS
Lab Notes,
Methods & Experiments
A technical archive for work that benefits from retaining implementation detail, intermediate reasoning, methodological constraints, and failed or provisional results. Material here is written for readers who want the machinery, not only the conclusion.
How much spatial and photometric structure survives when an image is constrained to a text-only renderer?
activeHow should visual, textual, and contextual signals be separated, validated, and recombined in inspectable pipelines?
ongoingWhat representations are sufficient for target selection, recognition, and navigation under constrained sensing?
exploratoryASCII Vision
Shadow-aware ASCII reconstruction with local illumination estimation, contrast normalization, edge preservation, browser-calibrated geometry, and face-origin reveal animation.
ASCII Vision: Shadow-Aware Reconstruction with Text Glyphs
A technical report on treating ASCII image reconstruction as a computer vision problem involving photometry, local illumination, edge structure, geometric calibration, and face-conditioned visualization.
Why the Lab Exists
A short note on maintaining a technical archive for research questions, experiments, methods, and unfinished work.
Not optimized for skimming.
The lab intentionally preserves implementation detail, notation, intermediate assumptions, validation concerns, and ambiguity. Reports may read more like working technical documents than public-facing project summaries.
Report = long-form technical record. Note = shorter observation or method fragment. Experiment = executable system. Status labels indicate whether claims should be treated as provisional, active, or stable.
