"Image resampling operation changes the size of a digital image. Conventional algorithms include Nearest Neighbor, Bilinear, and Bicubic interpolation. Other linear filters are also known: Lanczos, Mitchell, Catmull-Rom, and other splines. Here we compare visual quality of these resampling filters, and also review several image-adaptive edge-directional approaches to image resampling. Also we introduce a new method for image resampling, we call it SmartEdge."

Future of Humanity Institute - Brain Emulation Roadmap

From the page: "Whole brain emulation (WBE) is the possible future one-to-one modelling of the function of the human brain. It represents a formidable engineering and research problem, yet one which appears to have a well-defined goal and could, it would seem, be achieved by extrapolations of current technology. "

From the page: "Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can be applied across the brain, so that, by following the direction of the tensors from voxel to voxel, axonal tracts projecting across large areas of the brain can be derived. "

Contrary Brin: The Real Way to Feel Safe with Artificial Intelligence

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 08:54:58 -0700

"I'd like to post quickly this rumination on giving rights to artificial intelligences. Bruce Sterling has lately raised this perennial issue, as did Mike Treder in an excellent piece suggesting that our initial attitudes toward such creatures may color the entire outcome of a purported technological singularity."

Sentient Developments: The Real Way to Feel Safe with Artificial Intelligence

"No issue is of greater importance than ensuring that our new, quasi-intelligent creations are raised properly. While oversimplifying terribly, Hollywood visions of future machine intelligence range from TERMINATOR-like madness to admirable traits portrayed in movies like AI or in the BICENTENNIAL MAN."
