Computer and network surveillanceComputer and network surveillance is the monitoring of computer activity and data stored locally on a computer or data being transferred over computer networks such as the Internet. This monitoring is often carried out covertly and may be completed by governments, corporations, criminal organizations, or individuals. It may or may not be legal and may or may not require authorization from a court or other independent government agencies. Computer and network surveillance programs are widespread today and almost all Internet traffic can be monitored.
Pose trackingIn virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), a pose tracking system detects the precise pose of head-mounted displays, controllers, other objects or body parts within Euclidean space. Pose tracking is often referred to as 6DOF tracking, for the six degrees of freedom in which the pose is often tracked. Pose tracking is sometimes referred to as positional tracking, but the two are separate. Pose tracking is different from positional tracking because pose tracking includes orientation whereas and positional tracking does not.
Video content analysisVideo content analysis or video content analytics (VCA), also known as video analysis or video analytics (VA), is the capability of automatically analyzing video to detect and determine temporal and spatial events. This technical capability is used in a wide range of domains including entertainment, video retrieval and video browsing, health-care, retail, automotive, transport, home automation, flame and smoke detection, safety, and security. The algorithms can be implemented as software on general-purpose machines, or as hardware in specialized video processing units.
Objective-CObjective-C est un langage de programmation orienté objet réflexif. C'est une extension du C ANSI, comme le C++, mais qui se distingue de ce dernier par sa distribution dynamique des messages, son typage faible ou fort, son typage dynamique et son chargement dynamique. Contrairement au C++, il ne permet pas l'héritage multiple mais il existe toutefois des moyens de combiner les avantages de C++ et d'Objective-C.
Capture de mouvementLa capture de mouvement (motion capture en anglais, parfois abrégé en mocap) est une technique permettant d'enregistrer les positions et rotations d'objets ou de membres d'êtres vivants, pour en contrôler une contrepartie virtuelle sur ordinateur (caméra, modèle 3D, ou avatar). Une restitution visuelle de ces mouvements en temps réel est faite via le moteur de rendu 3D de l'application interfacée avec le matériel utilisé qui peut les stocker dans un fichier d'animation de type BVH pour être traités ultérieurement dans un logiciel 3D classique (Maya, 3dsMax, XSI, Cinema4d, etc.
Texture (image de synthèse)Dans le domaine de la , une texture est une image en deux dimensions (2D) que l'on va appliquer sur une surface (2D) ou un volume en trois dimensions (3D) de manière à habiller cette surface ou ce volume. En simplifiant, on peut l'assimiler à un papier peint très plastique et déformable que l'on applique en 3D en spécifiant la transformation géométrique que subit chaque pixel du papier pour s'appliquer sur l'élément 3D. Le pixel ainsi manipulé en 3D est appelé texel.
Motion controllerIn video games and entertainment systems, a motion controller is a type of game controller that uses accelerometers or other sensors to track motion and provide input. Motion controllers using accelerometers are used as controllers for video games, which was made more popular since 2006 by the Wii Remote controller for Nintendo's Wii console, which uses accelerometers to detect its approximate orientation and acceleration, and serves an image sensor, so it can be used as a pointing device.
Animation en volumeL'animation en volume ou animation pas-à-pas (également désignée par le terme anglais stop motion) est une technique d'animation utilisée avec des objets réels, dotés de volume. Alors que les objets sont immobiles en eux-mêmes, cette technique permet de créer l'illusion qu'ils sont dotés d'un mouvement naturel. Différents types d'objets sont utilisés à cette fin : des figurines articulées, des maquettes articulées, du papier plié, de la pâte à modeler, etc.
Many-minds interpretationThe many-minds interpretation of quantum mechanics extends the many-worlds interpretation by proposing that the distinction between worlds should be made at the level of the mind of an individual observer. The concept was first introduced in 1970 by H. Dieter Zeh as a variant of the Hugh Everett interpretation in connection with quantum decoherence, and later (in 1981) explicitly called a many or multi-consciousness interpretation. The name many-minds interpretation was first used by David Albert and Barry Loewer in 1988.
Video compression picture typesIn the field of video compression a video frame is compressed using different algorithms with different advantages and disadvantages, centered mainly around amount of data compression. These different algorithms for video frames are called picture types or frame types. The three major picture types used in the different video algorithms are I, P and B. They are different in the following characteristics: I‐frames are the least compressible but don't require other video frames to decode.
