The authors use inexpensive personal computer graphics cards to perform the intensive image-processing computations done in a heat-seeking missile's tracking systems and thereby dramatically reduce the execution time of missile threat simulations used by military mission planners. Using an innovative processing algorithm, these calculations are accomplished up to 3.5 times faster in graphic car...

This paper discusses a set of experiences I had in developing ROCKET, an early application generator in the area of rocket flight mechanics at the Rand Corporation. It begins by describing a precursor system I worked on at General Dynamics. It also covers some experiences with the interactive Graphic ROCKET followon, and POGO, an early GUI builder. It concludes by relating these to the recent M...

ProGUM-Web is a tool that supports model-based development of Web applications using an extension of UML. It accounts for the characteristics of Web applications and their specific development. Code templates are generated from the model for both graphic designers and software developers. These code templates can iteratively and independently be advanced and are reintegrated within ProGUM-Web. ...

Song Kernel is a chord-and-note harmonizing musical input interface applicable to electronic instruments in both hardware and software format. It enables to play chords and melodies while visualizing harmonic functions of chords within a scale of western music in one single static pattern. It provides amateur musicians, as well as people with no experience in playing music, a graphic and intuit...

This article describes a graphic tool implementation to upload and visualize raster data stored in a PostgreSQL database with PostGIS extension. The implementation was done as a Quantum GIS plugin called WktRaster, released as an open source software. The plugin is one of the earliest efforts to explore raster data storage, visualization and processing using the PostGIS Raster extension in a Ge...

In this paper, we present an architecture for rapid prototyping of visual controllers based on standard off-the-shelf hardware and software. The proposed scheme allows to control a wide class of systems including robot manipulators and underactuaded systems using digital camera. The graphical programming environment is based on MatLab/Simulink® which allows to take advantage of Simulink graphic...

Rainbow is available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. AVAILABILITY Rainbow is a free open-source software. Its binary files, source code, and manual can be downloaded from the Rainbow web page: http://...

Developed in the context of virtual environments linked to artistic creation, Egosound was conceived to visualize multiphonic sound space in an egocentric way. Ambisonic algorithms and a graphic editor for trajectories are implemented. An example of artistic project with Egosound is exposed. Parts of the software engine of Egosound are now available for download as external objects for Pure Dat...
