Flow Visualization in engraved champagne tasting glasses

Glass shape and especially his open aperture is suspected to play an important role as concerns the kinetics of CO2 and flavor release during champagne tasting. In recent years, much interest has been devoted to depict each and every parameter involved in the release of gaseous CO2 from glasses poured with champagne. One cannot understand the bubbling and aromatic exhalation events in champagne...

A Study of User Controls in Generation of Engraved Portraits

This paper deals with the conversion of a digital image of a person into a portrait engraved on the surface of a material (white foam with a dark surface). In this approach, a series of holes of varying diameter are drilled into the surface. A mapping is made from a set of numbers (RGB values) in the input image to a set of diameters for the holes to be drilled. The holes expose a white inner c...
