Chet Nieter, Ph.D., is a staff R&D engineer on Kitware’s Computer Vision Team located in Carrboro, North Carolina. He primarily works as a software developer and contributes to Kitware’s open source toolkits, KWIVER and TeleSculptor. He has also been involved with Kitware’s interactive, DIY-AI project.
Chet was the principal investigator on a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project that explored developing joint 3D reconstruction methods using Electro-Optical (EO) imagery and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data.
Prior to joining Kitware, Chet was a software engineer at BAE Systems. While at BAE, he focused on developing video tracking and analytics software.
Chet worked at Tech-X Corporation before joining BAE. As a research scientist, his responsibilities included developing and running simulation software.
In 1999, Chet received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Colorado in Boulder. He received his bachelor’s degree in physics and mathematics from The Ohio State University in 1995.
