Product Description
Contrast in visual perception is the difference in appearance of two or more parts of a field seen simultaneously or successively (hence: brightness contrast, lightness contrast, color contrast, simultaneous contrast, successive contrast, etc.). Contrast in physics is a quantity intended to correlate with the perceived brightness contrast, usually defined by one of a number of formulae (see below) which involve e.g. the luminances of the stimuli considered, for example: near the luminance threshold (known as Weber contrast), or LH/LL for much higher luminances. A contrast can also be due to differences of chromaticity specified by colorimetric characteristics. Visual information is always contained in some kind of visual contrast, thus contrast is an essential performance feature of electronic visual displays. The contrast of electronic visual displays depends on the electrical driving (analog or digital input signal), on the ambient illumination and on the direction of observation (i.e. viewing direction). ...

Product Description
The objective of this thesis is to learn the handwriting of a person and artificially synthesize text that is indistinguishable from that person's handwriting. The thesis builds this system for writer specific artificial handwriting synthesis from scratch. It builds a handwriting sampling text which aims at acquiring maximum individualistic handwriting traits; minimizing sampling text word count; retaining fidelity of natural handwriting. It analyzes image processing techniques to reduce image acquisition noise and extract information relevant to modelling handwriting. It shows how the handwritten stroke and letter shape is modelled. It demonstrates how writer specific realistic handwriting is synthesized by pseudo-random variations in the parameters of the model of that writer's handwriting. Finally, it indicates various avenues for further research and development to scale the system to higher complexity to synthesize more realistic handwriting. ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Bug's Life, officially trademarked as a bug's life, is a 1998 American CGI film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures and Buena Vista Distribution in the United States on November 25, 1998. A Bug's Life was the second Disney·Pixar feature film and the third American computer-animated film after Toy Story and Antz. It tells the tale of an oddball individualist ant who hires what he thinks are "warrior bugs" ? actually circus performers ? to fight off greedy grasshoppers. The film was directed by John Lasseter and is also the last film appearances of Madeline Kahn and Roddy McDowall. The story of A Bug's Life is a parody of Aesop's fable of The Ant and the Grasshopper. It is similar to the comedy Three Amigos, which is about out-of-work actors defending a town while thinking they're merely giving a performance. It also gives a nod to Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (as well as its Hollywood remake, The Magnificent Seven), which is about Japanese villagers hiring a group of swordsmen to fight off rampaging bandits. ...

Product Description
Imagine being able to "walk" into your computer and interact with any program you create. It sounds like science fiction, but it's science fact. Surgeons now rehearse operations on computer-generated "virtual" patients, and architects "walk through" virtual buildings while the actual structures are still in blueprints. In Virtual Reality, Howard Rheingold takes us to the front lines of this revolutionary new technology that creates computer-generated worlds complete with the sensations of touch and motion, and explores its impact on everything from entertainment to particle physics. ...

Sacred and Scary Reflections on Neo-Biologicial Civilization

First published in 1991, this is a gem that should be one of the first readings of anyone contemplated the sacred and the scary aspects of how humans, machines, and software are being changed by emerging information technologies.While there is a lot of focus on "cool tools" and all the paraphenalia of "virtual reality" qua artificial sensation and perception, the rock bottom foundation of this book can be found in Howard reflections on what it all means for the transformation of humans, business, and society in general. ...

"An autobiography is a book about the life of a person, written by that PERSON," says Wikipedia. Artist Nigel Tomm has other definition of autobiography: "An autobiography is a book about the life of a person, written by a PERSONAL COMPUTER." Why it's so cool? Computers can combine simulations with reality or actual events, such as generating input responses, to simulate test subjects who are no longer present. Michael Jackson's computer simulated autobiography is the first autobiography fully written by the computer. It was created using Random Generator and slightly edited by Nigel Tomm. ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Post-production is part of the filmmaking process. It occurs in the making of motion pictures, television programs, radio programs, videos, audio recordings, photography and digital art. It is the general term for all stages of production occurring after the actual end of shooting and/or recording the completed work. Typically, the post-production phase of creating a film takes longer than the actual shooting of the film, and can take several months to complete. Other film-production stages include (very broadly) - writing the screenplay, script development (rewriting), financing, pre-production, production and film distribution / marketing. ... Read more
