Simulating the ChromaDepth Eect for CMYK-based Print Media

Chromastereoscopy makes use of special glasses to make its wearer see two slightly different images, one for each eye. With a properly created image this results in perceived depth. It does this by bending light dependent on its wavelength and in the opposite direction for each eye. When a ChromaDepth image is properly created most viewers...

Using Genetic Algorithms for Underground Stope Design Optimization in Mining: A Stochastic Analysis

Mine design and mine planning are essential to a mining operation as they do not only dictate the outline of the mine, but essentially determine the financial robustness and success of the mining operation. However, as mining is a conservative business mine design is still mostly done by hand. To indicate the effect of uncertainty in mine design...
