Retargeting aims at displaying a photo with an arbitrary aspect ratio, wherein the visually/semantically prominent objects are appropriately preserved and visual distortions can be well alleviated. Conventional retargeting models built upon perception of photos from family pre-specified communities ( <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlin...

Aerial photography acquired with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has great potential for incorporation into rangeland health monitoring protocols, and object-based image analysis is well suited for this hyperspatial imagery. A major drawback, however, is the low spectral resolution of the imagery, because most lightweight cameras suitable for UAVs only acquire imagery in the red, green, and blu...

The goal of this research is to test an empirical line radiometric calibration of airborne digital scanner ADS40 data from Leica Geosystems, for remote sensing applications in general and to demonstrate the potential of ADS40 data for archaeological prospection in detail. In this study we present the first results of multitemporal flight campaigns with two different generations of ADS40 sensor ...

Orthoimages can be used for several purposes. One of them is used them as control information, instead of artificial targets, to determine the exterior orientation of new aerial images. For such a purpose, the image displacements on aerial photos, usually tilted photographs, caused by topographic relief (including the relief of topographic objects) should be removed. In that case the correct ge...

When people rapidly judge the truth of claims presented with or without related but nonprobative photos, the photos tend to inflate the subjective truth of those claims--a "truthiness" effect (Newman et al., 2012). For example, people more often judged the claim "Macadamia nuts are in the same evolutionary family as peaches" to be true when the claim appeared with a photo of a bowl of macadamia...
