This is neat, colorization of black and white photos using optimization. The Matlab code of the algorithm is on the site too… – Colorization is a computer-assisted process of adding color to a monochrome image or movie. The process typically involves segmenting images into regions and tracking these regions across image sequences. Neither of these […]
When you have more than a passing interest in amateur astronomy, you quickly find that the hobby can get expensive fast, especially when you start dreaming about getting a bigger scope that will collect more light. Maximizing the aperture to cost ratio is the Dobsonian telescope, a simple large-aperture reflector on an alt-azimuth mount, named […]

On today’s episode of Boing Boing TV, MAKE editor-in–chief Mark Frauenfelder looks at some of the venerable Robot Group’s contribution to last month’s Austin Faire. Mark also covers Bleep Labs’ Thingamagoop analog synths. I have a review of these cool little synth critters on the Federated Media Holiday Gadget Guide. You can read that here. […]
Today is POV day it seems… Oscar writes – Here is a cool project from Spain featuring an Arduino POV and some 433Mhz Wireless modules. This project includes an IR sensor to auto-calibrate the display timing on each complete loop. This allows for very accurate precision and stability when drawing on the air! This Arduino […]
Cyenobite writes – Hey makers! This past weekend at the MakePhilly event, Joe showed off a really cool device that he made. In a nutshell he created a laser POV projector out of parts that came in at less than $100. I thought other makers would appreciate his creative project too. Laser POV projector – […]
