  • Blender Instructions a Summary
    BLENDER INSTRUCTIONS A SUMMARY Attention all Mac users The first step for all Mac users who don’t have a three button mouse and/or a thumb wheel on the mouse is: 1.! Go under Edit menu 2.! Choose Preferences 3.! Click the Input tab 4.! Make sure there is a tick in the check boxes for “Emulate 3 Button Mouse” and “Continuous Grab”. 5.! Click the “Save As Default” button. This will allow you to navigate 3D space and move objects with a trackpad or one-mouse button and the keyboard. Also, if you prefer (but not critical as you do have the View menu to perform the same functions), you can emulate the numpad (the extra numbers on the right of extended keyboard devices). It means the numbers across the top of the standard keyboard will function the same way as the numpad. 1.! Go under Edit menu 2.! Choose Preferences 3. Click the Input tab 4.! Make sure there is a tick in the check box for “Emulate Numpad”. 5.! Click the “Save As Default” button. BLENDER BASIC SHORTCUT KEYS OBJECT MODE SHORTCUT KEYS EDIT MODE SHORTCUT KEYS The Interface The interface of Blender (version 2.8 and higher), is comprised of: 1. The Viewport This is the 3D scene showing you a default 3D object called a cube and a large mesh-like grid called the plane for helping you to visualize the X, Y and Z directions in space. And to save time, in Blender 2.8, the camera (left) and light (right in the distance) has been added to the viewport as default.

  • Columbia Photographic Images and Photorealistic Computer Graphics Dataset
    Columbia Photographic Images and Photorealistic Computer Graphics Dataset Tian-Tsong Ng, Shih-Fu Chang, Jessie Hsu, Martin Pepeljugoski¤ fttng,sfchang,[email protected], [email protected] Department of Electrical Engineering Columbia University ADVENT Technical Report #205-2004-5 Feb 2005 Abstract Passive-blind image authentication is a new area of research. A suitable dataset for experimentation and comparison of new techniques is important for the progress of the new research area. In response to the need for a new dataset, the Columbia Photographic Images and Photorealistic Computer Graphics Dataset is made open for the passive-blind image authentication research community. The dataset is composed of four component image sets, i.e., the Photorealistic Com- puter Graphics Set, the Personal Photographic Image Set, the Google Image Set, and the Recaptured Computer Graphics Set. This dataset, available from http://www.ee.columbia.edu/trustfoto, will be for those who work on the photographic images versus photorealistic com- puter graphics classi¯cation problem, which is a subproblem of the passive-blind image authentication research. In this report, we de- scribe the design and the implementation of the dataset. The report will also serve as a user guide for the dataset. 1 Introduction Digital watermarking [1] has been an active area of research since a decade ago. Various fragile [2, 3, 4, 5] or semi-fragile watermarking algorithms [6, 7, 8, 9] has been proposed for the image content authentication and the detection of image tampering. In addition, authentication signature [10, ¤This work was done when Martin spent his summer in our research group 1 11, 12, 13] has also been proposed as an alternative image authentication technique.

Jackson Department of Geography DEDICATION To My Parents ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of my thirteen years of being a geographer, the last four years under the supervision of Prof. Duane F. Marble at The Ohio State University has been the most exciting and most memorable. His wisdom and profound academic insight showed me what geography as an extraordinarily difficult discipline should be and could be. He is always the person who stands very high and sees very far, exploring the most challenging frontiers of geography relentlessly. As my academic adviser, his unfailing encouragement, guidance, patience and professional courtesy have always been my inspiration to work more creatively and more enthusiastically. He leads us to a high intellectual plateau and offers us the unlimited freedom to face the challenges and to pursue academic excellence. I am always grateful for the paths and opportunities you have pointed out to me. My gratitude also goes to Prof. Edward J. Taaffe, Prof. Morton E. O’Kelly and Prof.
