A Musical Photograph?

Building Archaeological Photograph Library

The photographs taken at excavation fields are one of most important materials. It is expected to digitize and save these photographs in the computer system because of difficulty of management to many photographs and losing color problem. We designed and implemented prototype of archaeological photograph library. The library is designed based on Dublin Core Metadata Element set and XML We descr...

Automatic Photograph Enhancement

We propose a method of image enhancement, based on a spatial domain technique called histogram equalization. Traditional histogram equalization is only useful for images with backgrounds and foregrounds that are both bright or both dark, whereas our method works for images with high dynamic range. The technique is to segment the image into large regions with high contrast separations which are ...

The story of an old photograph.

THERE are 2 ways to learn surgery. The first is to listen to your teacher and to follow his steps. The second is to do what the rest of the world has been doing, and to try it on your soil. Both ways are important for perfection. Although no teacher means no knowledge, no global view means that you end up isolated, regardless of how skillful you are. Almost 100 years ago, Dr William J.

Automatic Organization of Photograph Collections

In this paper we address the problem of interacting with large streams of photographs. To achieve this, we studied patterns of photography, and found that photo streams exhibit a strong burst pattern along multiple levels of the time line. Using this fact we developed an algorithm to automatically organize the photographs hierarchically, where each node corresponds to a different event that the...
