FaceTracker FaceTracker is a C/C++ API for real time generic non-rigid face alignment and tracking. Goal : Non-rigid face alignment and tracking is a common problem in computer vision. It is the front-end to many algorithms that require registration, for example face and expression recognition. 1. 2. Features : • Real time : ranging from 20-30 fps (depending on processor, compiler and use of OpenMP) • Generic : designed to work for most people under most conditions • No training required : a pre-trained model is provided • Detection based initialisation : no user intervention required • Automatic failure detection : requires no user re-initialisation • Camera or video input Download : FaceTracker is available for download (for research purposes only). The Tracker : The code requires OpenCV 2.x and the provided model was trained using the MultiPIE database. J. People Using FaceTracker: Some people are using FaceTracker to do some really cool stuff: • FaceOSC • Perfect Creatures • Face Cloning • A music Video !
An API Ontology 12 February 2011 NOTE: The alpha of my book on APIs is out! Check it out at As I've done research on APIs for Designing Hypermedia APIs, I've become increasingly interested in different styles of API. You may find this amusing if you've read some of the literature on the topic, but I've created this list in a top-down way: APIs as black boxes, rather than coming up with different aspects of an API and categorizing them based on that. If you have an API that doesn't fit into one of these categories, I'd love to hear about it. Synopsis: Provide simple data through a simple GET/POST request. Examples: Description: Simple data is made available via an HTTP GET or POST request. These API are technically a sub-type of *-RPC, but I feel that their lack of business process makes them feel different. Remote procedure call; call a function over the web. Similiar to how structured programming is built around functions, so is RPC. WS-* (or SOAP)
OpenCola (drink) OpenCola is a brand of open-source cola, where the instructions for making it are freely available and modifiable. Anybody can make the drink, and anyone can modify and improve on the recipe as long as they, too, license their recipe under the GNU General Public License. Since recipes are, by themselves, not copyrightable, the legal basis for this is untested.[1] The flavouring formula for OpenCola is:[2][3] Ingredients of OpenCola 2.36 kg plain granulated white table sugar2.28 L water30.0 mL caramel color17.5 mL (3.50 tsp.) 75% phosphoric acid or citric acid10.0 mL (2.00 tsp.) flavouring formula2.50 mL (0.50 tsp.) caffeine (optional)[2][3] After mixing up the concentrate to the prescribed recipe (including all recommended safety precautions – see links), the syrup is diluted 5:1 with ("preferably sodium-free") soda water to make the finished drink; at this dilution, the above combination of ingredients will yield approximately 24 litres of OpenCola.

Web Services Description Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclop The Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is an XML-based interface description language that is used for describing the functionality offered by a web service. The acronym is also used for any specific WSDL description of a web service (also referred to as a WSDL file), which provides a machine-readable description of how the service can be called, what parameters it expects, and what data structures it returns. It thus serves a purpose that corresponds roughly to that of a method signature in a programming language. The current version of WSDL is WSDL 2.0. Description[edit] Representation of concepts defined by WSDL 1.1 and WSDL 2.0 documents. The WSDL describes services as collections of network endpoints, or ports. The current version of the specification is 2.0; version 1.1 has not been endorsed by the W3C but version 2.0 is a W3C recommendation.[1] WSDL 1.2 was renamed WSDL 2.0 because of its substantial differences from WSDL 1.1.

Martin Kool - Game Developer Gives 7-Year-Old Best Birthday Present Ever UPDATE Feb 24: CultOfMac covers this story and informs us Zias’ level will be added to iOS as well! Being a gaming father I try to raise my kids with a healthy balance of analog and digital fun. To the surprise of me and Mrs Kool they don’t seem to care about digital games that much, and prefer paper, glue and scissors and playing outside over anything else. But recently my son Zias discovered Edge. And that changed things. He loves it. At first it seemed he was starting some sort of addiction, but it became his top Lego creativity booster and his creations give joy to the whole family. And soon you can too… You could say that I know the feeling of doing more with a certain game :) So I wanted to give Zias something Edge-related for his birthday, as I knew it would make him a very happy little guy. I sent a tweet to Edge creator Two Tribes where I asked if they had any promotional material such as a poster, flyer or business card perhaps. Then he wrote me: I was amazed. It translates to
