Description/Abstract

We present stereoscopic images of an Earth‐impacting Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). The CME was imaged by the Heliospheric Imagers onboard the twin STEREO spacecraft during December 2008. The apparent acceleration of the CME is used to provide independent estimates of its speed and direction from the two spacecraft. Three distinct signatures within the CME were all found to be closely Earth‐directed. At the time that the CME was predicted to pass the ACE spacecraft, in‐situ observations contained a typical CME signature. At Earth, ground‐based magnetometer observations showed a small but widespread sudden response to the compression of the geomagnetic cavity at CME impact. In this case, STEREO could have given warning of CME impact at least 24 hours in advance. These stereoscopic observations represent a significant milestone for the STEREO mission and have significant potential for improving operational space weather forecasting.

Paper Numbering: Proceedings of SPIE follow an e-First publication model, with papers published first online and then in print and on CD-ROM. Papers are published as they are submitted and meet publication criteria. A unique, consistent, permanent citation identifier (CID) number is assigned to each article at the time of the first publication. Utilization of CIDs allows articles to be fully citable as soon they are published online, and connects the same identifier to all online, print, and electronic versions of the publication. SPIE uses a six-digit CID article numbering system in which:

  • The first four digits correspond to the SPIE volume number.
  • The last two digits indicate publication order within the volume using a Base 36 numbering system
  • employing both numerals and letters. These two-number sets start with 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B … 0Z, followed by 10-1Z, 20-2Z, etc.
The CID number appears on each page of the manuscript. The complete citation is used on the first page, and an abbreviated version on subsequent pages. Numbers in the index correspond to the last two digits of the six-digit CID number.

Cineform Neo HD features new 3D Editing features






Just installed a 15 day trial of Cineform Neo HD (http://www.cineform.com/neohd) for my two year old Macbook Pro with Final Cut Pro. It runs! Cineform performs a really nice workflow for FCP users by using active metadata by multiplexing (mux'ing) stereo pairs into single quicktime files for editing in FCP. Clever! Anyone who has edited using the FCP 3D StereoToolbox plug-in will tell you how annoying it is to keep seeing your clips come unrendered each time you change/move it in the timeline. For editing a complicated film or documentary with lots of clips and in lots of different formats, the Cineform solution offers a sensical opportunity for Non Linear Editing (NLE's).

My Macbook spec is the very minimum requirement (2.6Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB Ram) which is just enough to use ReMaster (this conforms my AVCHD files into Cineform Codec), as well as running FirstLight which lets you apply 3D adjustments such as convergence parameters to your clips in lots of different 3D viewing modes such as side-by-side and anaglyph to name but a few.

The Mac version of this latest V.5 only supports passive 3DTV's, though the Windows version of Cineform's 3D editing software allows for compatibility with active shutter 3DTV's. There seem to be a lot more active shutter 3DTV's on the shop stores these days. With the cost-effective passive glasses vs the more expensive active shutter glasses debate ongoing, it is interesting that stores are stocking more active shutter based systems. I digress!!!...

Neo HD is around $500 which is great for a good 3D post-production workflow on NLE's (and now works with AVID, as well as FCP and Adobe Premier/AE).




The more expensive Neo 3D (around £1900 - http://www.cineform.com/neo3d) gives you a lot more control over 3D settings plus dual link stereo playout on Mac using a Kona 3 card which will allow direct playout from your FCP timeline via SDI/HDI letting you run projection systems such as RealD, Dolby and XpanD, as well as recording in stereo mode to HDCAM SR.

Shooting S3D on my dual Sony 105-CX/AVR Lanc/parallel rig which produces AVCHD format .mts files, Cineform's Neo HD reads these files direct from the Pro Duo Cards so I don't have to import through FCP, just through ReMaster.

This I like!

No render time in the FCP timeline of the 3D stereo pair Mux'd quicktimes either once you have used ReMaster and FirstLight to make your 3D Quicktimes.

This I really like!

My first test has been a doddle so far. More on that when I'm finished...

My first impression:

If you're just starting out in S3D and using HD files NOT 2K or 4K files, I really recommend Neo HD. It's a really nice uncomplicated workflow. Well done Cineform. Will definitely purchase this when my 15 Day trial is up. Until then, I'm going to keep shooting and mux'ing...
bring on Glastonbury 3D!

I will blog my test results and conclusions for this new 3D editing workflow based on my dual Sony 105-CX AVC HD workflow in the next days.

Point and shoot Stereo 3D Camera


Personal Thoughts:

I can't believe this camera has come to market already.


The camera's technology is based on that which was developed by the Dutch company cosine for the European Space Agency and is used successfully on board the International Space Station.



Wow! Can't imagine what this looks like in 3D on a huge IMAX screen...

This is what good 3D cinematography is all about:

the opportunity upon seeing the world in unique ways...


this shows just how a unique story or unique subject matter can open up creative doors in the world of stereoscopy. Unique Subject Matter - USM? Can I patent that like USP?!?


LoL


Really looking forward to seeing more 3D footage come from the International Space Station in the future using this 3D camera technology.


I will post more footage as and when I find some.


Cosine look like an exciting and innovative company vis-a-vis the technologies and systems it produces in the field of applied physics, as it seems as though 3D imaging is just one of the many technologies they are involved with.

S3D - CP31 Point and shoot 3D Cam

With the Panasonic 3D cam still at the prototype level, this camera has become available to market: http://www.3D-one.com

It is a lot more expensive than the proposed $21,000 price of the Panasonic but is available all the same. It can also be rented. Has anyone experience or footage taken from this camera? Can you rent from the UK?

Prices for this available 3D Cam :

Source: http://kalynda-n-haaf.blogspot.com/2010/02/3d-one-answer.html

The CP20/30 as well as CC20/CC30 were our first generation of real stereo 3D camcorders.
Now it is time to start with the second generation: The CP31 which will come on the market end of March beginning of April 2010.

The CP31 will replace the current CC/CP line up. It will offer a lot of improvements and enhanced features, which were implemented based on the valuable feedback of our customers.

These are the prices for the current cameras sets. Every set contains the camera, a power supply for charging the batteries, a car charging cable and a manual.
