hdr for video? The work presents a system for automatically producing a wide variety of video enhancements and visual effects. Unlike traditional visual effects software (e.g., After Effects, Shake, Boujou, etc), the system is completely automatic and no manual labor is required from the user. The major limitation of the work is that it can currently handle only videos of static scenes (i.e., videos shot with a moving camera but containing no moving objects in the scene). Efforts are being made to lift this restriction in future work. Applications of the system include: High resolution/definition video, High dynamic range video, Removing objects from a video, Creating painterly (NPR) videos, Video stabilization, Easy video editing Project website: grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/videoenhancement/videoEnhancement.htm

JoCaml is Objective Caml plus (&) the join calculus, that is, OCaml extended for concurrent and distributed programming. The new JoCaml is a re-implementation of the now unmaintained JoCaml by Fabrice Le Fessant. With respect to this previous implementation, main changes are: * Numerous syntax changes, we believe the new syntax to be cleaner. * Disparition of mobility features, sacrified for the sake of OCaml compatibility. * Much better compatibility with Objective Caml. o Source compatibility is about 99%, there are three new keywords (def, reply and spawn) ; or and & should definitely not be used as boolean operators. o Binary compatibility for matching versions.
