Virtual Bornholm comments

Obviously, the previous post is the final version of the Thesis Proposal for our project Virtual Bornholm, Visualizing a medieval scandinavian island from the air. For some reason, Firefox crashes when I try to edit the post, so I'll leave it as is instead of putting it in there again...
In the weekend, I was in Hamburg, Germany - I found two really interesting books. The first one I'll use when developing for my thesis application. That book is named Visual Studio Hacks, giving a few tips on how to speed up the use of Visual Studio. After two days I already started using some of what they recommend, which is a very quick adaptation compared to how I usually take new tips...

The other book I got is called Linux Desktop Pocket Guide - which I'll use to install Linux on one of my computers, and finally having some good tips on programs I could use for anything from Office app's to Music and Video players to wysiwyg editors and programming environments for anything you want...

Some comments on the previous post, or specifically, on the thesis proposal:
  • There will of course be consideration on the GUI of the application. However, the main focus during the first month will be to find suitable algorithms. These algorithms include camera calibration, inserting 3D objects on 2D photographic background, and of course making the 3D objects follow the same real world location in the images of a video sequence....
  • Geomatric algebra will be covered to some extent, but won't be shown fully in this blog. This because of the complexity of some algebraic proofs which will be covered. Of course any such rule can be broken - depending on if anyone wants such proof to be covered....
  • The blog will cover some basic C#, basic Windows Forms (applications) and some algebra and other theoretical analysis...
