To review what a metaball is, and how to render them and to describe a
new optimization I ve made for rendering metaballs. For complex scenes,
it can render hundreds of times faster, though I m certain others have
discovered this trick as well. It does very slightly change the
characteristic SHAPE of the blobs, but there is no loss in image quality
whatsoever. (I actually developed all this about two years ago, but just
now felt like writing it all down, and had the time!)
IML package provides efficient routines to solve nonsingular systems of
linear equations, certified solve any SHAPE systems of linear equations,
and perform mod p matrix operations, such as computing row-echelon form,
determinant, rank profile, inverse of a mod p matrix.
Recovering 3-D structure from motion in noisy 2-D images is a problem addressed by many vision system researchers. By consistently tracking feature points of interest across multiple images using a methodology first described by Lucas-Kanade, a 3-D SHAPE of the scene can be reconstructed using these features points using the factorization method developed by Tomasi-Kanade.

Abstract—We describe a technique for image encoding in which local operators of many scales but identical SHAPE serve as the basis functions. The representation differs from established techniques in that the code elements are localized in spatial frequency as well as in space.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first known historical meaning of the word information in English was the act of informing, or giving form or SHAPE to the mind, as in education, instruction, or training.
