Accelerate Rendering
- Advanced Rendering Techniques: Various demos and articles including techniques how to speed up your rendering. There are also provided demos that compare the efficiency of strips, display lists, vertex arrays e.t.c.
- Creating Efficient Triangle Strips: The source code is implemented in C++ and it is easily adaptable. I tried the code in a 3D model derived from CT bronchial tree's images. The original mesh had 24767 vertices and 46308 triangles. The strip code produced 6367 strips and the total number of vertices sent to the renderer was equal to 59042. So I got an improvement of 2.35 in rendering speed.
- Stripe Homepage: Strip code, papers and e.t.c.(Implemented in C). I used the same mesh as above and the produced stripes send 66714 vertices to the renderer.

Camera Calibration
- Camera Calibration Toolbox for Matlab:
Calibration of both stereo system and single camera. Efficient &
Robust toolbox, easily imported in matlab with relatively friendly
interface (semi-automatic corner extraction). A function to undistort
selected images is also provided. A brief overview of the basic
concepts behind the camera calibration procedure is provided here: (11KB)-Calibration.pdf
