|3-D Scanning with a regular camera or phone!
3-D television is creating a huge buzz in the consumer space, but the generation of 3-D content remains a largely professional endeavor. Our research demonstrates an easy-to-use system for creating photorealistic, 3-D-image-based models simply by walking around an object of interest with your phone, still camera, or video camera. The objects might be your custom car or motorcycle, a wedding cake or dress, a rare musical instrument, or a hand-crafted artwork. Our system uses 3-D stereo matching techniques combined with image-based modeling and rendering to create a photorealistic model you can navigate simply by spinning it around on your screen, tablet, or mobile device.
|3-D, Photo-Real Talking Head
Dynamic texture mapping helps bypass the difficulties in rendering soft tissues like lips, tongue, eyes, and wrinkles, moving us one step closer to being able to create a more realistic personal avatar.
|Applied Sciences Group: Smart Interactive Displays
Steven Bathiche, Director, Microsoft Applied Sciences, shares his team's latest work on the next generation of Smart Interactive Displays.
|Facial Recognition in Videos
Face recognition in video is an emerging technology that will have great impact on user experience in fields such as television, gaming, and communication. In the near future, a television or an Xbox will be able to recognize people in the living room, home video will be annotated automatically and become searchable, and TV watchers will be able to get information about an unfamiliar actor, athlete, or singer just by pointing to the person on the screen. Our research showcases the face-recognition technology developed by Innovation Labs. Our technology includes novel algorithms in face detection, recognition, and tracking. The research demonstrates semi-automatic labeling of videos, a novel TV-watching experience using faces in a video as hyperlinks to get more information, and automatic recognition of the person in front of the television, Xbox, or computer.
|High-Performance Cancer Screening
See how a high–performance, 3-D rendering engine can be transformed into a real-world, life-saving medical application.
|InnerEye: Visual Recognition in the Hospital
InnerEye focuses on the analysis of patient scans using machine learning techniques for automatic detection and segmentation of healthy anatomy as well as anomalies.
See how simulating real-world physics behaviors can be used to manipulate virtual 3-D objects using 3-D projection and a Kinect depth camera.
|Mobile Photography-Capture, process and View
The mobile phone is becoming the most popular consumer camera. While the benefits are quite clear, the mobile scenario presents several challenges. It is not always easy to capture good photos. Image-processing tools can improve photos after capture, but there are few tools tailored to on-phone image manipulation. We present phone-based image enhancement tools that are tightly integrated with cloud services. Heavy computation is off-loaded to the cloud, which enables faster results without impacting the phone's performance.
|Project Emporia and Social News Search for Companies
FUSE Labs delivers two new projects that give users new ways to create, connect and collaborate with the people, information and ideas that matter to them.
An object-oriented research project delivers an interactive assistant for freehand drawing by recognizing what you're trying to draw and suggesting traceable pen strokes to improve your drawing.
|A montage of impact made by Microsoft Research
Nearly every product that Microsoft ships includes technology from Microsoft Research. Through exploration and collaboration with product groups and academic institutions, Microsoft Research advances the state of the art of computing.

The neocon promise of a third-party "Never Trump" candidate turns out to be a farce, as the mystery candidate is an obscure writer for National Review. [3]
"Trump: Zoo had 'no choice' but to shoot gorilla." "You have a child, a young child, that's at stake," he added. [4] Pro-aborts cannot be happy with Trump's stance.
Trump slams 'spoiler' bid after Kristol says independent candidate to run." Neocons oppose Trump and Kristol promises "an independent candidate--an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance." [5]
Some enemies one cannot negotiate with. That includes the enemies of Israel, especially the Muslim ones. [6]
The noose tightens around Hillary Clinton. And considering her history, it is long overdue. [7]
The retired director of the Columbus Zoo, Jack Hanna, said of the rare gorilla Harambe, "I've seen him take a green coconut, which you can't bust open with a sledgehammer and squish it like this. You're dealing with either human life or animal life here." [8] Easy choice for pro-lifers, not so easy for liberals.
The right decision by zookeepers to kill a rare gorilla in order to save a 4-year boy compels liberals to confront their own views toward the value of human life. [9] Human life comes first for conservatives.
An Israeli top general speaks about the appalling weakness Israel has sometimes shown toward her enemies. [10]
Boy Scouts membership has declined after caving into the homosexual agenda, but its departing president says there are new corporate sponsorships! [11]
The world of libertarians: Gary Johnson is booed at the debate of the Libertarian Party for supporting drivers' licenses. [12]
Ted Cruz is still running for president, and still refuses to admit that Donald Trump is the nominee. [13] This is getting beyond bizarre.
Game over: Hillary's emailageddon is coming.[14][15]
Trouble in liberal paradise: "Dems short $10M for convention ... Another source told Buzzfeed the deficit is closer to $16 million." [16]
When even the government makes it easier to prey on the innocent. [17]
Why strategic doctrine is so important – and why Israel needs one fast. [18]
Damning report on Emailgate shows Hillary can't be trusted.[19]
What Israel needs to do most is stay true to her Jewish roots, including the Torah, or Law. [20]
"Donald Trump Clinches GOP Nomination." [21] Yet some Republican officials still cling to anti-Trump animosity.
One thing Ted Cruz' supporters overlooked: his associations with globalist players. And: does modern globalism fit descriptions in Bible prophecy? [22]
Cruz-supporter Rush Limbaugh still refuses to endorse Trump. [23] Does jealousy explain some of the lingering anti-Trump animus?
How the United Nations distorts history, especially in the Middle East. A brave correspondent blows the whistle. [24]
"The rise of Donald Trump is threatening the power of neoconservatives, who find themselves at risk of being marginalized in the Republican Party." [25]
Worst College Majors: "Islamophobia Studies Are Coming To A College Near You, And There Won't Be Any Debate About It." [26]
It pains the Washington Post to show Donald Trump polling better than Hillary Clinton. It's Liberal style and a knee-jerk reaction for them to bury the announcement. [27]
Feminist Megyn Kelly has a ratings flop for her much-promoted interview with Donald Trump. Her insipid feminism has brought down the Fox News Channel, which now consistently loses to CNN among the key demographic of ages 25-54. [28]
A shooting at the White House complex occurred Friday while Barack Obama was golfing. [29] Keep track of Obama's golf trips, read The Obama Golf Counter.
Liberals hold Science as a deity. "The gruesome history of left-wing scientific fakery." [30]
A cautionary note on the true test of a political candidate. [31]
Hillary Clinton's Traumatic Brain Injury. Public must see her medical records.[32]
Will Donald Trump and WorldNetDaily demand that Hillary make the medical records available to the public?
Liberals at Google celebrate a human rights activist that heaped praise upon Osama Bin Laden. [33]

Donald Trump holds a slight lead over Hillary Clinton - 45% to 42% - among registered voters, according to a new national Fox News poll.[35] What will Hillary do once the email scandal intensifies?
A small group of superdelegates could close the deal for Hillary Clinton, but won't .[36]
Catholic Cardinal from Africa speaks the truth: In America, "God is being eroded, eclipsed, liquidated." [37]
Why electing a "good" Congressman from your district is not enough. The full membership needs to change, and with strictly limited terms. [38]
America suffered a coup d'etat in 2008. Can Donald Trump roll this back? [39]
The Senate seeks answers from Facebook about their manipulation of trending stories.[40] Though the overlooked scandal is the punishment given to conservative users. [41]
Great Achievements by Teenagers in the news: 14-year-old Taylor Rosenthal received $100,000 from investors and rejected a buyout of $30 million for his emergency vending machine invention. [42]
A critical analysis of Barack Hussein Obama's policies and actions, and what they all add up to: a worldwide caliphate. [43]
A sense of meaning and purpose in life, a new study suggests Churchgoers live longer. [44]
A different view of Donald Trump: as a pragmatist whose approach the country needs just now. [45]
Liberal bias caught in the act: "Trump's former girlfriend: New York Times 'spun' my comments." [46]
Cover-up for the homosexual agenda: the NTSB delays more than a year before stating the obvious cause of the Amtrak derailment outside Philadelphia that tragically killed 8 and injured more than 200. [47] The recklessly speeding train was driven by a homosexual rights advocate who claims he can't recall key details, even though he was coherent immediately after the crash.
Ted Cruz wants "recriminations" against "everyone who was responsible for the rise of Donald Trump." [48] Is that something a real conservative would say?
A plethora of criminal cases happening in the bathrooms of Target stores nationwide. Why isn't someone holding Target criminally accountable for such cases? [49]
What are the critics of Donald J. Trump, and specifically those who call themselves conservatives, really afraid of? Losing some of their connections, maybe? [50]
Out-of-control liberals: Obama tries to force public schools to grant unlimited access by "transgenders" (boys) to enter and use girls' bathrooms. [51]
Target's CEO defense of transgender-based rights has now cost the company $5 billion in stock. Catering to 1 transgender for every 2,400 Americans is not a successful profit strategy. [52]
Biologists haggle over how "new the improved" evolutionary theory will be.[53] For years evolutionists have assured the public that the theory requires few or no emendations and now this!
The November meeting will be a capstone for 2016 which Conservapedia fully expects will be the worst year in the history of evolutionism.
The problem with Benjamin Netanyahu isn't that he concedes too little. It is that he concedes far too much, and has no real vision, nor concept of the place of Israel in God's sight. [54]
Conservapedia proven right, again: outspokenly Christian Stephen Curry -- not Overrated Sports Stars Kobe Bryant or LeBron James -- becomes the first unanimous MVP winner in NBA history. [55]
Who are the real racists of today? [56]
A new liberal media nationwide poll shows Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in a statistical tie. [57] Possibility of a Reagan-like landslide for conservatives in the fall grows.
Bernie Sanders trounces Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump tops 75%, in West Virginia. [58]
Ted Cruz is still all about Ted Cruz, as he refuses to concede to Donald Trump and even hints at jumping back into the race. [59]
"Dead heat: Trump, Clinton tied in 3 swing-state polls." The independent, reliable Quinnipiac University survey "shows close races in Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio." [60]
Former Arizona Governor "Jan Brewer: Republicans who don't support Donald Trump need to 'get over it.'" [61] A dream anti-immigration ticket would be Trump-Brewer, which she would welcome.
"Brexit could cause war? Utter nonsense, David Cameron," a fellow Brit points out. [62]
British globalist claptrap reaches new low, as David Cameron declared Monday words to the effect that "if Britain leaves the European Union (EU), war may follow"! [63] That's pathetic demagoguery to scare Brits into opposing Brexit.
Sarah Palin will campaign against Paul Ryan due to Ryan's refusal to back the GOP nominee Donald Trump. "Paul Ryan is soon to be 'Cantored,' as in Eric Cantor," Palin added. [64]
"Sanders: Dem convention tilted toward Clinton." [65] Wow, whoda guessed?
Is Benjamin Netanyahu repeating the mistakes of the French during the Second World War? [66] Indeed, a current-generation Aaliyah Jew asks: why have Prime Ministers of Israel played such cynical games? [67]
A long overdue housecleaning in the Republican Party is occurring, as RINOs show their true colors by refusing to endorse Donald Trump. Their ranks include Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush and his former-president brothers, and Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Obama, starting to panic at how Donald Trump will humiliate him, blusters that "this is not entertainment" and "this is not a reality show." [68] Yeah, and Trump doesn't need a teleprompter like Obama does.
A popular Bible-believing voice refuses to endorse any candidate, because they all pay scant attention to God. [69]
North Dakota becomes the 9th state to reject Common Core standards. [70] Academics will be "Written by North Dakota teachers … for North Dakota students."
A review of the damaging political philosophy of President Woodrow Wilson. [71]
Pathetic move by RINOs: "Bush 41, 43 won't be endorsing Trump." [72] Good news for Donald?
"Donald Trump Makes Huge Pro-Life Hire." [73]
Man does not live by bread alone, said Jesus Christ. But you wouldn't know it by the priorities in this election cycle. [74]
"Ted Cruz drops out after Trump delivers knockout in Indiana." Trump trounced Cruz 53-37% in the conservative state. [75]
Donald Trump wins the Republican primary in Indiana dealing a blow to Ted Cruz in the winner-take-most state.[76]
It is "almost impossible to stop" Trump for the nomination, CNN admits. [77]
"Once a Clinton stronghold, Appalachia now Trump country," admits the lamestream media. [78]
"Ted is an immigrant," bragged his wife Heidi Cruz, who is a Goldman Sachs executive. [79] Then the Cruz campaign denied it.
Three-year University of Cincinnati study on the ecological effects of Fracking showed no damage to the environment at all. Funders to the public university were disappointed and decided to suppress the study instead, it will not be released to the public. [80]
What is jihad? How can you recognize it on and off the battlefield? [81]
Anti-Trump gimmicks, such as the Cruz-Kasich alliance, are backfiring badly: "Fully 58 percent disapprove of the so-called Cruz-Kasich alliance, with 22 percent considering it a 'major factor' in their choice." [82]
In merely 24 hours the respected "fivethirtyeight" prediction for Indiana puts Donald Trump at a 69-31% favorite after having him at a 65-35% underdog yesterday. [83]
Don't be fooled when leftists cry "Racism!" at every turn. It means they have no better argument, against America or Israel. [84]
A reminder of the importance of natural born citizenship as a criterion of eligibility to the office of President of the United States. [85]

Republican Party bosses trying to stymie Donald Trump in Indiana.[87]
CBS news make stunning Trump announcement.[88]
Rabid anti-Trump campaign reaches new low in George Will's Sunday column: "If Trump is nominated, the GOP must keep him out of the White House," is the headline for Will's latest work. [89]
Pete who? Pete Wilson becomes the latest washed-up RINO to endorse Ted Cruz and warn against Donald Trump. [90]
"Target's Stock Down 5 Percent, Brand Damaged, by Public Rebuke to Pro-Transgender Bathroom Rules." [91]
If America continues to accept lawless behavior especially on the part of political leaders, tyranny will follow. [92]
"Demonstrators storm California GOP convention to protest Trump." [93] Did you think liberals support free speech?
Ted Cruz's choice of Carly Fiorina shows his desperation.[94][95] She is not going to help him in California and she was eliminated early in the race for the Republican nomination. Fiorina was definitely not a presidential-like choice.
John Boehner declares that Ted Cruz is "Lucifer in the flesh." [96] Boehner prefers Donald Trump over Cruz, it's safe to say.
When Presidents act like kings, in violation of the Constitution. [97]
A ringing call to Israel: act like the sovereign Jewish State you were meant to be. [98]
Exceeding expectations Tuesday, even breaking 60% of the vote despite the three-way race, Donald Trump is only 287 delegates away from clinching the Republican nomination. [99] The much-anticipated Trump-Clinton contest is on the horizon.
Donald Trump takes Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland, as he looks for Northeast sweep.[100]
UPDATE: Trump wins 5 out of 5 states by massive landslide margins.
Pennsylvania primary update: "reports of high turnout, smooth voting in midstate." [101] Donald Trump makes the GOP competitive in the state.
"Judge Ruled North Carolina's Voter-ID Law Constitutional ... delivering a major win for conservatives who have sought to tighten laws across the country" [102]
Conservapedia proven right, again: The 4-game suspension of Overrated Sports Star Tom Brady is reinstated, after an appellate judge observed at oral argument that there was "compelling, if not overwhelming" evidence of cheating, plus evidence Brady "knew about it, consented to it, encouraged it." [103] But the liberal media likes cheaters.
"Demophrenia": the scourge of a people, like Israel and even America, who have lost their faith in themselves and their righteousness. [104]
Austria's "far-right" candidate wins its presidential election by 16 points over his nearest rival, with the main political parties not even qualifying for the upcoming runoff. [105] The liberal media is speechless.
A nearly 20-point lead for Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, and that is not due to any so-called home-court advantage. [106] Working class voters overwhelmingly support Trump.
Moral relativism, the great moral scourge of our time, dates from Thomas Hobbes and his signature work. [107]
Lamestream media, again: "CNN Asks If Prince's Death Will Benefit Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump." [108]

Donald Trump defeats Ted Cruz 90-0 for delegates in the New York primary. [110] Trump could secure the nomination by winning 58% of the remaining delegates.
April 19th Anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord and the early stages of the Revolutionary War.
It's so obvious now that the political pendulum is swinging to the right in world politics that Roger Cohen declares liberalism dead or at least on the ropes in the left-leaning New York Times.[111]
By 2021 the effects of New Atheism movement may be largely over in the United States.[112]
Disney indoctrination: Lesbian kiss in 'Once upon a time' aired on Sunday. Same-sex relationships for your children's entertainment. [113]
U.N. ambassador Samantha Power's motorcade struck and killed a small boy in Cameroon. The motorcade was travelling through unsecured territory and ordered to keep moving. [114]
Donald Trump threatens 'rough July' if RNC doesn't 'straighten out' delegate system." [115] Meanwhile, the New York Post endorsed Trump today.
Hillary Clinton calls American gun owners terrorists. She represents the real problem in America today. [116]
"Cold greeting for Cruz at GOP gala." The audience was unimpressed when Cruz asserted that he had spent his "entire life fighting to defend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights." [117]
Greatest Conservative Sports Star Adam LaRoche spent his offseason undercover in Asia trying to capture sex traffickers and rescue child slaves. [118]
Outspoken Christian Stephen Curry broke Michael Jordan's record for most wins in a season, but Overrated Sports Star Kobe Bryant gets more attention. [119]
Hollywood values continues to hit new lows with award shows. MTVs two-hours worth of garbage included 84 incidents of profanity targeting your impressionable kids. [120]
Liberal double standard, again: Hillary Clinton participates in a racist joke, but most Dems give her a pass on it. [121] Imagine the backlash if a Republican had done that.
Professor values take on an ugly form at Vassar College when an infamous professor delivers a screed against Israel. Half of what she says contradicts the other half. And this is typical of Vassar. [122]
Lamestream media, again: Overrated Sports Star Tiger Woods did not even compete at the Masters this year, and yet he is in many of the articles and was even featured on the pre-tournament cover of Sports Illustrated.
Students at two Catholic universities are taking on their administrations in a fight against honoring pro-abortion advocates. [123]
Does Ted Cruz even have a vital citizenship paper he needs to show he is eligible even to the office he holds, to say nothing of the office he seeks? [124]
Russia is at it again in the Middle East, talking about "two states for two peoples." Andrei Sakharov told the world why this concept fails. What did Actor Pierce Brosnan say, about twenty years ago? Oh, yes: "Governments change, but the lies stay the same." [125]
The Republican Party has experienced an increase of 55 percent in turnout so far this primary, Democrat numbers are down 21% compared to 2008. [126]
"GOP Establishment Money Funding Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Erick Erickson To Attack Trump." [127]
The daily newspapers are dying a slow death. So it's no surprise when the transition of liberal claptrap to digital editions does not turn a profit either. [128]
When the government becomes the outlaw: several prize examples, and a reminder: the Second Amendment gives us a remedy. [129]
Liberal logic: liberal performer cancels on his liberal audience, in order to protest North Carolina's new law that protects women's restrooms against invasion by men claiming to be transgender. [130]
Setback for the homosexual agenda: "Pope Francis ... says no to gay marriage." [131]
A history of moral anesthesia in Israel, at Oslo and in Gaza. [132]

Indictments Expected Against Disgraced Mass. Chemist
In a court document, Massachusetts prosecutors say indictments are expected against a former state chemist accused of tampering with evidence in drug cases.
Annie Dookhan was charged in September with obstruction of justice and falsifying her academic credentials. An assistant attorney general said at the time that the charges were "preliminary" and that a "much broader" investigation was being conducted.
On Tuesday, a Boston Municipal Court judge granted a motion filed by state Attorney General Martha Coakley's office asking that a pretrial hearing scheduled for Dec. 3 be rescheduled to Dec. 20. In the motion, prosecutors said the continuance was being sought because "a grand jury investigation is on-going with indictments expected" after Dec. 3.
Dookhan hasn't responded to repeated requests for comment.

Well here is a base that I made for humans on UTCS.
It's like trying to take apple seeds out of a zebra to plant a giraffe tree.
Those are horrors to build. Everything is snipeable in ATCS. Everything. The best base I can think of is one in the middle base - If you place it right, only your base defenses are snipeable. However, this leaves it very easy for aliens to rest up (They just jump upstairs) and too easy for a tyrant rush. The original base for ATCS is a hell to defend because of the side corridor and long distance from armory to main entrance unless you start camping the long corridor - which is generally a bad idea. The side hatch is snipeable from either side no matter where you build, but can be do-able I suppose. Never actually tried though. If you move to the anteroom in your main original base, this can work for awhile, but is again, sniper bait, and aliens can just use your old base or hte top of the middle base to regen.
Excuse my being a newb, because I haven't seen ANY reactor moves so far, but on Tremor, has anyone thought of moving the humans downstairs? Humans can go in and out by 3 ladders, I'm pretty sure that aliens can't climb up (I've tried it wall-walking as a dretch. not fun.) Haven't seen it anywhere so far, so I have no idea whether or not it would help. Plus it should confuse the aliens a lot.
I love Tremor when I'm humans, because the aliens are usually made up of retards who ove their base to the box room in s1. The grangers cannot climb, so eggs and OM are easy to kill, acid tubes are pointless. Although I must admit I have seen aliens s3 use it effectively at times, but humans buildin downstairs. Well I think 'downstairs, is just for getting around easier, building a base there is really gay because it is easy to snipe!
how about atcs bases
spam spam spam, waste waste waste!
Are they cool names like WarriorSlug, ScoutSlug, SlugSlug, etc.? I think the names of the slugs are important and should convey 'Hey I'm a Slug that does X function and none of the other slugs do that, so please don't do my job because I'm X slug.'
First of all the worste place for the human base is in the U shaped hallway. It's a pathetic move and EASILY sniped from both sides. Now the best spot on that map is the in the junction on the pipes outside the box room. It's not an easy move but I have never seen it fail once it was up. Can't remember who started that one but it's Tyrant proof which helps a great deal to start with. Anyplace around the human default base is not a really great area if there is any feeding going on. Now if there is nearly zero feeding, under the stairs or upstairs is a fine place but that's not an event that happens all too often.
Don't look at me! GO! SPAM EGGS.
Oooooohoho how we can argue about this one...
