I am a researcher at Universitat Jaume I in Castellon de la Plana, working on machine interpretation of line drawings. I receive a scholarship from the Ramon y Cajal Programme, which in turn is partially financed by the Fondo Social Europeo. I was previously at the Suzuki Lab at the University of Tokyo, where I was a research fellow sponsored by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
An introduction to line drawing interpretation.
My academic papers and other publications.
Some natural line drawings.
Some wireframe drawings.
A program for creating simple triangulated mesh models.
A program for creating heightmaps of islands.
Some basic geometric functions implemented in C.
My CV. There is also a longer version.
Some notes on sketch input which I am gradually putting together. Essentially, this is what I would put in my PhD thesis if I were writing it now. Quite a lot has changed in the last five years.
Some old notes on sketch input, retrieved from my (now defunct) Cardiff University web site. The algorithms are now out of date, but the set of test drawings is still useful.
My personal web site tells you more about me, including my hobbies and interests.
A threatening letter to Cardiff University.
Yahoo frequently refuses to accept messages sent by users of UK2.NET. As far as I can ascertain, this is a matter of policy, not a bug.
My personal e-mail account is with UK2.NET, and Yahoo's stupid action (one of many) has displeased me sufficiently that I intend to retaliate.
If your e-mail account is with Yahoo, be warned that I refuse to accept messages sent from Yahoo accounts. Any messages I receive from Yahoo e-mail addresses will be deleted unread.
I gather that they are closing geocities.
I have some very old web sites on Yahoo, but I do not maintain them. It will be no great loss to anyone if Yahoo deletes them.
That does not mean that everything on geocities is equally unimportant. Deleting geocities is another stupid action.
The copyright status of all the natural line drawings, wireframe drawings, and vertex/edge data which I have produced and which can be found on this web site is this:
I own the copyright to all of these drawings. In those cases where I was sufficiently inspired by someone else's drawing to want something like it in my own collection, I have (a) created my own drawing, similar to but not identical to the one which inspired it, and (b) cited the source which inspired it.
Several organisations, including Cardiff University and a number of publishers of academic journals, have tried to grab the copyright to these drawings for themselves, and in all cases I have told them bluntly where to get off.
Anyone may use any of these drawings freely in any work the purpose of which is to advance human knowledge. That specifically includes, but is not restricted to, research work done in universities. The source should be acknowledged in an appropriate manner (by citation in an academic paper, by hyperlink in a web page, or whatever else seems appropriate).
The copyright status of all the photographs which I have taken and which can be found on this web site is this:
I took all of these photographs and I own the copyright to all of these photographs.
Anyone may use any of these photographs freely in any work the purpose of which is to advance human knowledge. That specifically includes, but is not restricted to, research work done in universities. The source should be acknowledged in an appropriate manner (by citation in an academic paper, by hyperlink in a web page, or whatever else seems appropriate).
