Maps – the Google version

This is just about the maps for now, not about stand-alone software like Google Earth.
I’ve become impressed by the Google Maps API when working with it, by the support from the Google team and by the constant feature updates we keep getting – and of course by many of the extensions from the community.
I’ve tried [...]

GeoWeb – Mapping the Web

Lately I’ve been tinkering a lot with maps and what is called the GeoWeb by some. I’m starting to master the API for google maps, geocoding addresses, airport locations etc through different services and creating my own maps showing markers and marker clusters to show locations for hotels, car rental offices and airports, as part [...]

Computer Vision – The 7 Applications

A while back I wrote about Computer Vision with a short description of what it is and what we can do with it, today I decided to create a list of what we can do with it, either using only Computer Vision techniques or in conjunction with other technologies.

Augmented reality/Virtual Reality: Track a person with [...]

Photography and imaging

A few months back I bought my first digital camera, and have already taken about 2000 pictures with it, probably throwing at least half of them away soon afterwards. You can see some of my photos on Picasa, and others on Flickr, mixed with other types of images. Actually, I started writing this post after [...]

More Web 2.0 – 0.3

I’ll keep exploring web 2.0 sites with this post, recommending a phone company for global calls at local cost, voki (I put one on my front page), a pretty meaningless timeticker, learning japanese, another time management tool and a nice tool for creating mindmaps.
You probably know about Twitter for short messages on what you’re up [...]

AJAX with script.aculo.us for Wordpress

I’ve been looking at script.aculo.us and prototype for making this site a bit more user friendly, and less static, with some simple effects. Using Wordpress this could mean having to alter in the current theme, which I’m not fond of since I would have to remember altering again in another theme if I decide to [...]

Web 2.0 Usability

I noticed that an old post became relatively popular, the one called “The Web – past, present and future“, looking mostly at different solutions for the future web, and touching lightly on what others have said. Today I instead describe some of my own thoughts about the future of the web – with 3D applications [...]

Maps

Since I’m creating a travel section of this site, I decided it could be interesting to make research on some of the mapping API’s out there, with Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps and MS MapPoint being the obvious first candidates. These candidates are soon reduced to two when I look at MSN Maps, and especially [...]

Computer Graphics

As with Computer Vision, 3D Computer Graphics can be explained in a few different way – so I’ll stick to the simple, the medium and the advanced explanation. The simple explanation is that it’s what you see on the screen when playing many modern computer games or when seeing movies such as Shrek or Ice [...]

Introduction to Computer Vision

There’s a simple explanation to everything, at least if you don’t care about how sufficient the explanation is. The simple explanation for Computer Vision is that this is the reversed technology for 3D Computer Graphics. The medium explanation makes the simple one look ashamed, while the advanced could be seen as advanced physics warping the [...]
