JpGraph - Most powerful PHP-driven charts The Global Innovation Index 2013 - The Local Dynamics of Innovation The Global Innovation Index 2014 (GII), in its 7th edition this year, is co-published by Cornell University,INSEAD, and the World Intellectual Property Organization(WIPO, an agency of the United Nations, UN). The core of the GII Report consists of a ranking of world economies’ innovation capabilities and results. In 2013, the ranking covered 142 economies, accounting for 94.9% of the world’s population and 98.7% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product (in US dollars). Recognizing the key role of innovation as a driver of economic growth and prosperity, and the need for a broad horizontal vision of innovation applicable to developed and emerging economies, the GII includes indicators that go beyond the traditional measures of innovation such as the level of research and development.

Introduction to Using Chart Tools - Google Chart Tools Google Charts provides a perfect way to visualize data on your website. From simple line charts to complex hierarchical tree maps, the chart gallery provides a large number of ready-to-use chart types. The most common way to use Google Charts is with simple JavaScript that you embed in your web page. You load some Google Chart libraries, list the data to be charted, select options to customize your chart, and finally create a chart object with an id that you choose. Then, later in the web page, you create a <div> with that id to display the Google Chart. That's all you need to get started. Charts are exposed as JavaScript classes, and Google Charts provides many chart types for you to use. All chart types are populated with data using the DataTable class, making it easy to switch between chart types as you experiment to find the ideal appearance. Ready to create your first chart?

Timeline JS — originally Timeline — is a partnership between the Knight lab and Zach Wise, a former multimedia producer at The New York Times. He’s now a journalism professor at Northwestern University. Because Timeline JS was created by journalists, for journalists, it’s probably the timeline tool you are missing from your multimedia tool belt. Journalists can pull in data from Wikipedia, Instagram, Storify (coming soon), Twitter, Flickr, Google Maps, YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud and Dailymotion. A good number of journalists have already starting using Timeline JS and more are sure to follow. The catch to Timeline JS: there’s a bit of a learning curve with this tool and some HTML is required. After reading this post, you should have enough knowledge to start making timelines in Timeline JS. Text:

Getting started with Open CV answered Aug 6 '12 sammy2520 ● 10 ● 20 ● 41 Welcome to the OpenCV world! It is one of the most colorful and enjoyable parts of the computer science! There are many places to start from, each with its own strong and weak points. But, before going this way, you should make sure you have at least basic understanding of C/C++ (this is the main language for OpenCV, and most examples/tutorials use it, but there are also Java, Python and unofficial C# bindings). Starting points: Online documentation and tutorials. Last, but not least, do not forget to explore some other online resources, when in need: this forum The Stackoverflow OpenCV tag The OpenCV Android discution group The general OpenCV mailing list on Yahoo
