Creating Animated 3D Objects with MATLAB

Ever since the introduction of electronic devices with touch controls, interactive 3D graphics objects have become increasingly popular in multimedia electronic books (ebooks). The Lidar Toolbox and the Computer Vision Toolbox from MathWorks provide the necessary tools for creating and exporting 3D graphics objects for inclusion in documents such as multimedia ebooks, interactive websites, and presentations (MathWorks 2025a, b).

Creating Animated 3D Objects with Python

Ever since the introduction of electronic devices with touch controls, interactive 3D graphics objects have become increasingly popular in multimedia electronic books (ebooks). The Open3D and the Rasterio packages for Python provide the necessary tools for creating and exporting 3D graphics objects for inclusion in documents such as multimedia ebooks, interactive websites, and presentations.

MATLAB Example to Illustrate John Aitchison’s Log-Ratio Transformation, Part 4

John Aitchison spent much of his career addressing the unique challenges of statistics for compositional data. His legacy is being carried on by colleagues who do not always succeed in presenting the material in a way that is understandable to geoscientists. Now in the fourth part of a series of blog posts, I am attempting to address the problems of closed data and possible workarounds using a series of simple MATLAB simulations, without frustrating geoscientists with mathematical formulas.

60th Online Shortcourse on MATLAB & Python Recipes for Earth Sciences

The popular online course on data analysis in the geosciences will be taught bilingual using the two leading programming languages and development environments MATLAB and Python in parallel on 15–19 September 2025. The course is based on my books MATLAB Recipes for Earth Science (Springer 2025) and Python Recipes for Earth Sciences (Springer 2024).
