This year marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Electronic Music Studios (EMS) at Goldsmiths, University of London. The 1968 studio placed Goldsmiths at the forefront of such developments in the UK university sector. 2008 also marks the launch of our EMS Research Group, which brings together a diverse range of interests and activities in computer music research, creative practice an...

In this paper we present spatium, a set of free, open source and modular software tools for sound spatialization, describing the creative and technical aspects considered during its development. The system is comprised of spatialization renderers, spatialization interfaces, DAW plugins and Max objects that communicate via OSC (Open Sound Control). They aim to: facilitate the exploration of diff...

This paper considers techniques for capturing 3D information from image sequences for applications in film and TV production. The potential applications fall into two classes, one requiring 3D data that can be represented as a depth map from a single viewpoint, and the other requiring a full 3D model. Applications for both classes of data are briefly reviewed, and current work on 3D data captur...

This paper presents enclosure effect comprehensive by 3D electromagnetic modeling, simulation and measurement of active MMIC with package/housing. When put inside a test box or package with a cavity, MMIC shows significant deviation from it RF On Wafer (RFOW) measurement data. Cavity resonance‟s adverse effects were analyzed by eigen mode solver using CST Microwave Studio and RFOW measurement a...

This contribution introduces a new approach of using multi-camera images of an event to provide a free-viewpoint video visualisation of sport scenes. This allows a virtual camera to be moved freely around and to view the action from any angle. The system is based on 3D reconstruction techniques previously developed for studio use. A number of different 3D representations, including billboards, ...

This paper describes a method for direct freehand drawing of complex tri-dimensional surfaces by moving 2 hands in space. The system tracks the movement of 2 lights in space using 2 web cams. The light’s (LED’s) are attached to the designer’s fingers who watches the surface being drawn on a monitor. The user can draw any surface that can be described by the movement in space of a line of varyin...

This paper addresses the synthesis of virtual views of people from multiple view image sequences. We consider the target area of the multiple camera “3D Virtual Studio” with the ultimate goal of capturing video-realistic dynamic human appearance. A mesh based reconstruction framework is introduced to initialise and optimise the shape of a dynamic scene for view-dependent rendering, making use o...

– Objective: To determine pig liver sectorization and segmentation through the representation of their correlation to portal and hepatic veins, and through the development of virtual reality (VR) animation. Methods: Twenty models were obtained by injection of portal and hepatic veins from Landrace pig livers with a methyl methacrylate solution, and by corrosion of the hepatic parenchyma with ch...
