Electronics Engineering, ITBA University, Buenos Aires, Argentina 1984 THESIS Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Chicago, 2004 Chicago, Illinois ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I arrived at UIC in the winter of 1996, more than seven years ago. I had a lot to learn: how to find my way around a new school, a new city, a new country, a new culture and how to do computer science research. Those first years were very difficult for me and honestly I would not have made it if it were not for my old friends and the new ones I made at the laboratory and my colleagues. There are too many to list them all, so let me juts mention a few examples. I would like to thank my thesis committee (Thomas DeFanti, Daniel Sandin, Andrew Johnson, Jason Leigh and Joel Mambretti) for their unwavering support and assistance. They provided guidance in several areas that helped me accomplish my research goals and were very encouraging throughout the process. I would especially like to thank my thesis advisor Daniel Sandin for laying the foundation of this work and his continuous encouragement and feedback. He has been a constant source of great ideas and useful guidelines during my Thesis’ program. Thanks to Professor J. Ben-Arie for teaching me about science and computer vision.

    There are 500 Stories at 3D-Con: This is One of Them I would like to welcome you to 3D-Con, a combined convention for the ISU and NSA. This is my second convention that I have been chairman for and fourth Southern California one that I have attended. Incidentally the first convention I chaired was the first one that used the moniker 3D-Con as suggested by Eric Kurland. This event has been harder to plan due to the absence of two friends who were movers and shakers from the last convention, David Washburn and Ray Zone. Both passed before their time soon after the last convention. I thought about both often when planning for this convention. The old police procedural movie the Naked City starts with the quote “There are eight million stories in the naked city; this has been one of them.” The same can be said of our interest in 3D. Everyone usually has an interesting and per- sonal reason that they migrated into this unusual hobby. In Figure 1 My Dad and his sister on a keystone view 1932. a talk I did at the last convention I mentioned how I got inter- ested in 3D. I was visiting the Getty Museum in southern Cali- fornia where they had a sequential viewer with 3D Civil War stereoviews, which I found fascinating.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Lions Of Los Angeles by Lilly Pink L.A. Zoo Mourns 'Inseparable' Lion Couple's Death: We're 'Touched by Their Loyal Companionship' A loving pair of zoo lions were both euthanized due to declining health. On Thursday, the Los Angeles Zoo announced that its team made the "difficult decision" to humanely euthanize two African lions, named Hubert and Kalisa, because of "age-related illnesses that diminished their quality of life." The 21-year-old animals lived at the zoo for the last six years of their lives. "Hubert and Kalisa are an iconic part of the L.A. Zoo experience, and our staff and guests have been touched by their loyal companionship," Denise Verret, CEO and zoo director of the L.A. Zoo, said in a press release. "Their longevity is truly a testament to the level of expert care our veterinary and animal care teams provide for our elderly animals." "These lions will remain a positive part of our history, and they will be greatly missed," Verret added. Hubert was born in February 1999 at the Lincoln Park Zoo, and he has since fathered 10 cubs. Kalisa, his long-time companion, was born in December 1998, and the two were moved from the Woodland Park Zoo to Los Angeles in 2014. Though Hubert and Kalisa were long-time companions, they never had cubs together.

  • Changing Perspective in Stereoscopic Images
    1 Changing Perspective in Stereoscopic Images Song-Pei Du, Shi-Min Hu, Member, IEEE, and Ralph R. Martin Abstract—Traditional image editing techniques cannot be directly used to edit stereoscopic (‘3D’) media, as extra constraints are needed to ensure consistent changes are made to both left and right images. Here, we consider manipulating perspective in stereoscopic pairs. A straightforward approach based on depth recovery is unsatisfactory: instead, we use feature correspon- dences between stereoscopic image pairs. Given a new, user-specified perspective, we determine correspondence constraints under this perspective, and optimize a 2D warp for each image which preserves straight lines and guarantees proper stereopsis relative to the new camera. Experiments verify that our method generates new stereoscopic views which correspond well to expected projections, for a wide range of specified perspective. Various advanced camera effects, such as dolly zoom and wide angle effects, can also be readily generated for stereoscopic image pairs using our method. Index Terms—Stereoscopic images, stereopsis, perspective, warping.
