Fundamental 3D Matrix Calculations

The engineers at Ashima (a company I work with) are dealing with this problem in a flying platform that we're working on. I could explain it but it's easier to show you the YouTube Video.

LL said...: Darlin - Numbers can twist your noodle, but they serve to explain the world around us - as best as it can be explained.; February 5, 2011 at 7:09 AM
Euripides said...: Well. That was enlightening. I'll have to share a video rap argument between Keynes and Hayek. That'll show you.; February 5, 2011 at 1:22 PM
darlin said...: LL those types of numbers frighten me, they make me not want to know! lol Nonetheless, hats off to those who can make sense of the numbers, I'll try to look after what numbers can't sort out.; February 5, 2011 at 3:14 PM
LL said...: Euripides - I tremble at the thought...

Darlin - It's just the trifocal transfer of points on the epipolar plane. And the value F simply represents the matrix.

Opus - Nobody said that it isn't frustrating.; February 5, 2011 at 5:31 PM
darlin said...: LL thank you for the clarification, now it makes sense. ;-); February 6, 2011 at 12:07 AM

Welcome to the Machine!

This blog has many elements and depending on your interests, may pique your imagination...or not. I urge you to be unreasonable. Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. The unreasonable persist in trying to adapt the world to themselves, therefore all progress depends on unreasonable people. The more unreasonable you are, the more likely you are to enjoy this blog. All men dream, but not equally.

If you're a socialist or a Marxist, you'll find that I poke fun at your absurd notions of "good government" on a regular basis. So you might not wish to follow this blog because you'll be offended.

John Locke said, "One unerring mark of the love of truth is not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant." I like what Locke said. We can't theorize without adequate information because when we do we inevitably twist facts to suit theories rather than theories to suit facts. In this blog and in my life, I try to maintain this perspective.

Either you believe in our essential spark of shared divinity, or you succumb to our human insecurity. Either way your conscience lets you slice it, the main thing is to earnestly do what is right at the time.

This is My Journey.
