Statistical Shape of 3D Objects.
Statistical distribution of shape on a 3D object. A bell pepper from Norman et al. Each color represents a class of shape ala Koenderink’s “Shape Index”. The histogram below shows the distribution along with a key to the… Read More
Anticipation of Sabre Fencing Attacks
A set of motion-capture trajectories for the Anticipation of Sabre Fencing Attacks paper by Pete Possidente and I. You can see the ‘whip’ of the tip of the sabre at the end of the attack (green dots on… Read More

Photon noise. Light… noisy. Shhh. If you listen, you can hear it. Rendered via RenderMan.
Volume Render of Fish Neural Development
A volume rendering (again, via Mathematica) of some developing neural structures in zebrafish. With Aaron Beck and Jen Bonner @ Skidmore.
Marroquin patterns
I notice that I seem to generate a lot of images while doing analysis, largely using Wolfram Research’s Mathematica… so, maybe every day I should post one of those images here- an image of something I’m working on,… Read More
Yankee Candle
We were just discussing interesting candle-scents in my Computational class. Just thought of a new one: Lab Report
