Pattern projection-based 3D measurement systems are widely used for contactless, non-destructive optical 3D shape measurements. In addition, many robot-operated automation tasks require real-time reconstruction of accurate 3D data. In previous works, we have demonstrated 3D scanning based on statistical pattern projection-aided stereo matching between two cameras. One major advantage of this technology is that the actually projected patterns do not have to be known a priori in the reconstruction software. This allows much simpler projector designs and enables high-speed projection. However, to find corresponding pixels between cameras, it is necessary to search the best match amongst all pixels within the geometrically possible image area (that is, within a range on the corresponding epipolar line). The well-established method for this search is to compare each candidate pixel by temporal normalized cross correlation of the brightness value sequences of both pixels. This is computationally expensive and interdicts fast real-time applications on inexpensive computer hardware. We show two variants of our algorithm “Binary Correspondence Search” (BICOS), which solve this task in significantly reduced calculation time. In practice, our algorithm is much faster than traditional, purely cross-correlation-based search while maintaining a similar level of accuracy.

This guide helps lighting designers with the creative and operational challenges they face in their rapidly evolving industry. Providing respected and clear coverage of the process of programming automated lighting fixtures, the author brings the designer from basic principles to preproduction preparations. Concepts, procedures, and guidelines to ensure a successful production are covered as well as troubleshooting, much needed information on work relationships, and technology including LED lighting, console networking, digital lighting, and more. Chapters are peppered with advice and war stories from some of the most prominent lighting designers of today. 10 Things Every Programmer Should Know Chapter 1: Programming Philosophies Chapter 2: Automated Lighting Concepts Chapter 3: Preparing for Programming Chapter 4: Basic Programming Chapter 5: Intermediate Programming Chapter 6: Advanced Programming Chapter 7: Digital Lighting, the Future is Here Chapter 8: LED Lighting Chapter 9: The Age of Networking Chapter 10: Programming Genres Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Chapter 12: Programmer and Designer Relationships Brad Schiller has nearly 30 years of experience in the lighting industry. He has worked as a Technical Director and Lighting Designer as well as an Automated Lighting Programmer. He has been employed by leading manufacturers including High End Systems, Vari-Lite, and Martin where he has assisted with product development, training, and testing for many popular fixtures and consoles. Brad has experience with various types of productions including theatre, television, concerts, film, architectural, dance, and corporate events. Project favorites include: the 1996 Academy Awards, The Sydney 2000 Olympic Games Opening and Closing Ceremonies, The Crystal Method, and Metallica. Brad is also a featured columnist for Project Lights and Staging News (PLSN). His monthly column titled \"Feeding the Machines\" teaches programming principles in a simple and straightforward manner. Furthermore he has written for other industry publications and authored several industry manuals. Brad was presented with the Technician of the Year award at the 2005 LDI awards ceremony and described as \"the programmer’s programmer\".

City staff are soliciting public comment regarding the proposed changes to the design of the street skate beginner course. Drawings will be on display at the City of Bellingham Parks Administration office at 3424 Meridian Street and in the lobby of City Hall, 210 Lottie Street, from Monday March 27, 2006 until Monday, April 24, 2006.

Building the picnic shelter will require the use of a crane and a barge to install heavy timber framing, which might mean another closure next year, [Gina Gobo] said. Or flaggers might regulate the foot and bicycle traffic on the dock much like flaggers do during road work. Crews will also install a small floating dock for temporary boat moorage on the southwest portion of Taylor Dock, Gobo said, and a covered picnic shelter on the raised platform.

The dock closed in December and was due to be reopened by now, but [Gina Gobo] said Tiger Construction Co. needed more time to safely and quickly complete the $850,000 worth of improvements to the half- acre park at the end of the dock. Keeping the site closed, rather than closing, opening and closing it again was the most efficient way to get the job done, Gobo said.

Kathleen Gobos, associate publisher of Long Island Business News, has been named vice president and publisher of the Colorado Publishing Co., publishers of a weekly business journal, daily legal notice newspaper and three weeklies for the U.S. military, with associated web operations.

Veteran newspaper executive Kathleen Gobos has been named vice president and publisher of Colorado Publishing Co., home of the online and print media Colorado Springs Business Journal, The Daily Transcript and three weekly newspapers published for the U.S. military.

\"All of the major building improvements are complete,\" said Gino Gobo, the project engineer for the city's parks and recreation department. \"We're just in the final touch-up phase right now, where the contractor comes in to correct some of the little items.\" \"We're thrilled,\" Gobo said. \"Dreamland Skateparks makes skates parks across the country and the people that build the parks are actually skaters themselves.\" Some of the finished improvements at the athletic complex include refurbished locker rooms, improved seating and access for the disabled, a new brick facade and ticket booths, a paved parking lot, an elevator, and new restrooms.

In her expanded role at LIBN, [Kathleen Gobos] will oversee retail and classified advertising, custom publishing, events, circulation and marketing and serve as the firm's corporate second-in-command to John Kominicki, the paper's president and publisher. [John Wallace] joins Classified and Custom Publishing head Ken Kronke and Marketing and Events Manager Marlene McDonnell as Gobos' three chief lieutenants.

I too have read the description to myself while hurrying past the original Gobo in the West Village. But as soon as I began to wonder what ''food for the five senses'' could possibly be, my sixth sense kicked in: probably not food for me. And in a manner of speaking it was right. Gobo is a vegan restaurant. My interest was piqued enough to give Gobo a shot when an outpost popped up on Third Avenue in the 80's last year. Was there really so much demand for the restaurant's fusiony brand of vegan cuisine? Yes, I learned. Both Gobos are busy almost every night; weeknight waits at the West Village location can stretch to an hour. One I wouldn't pass by is Gobo's eggplant brandade ($7), a smoked eggplant spread, flanked by wedges of whole-wheat pita and topped with a well-dressed tangle of mesclun and frisee. It was one of the better Mediterranean-leaning dishes at either locale, much better than crumbly hummus ($5), which should be a no-brainer for a vegan restaurant.
