Gents,

Calculating round in circles, Blaise Pascal.

In post 16 and 20 I did show my used principle, laser beaming, to project a lot of remarkable points of the Oldest Taurus on Earth. visible on the crate picture (also 3D!). on the building drawings.

The make accurate calculations it is important to know exact location of the POV, the position of the camera that was used to make the picture.
For the calculations there are several methods, using of silhouettes of several pictures (Simla), triangulation of remarkable points (Crate picture) and study of surface texture to reconstruct curved surfaces.
I did do a new second check of the POV of the crate on the crate picture and also did calculate the real dimensions of the crate, you never know! See picture 1.

And Blaise?

Blaise Pascal (1623 – 1662) was a very influential French mathematician and philosopher who contributed to many areas of mathematics so for that of course he is also related with this project. I did show the name before, fuel tank layout and fuel pressure:

It is interesting to read about Pascal’s projective geometry and the Pascaline calculator (Google), I prefer my HP 41 CV and HP 42 S and do not need the projective geometry but much more of trigonometry

More to come.
