In 2012, I began a personal Web site at agaan.com to explore how technology can be leveraged for African nation building. One of my first ideas was to open an animation studio that relates the rich oral heritage of Africans and African-Americans. Africans have thousands of years folklore that remains largely untapped by the animation […]
Projective texture mapping provides a quick and dirty way to use images as 3D textures by projecting them onto 3D scenes and objects as if by a slide projector. It is important to have an offline, software-based, general purpose algorithm that’s efficient enough to run on the CPU, portable and pluggable into a variety of […]
Medical visualization researchers have shown that wound regions segmented via active contour models can be modified manually before using automated camera calibration to measure wound size. A manual component to wound segmentation is useful in contexts where precise segmentation is ambiguous. For example, in applications that have varying requirements for visualizing differing wound tissues and […]
Advances in 3D modeling is bringing about an increase in the number of clinics, universities and researchers using 3D models to visualize human anatomy. Human 3D models of both internal and external anatomy are being created from large databases of CT and MR scans. These models are segmented into regions, and then labeled appropriately. The […]
