Daily experience suggests that we perceive distances near us linearly. However, the actual geometry of spatial representation in the brain is unknown. Here we report that neurons in the CA1 region of rat hippocampus that mediate spatial perception repres
Eventually it was realized that geometry need not be limited to the study of flat surfaces (plane geometry) and rigid three-dimensional objects (solid geometry) but that even the most abstract thoughts and images might be represented and developed in geometric terms. This article begins with a ...

GreatElliptic- Defined by the intersection of a plane that contains the center of the spheroid and the spheroid surface and passes through two points. This is also known as a great circle when a sphere is used. It is not necessarily the shortest path between two points. Loxodrome- Defined b...
This shouldn't really surprise you since we are dealing with "column-vector" organized matrices, but we will revisit this topic next, so don't worry if this still puzzles you. It's important to use these terms accurately. For example, Maya documentation states, "the matrices are post-...
If you've worked with geometries prior to ArcGIS 9.2, the resolution values are the inverse of the precision values. The precision values are also known as the x,y-units, z-units, and m-units, or the scale factor. At ArcGIS 9.2, the terms resolution and precision are treated as synonym...
^When we first discussed this issue, you were only 13 years old, so I used minimal mathematical terms and avoided the term like “vectors”. Now you are ready to think more mathematically, and that make our discussion much easier. Thinking about your growth these years, I feel thankful....
aPoint<C2D>is a different type thanPoint<G2D>. This ensures that it is always explicit what the coordinates mean (projected or spherical), and what types of operation make sense. E.g. the euclydian distance on the plane works for projected coordinates, but makes no sense for spherical ...
Let's talk about what vectors are, why they’re so crucial to understanding 3D applications, and how to use the most important vector math operations in a visual and intuitive way that I don’t think you’ll forget.
Although some vision applications have been ported to the PS, they are generally more difficult to accelerate because of the differences between 3D graphics and vision in terms of input and output spaces. 3D graphics rendering takes a variable-length, compact, and parametric represe...
