OpenSCAD - The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller

OpenSCAD is a software for creating solid 3D CAD objects. It is free software and available for Linux/UNIX, MS Windows and Apples OS X. Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as the famous application Blender) it does not focus on the artistic aspects of 3D modelling but instead on the CAD aspects. Thus it might be the application you are looking for when you are planning to create 3D models of machine parts but pretty sure is not what you are looking for when you are more interested in creating computer-animated movies. OpenSCAD is not an interactive modeller. Instead it is something like a 3D-compiler that reads in a script file that describes the object and renders the 3D model from this script file (see examples below). This gives you (the designer) full control over the modelling process and enables you to easily change any step in the modelling process or make designes that are defined by configurable parameters.

HIPR - Image processing learning resources

The Hypermedia Image Processing Reference (HIPR) was developed at the Department of Artificial Intelligence in the University of Edinburgh in order to provide a set of computer-based tutorial materials for use in taught courses on image processing and machine vision. The package provides on-line reference and tutorial information on a wide range of image processing operations, extensively illustrated with actual digitized images, and bound together in a hypermedia format for easy browsing, searching and cross-referencing.

Build Your Own 3D Scanner: Optical Triangulation for Beginners

This course provides a beginner with the necessary mathematics, software, and practical details to leverage projector-camera systems in their own 3D scanning projects. An example-driven approach is used throughout; each new concept is illustrated using a practical scanner implemented with off-the-shelf parts. The course concludes by detailing how these new approaches are used in rapid prototyping, entertainment, cultural heritage, and web-based applications.

ehci - Enhanced human computer interface through webcam image processing library

This application is a webcam image processing library on top of OpenCV intended to generate events from user's head, hand and body movements. This library is also intended to track objects so that augmented reality can be made. In order to enhance human computer interaction, the application is going to use a single webcam, without the needs to use FTIR or Diffused Illumination techniques. Besides tracking positions, this library will also be able to provide higher level events and gestures like get 3d user position, and open hand gestures. Collision with virtual objects is also considered in augmented reality.

SceneEngine

SceneEngine is an Open Source platform independent 3D Production solution built on top of an easy to use object oriented c++ SDK, the SceneEngine libraries. File input and output, mesh creation and deformation, rendering and texture baking are just some of the features implemented by the SceneEngine SDK. The project includes import and export plug-ins for 3dsmax and Maya; a Lua interpreter to do script processing scenes, including rendering and texture baking; and an OpenGL scene viewer and editor. SceneEngine SDK can be used to create applications with full 3D Production support, or to extend existing applications. SceneEngine aims to be a complete solution for building efficient 3D production pipelines with total freedom.

Sparse Virtual Textures

Sparse Virtual Texturing is an approach to simulating very large textures using much less texture memory than they'd require in full by downloading only the data that is needed, and using a pixel shader to map from the virtual large texture to the actual physical texture. The technique could be used for very large textures, or simply for large quantities of smaller textures (by packing them into the large texture, or by using multiple page tables). It was mostly inspired by John Carmack's descriptions of MegaTexturing in several public and private forums and emails. It may not be exactly the same as MegaTexture, but it's probably close.

Arauna Real-Time Ray Tracing

Arauna is a real-time ray tracer developed for game development. Being a real-time ray tracer, it is experimental, and does not yet deliver the performance needed to produce graphics of the same quality as modern games do using a GPU. However, in its class, it is one of the fastest (probably the fastest) renderer. Two games have been developed already using Arauna, both by students of the IGAD program of the NHTV University of Applied Sciences (Breda, The Netherlands).
