The field of animation has been one of the most interesting and creative forms of film and its history goes almost all the way back to the beginning of movies. The first example is a short two-minute film called The Enchanted Drawing from the year 1900. It was not entirely animated as it included live action footage, but it was the first movie with animated sequences as far as I am aware. It consists of a man (in live-action) drawing a picture of a man's face on an easel, as well as other…

Over the course of the History of Animation there have been many high points and many low points. It’s difficult to pinpoint one high point in particular but one point in recent memory is the year of 1999. This year brought forth the very memorable Iron Giant, the sequel to Toy Story with Toy Story 2, Tarzan, as well as, the movie South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut (Sterow). While the last one may not be the best animated movie ever, it still has wit and humor that make it age well and people…

We provided vision screenings to four year olds at a public Pre-K. We had the children sit in a chair at a distance of ten feet from the Snellen chart. We pointed at pictures and asked the child to identify a house, apple, and umbrella. Some children were nervous and very quiet, so we had them point to paper we had with pictures of a house, an apple, and an umbrella. Each child was given a fun pair of glasses with one eye covered. The child had to get four out of five correct on a line and then…

Vision quests, also known as vision fasts or fasting, are defined as a supernatural experience in which an individual seeks to interact with the spirits to obtain advice or protection. Native cultures have their own names for this tradition, but “vision quest” is an English term that covers all names into one single category. They are seen as a rite of passage in many Native American cultures. A rite of passage is a ceremony or event marking an important stage in someone 's life, especially…

One of the cultural myths that I have fallen into would have to be the ‘colorblindness is progress’. I’ve always seen past people and their color, or where they came from. I enclosed myself in the mindset of ‘I’m not racist because I don’t look at people’s skin color or background’. After learning about color blindness, and realizing that I was apart of it, I now know that this is the wrong way to view humans. Color blindness may seem like a good idea, and the intention might be of good intent;…

This section describes the algorithm used for traffic light and road sign detection. It also provides the hardware components used to provide output. In the proposed system, initially input image was obtained in RGB form and converted to gray scale and finally to binary images. This said to be pre-processing of images. Then filtering was performed for removal of noise from images. Color of traffic light was detected based on threshold values. Hough transform was done for the detection of shape…

Many film adaptations and spoofs have been produced throughout the decades with regards to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Even though not one of these will live up to the legacy that is Frankenstein, it is interesting to see in what ways they have honored the original piece. Animated films bring their own unique perspective to the table. This is a result of the majority of these movies being meant for children and, in turn, not portraying the correct physical appearance. However, the movies are…
