Photographing from the top of the Tower at night brought with it some technical implications for my photos. Rooftopping will never be my style of photography, but I can see why some people find it so exhilarating. I will admit readily that I am the type of person who would rather visit a national park than a major city any day, but this experience in Paris struck a chord with me. However, there is no time limit for your stay at the top of the Eiffel Tower (aside from closing time), so there is nothing wrong with taking the time to soak in the wonderful atmosphere of the place. It can be overwhelming at first for a photographer to see such a beautiful sight. It didn’t take long for the buildings below to light up in wonderful, intricate patterns. As the sky darkens, the city of Paris begins to grow brighter. I made sure to stay at the Eiffel Tower for sunset. The highest of these three is near the very top, and it was there that I found the most inspiring views. There are three primary levels of viewing platforms on the Eiffel Tower. When you come to a stop (after stepping past the fifteen-foot tall gears that turn the elevator’s cable), the view you see is maddeningly beautiful. Riding the elevator to the top is an experience in and of itself - as you fly through the Tower’s metallic skeleton, you start to see flashes of the city shrinking below you. If you ever have the chance to visit Paris, one of the absolute highlights is, of course, the Eiffel Tower. The Cat in the Hat is a 6ft tall anthropomorphic cat from the book and film of the same name. Interestingly, the show was inspired by The Phil Silvers Show and Top Cat himself was loosely based on Sergeant Bilko, a crafty con man from the show. They were experts at evading Officer Charlie Dibble, a cop that tried to evict them from the alley. Top Cat is a well-loved famous cartoon cat, but did you know that the animated TV show only ran from 1961–1962? The show followed the gang The Manhattan Alley Cats and their yellow tabby leader, Top Cat, whilst they carried out frequent get-rich-quick schemes. This famous cartoon cat talks with a lisp and one of his most famous catchphrases is “sufferin’ succotash”. You have probably heard the line “I tawt I taw a puddy tat.” The source of this famous catchprase? Tweety, the cute yellow canary who is forever chased by Sylvester. Felix was so popular that another TV series was created in the mid to late 90s. Originally a silent film star, Felix the Cat took to the TV screen in the 1950s, making him one of the oldest cartoon cats! He’s known for his magic bag of tricks - a satchel that can change into any shape and possess the characteristics of anything he wants. The grey and white cat rarely speaks (other than the odd yelp here and there) and it’s a common misbelief that Tom wants to eat Jerry - he actually just wants to compete with him! 3. Tom and his rivalry with Jerry the mouse is infamous, particularly his setting of traps that always seem to backfire. He started off his career as a comic strip, but he’s become so popular he’s even had his own animated show and movies too. Known for his lazy, lasagne-loving persona, Garfield loves to tease his dog Odie and antagonise his owner Jon. Garfield – Garfield and FriendsĪ list of famous cartoon cats wouldn’t be complete without mentioning this orange tabby with attitude. We’re sure you’ll recognise a face or two! 14 famous cartoon catsįrom the original famous cartoon cat, Felix the Cat, to everyone’s favourite lasagne-loving moggie, Garfield, here’s our favourite animated kitties: 1. Here’s the list of our 14 favourite famous cartoon cats from comic books, films and TV shows. But this love of felines isn’t just a new fad - prior to the internet craze there were (and still are!) a number of famous cartoon cats that stole the show. Cats are one of the internet’s favourite creatures and you can’t scroll through social media these days without seeing a whiskered face looking back at you. Also, Redshift scales very well with multiple GPUs and can significantly improve your render times. This means that the graphic cards (or GPUs) in your system impact how long the renders take to complete. Why choose us for your Redshift projects? You can even run multiple machines simultaneously to speed up the renders, not having to re-install anything, either. Furthermore, we provide useful features to help you switch among the server packages without having to reinstall anything. With a range of multiple GPU servers (2/4/6/8x RTX 3090), you can choose the one that meets your need to start the rendering. Therefore, you can customize your creative working environment as you wish. Using our service, you have complete control and flexibility over the server(s) you operate. We provide high-configuration servers (machines) that are specifically configured and optimized for GPU rendering. CGDirector, Lumion Official, Radarrender, InspirationTuts CAD, All3DP, BlenderBaseCamp, VFX Rendering. We are appreciated in many global rankings (e.g. IRender is proud to be a professional GPU Accelerated Cloud Rendering Service provider for 3D Render, CGI, and VFX tasks with more than 30,000 clients. Because of this, the default denoise overhead for bucket rendering (where lag is less important and rendering efficiency is more important) is 10%, and for progressive rendering ((where the opposite is true), it is 100%. The disadvantage is that since OptiX is only done once every few passes (in progressive mode) or once every few buckets (in bucket rendering), there may be some “visual latency” that is apparent. Lower “overhead” settings will speed up OptiX processing, which is an advantage.The “denoise overhead” functionality only provides an estimate as a result, it cannot guarantee that OptiX will take precisely the specified percentage of the frame time.When the setting is zero, it tells Redshift to do OptiX-denoise only once at the end of the render. When set to 100, it will be executed after every single pass or bucket. A setting of 10 means that “execute OptiX as often as needed, but ensure that it doesn’t take more than 10% of the entire frame time”. These options determine how frequently OptiX is executed. As a result, Redshift has a “denoise overhead” setting for progressive and bucket rendering. This is especially true when you render large-res images in bucket rendering mode since Redshift render denoises the entire frame after each bucket. Nevertheless, it can “take away” a portion of the render time for the frame despite its speed. It’s crucial to follow this process while rendering animations. To put it another way, you should continue to adjust their settings for an “acceptable” level of noise before using denoising to create the ideal frame. In animations, noise may appear as unattractive (ugly) ‘flickering splotches”, causing more visually distracting than the initial noise!įor the reasons listed above, we suggest that you should only employ denoising to remove “the remaining few percent” of noise.In OptiX, these artifacts may look like brush paint strokes It might result in weird visual artifacts.It may “over smooth” some certain parts of the image, thus significantly reduce detail, especially in textures and small geometry details.Noise will still be there after denoising) It’s possible that the denoise does not sufficiently remove all noise from the image (i.e.It may fail in a number of different ways as below: If the rendered image is excessively noisy, denoising may not work properly. Sometimes, can’t detect noise as noise since it hasn’t been trained with that particular case.ĭenoising is a useful tool, but it’s not perfect. It’s impossible to use in an interactive fashion. It’s possible to use in interactive rendering while editing the sceneĭenoising takes several seconds to compute. NVidia’s OptiX AI denoiser uses a deep learning algorithm trained with tens of thousands of images.Įach of these two denoisers has its pros and cons:.
During this period, slaves captured on raids were sent north to Mali or south to the Atlantic coast, whence they were shipped to the Americas, especially Brazil. The Mossi integrated with the essentially farming ethnic groups they conquered, incorporating many of their religious practices. Their further spread was limited by sleeping sickness, which affected the horses. the Mossi invaded the area on horseback and occupied the plateau in the center of the country. There are remains of high walls in the southwest (as well as in Côte d'Ivoire). The use of iron, ceramics, and polished stone developed between 15 B.C.E. Agricultural settlements appeared between 36 B.C.E. Like all of Western Africa, Burkina Faso was populated early, notably by hunter-gatherers in the northwestern part of the country (12,000 to 5,000 B.C.E.).

If someone has bet before you and your poker hand isn’t particularly strong, it’s probably best to just fold and wait until the next game. This is called a “check”.įold: You have to know when to hold ‘em, and know when to fold ‘em, as they say. If you choose to raise the stakes, it’s typically best to have a hand that you think is better than everyone else’s (unless you want to just “bluff” and pretend that you do in order to get your opponents to fold!).Ĭheck: If no other poker player has bet yet and it is your turn, you can decline to bet as well, passing it along to the next person or poker round. Raise: If another player has bet before you, you have the option to bet more than the amount of that player.

A) Learn poker vocabulary!įrom blinds to buttons, flops to folds, and deals to draws, there are about a dozen terms that’ll improve your odds of success on the poker table. The lowest value is a “high card” where the strength of your hand is simply the highest card you have been dealt (ex. 10,J,Q,K,A), followed by three of a kind (ex. The next highest-ranking poker hand is a straight: when all five of your cards are in the same numerical order (ex. After that comes a flush, which is when your hand consists of five cards that are all the same suit. The next best hand is four of a kind (for example, 4 aces), followed by a full house, which is three of a kind plus a pair (for example, three Aces and two Kings). You have a royal flush when your best five-card hand consists of an Ace, King, Queen Jack and a 10 card, all in a single suit. The highest value hand in poker is typically a royal flush.

If the data points follow the straight line, the distribution fits. Probability plots are a great way to visually identify the distribution that your data follow. We identified this distribution by looking at the table in the Session window, but Minitab also creates a series of graphs that provide most of the same information along with probability plots. Given the higher p-value and significant LRT P value, we can pick the 3-Parameter Weibull distribution as the best fit for our data. For the 3-Parameter Weibull, the LRT P is significant (0.000), which means that the third parameter significantly improves the fit. The highest p-value is for 3-Parameter Weibull. We'll skip the two transformations (Box-Cox and Johnson) because we want to identify the native distribution rather than transform it.Ī good place to start is to skim through the p-values and look for the highest. The very first line shows our data are definitely not normally distributed, because the p-value for Normal is less than 0.005! We’ll start with the Goodness of Fit Test table below. So, for my data, I’ll fill out the main dialog like this: A higher value suggests that you may want to stick with the 2-Parameter version. LRT P: For 3-parameter distributions only, a low value indicates that adding the third parameter is a significant improvement over the 2-Parameter version. For some 3-parameter distributions, the p-value is impossible to calculate and is represented by asterisks. A low p-value (e.g., < 0.05) indicates that the data don’t follow that distribution. It’s generally valid to compare p-values between distributions and go with the highest. However, to compare how well different distributions fit the data, you should assess the p-value, as described below. Before we walk through the output, there are 3 measures you need to know.Īnderson-Darling statistic (AD): Lower AD values indicate a better fit. It produces a lot of output both in the Session window and graphs, but don't be intimidated. This handy tool allows you to easily compare how well your data fit 16 different distributions. To identify the distribution, we’ll go to Stat > Quality Tools > Individual Distribution Identification in Minitab. What can be done to increase the usefulness of these data? First, identify the distribution that your data follow. Once you do that, you can learn things about the population-and you can create some cool-looking graphs! How to Identify the Distribution of Your Data You can’t make any inferences about the larger population. However, this graph only tells us about the data from this specific example. We can see that this distribution is skewed to the right and probably non-normal. This histogram does show us the shape of the sample data and it is a good starting point. We could simply plot the raw, sample data in a histogram like this one: You can download this data here if you want to follow along. To illustrate this process, I’ll look at the body fat percentage data from my previous post about using regression analysis for prediction. Reap the benefits of the identification ( next post).Use Minitab Statistical Software to identify the distribution of your data (this post).So, non-normal data is actually typical in some areas.įear not if you can shine the light on something and identify it, it makes it less scary. These natural limits produce skewed distributions that extend away from the natural limit. Or drill hole sizes that cannot be smaller than the drill bit. Natural limits include things like purity, which can’t exceed 100%. The output of many processes often have natural limits on one side of the distribution. This is particularly true for quality process improvement analysts, because a lot of their data is skewed (non-symmetric). How to understand and present the practical implications of your non-normal distribution in an easy-to-understand manner is an ongoing challenge for analysts. However, it's a fact of life that not all data follow the Normal distribution. Hey, a lot of stuff is just abnormal.er.non-normally distributed. It is not as intuitive to understand a Gamma distribution, with its shape and scale parameters, as it is to understand the familiar Normal distribution with its mean and standard deviation. However, many people are more comfortable with the symmetric, bell-shaped curve of a normal distribution. I love all data, whether it’s normally distributed or downright bizarre. |
