When electromagnetic radiation in the form of visible light travels from one substance or medium to another, the light waves may be exposed to a phenomenon called refraction, which manifest itself by bending or changing the direction of the light. Refraction occurs when light passes from one mediun to another only if there is [...]
Bézier curves are very common in computer graphics and also touch on mathematical aspects. In the following article we offer a short introduction to working with Bézier curves and describe them first visually and then mathematically. There are different forms of Bézier curves; linear, square, cubic etc. Linear Bézier curves are just straight lines. The [...]
An Active Appearance Model (AAM) is a computer vision algorithm for matching a statistical model of object shape and appearance with a new image. They are built during a training phase. A set of images, along with the coordinates of the landmarks that appear in all images, is provided to the supervisor. [...]
AngularJS is a structured JavaScript framework for dynamic one-page applications. As a framework, it uses code templates written in HTML to execute certian functions or commands. The data binding and dependency functionality of AngularJS saves time when writing long code. All these functions are combined in one browser, making it an appropriate server technology. [...]
The term "albedo" refers to the amount of solar energy that is reflected from the earth and returns to space. Albedo is part of the energy of the sunlight that flows back into the atmosphere. These rays have a considerable influence on our climate. As the albedo [...]
The applet provides with this www page is an interactive demonstration that introduces the basics of sampling theory. Quick start. The signals we use in the real world, like our voices, are called "analog" signals. To process these signals in computers, we need to convert them into [...]
In this article we look at the transition from 2D to 3D and how 3D can be used in a company and in the supply chain. The article focuses in part on the fashion industry, but also offers throughts and ideas for any other industry that develops products. [...]
OpenML is a useful online platform that aims to improve Open Machine Learning. It stands for Open Data, Open Algorithms and Open Research. OpenML is still in the beta phase, but is already working quite well. With this blog post we would like to introduce the most [...]
The Italian leather upholstery and furnishing company Natuzzi plans to open its first interactive high-tech shop on Madison Avenue in New York. The shop will include a combination of technological applications such as virtual and augmented reality, a holographic display, advanced 3D modeling and an interactive 3D configurator. [...]
OpenXR is an open, royalty-free standard for access to Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) platforms, devices and 3D configurators. It will be developed by a working group led by the consortium of the Khronos Group. OpenXR was announced by the Khronos Group on 27 February 2017 during GDC 2017. A preliminary version [...]
