This was an interesting exercise. Took more work in convincing a 6 year old to talk to a version of himself who is not there…

Since I was taking care of the twins, this was the only pic that could capture at this wedding. It was a quick shoot and then realignment in post. If it is not clear, there are three versions of Bride and Groom in there.

Even though I have supervised developing of hundreds of apps, when boys were learning Mandarin in kindergarten, I decided to write this game myself to get them to practice their Mandarin. It is essentially a flash card game and actually can be extended to support any flash card implementations.

In non-photoreal renderings, capturing the style of an image is an extremely tricky and difficult issue. Recently there has been a resurgence in this field with the application of Deep Learning to this problem. Specifically, in Gatys’ paper, the stylization problem is posed as an optimization problem where two cost …

Style transfer was first introduced by Aaron Hertzmann’s classic paper on Image Analogies from SIGGRAPH 2001. More recently deep learning got applied to this problem in Leon Gatys paper “A Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style” which has led to a resurgence of work in this area. There are a …

Gamma is the non-linearity in the CRT which matches closely the non-linearity in the human eye. It is no wonder that all display devices now artificially embed the non- linearity in the display. For example, a DLP (digital light processing) display that is a linear display emulates the non-linearity of …

In an innovative enterprise, it is always a challenge to look at different trends, create mini experiments that create learnings, and if we are lucky, mature these ideas into products that customers love. This has traditionally been done by creating different innovation metrics which are tracked and used for making …
