Doug’s MATLAB Video Tutorials

Modeling your Mom’s head with MATLAB

I frequent Twitter as MATLABDoug. You can check there for daily MATLAB tips in 140 characters or less, blog post announcements and other things that I find interesting.

While reading the stream of Tweets about MATLAB I found this little gem of a tweet: How to convert your Mom’s head into a 3-d model on Instructables.

This video on Instructables.com is good at showing the setup for the experiment, but does not show much about how the processing was done. They do make the MATLAB script available if you want to do this yourself. Worthy of a watch.

Do you have any fabulous uses of MATLAB that you would like to share with the world?

    Hello Doug,

    Thanks for posting this, I had never heard of Instructables.
    Seems like a site worth checking out (and maybe even contributing to on occasion!).

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
