Amazing seminar about the interpretation of shadows
This astonishing seminar, called “Accidental Pinhole and Pinspeck Cameras: revealing the scene outside the picture”, gives a refreshing view of the concept of shadows: A shadow is also a form of accidental image. The shadow of an object is all the light that is missing because of the object presence in the scene. If we […]
New Kinect sensor
From IEEE Spectrum by Evan Ackerman [Link]. …we don’t have any actual specs on the new Kinect yet. Most of the details that we’ve got are from various (brief) hands-on demos, but here’s a rundown of the new stuff: “High-definition,” “high-fidelity” 3D vision. Obviously, the biggest deal for robotics is the improved 3D sensing. We’re […]
