A friend of mine went to a talk on Friday at McGill on neural networks and couldn’t stop talking about it afterwards, so I figured I’d share with you guys. Geoffrey Hinton showcased his algorithm for handwriting recognition using neural networks. That in itself is nothing to write home about, these algorithms have been around […]
Building on the last experiment, here is the same kind of transition, this time with envelope distortion, that warps a rectangle into an inward curved “thing”; it looks as though is it being pinched, while the 4 corners stay put. Here’s the source. The function to generate the displacement map is simple enough:
function createPinchMap(width, height) { […]
