Nimajin: Retinal Fields for Colours?
http://nimajin.blogspot.com/2013/09/retinal-fields-for-colours.html
Wednesday, September 11, 2013. Retinal Fields for Colours? When I use a centre-surround field to detect blobs, it does not see apples in a tree. I think this is because I've transformed the input to grey-scale. Because of this red and green are pretty much the same intensity and therefore a red apple with a green background exhibits no contrast. But what if fields compared different colours? Could contrast the primaries:. Red-green - this would see apple in tree. Red is dirt, fur, fire, flowers.

Nimajin: On Color, Materials and Lighting
http://nimajin.blogspot.com/2009/09/on-color-materials-and-lighting.html
Monday, September 28, 2009. On Color, Materials and Lighting. First I should say what everyone says - yeah it's been a while. One excuse is I always think it'll take me a long time to write anything here so I put it off. That's because I want to write well, so I spend a lot of time expanding explanations. Maybe I can put more stuff in this blog if I just write my fast way - which is usually point lists. By the way, I have updated the projects list on the Nimajin. So, it took 10 minutes to get the lightin...

Monday, April 6, 2009. TimetablEd Now Does Orders And Consists. The Post T railroad simulator timetable editor is gaining new capabilities rapidly! The main panel has been reorganized to show movement orders. This was made possible by compacting the operating days into a new selector that shows the days by their initial letter, in the same way shown by the Stops chart. Raction, E. Team) and P. Assenger.

Nimajin: November 2010
http://nimajin.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 10, 2010. Smartphone traffic on wireless networks will increase 700 percent over the next five years. My title was extracted from this article at VON. That points out just how pervasive wireless device networking is becoming and how hard it is for the wireless carriers to provide the service. I am really not surprised. How could you not like having access to all of the Net wherever you are? An article in InformationWeek. For $8 per month! That'll congest the networks more!

Nimajin: January 2008
http://nimajin.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 28, 2008. You know when you remember a bit of melody, but can't place the song? I've got an idea to create a website to accept input of musical notation and find out what the song is and return information, MP3's and sheet music. So all we need is a simple notation input, a database of notation for all songs in history, rights to use the notation, a fast and smart matching algorithm, a web front end, and we've got a music search site! Capture from a midi device. We'll want closest matches.

Nimajin: July 2008
http://nimajin.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Centres are Circular Things. If the receptive field centre covers a large area, it will provide a really big output when it's focused on a round object (that fits within the centre). So maybe there's not really a curve detector in a brain at all? Centres Can Be Corners. Centre/surround receptive fields can detect corners! Of course these mid-range values can also indicate some other messy patterns, but that kind of stuff can be neutralized by expectation. Friday, July 18, 2008.

Nimajin: Script Apps In Smartphones Considered Evil
http://nimajin.blogspot.com/2011/02/one-of-virtues-of-linux-that-anybody.html
Monday, February 14, 2011. Script Apps In Smartphones Considered Evil. One of the virtues of Linux - that anybody can write their programs any way they like - can become a detriment in the limited resources of the Android environment over the long term. The script is interpreted by Python running in SL4A running in Java in Android. All of the dependent libraries have to be loaded. Look at all that RAM being used! From the usability perspective, to support scripted apps, the users have the extra complicat...
