Lebanon Domain Registration

Registration a domain name is easy but when it comes to register an .lb domain name there are some difficulty and restriction.
After doing some search we found that you cannot register an .lb domain name if you don't have an officially registered commercial company or organization in Lebanon. For more information about that please check the following guide from AUB Lebanese University: Commercial entity applying for a new com.lb domain. Also, remember that this registration may coast you a lot of money.
 
So, what we preferred is to register a www.xyz-lb.com domain name. This solution can save your money and many website do that, for example www.iqraa-tv.net, www.wrestling-tv.net,...

OnlineOCR.net is a web-based OCR (Optical Character Recognition) service that allows you to convert scanned paper documents (including multipage files), faxes, photographs or digital camera captured images into editable and searchable electronic documents including Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Rtf, Html and Txt.

Converted documents look exactly like the original - tables, columns, bullets and graphics.

With OnlineOCR.net users can process documents in 28 languages including English, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and others.

OnlineOCR.net also allows and supports: 

  • automatic image rotation
  • full-page deskew on images
  • creation black and white images from color and grayscale image file 
  • retain non-text color regions for reinsertion into the output document

3D Computer Graphics

3D computer graphics, are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images. Such images may be for later display or for real-time viewing.
Despite these differences, 3D computer graphics rely on many of the same algorithms as 2D computer vector graphics in the wire-frame model and 2D computer raster graphics in the final rendered display. In computer graphics software, the distinction between 2D and 3D is occasionally blurred; 2D applications may use 3D techniques to achieve effects such as lighting, and primarily 3D may use 2D rendering techniques.
3D computer graphics are often referred to as 3D models. Apart from the rendered graphic, the model is contained within the graphical data file. However, there are differences. A 3D model is the mathematical representation of any three-dimensional object (either inanimate or living). A model is not technically a graphic until it is visually displayed. Due to 3D printing, 3D models are not confined to virtual space. A model can be displayed visually as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering, or used in non-graphical computer simulations and calculations.
The process of creating 3D computer graphics can be sequentially divided into three basic phases: 3D modeling which describes the process of forming the shape of an object, layout and animation which describes the motion and placement of objects within a scene, and 3D rendering(1) which produces an image of an object.

Modeling:
The model describes the process of forming the shape of an object. The two most common sources of 3D models are those originated on the computer by an artist or engineer using some kind of 3D modeling tool, and those scanned into a computer from real-world objects. Models can also be produced procedurally or via physical simulation.

Layout and animation:
Before objects are rendered, they must be placed (laid out) within a scene. This is what defines the spatial relationships between objects in a scene including location and size. Animation refers to the temporal description of an object, i.e., how it moves and deforms over time. Popular methods include keyframing, inverse kinematics, and motion capture, though many of these techniques are used in conjunction with each other. As with modeling, physical simulation is another way of specifying motion.

Rendering:
Rendering converts a model into an image either by simulating light transport to get photorealistic images, or by applying some kind of style as in non-photorealistic rendering. The two basic operations in realistic rendering are transport (how much light gets from one place to another) and scattering (how surfaces interact with light). This step is usually performed using 3D computer graphics software or a 3D graphics API. The process of altering the scene into a suitable form for rendering also involves 3D projection which allows a three-dimensional image to be viewed in two dimensions.

 (1) : the word "rendering" can include, beside the final rendering of the scene, the lighting and the applying materials, otherwise they can take a fourth basic phase

How to search for similar images in Google

by Support 27. July 2009 02:34

Traditionally you will search for an image in Google using the Google Image search.  The search results are based on tags or search strings associated with the images – it doesn’t really compare or process the image itself to determine if the image you want matches similarly to the one you want.  Google is fixing that problem via a new development from Google Labs: the Similar Images service.

To start searching for similar images, open the site http://similar-images.googlelabs.com then start with a search query using traditional text search. In the example below I searched for images of Moon.  Like the image search in Google, it returned all significant images matching the search term. 


Pick an image that you want to use as a reference.  Click the “similar images” link
