Digital Video Production next semester

2004-11-17T18:00:00.000-08:00

Here's a course that I am taking next sem from the film school here:

Intro to Digital Video Production

Hopefully will get the filmmaker's perspective of cinematic discourse production from the teacher (and create some cool project).

I could also use the project in CSC725-Intelligent Tutoring Systems class. I guess no CSC707-Automata Theory next sem... the theory core course will have to wait a couple of semesters.

Logical formalism of the camera planning problem

2004-11-17T17:54:00.000-08:00

working on formalizing the camera planning problem in modal, temporal(or maybe interval temporal) and epistemic logics. Thats going to take a while before I go to sleep tonight.

Anyway, here's a link to the Reasoning about knowledge paper.

AI Game Programming Wisdom Part 2

2004-10-05T13:09:00.000-07:00

Just started reading this book...

Just like the Integrating architechture project at ICT ( http://www.ict.usc.edu ) there's a need for some research codebase with a plugin architecture for adding/modifying specific modules. One great thing about this kind of an architecture is that reserachers will be able to use latest research in related areas that has been plugged in and will have to agree on some common representation. This will enable game developers etc. to take this reserach and quickly write workable commercial code with these techniques. Okay if the previous sentences do not make much sense then it is okay, coz I am not in the best of my health and am only writing this to take my mind of the headache that I have.

Anyways, looking at the chapters in this above book made me think of such a thing (If you are wondering what has all this blabbering to do with the title of the post).

Possible Worlds, Artificial Intelligence and Narrative Theory. Marie-Laure Ryan

2004-10-04T18:57:00.000-07:00

This book is an attempt to create a bridge between the work of Literary theorists, computer scientists, and Logicians.

Jonathan Pickering Dissertation: Intelligent Camera Planning University of York 02

2004-09-28T19:00:00.000-07:00

quick comments,

+ Nice literature review.
+ Good start at formalizing description of images
+ Alternative algorithms/approaches discussed
+ A different approach that takes into consideration perceptual as well as some affective variables.

- Doesn't look like it uses a detailed viewer model with emotions etc.
- Can't tell how it solves the constraints in real time
- No means of incorporating the rhetorical structure

... more as I read through it carefully.

Books: Understanding Comics - Scott McCloud

2004-09-28T18:03:00.000-07:00

This is a very cool comic book about comics. It starts with a brief historical account of origin of sequential art, then moves on to discuss different elements and style that characterizes a comic. Very nice illustrations(exmaples) of the techniques and how they affect the readers.

I haven't read through it yet, just started reading it a couple of hours back so will hopefully be able to post a detailed review soon.

So, here's another posting that is related to google. For some reason I can't get the right pages to appear on top of the seraches for my name. Google completely misses this blog and it really beats me. Probably because there are not enough arnav jhala arnav jhala arnav jhala arnav jhala entries on this page. And maybe the rank of this page is not very high, but how will it be if people can't find it on google. bad google.
