"to remain in ignorance of the enemy's condition simply because one grudges the outlay of a hundred ounces of silver in honors and emoluments, is the height of inhumanity."
Tux4Kids develops high-quality software for kids, with the goal of combining fun and learning into an irresistable package. Our software is free: you can download it for use at home or onto hundreds of computers in a school. We support all major platforms, including Windows, Macintosh, and Linux/Unix. Our programs are used by people around the globe, and they have been translated into dozens of different languages. As open-source software, these programs can be freely extended or customized, and they are supported by active communities of volunteer developers.
Strictly spoken it's a piece of software, simulating the Solar System's bodies in 3D on your Windows or Linux PC (will work in most *NIX's as well). In difference to quite a few other programs it does so in realtime. Meaning you can view all the planets, moons and spaceships move along their paths, trace them, follow them, orbit them and even control them (time and spaceship contol). And you won't have to fight your way through hordes of green, slimey and one-eyed aliens for that ;-)
These images are hemispherical panoramas, taken as addition to my Virtualvienna Project. You can find there some of the panoramas as full panorama in a bigger size than here.
The OIS – Sensor Summit will be in Dayton, Ohio June 14-15, 2010. On Monday, June 14th the Summit will be held at the Engineers Club of Dayton and will be a day of sensor talks. One session will highlight the work of Research Scholars hired as part of the Ohio Academic Research Cluster for Layer Sensing (OARCLS). On Tuesday, June 15th the OIS-Sensor Summit will be a field day where current members of IDCAST and OARCLS will demonstrate their technology. This event will be held at IDCAST and around Dayton’s Tech Town 2020 location.
We propose a joint optical flow and principal component analysis (PCA) method for motion detection. PCA is used to analyze optical flows so that major optical flows corresponding to moving objects in a local window can be better extracted. This joint approach can efficiently detect moving objects and more successfully suppress small turbulence. It is particularly useful for motion detection from outdoor videos with low quality. It can also effectively delineate moving objects in both static and dynamic background. Experimental results demonstrate that this approach outperforms other existing methods by extracting the moving objects more completely with lower false alarms.
MATLAB® and NumPy/SciPy have a lot in common. But there are many differences. NumPy and SciPy were created to do numerical and scientific computing in the most natural way with Python, not to be MATLAB® clones. This page is intended to be a place to collect wisdom about the differences, mostly for the purpose of helping proficient MATLAB® users become proficient NumPy and SciPy users. NumPyProConPage is another page for curious people who are thinking of adopting Python with NumPy and SciPy instead of MATLAB® and want to see a list of pros and cons.
