Radiation Heatmap & Image Processing Engine

Developed an image processing script using custom matrix filters to ingest, denoise, and render radiation data as HSV heatmaps. Filters are written out as matrix operations rather than imported as black-box library calls.

Highlights
  • Custom matrix filters to ingest and denoise radiation data
  • HSV heatmap rendering of processed intensity
  • Matrix-level implementation without black-box library filters

The problem

Raw sensor frames are noisy and hard to read as numbers in a table. The goal was a pipeline that cleans the signal and makes magnitude obvious visually.

Approach

Write the filters. Custom matrix filters ingest and denoise the frames, implemented as matrix operations so the math is visible and inspectable.

Colour as magnitude. After cleanup, intensity maps into HSV space so the heatmap carries the story instead of a spreadsheet of values.

Outcome

A small, honest image-processing exercise: understanding the kernels mattered more than shipping a polished UI.
