it is a Visible surface detection method is also known as depth buffer method. In this method detect the visible surface by using the distance of the object from the projections plane.
http://goo.gl/lZ2R4v Drawing with linear perspective is a technique that portrays objects as
having visual depth.
Linear perspective involves parallel lines converging at a point on an
horizon line, called the vanishing point.
These parallel lines are used to gauge the size of objects. The nearer you
get to the vanishing point, the smaller your objects become, and the
further away from the vanishing point, the larger your objects become.

Using this example code in Xcode, please help with this project wher.pdfamirthagiftsmadurai
Using this example code in Xcode, please help with this project where you need to build a simple
but intuitive tool to draw curves on an image, for a painting tool, which is a core function of
many graphics/image designing tools, such as Coreldraw, Photoshop. You are required to draw
curves by using the Bezier Spline rule. Your software allows users to draw as many splines as
needed. Every spline is created by four points via left mouse click. The 1st and 4th points are the
fixed points that the curve passes through. The 2nd and 3rd points are considered as the
controlling points that determine the tangent direction at point 1 and 4. So your mouse can drag
these two points to different positions to modify the shape of the curve. There are 7 requirements
for this project:
1.) Correct Bezier spline drawing
Draw the curve based on users 4 points input.
Use Bezier matrix to multiple the 4 points to obtain the correct coefficients (ax,
bx, cx, dx; ay, by, cy, dy).
Correctly plot the curves based on the coefficients.
As long as one Bezier spline is drawn correctly, you will get the credits.
(2) Bezier controlling point editing to change the shape (20%)
User can drag the controlling points freely to change the point position.
The two corresponding straight lines change dynamically according to the new
positions of the controlling points.
The curve splines shape changes dynamically according to the new positions of
the controlling points.
Again, as long as you can have the controlling points of one Bezier spline work,
you will get the credits.
(3) Multiple spline drawing
Your code allows user to draw as many splines as needed and able to edit any of them.
User can also right-click mouse button to remove spline point and thus remove the corresponding
spline.
(4) Correct spline highlight
Draw a little square around the center of each spline in grey color, e.g. (200, 200, 200). You can
make this square size 30x30 pixels
When the mouse moves into the spline editing region, this region should turn to green (0, 200,
0).
When the mouse moves out of the region, the square should turn back to grey.
(5) Translation operation
Successfully move the spline to any position by mouse dragging
(6) Coloring operation
Successfully change the spline to any color when a spline is highlighted
(7) Thickness operation
Successfully adjust the spline with any thickness
I attached the sample code that these 7 requirements should be added onto. Please help asap!
Thanks!.
Here in this presentation we will be dealing with Nurbs and the major difference between polygons and nurbs, modelling, technical specifications, basic control points, general equations of nurbs and nurb surfaces, nurb manpulating, knob removal

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
2. INTRODUCTION
In the last lecture we talked about the processes we
go through to build a 3D object.
We focused primarily on the polymesh.
In this lecture we are going to look at alternate
representations.
Bezier curves
Bezier Patches
NURBS surfaces
Constructive Solid Geometry
3. BEZIER CURVES
A Bezier Curve (or Bezier spline) is a curve defined
through the use of four vertices.
A start and end vertice
Two supplementary vertices that define the curve.
Known as the control points.
P1
P2
P3
P4
4. BEZIER CURVES
By manipulating the control points, we can change
the nature of the curve.
Governed by a mathematical formula.
P1
P2
P3
P4
5. BEZIER CURVES
Bezier curves are used for:
Modelling smooth curves
In a way that cannot be done with a polymesh
Curves appear smooth at all scales
Font representation
Vector/Outline fonts
Animation
Used to define smooth, realistic paths for movement.
6. BEZIER PATCHES
Related to the idea of a Bezier curve is a Bezier
patch.
Curves are 2D, patches are 3D
Bezier patches are shaped nets, the appearance of
which are determined by control points.
Control points act like gravity spots on underlying
shape.
The define the topology of the shape through mathematical
modelling of attraction
8. BEZIER PATCHES
Bezier patches offer several advantages
Integrity of representation
Continuity across boundaries
Awareness of neighbours
Fluid representation
Exact representation
Can measure volumes and surfaces
Economical
A single patch can represent many polygonal equivalents.
9. BEZIER PATCHES
However, they also have drawbacks.
Simple patch has 16 control points.
Rendering with a Bezier patch is expensive.
Around 10 times slower than equivalent polymesh
But this does not take into account the difference in time
requirements to model a polymesh correctly.
Large number of perspectives required to render
properly.
10. NURBS
Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines
Yikes!
Extension of the idea of a Bezier curve
Defined by control points.
Each control point has a weight
Defines how much that control point influences the
curve.
NURBS have knots
Vectors that describe how the resulting curve is
influenced by the control points.
NURBS have an order
How closely the curve follows the lines between control
points.
11. CONSTRUCTIVE SOLID GEOMETRY
Complex shapes modeled by using simple shapes.
To these shapes we add or subtract other simple
shapes.
Combination of shapes using boolean operators
and set theory allows for new and interesting
complex topographies.
Unions, Intersections, etc
12. CSG EXAMPLES
Images here show boolean operations – union, intersection, and
difference.
http://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~cs488/Contrib/f02/a5/djbigham/
13. INTERSECTIONS
When two primitives intersect, the new object is the
volume shared by both shapes
15. UNION
A union is both shapes together.
A merge, in other words.
The new object can be treated as a single new
shape
And be transformed as a holistic unit.
16. VOXEL REPRESENTATION
Sometimes need to represent 3D space as voxels.
3D Pixels
3D space broken up into three dimensional arrays
of voxels.
Each voxel labeled according to its object
occupancy.
17. VOXEL REPRESENTATION
Voxel arrays are:
Costly in terms of memory
Entire object space must be separated down into cubic
elements
Labelled according to object occupancy
Space subdivision
Frequently used in:
Game representations of terrain
Medical imagery
Ray tracing
18. SPACE SUBDIVISION
Process of space subdivision common to 2D and
3D graphics.
Easier to understand in 3D.
Start with a 1x1 square representing entire image.
Then recursively subdivide squares.
Stop when each pixel inside a subdivided square
has a single colour.
21. VOLUME SUBDIVISON
Works the same way in 3D as in 2D
We start with cubes
Recursive subdivide cubes
From our cube, subdivide into eight smaller cubes.
Can represent space/volume subdivision as a tree
data structure.
Easy to navigate and store
Offers greater efficiency of representation.
Advancement over simple voxel array.
22. SUMMARY
Various ways to represent 3D graphics beyond
polymeshes.
Bezier Curves
Bezier Patches
NURBS
CSG
Space Subdivision
Each technique has its real life applications.
The nature of the intended destination will dictate the
appropriate tool.
