Only a fortnight away from the start of the master studies we are meeting once a week to discuss thesis interest and share initial literature reviews. It may be a little bit too early for all of us to know what we want to research, but I've become to like this seminar a lot. The two topics I really enjoyed this week were photogrammetry and data visualization.
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry, as its name implies, is a 3-dimensional coordinate measuring technique that uses photographs as the fundamental medium for metrology (or measurement). PhotoModeler is one of the leading softwares for photogrammetry.
The beauty of data visualization
David McCandless turns complex data sets (like worldwide military spending, media buzz, Facebook status updates) into beautiful, simple diagrams that tease out unseen patterns and connections. Good design, he suggests, is the best way to navigate information glut - and it may just change the way we see the world.
Thank you, Mehrnoosh and Valeria, for sharing these interesting thoughts!
