5 Weeks! February 18, 2004
Posted by Owen in : School , add a commentI made a website 5 weeks ago for my ICS 175a (Artificial Intelligence Project) course and I was doing some searches (the prof wants to know how we will know when our AI works correctly–but I don’t know how to determine that) and I keep finding references to my own site. It’s just funny seeing my own (crappy) site in the middle of a bunch of references from Science magazine and ACM and IEEE.
Time-Lapse Videos of UCI February 10, 2004
Posted by Owen in : School , add a commentCheck out the videos I made for the UCI Anthology Yearbook CD
1. UCI Walkthrough - a trip around UCI’s ring road. NOTE: The file is 9 megs. Be sure you have the entire thing–the server often times out before you finish downloading it. It should end where it starts.
2. 7 Seconds at UCI - 10 minutes in front of the student center compressed into 7 seconds.
I made these videos by taking my digital camera and taking photos periodically and then stitching the frames together in Windows Movie Maker. I think the UCI Walkthrough came out quite well. My original plan was to take a sample and see how they looked when I stitched together to get the exposure, height, etc right. Once I started taking the photos I realized how painful it really was and decided just to go out and do the whole thing. It took about 30 minutes to walk and take the photos. But I think it came out OK. I took 143 photos as I walked around UCI. Every 15 steps I stopped and took a photo. I didn’t get the aim quite right, but it has a nice “rough” look to it.
The 7 Seconds at UCI I shot during the break between classes so the idea was to see the ebb and flow of the crowd. I don’t think it quite worked, but it is fun to watch and count all the people I know.
