This book presents the first full length study in English of monumental bronzes in the Middle Ages. Taking as its point of departure the common medieval reception of bronze sculpture as living or animated, the study closely analyzes the practice of lost wax casting (cire perdue) in western Europe and explores the cultural responses to large scale bronzes in the Middle Ages.

Semantic 3D Object Maps for Everyday Robot Manipulation


Free Download Semantic 3D Object Maps for Everyday Robot Manipulation By Radu Bogdan Rusu (auth.)
2013 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 3642354785 | PDF | 72 MB
The book written by Dr. Radu B. Rusu presents a detailed description of 3D Semantic Mapping in the context of mobile robot manipulation. As autonomous robotic platforms get more sophisticated manipulation capabilities, they also need more expressive and comprehensive environment models that include the objects present in the world, together with their position, form, and other semantic aspects, as well as interpretations of these objects with respect to the robot tasks. The book proposes novel 3D feature representations called Point Feature Histograms (PFH), as well as a frameworks for the acquisition and processing of Semantic 3D Object Maps with contributions to robust registration, fast segmentation into regions, and reliable object detection, categorization, and reconstruction. These contributions have been fully implemented and empirically evaluated on different robotic systems, and have been the original kernel to the widely successful open-source project the Point Cloud Library (PCL) — see http://pointclouds.org.

Object-Oriented Programming for Graphics


Free Download Object-Oriented Programming for Graphics By Remco Veltkamp, Edwin Blake (auth.), Chris Laffra, Edwin H. Blake, Vicki de Mey, Xavier Pintado (eds.)
1995 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 3642791948 | PDF | 11 MB
Object-oriented concepts are particularly applicable to computer graphics in its broadest sense, including interaction, image synthesis, animation, and computer-aided design. The use of object-oriented techniques in computer graphics is a widely acknowledged way of dealing with the complexities encountered in graphics systems. But the field of object-oriented graphics (OOG) is still young and full of problems. This book reports on latest advances in this field and discusses how the discipline of OOG is being explored and developed. The topics covered include object-oriented constraint programming, object-oriented modeling of graphics applications to handle complexity, object-oriented techniques for developing user interfaces, and 3D modeling and rendering.

Theory of the Art Object


Free Download Theory of the Art Object (Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies) by Paul Crowther
English | August 7, 2019 | ISBN: 0367209470, 1032177756 | True PDF | 164 pages | 32.9 MB
Meaning in the visual arts centers onhow the physical work makes its content or presence visible. The art objectis fundamental. Indeed, the different object forms of each visual medium allows our experience of space-time, and our relations to other people, to be aesthetically embodied in unique ways. Through these embodiments, visual art compensates for what is otherwise existentially lost, and becomes part of what makes life worth living.

java Object-Oriented Thought Process


Free Download java Object-Oriented Thought Process: Transform Ideas into Object-Oriented Solutions
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1230008648563 | 681 Pages | EPUB (True) | 6 MB
The object-oriented (OO) thought process represents a paradigm shift in software design and development, focusing on modeling real-world entities as "objects" that encapsulate data and behavior. This approach emphasizes reusability, modularity, and scalability, making it a cornerstone for modern programming. The OO mindset encourages developers to think in terms of objects, their interactions, and relationships, fostering clear, efficient, and maintainable code structures.

Persistent Object Systems Proceedings of the Sixth International Workshop on Persistent Object Systems, Tarascon, Provence, Fr


Free Download Persistent Object Systems: Proceedings of the Sixth International Workshop on Persistent Object Systems, Tarascon, Provence, France, 5-9 September 1994 By Malcolm Atkinson (auth.), Malcolm Atkinson BA, MA, PhD, Dip.Comp.Sci., FRSE, David Maier BA, PhD, VĂ©ronique Benzaken PhD (eds.)
1995 | 546 Pages | ISBN: 3540199128 | PDF | 29 MB
The Sixth International Workshop on Persistent Object Systems was held at Les Mazets des Roches near Tarascon, Provence in southern France from the fifth to the ninth of September 1994. The attractive context and autumn warmth greeted the 53 participants from 12 countries spread over five continents. Persistent object systems continue to grow in importance. Almost all significant uses of computers to support human endeavours depend on long-lived and large-scale systems. As expectations and ambitions rise so the sophistication of the systems we attempt to build also rises. The quality and integrity of the systems and their feasibility for supporting large groups of co-operating people depends on their technical founda tion. Persistent object systems are being developed which provide a more robust and yet simpler foundation for these persistent applications. The workshop followed the tradition of the previous workshops in the series, focusing on the design, implementation and use of persistent object systems in particular and persistent systems in general. There were clear signs that this line of research is maturing, as engineering issues were discussed with the aid of evidence from operational systems. The work presented covered the complete range of database facilities: transactions, concurrency, distribution, integrity and schema modifica tion. There were examples of very large scale use, one involving tens of terabytes of data. Language issues, particularly the provision of reflection, continued to be important.
