scanning the YCAM library. this is my first attempt at 3d scanning a very large space, and i haven't correctly accounted for the extrinsics yet -- i just guessed approximately.
i tried accounting for the distortion coefficients, but somehow that introduced more distortion, so i have to fix that too.
this is all part of my research at the YCAM interlab: github.com/YCAMInterlab/ProCamToolkit

Description of work : Located between the Vistula River and the Warsaw Escarpment on a culturally and ecologically significant site, the library's design is based on a "city in the woods" concept and was the winning entry of the 1993 design competition for the building. The library is built within the existing topography of the landscape (two levels below grade and two levels above grade) and is constructed of reinforced concrete, steel, glass, and pre-patinated copper. The building's 5,000 square meter green roof is watered by a stormwater irrigation system and contains four thematic gardens, each of which is surrounded by massive skylights and connected by steel bridges. The roof gardens provide expansive views of the city and are integrated into the adjacent University Public Garden by grand staircases and linear water channels. "The library's interior is divided both functionally and physically by a glass enclosed street arcade, which serves to separate and connect the library stacks andleased commercial space.The copper facade along Dobra Street displays eight [4x7 meter] copper tablets containing six different alphabets, mathematical and chemical equations and musical and literary concepts."

El Dorado's first library was built in 1912 from locally quarried hand-cut, native white limestone. Topped with the Spanish tiled roof, the library was funded in part by Andrew Carnegie. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building is now privately owned with no public access, but it remains as a historic piece of distinguished architecture located across the street from the equally distinquished Court House built in 1909.
A new library was built in 1959 to accommodate the growth of public use of the library facilities. The Bradford Memorial Library was built with a donation by Mrs. Ruth Bradford as a memorial to her husband, Robert H. Bradford. The new library is located at 611 S. Washington.
On June 2, 2011 Lubuto Library Project introduced its innovative LubutoLiteracy program, which teaches reading with 100 computer-based reading lessons in each of the seven major Zambian languages, a total of 700 reading lessons, based on the Zambia government curriculum.
Zambian youth earned school fees for creating the Etoys lessons on the OLPC laptops, working with Zambian teachers. Young artists from the LubutoArts program also earned school fees by illustrating the lessons with computer graphics.
The Ministry of Education was represented at the launch by the Acting Chief Curriculum Specialist, Mr. B.M. Mwendende, standing in for the Permanent Secretary. U.S. Ambassador Mark Storella also made remarks at the event.
LubutoLiteracy was supported by a grant from the EIFL Public Library Innovation Program, and was made possible with strong support from the Ministry of Education. The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Foundation donated six XO 1.5 laptops. The Etoys-based lessons will run on any computer platform and can supplement classroom instruction as well as teaching out-of-school children in Lubuto Libraries.
Notes : the library interior at the Winter opening. The mural shows William Caxton (c. 1422 – c. 1491) English merchant, diplomat and writer; thought to be the first person to introduce a printing press into England in 1476, and as a printer to be the first English retailer of printed books.
"LIBRARY CENTRE AT KATOOMBA
After the Minister for Education, Mr. Evatt, had opened the Katoomba Boys' and Girls' Library and Crafts Club on Saturday afternoon, children stayed to read books beside the library fire. The club, which is the eighth centre of the Children's Library Movement, is built from six disused garages, which have been converted into one central library, opening into two craft rooms on either side. It features murals designed by Dahl Collings and Elaine Haxton. Those present at the opening included the president of the local auxiliary, Dr. E. Dark, and Mrs. Eleanor Dark; the Mayor of Katoomba, Alderman Freelander, and the organising secretary of the Children's Library Movement, Mrs. Mary Matheson"

Evening Post collection, Alexander Turnbull Library, Reference: PAColl-5482-038
Published in the Wellingtonian 2 September 2010
This year is the ninetieth anniversary of the opening of the Alexander Turnbull Library. Here is the original Library building on Bowen Street, glimpsed from an unusual view, through demolition rubble at the bottom end of Lambton Quay.
The house had been built in 1916 for the Wellington businessman and collector, Alexander Horsburgh Turnbull. He died soon after, leaving his remarkable collection of books, manuscripts, artworks and other documentary treasures to the nation.
The house is still there, a protected heritage building, and the occasional tourist still wanders in, wondering where the books are. But the Turnbull Library has long outgrown its original home and is now part of the National Library on Molesworth Street. At the moment the Molesworth Street building is being refurbished and the Turnbull is operating from temporary premises on Thorndon Quay and from the Archives New Zealand building on Mulgrave Street. The Molesworth Street building will reopen, better than ever, in early 2012.
The demolition was to make room for a realigned Bowen Street, so that the grand new World War I Centotaph could be built where the Bowen Street intersection used to be.

The British Library has a wonderful "Treasures" collection of literary pieces. They range from different illustrations of Alice in Wonderland, the original Magna Carta, original various religious texts, Di Vinci's notes, and artifacts. Since no cameras were allowed I decided to sketch Jane Austen's writing desk for you.
