job search & iconograph
currently, my main focus is my job search. maybe, i have found a good option! it is in australia ... :-) very soon, i will go there for 2 weeks to check out the location! i am sure that i will blog from there - stay tuned!
apart from that, i am catching up on some things that i wanted to do for a long time. for example, i am learning a little computer vision now. One very surprising thing is (at least for me) that a 3D model can be reconstructed from a single photo or painting. check out this example, which shows a fly-through of vermeer's music lesson - impressive!
This research was even used to refute the hockney-falco hypothesis. Briefly, this hypothesis states that renaissance painters had used optical aids to achieve photorealistic paintings. Very similar to the way an iconograph works in discworld (see image below).
The wikipedia article about this dispute is very interesting! (also check out the external links at the bottom of that page).
