Yesterday Microsoft Research announced the winners of the 2007 academic research grants. Here is the press release about the program, for which over a million dollars was awarded to researches?in 2 broad areas -??Real time/real world data acquisition in SensorMap?and digital geography, 3D graphics, and computer vision in applications related to terrain and cityscapes.?
A very sincere congratulations to the winners, who you can meet here and review their proposals. I was one of the reviewers of the submissions and can honestly say it was very humbling reading all of the brilliant?proposals and having to choose the best of the best. There were no duds among them, each attempting to tackle some very difficult problems.
On a different subject completely, here's my favorite birds eye shot of the week at BET - a fantastic shot of a jet very low over a residential neighborhood.
