Software Development

re-lion can build software based on specifications delivered by or written down in cooperation with the customer - contract work. This software can be a customization of one of our existing products, a component for your own system or a totally new concept within the domain of training, simulation and/or visualisation. Our development team works based on an agile approach with standardized tooling. Projects can be completed via a fixed-price or a power-by-the-hour construction.

Feel free to contact us for more information regarding custom software development. Some examples of custom software development are listed below.

Scooter Simulator

The Scooter Simulator is an advanced system for training and assessment of current and future scooter drivers. The driving procedure is as follows: The driver sits down on an actual scooter, wears a head-mounted display (a helmet with small displays positioned in front of the eyes), and drives through a virtual environment containing roads, pavements, ramps, cars and other obstacles. Very easy to use and safe! Accidents will not harm the driver or cause any damage to real objects.

This project was developed in cooperation with Roessingh Research & Development, University of Twente with funding from the European Union and the Government of Enschede.
   

Linked Dismounted Soldier

This simulator is a customization of our Virtual Infantry Trainer. It is linked with an F16 simulator using HLA with an RPR FOM. The F16 can provide close air support to the dismounted soldiers after their convoy is hit by an improvised explosive device (IED).

This project was developed in cooperation with TNO Defence, Security and Safety.
   

Electro-Optical HMI display

The result of this project is a surveillance application, used by an operator to identify ships at great distance by means of a proprietary hardware configuration.

This project was developed for HITT NV, Apeldoorn, The Netherlands.
   

GPU based video processing

The project result is a working prototype and benchmark of a set of image analysis algorithms processing infrared data at different resolutions. The algorithms were ported from a MatLab environment into GPU code, to see if the algorithms needed to run on custom developer hardware, or if it was possible to use COTS hardware. One of the conclusions of the project is that it is possible to shorten the time-to-market for video processing applications, due to the use of COTS hardware instead of expensive custom developed hardware. The benefits for the client are a lower cost in systems design/manufacture, and a shorter time-to-market. This project was developed for Thales Naval, Hengelo, The Netherlands.
