David Bowie Song written by scientist

noreply@blogger.com (Etiënne Koreman) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 00:20:00 +0000

"An academic has used a scientific analysis of David Bowie's career to write a song which would a be guaranteed chart success for the star.

Using something called Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count, Dr Nick Troop compared the language used and success in the charts of all of Bowie's 26 albums and 266 songs.

The Psychology expert from the University of Hertfordshire found that songs with positive emotion and social processes had been the artists more successful."

Religion and schools don't mix | Björn Ulvaeus | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk: "Without thinking too much about it at the time, when I wrote the lyrics for Abba's songs the message I wished to convey tallies well with campaigns launched recently by humanist organisations in the UK, US and Australia:

'There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.'"

Computational Camera's

noreply@blogger.com (Etiënne Koreman) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:03:00 +0000

If a camera can sample the light field in a way that is radically different from the traditional camera, new and useful forms of visual information can be created. This brings us to the notion of a computational camera, which embodies the convergence of the camera and the computer. It uses new optics to map rays in the light field to pixels on the detector in some unconventional fashion. In all cases, because the captured image is optically coded, interpreting it in its raw form might be difficult.

However, the computational module knows everything it needs to know about the optics. Hence, it can decode the captured image to produce new types of images that could benefit a vision system - either a human observing the images or a computer vision system that analyzes the images to interpret the scene.

Computational cameras can be designed to explore a variety of imaging dimensions in ways that are difficult to do with the traditional camera. The imaging dimensions include spatial resolution, temporal resolution, spectral resolution, field of view, dynamic range and depth.
