While many courses on this subject tend to focus on white male filmmakers (e.g., Alfred Hitchcock, Jacques Tati, Stanley Kubrick, Fritz Lang), in constructing a new version of this elective, I aimed to extensively incorporate women’s filmmaking to the curriculum, especially opting for exemplary films that provide a rich basis to discuss...
Silhouette-based 3-D model reconstruction from multiple images
Mulayim, AY; Yilmaz, U; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2003-08-01)
The goal of this study is to investigate the reconstruction of three-dimensional (3-D) graphical models of real objects in a controlled imaging environment and present the work done in our group based on silhouette-based reconstruction. Although many parts of the whole system have been well-known in the literature and in practice, the main contribution of the paper is that it describes a complete, end-to-end system explained in detail. Based on a multi-image calibration method, an algorithm to extract the r...
Reconstruction of collective memory through spatial representations of İzmir waterfront, since the 1920s
