Speckle reduction techniques are applied to SAR imagery to produce images that are almost photographic in appearance ("quasi-photographic imagery"). A road tracking system designed for use with photographic imagery has been used to process this data. The road networks extracted from the quasi-photographic imagery are compared with those produced from optical imagery. It was found that the perfo...

This article considers the dichotomy of originals and copies in specific context photographs objects that recreate an existing work art or a documentary photograph. The examples span period from mid-nineteenth century to contemporary photographic practices. traditional legal regulation such is unsatisfactory compared with more recent theoretical approaches, as those proposed here. These approac...

Tone reproduction algorithms attempt to compress a large range of pixel values into a smaller range that is suitable for display on devices with limited dynamic range. A recently proposed tone reproduction operator achieved this goal by emulating photographic practice. Like in photography, the manual tuning of a small set of intuitive parameters was required. In this paper we extend this photog...
