Digital Imaging Reset Week 7

This week we played some more with white balance.
The photos with the purple mat were to show that some colors are simply not possible to capture with a digital camera because they simply do not exist within the sensor’s color space.
The image processing software and hardware simply remaps the color to a color within its space.
You can get close but you will never get to the exact color with the current sensors we have today.

Thesis update

I have feverously working on my iPhone Classroom (new name) web application for the iPhone.

You may login using:
user: a@a.com
pwd: a
Or create your own 🙂 It’s all working!
Today I will present to outside reviewers who will comment on the presentation style and on the product itself.
I updated the presentation and this time I have rehearsed it a little bit more 🙂
Unfortunately you cannot see the videos on this web based PowerPoint.
If you really want to, you can see them here:

Thesis update again

My presentation today did not go as well as I would’ve have wanted… I did not rehearse the flow of exactly what I was going to say so I felt a little too loose in my train of thought.
With that as a motivation, I cranked out some more changes to the document I presented today and now feel that the structure of the presentation makes more sense and flows better.
HERE it is.

Digital Imaging Reset Week 5

This week week I decided to play a little more with the panorama – now using Canon’s PhotoStich software which works amazing for these kinds of projects. Here is a panorama picture stitched together and then converted to QuickTime VR which allows you to pan around the entire scenario. This was taken at the Christopher St. peer. Should have used a wider lens. It takes a little while to load completely (12Mb) start going to the left because for some reason they seem to load up first.


I also played around with some more depth of field and took some general pictures:

Thesis update video 2

Started coding the html interface mock-up following the iPhone’s specs. JavaScript monitors the iPhone orientation and changes the html dynamically. CSS styles are associated with each orientation – that is how I get the menu icons to be on top when the iPhone is in portrait and on the right when the iPhone is on landscape mode. Including video was also a bit of a hurdle but all figured out now – depending on the connection (WiFi vs Edge) the appropriate movie is shown – you actually have to put up 3 different files for each speed (the third one is for desktop viewing). Fortunately QuickTimePro does that automatically for you.
