Martello Tower: Inside & Out

by lostinthetriangle "This is still a work in progress (out of memory error) then I can add some more detail. Until then, enjoy! "F" full screen "P" point cloud...give it time to load! use the "View Synth in Direct3D Viewer" for the best full screen point cloud experience! There is a Martello located at Ferry Reach in St George's Parish. It was completed in the 1820s. Martello towers (or simply Martellos) are small defensive forts built in several countries of the British Empire during the 19th century, from the time of the Napoleonic Wars onwards. They stand up to 40 feet (12m) high (with two floors) and typically had a garrison of one officer and 15-25 men. Their round structure and thick walls of solid masonry made them resistant to cannon fire, while their height made them an ideal platform for a single heavy artillery piece, mounted on the flat roof and able to traverse a 360° arc. A few Martello towers were surrounded by a moat for extra defence. They were used throughout the 19th century, but became obsolete with the introduction of powerful rifled artillery. Many have survived to the present day, often preserved as historic monuments."

Tobacco Bay (Bermuda)

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 03:30:13 Z

by lostinthetriangle "All I wanted to do was show the extreme low tides we have been having! Oh well, I got carried away, again. This would be a nightmare to navigate without the Highlights feature. I really should have taken out a lot more photos, but.................... Highlights include a Portuguese Man o War BAD STING!!! A few Sea Anemone's Lots of wind and water eroded rocks. Tobacco Bay is located in the far north of Bermuda. It lies on the Atlantic Ocean coast, close to the town of St. George's and to the historic Fort St. Catherine. One of Bermuda's national parks, it is a popular public beach. Snorkelling is a popular activity, as the bay has impressive underwater coral reefs, which explains its popularity with those who snorkel. The bay has an interesting history and was intimately connected with Bermuda's "Gunpowder Plot". On August 14, 1775, a group of Bermudians sympathetic to the independentist cause of the American Continental Congress stole gunpowder from the British Magazine in St. George's, rolled it across the island to Tobacco Bay and shipped it to America."

Prague Old Town Square (Staré Mesto)

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 13:49:47 Z

by Rick "This is probably the first synth ever shot and knit together. I was in Prague in May 2004 for the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) and I wanted to capture the beautiful old town square in a way that was more immersive and three-dimensional than the panoramas I had been shooting (and stitching) until then. I decided to walk around the perimiter shooting overlapped photos of the building facades, as well as taking a few panoramas to "link" everything together. When I got back to Seattle, I started collaborating with Noah Snavely and Steve Seitz at the University of Washington on these ideas. Noah was able to create the world's first synth (we were calling them "photo tours") from this data. We later hit upon the idea of using photos from the Web to achieve the same effect. A few months later, we had the first working "Photo Tourism" system (http://research.microsoft.com/IVM/PhotoTours/), which we presented at SIGGRAPH 2006 and which eventually led to the creation of Photosynth. See if you can find the panorama taken while walking arond the fountain. (Click on the little globe to see the overall lay of the square.) There's a second 3D group taken from the clock tower (use the "Next 3D Group" button in the URH corner). Enjoy! Rick"
