2-D and 3-D Image Registration: for Medical, Remote Sensing, and Industrial Applications

2-D and 3-D Image Registration: for Medical, Remote Sensing, and Industrial Applications

Product Description
To master the fundamentals of image registration, there is no more comprehensive source than 2-D and 3-D Image Registration. In addition to delving into the relevant theories of image registration, the author presents their underlying algorithms. You’ll also discover cutting-edge techniques to use in remote sensing, industrial, and medical applications.

Examples of image registration are presented throughout, and the companion Web site contains all the images used in the book and provides links to software and algorithms discussed in the text, allowing you to reproduce the results in the text and develop images for your own research needs. 2-D and 3-D Image Registration serves as an excellent textbook for classes in image registration as well as an invaluable working resource.

The Making of Second Life: Notes from the New World

For those unfamiliar with the hype or the ridicule, Second Life is a massively multi-user online world, a vast simulation created by ordinary loggers-in using 3-D graphic-design tools from the site’s proprietor, Linden Labs. Posing as animated avatars, Residents ramble or fly through the videoscape; they socialize with other avatars, create art, have sex, build cities, open shops and nightclubs, spend Linden Dollars (redeemable for real dollars) and fight wars, all while seated at their computer screens.

Au, a journalist who chronicled the site as Linden Labs’ reporter-avatar, visits the usual dot-com–saga touchstones. There’s the shoestring startup by eccentric geeks; the pilgrimage to Burning Man; the bloviating visionary founder, Philip Rosedale (I’m passionate about Second Life because there doesn’t need to be a God); the marketing gobbledygook about Leverag[ing] Metaverse Brands. Au celebrates Second Life as a seedbed for unfettered cybercapitalism, a liberating outlet for the masses’ pentup creativity and a lucid dream that erases the virtual-real divide. Alas, in his telling, Second Life’s ongoing fantasia—the monkey now perched on the wing screamed ‘DIEEEE’ as he strafed a well-armed babe in a bikini—feels very much like a recounted dream: creative, certainly, but rather tedious and patently irrelevant.

The Ultimax Apocalypse. Introducing the first Maya DVD for 3D-Palace, learn how to create this monster of a model. Right from the start you’ll learn important techniques for streamlining work flow by changing the very User Interface to suit your modeling needs. Learn how to create your own custom shelf, complete with every tool and function you will need for the job at hand. The model itself starts from nothing but a cylinder, where straight away you will be shown how to manipulate objects, object components and various tools to create the desired polygonal model. The set is split into 3 main segments: The Arms, The Gun and The Engines. Each entails a mass of detail from individual scalable turrets to singular rivets to produce a model not only heavy in looks, but suitable for Film and Broadcast use. Techniques such as smoothing and duplication are utilized to great effect in the creation of the engines. You will even learn how to fake smoothing on primitive objects through heavy use of the bevel tool.

Video Game Spaces: Image, Play, and Structure in 3D Worlds

Product Description
The move to 3D graphics represents a dramatic artistic and technical development in the history of video games that suggests an overall transformation of games as media. The experience of space has become a key element of how we understand games and how we play them. In Video Game Spaces, Michael Nitsche investigates what this shift means for video game design and analysis.

Navigable 3D spaces allow us to crawl, jump, fly, or even teleport through fictional worlds that come to life in our imagination. We encounter these spaces through a combination of perception and interaction. Drawing on concepts from literary studies, architecture, and cinema, Nitsche argues that game spaces can evoke narratives because the player is interpreting them in order to engage with them. Consequently, Nitsche approaches game spaces not as pure visual spectacles but as meaningful virtual locations. His argument investigates what structures are at work in these locations, proceeds to an in-depth analysis of the audiovisual presentation of game worlds, and ultimately explores how we use and comprehend their functionality.

Nitsche introduces five analytical layers—rule-based space, mediated space, fictional space, play space, and social space—and uses them in the analyses of games that range from early classics to recent titles. He revisits current topics in game research, including narrative, rules, and play, from this new perspective.

Video Game Spaces provides a range of necessary arguments and tools for media scholars, designers, and game researchers with an interest in 3D game worlds and the new challenges they pose.

Projecting one 3D layer onto another is useful for creating film and video projections as well as stained glass effects.

In After Effects: Light Transmission, instructor Chris Meyer demonstrates the required steps, including mastering shadows and the Light Transmission parameter. He teaches numerous tips and tricks for building 3D worlds (including using seamless tiles), grouping together layers and lights, softening or sharpening projections, and using �negative light� to remove unwanted light leaks from a scene.
