Yosemite Glacier Point

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:28:38 Z

by mattu "This 10Gigapixel image is a merge of 659 22Mpixel images shot with Canon 1ds MarkIII. We modified a Meade telescope mount to automatically rotate the camera. We were parked at the corner of the glacier point balcony for about 90 minutes to capture this. The stitching was done via Microsoft ICE and took about 2 hours on an 8 core machine. A blog post describing this in some more detail is available here: http://hdview.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!1AD33AA162CE96C2!611.entry A video describing the camera and stitching technology is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5UUrxL_2t0"

On the Argentinian side you can walk all around them, and the next day go to the Brazilian side and see them all in one go...I humbly suggest!

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."

by EdLee "See the Point Cloud for the trick. :) This idea hit me a while ago. You can clone as much as you want, limited only by hardware... and the graciousness of the model :) The board shows my favorite pro game, played by Fujisawa Shuko (藤澤秀行, White) and Nie Wei Ping (聶衛平, Black) on Nov 20, 1988. It's a beautiful game because Nie sacrificed his 5 stones in the center for the huge lower right framework -- the level required for this superb judgement is amazing. Fujisawa: June 14,1925 - May 8,2009."

You should set this so that the point cloud shows first
