*-----------------------------------------------------------------* | Desktop 3D Photography | | | | Jean-Yves Bouguet Pietro Perona | | Intel Corporation California Institute of Technology | | | | Course 19 - SIGGRAPH 2000 - New-Orleans | *-----------------------------------------------------------------* A - Getting started: -------------------- The main HTML presentation file is: index.htm Load that file using your favorite Web Browser (Netscape, IE,...) B - How to navigate: -------------------- To start the slide show, click on the button "Click here to start the slide show" located in the header of the index page. The presentation will then start at the first slide of the presentation (the title slide). A click on "Help" brings you to that very text file (readme.txt). The presentation can also be started at any other slide by clicking on its corresponding thumbnail picture. From within the presentation, there are different ways to navigate. The standard way is using the forward and backward arrows appearing at the top of each slide (single arrows). The double arrows let you go either to the very end of the presentation (to the last slide) or back to the very beginning (to the first slide). The "i" button located on the right of the arrow buttons, still at the top of the slide image, lets you go back to the initial index page (index.htm). The "home" button take you to my web page: http://www.vision.caltech.edu/bouguetj C - Additional functionalities: ------------------------------- All the reconstruction results are included in VRML format. To access to the VRML meshes, simply click on the corresponding picture on the slide. For example, on slide #13, a simple click on the snap shot picture of the mesh of the angel lets you load the actual VRML mesh. The same procedure may be followed in all slides containing reconstruction results (whenever the words "Click to see VRML mesh(es)" appear on the slide). The list of all VRML meshes (10) is shown on slide #24. On that slide, one may click on any mesh snap shot for loading its corresponding VRML file. Note: For a VRML viewer, one may download the cosmo viewer, available online at: http://www.cosmosoftware.com/download/ On slide #24, click on the text saying "Click here to visit the MetaStream gallery". This loads a new gallery page with all the 3D meshes. Try it, that is rather impressive! The MetaStream2 viewer is avaible online at: http://www.metastream.com/plugins.html A few animated GIFs are also accessible on slides #13, #18 and #19. Click on the images on the left-hand side of the slide, and another HTML page containing a short animated GIF will open. Follow the indication "Click to see animation". A MPEG movie is also accessible on slides #21. To open it, click on either image shown on the top part of the slide. For PC, the Windows Media Player may be used: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/download/allplayers.asp Almost all references cited throughout the presentation have direct links to the three reference slides (#25, #26 and #27). The only reference that does not have an associated description in the reference slides is the one on slide #11. Some of the reference papers are also included in the CDROM course material. Make sure you check the material available on the CDROM. Finally, notice that the first, the 25th and the 26th contain links to a few relevant web sites (at Caltech).
