		<title>Marching Cubes implementation using OpenCL and OpenGL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a school project I recently created a fast implementation of Marching Cubes that uses OpenCL to extract surfaces from volumetric datasets and OpenGL to render the surfaces on screen. I wrote a paper together with my two supervisors about the implementation and presented it at the Joint Workshop  [...]]]></description>

		<title>OpenCL C++ Utilities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently created a small utility library for OpenCL with C++. It consists of a set of function based on the OpenCL C++ bindings to help set up an OpenCL context, compiling OpenCL code and viewing error functions. I hope these functions can be useful for others and I&#8217;m planning on adding more  [...]]]></description>

		<title>3D Gradient Vector Flow Matlab Implementation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) is a feature-preserving diffusion of gradient information. It was originally introduced by Xu and Prince to drive snakes, or active contours, towards edges of interest in image segmentation. But GVF is also used for detection of tubular structures and skeletonization. In  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using the C++ bindings for OpenCL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ While the OpenCL API is written in C, the OpenCL 1.1 specification also comes with a specification for C++ bindings. In this post I go through how to use the C++ bindings instead of C for the simple example of vector addition from my previous post Getting started with OpenCL and GPU  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Boltzmann machine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The neural network discussed in this post, called the Boltzmann machine, is a stochastic and recurrent network. This post contains my exam notes for the course TDT4270 Statistical image analysis and learning and explains the network&#8217;s properties, activation and learning algorithm.

		<title>Getting started with OpenCL and GPU Computing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a new framework for writing programs that execute in parallel on different compute devices (such as CPUs and GPUs) from different vendors (AMD, Intel, ATI, Nvidia etc.). The framework defines a language to write &#8220;kernels&#8221; in. These kernels are the functions  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making charts and output them as images to the browser in Django</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Lets say you are working on a website made in Django. And you want to make some nice looking graphs real time, as images from dynamic data. This can be done by using the python 2D graph library matplotlib. The library can be found in the debian package python-matplotlib. A simple graph showing a  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Competitive and cooperative interactions in biological inspired AI</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this essay, written as my final essay in the course IT3708 spring 2010, I discuss two phenomenas that are the driving forces for a lot of the complex biological systems in nature with several simple components that interact with each other. These two phenomenas are competition and cooperation. I  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gjenskapingen av Hamar domkirke &#8211; Del 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Da var faget Eksperter i Team over og jeg og resten av gruppa mi er stolte over å presentere resultatet av vårt arbeid. Som sagt i et tidligere blogginnlegg gikk oppgaven vår ut på å gjenskape Hamar domkirke i virtuell virkelighet. I den sammenheng har vi laget en film over gamle Hamar domkirke som  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gjenskapingen av Hamar domkirke &#8211; Del 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I det obligatoriske faget Eksperter i Team har jeg og en gruppe på 3 andre valgt oppgaven med å gjenskape Hamar domkirke i virtuell virkelighet. Det vil si at vi skal modellere den i 3D på datamaskiner og så plassere den i et 3D landskap. Kirken ble bygget rundt år 1200 og ble rasert i 1567 av  [...]]]></description>
