Video of me presenting some of my results on the Ray Tracing methods applied to Telecommunications.
Context
On June 15, 2022, I had the chance to present a method that I had imagined during my student job in the summer of 2020, under the supervision of Professor Claude Oestges. After a long break during the academic year 2020-2021, among other things to work on my master thesis, I had the opportunity to work on my method again as part of my PhD thesis and to produce a paper.
Video
Technical details
The present video is the recording of my presentation at the COST INTERACT 2022 meeting which took place on June 13, 14 and 15 in Lyon, France.
The animation was entirely made with the Manim Python library. Below, you will find the exact code used for the realization of the video.
Concerning the paper, it is not yet publicly available (except for COST members), but I hope to be able to provide a PDF version in free access soon.
This was my very first presentation as a researcher, and I am open to all your comments, criticisms or questions!
Source code
As stated above, the video was generated with Manim, a fantastic Python libray for maths related explanation videos. The manim-presentation Python library was used to switch between slides, as if it was a unique PowerPoint-like presentation.
Minimal setup
First, make sure you have Manim installed on your machine, along with a TeX distribution with necessary packages (most TeX distrubutions allow for download-on-demand packages, so this should not be a problem).
Second, make sure to install those additional Python packages:
pip install manim-presentation numpy sympy shapely
Reproduce locally
To reproduce the exact same animation as in the video, please follow the next step:
- Copy the source code (see below) into a file name, e.g.,
slides.py - Open a Terminal / Command-line in the same directory as this file
- Create the animations in
highquality withmanim -qh slides.py - Play the slides
manim-presentation --fullscreen Slides
Warning: on Windows, I encountered a problem where the quality of slides was terrible with the --fullscreen flag. This can be fixed by resizing frames manually (you have to edit the manim-presentation package to do so). Hopefully, I will propose a GitHub Pull Request on the actual package repository.
