• Research study on testing engineering and scientific software

    Updated: 2011-01-27 16:04:03
    I have posted here several times about MATLAB xUnit, the unit testing framework that I contributed to the MATLAB Central File Exchange. Now I am collaborating with Prof. Diane Kelly (Royal Military College, kelly-d@rmc.ca) and Prof. Greg Wilson (University of Toronto, gvwilson@cs.utoronto.ca) on a study to explore how engineers and scientists test their software, and [...]

    Today I return to examining this picture of M&Ms:url = 'http://blogs.mathworks.com/images/steve/2010/mms.jpg'; rgb = imread(url); imshow(rgb) Previously I showed how to convert pixel colors to the L*a*b* space and how to compute a two-dimensional histogram of the a* and b* color components: Now I want to [...]

  • Feature AND

    "Why do you have M&Ms on your desk?" my friend Nausheen wanted to know. Well, the truth is, for playing around with color images, M&Ms are simply irresistable. url = 'http://blogs.mathworks.com/images/steve/2010/mms.jpg'; rgb = imread(url); imshow(rgb) I can think a few different things we could try with this [...]

  • MATLAB Documentation Center search

    Updated: 2010-12-09 16:07:12
    I really like the search feature in the new (beta version) MATLAB Documentation Center. (You need a mathworks.com login to access the beta doc center.) I wanted quicker access to it, so I made myself a Firefox "keyword" bookmark. Now I can get there by just typing a keyword and a search term in the Firefox [...]
