Codejam problems are sometimes very similar to real life problems. The watershed, for example, is used in image segmentation. I came across this the day after Code jam, when we had a seminar on image segmentation. Apparently, some projects in IITK for MRI scans are using this powerful technique, to identify blood cells. Since a scan contains 1000 of layers, that is 1000 matrices each of 1024x768 resolution, CUDA is being used to run the algorithm. It was exciting to find the problem being discussed and seeing various methods and forms of that problem being tackled.
Codejam was ofcourse really exciting, I just hope that my watershed large had not failed :( regards Geekru2 -- [Geekru2] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "google-codejam" group.
