although ancient greek physicians studied a great number of ocular diseases in their medical texts such as glaucoma, cataract, trachoma, chalazion, trichiasis, entropion, ectropion and pterygion, in ancient greek art there were only few examples which represent ophthalmic diseases. these examples are found especially in portraits, and the ophthalmological disease is an important feature of the ...

Most existing digital camera user interfaces place little emphasis on selfportrait options. Therefore, it is not always easy to take self-portraits using conventional user interfaces. This paper presents a vision-based head gesture interface for controlling a self-portrait camera that helps users to take self-portraits effectively and efficiently. Intuitive nodding and head-shaking gestures con...

While literature often tries to impute mathematical constants into art, this large-scale study (11 databases of paintings and photos, around 200.000 items) shows a different truth. The analysis, consisting of the width/height propor‐ tions, shows a value of rarely if ever one (square) and with majority of images having a proportion larger than one, but less than e.g. the golden ratio. Further‐ ...

We are made of many parts and many types of parts. Many of these are alive, and as the study of the human microbiome has recently revealed, most are not human. I explore the microbiome as an artistic medium and the questions it raises about identity, since the microbiome blurs the boundary between organism and environment, figure and ground. I cultivated my microbiome and others inhabiting my e...

In this paper we study the problem of hair interpolation: given two 3D hair models, we want to generate a sequence of intermediate hair models that transform from one input to another both smoothly and aesthetically pleasing. We propose an automatic method that efficiently calculates a many-to-many strand correspondence between two or more given hair models, taking into account the multi-scale ...
