Oh, really interesting. Important updates on Darwin! So, apparently, it is possible to create Darwin on ARM. And this is particularly helpful because it indicates that you can cross build such a system without an existing Mac OS X. That’s what we want.
Oh yeah, and I created lots of links of various disputes on the Talk page on the Wikipedia article on Darwin.
Oh, and a link to the closure of the Darwin project. Is it really true that it failed? Or is that just what the administrators say because they didn’t meet their personal goals?

This is unfortunate. Lavabit got closed down because the FBI demanded that they have the private encryption keys, yet the owner refused to give them full-access to all the accounts. This was merely to chase evidence after Edward Snowden. So, rather than complying, the site owner decided to shut down.

Okay, okay, time to learn what kind of DSLR camera I can use that is compatible with my existing lenses. Is the lens mount system particular to Pentax cameras? I thought advanced features are, but the basic features are compatible.
By the way, it turns out that Pentax was a first to a lot of things. Mattere of fact, Pentax was Japan’s first SLR camera brand.

- Renote. Again, I reiterate, because this is important! I searched for this and found it, that means it’s important! Pentax K-mount.

So yes, for advanced features, Pentax uses its own lens mount that is incompatible with those used by Nikon and Canon. In particular, my lenses use the Pentax K_A mount.
Ah, and the article above just said that Pentax lenses are on the rise in popularity due to rising popularity of the corresponding DSLR. Likewise with Samsung.
Okay, so now we have some rather interesting ideas to integrate with how we design our 3D scanner.
First of all, just to get the quick one out of the way, our naming for our “offset map.” To make this more of a coherent metaphor with the photography profession, we can call this “circles of confusion.” After all, that is what we call the artifacts seen in photographs that are out of focus. Anyways, yes, the map that shows the size of the same-time-colored dot in relation to the position of the pixel.
Second, on thresholding. In addition to recording the ambient light photograph to compare against for thresholding laser light, we can also use the color of the pixel in the ambient light map to determine the reflectivity of the material at that point to the laser light. For example, bright red or white will be very reflective to our red laser light, while blue surfaces are going to need more sensitive thresholding. So in the case of the bright red or white surfaces, we can adjust our algorithms to use the least sensitive thresholding, or the highest thresholding in other words. The purpose of this is to reduce our margin of error in detecting whether a pixel is very closest to the center of our laser, thus opting for the minimum “circle of confusion” and getting the highest resolution.
Okay, now this is interesting. Why clay modeling persists… and why 3D scanning is important.

Important! Notes on using cpio.
find ARCH-DIR -depth | cpio -oV -H ustar > backup.tar
cpio -idmV < ../backup.tar
Let’s explain how this works. -H selects the format. You almost
always wnat to use this to avoid using an old and obsolete format.
Using tar may be convenient because it allows for interoperability
with tar. -depth is necessary so that directories are written
last. This is to preserve their modification times on the copy-out.
But then -d is needed for this to work on copy-out. -m is used to
preserve modification times on copy-out. And -V is an alternative
for -v depending on what kinds of screen displays you like to see.
“Why not just use tar”? you ask. Well, because as described above, in
relation to directories and the -depth option, tar-archives don’t
work as well with cpio, but the reverse works just fine. Hence, it
is a matter of maximizing interoperability.
But, beware, -V is not available in BSD cpio.
