  • Effective Data Visualization
    By: David Giard
    Experience Level: Novice
    Length: 5 Minutes
    Description:

    We spend much of our time collecting and analyzing data. That data is only useful if it can be displayed in a meaningful, understandable way.

    Yale professor Edward Tufte presented many ideas on how to effectively present data to an audience or end user.

    In this session, I will explain some of Tufte's most important guidelines about data visualization and how you can apply those guidelines to your own data. You will learn what to include, what to remove, and what to avoid in your charts, graphs, maps and other images that represent data.

  • Cropping Multiple Lens film photos with OpenCV
    By: Josh Martin
    Experience Level: Intermediate
    Length: 5 Minutes
    Description:

    Hello,

    I love film cameras. Especially multiple lens film cameras that take photos all at once or in a sequence. The true pain is getting my scans back from the film lab I use and a set of photos being put into one photo because of how the cameras take the photos in the first place.

    In this talk I will show how to perfectly crop a set of images into multiple images even if the vary in size.
