Coconut Tiramisu
I have been making this recipe for forever and decided I would finally write it down. At the core, it is based upon a traditional recipe from italiannotes.com which no longer exists, so I’ve adapted it from whatsgabycooking.com and sallysbakingaddiction.com. There are a lot of ways you can get fancy with the recipe- when I…

Calibration Woes – Spatial Alignment of Systems
A few years ago, I read a blog post from the International Women in Biomechanics group, by Katie Bradley. I can’t seem to find it on their new website since they moved hosts, but the original post remains in my bookmarks and in my memory- accessible here for now: link. In it, Katie writes about…

Things Fall Apart – The Cost of Broken Calibration Assumptions
If you haven’t already, definitely give “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe a read. It isn’t at all to do with metrology, but damn is it powerful. And, like Okonkwo, our world too can fall apart when the assumptions and values holding it all together fail. In the last post, we talked about calibrating extrinsics:…

Calibration- “every orientation presupposes a disorientation”
To kick off this week’s post, I’d first like to wax poetic about a pithy I once heard that really resonated with me. Ill-remembered and simplified, it was something like this: “to know where you’re going, you first need to know where you are”. Now, there’s more quotes than need be analyzed that say something…

Photogrammetry- the roots of motion analysis
In the world of biomechanics, motion capture is often an invaluable tool researchers and clinicians use to gather data and make decisions. Clinically, hours of physical examinations and various medical imaging methods are often capped off with a functional exam utilizing a motion capture system. Data from all of these sources are pooled together, and…
