Visual cryptography is a system offering arrangement which uses pictures flowed as shares such that, when the shares are stack, a touchy or emit picture is uncovered. As per expanded visual cryptography, the offer pictures are manufactured to hold convincing spread pictures, in like manner giving open avenues to organizing visual cryptography and biometric security routines. In this paper, we p...

SenseCam is a wearable digital camera that automatically takes pictures due to timers or sensorbased triggers. We propose using a compass sensor to trigger picture-taking, and detail our implementation of this idea as an add-on module for the SenseCam. We also describe a method for comparing triggering algorithms for SenseCam using a video recorder and video annotation software. We use this met...

Ever growing number of image documents available on the Internet continuously motivates research in better annotation models and more efficient retrieval methods. Formal knowledge representation of objects and events in pictures, their interaction as well as context complexity becomes no longer an option for a quality image repository, but a necessity. We present an ontologybased online image a...

The eye-tracking method was used to assess attentional orienting to and engagement on emotional visual scenes. In Experiment 1, unpleasant, neutral, or pleasant target pictures were presented simultaneously with neutral control pictures in peripheral vision under instruction to compare pleasantness of the pictures. The probability of first fixating an emotional picture, and the frequency of sub...

In psychophysical experiments, the influence of the presentation of visual stimuli on the loudness evaluation of sounds from traffic noise has been investigated. In a first experiment it was shown that the colour of the visual stimulus can influence loudness evaluation in such a way that – for same acoustic stimulus – the loudness of a red train can be rated 15 % higher than the loudness of a g...

We suggest to use animated pictures (films) as graphical comments in the source code of programs. Such pictures can be played forwards and backwards in steps under the control of the user. They can have multiple branches, which lead to different pictures. Animation effects can be applied to show how a picture changes over time. This can be useful for visualizing the dynamic behavior of programs...

Here we present an annotation of locations and temporal progression depicted in the movie "Forrest Gump", as an addition to a large public functional brain imaging dataset ( http://studyforrest.org). The annotation provides information about the exact timing of each of the 870 shots, and the depicted location after every cut with a high, medium, and low level of abstraction. Additionally, four ...

Making a photo book as a special gift to your beloved can be very time-consuming. One has to carefully select and arrange the pictures nicely over the pages of a previously bought photo book. In these days, photo finisher companies are able to directly print and bind a nice photo book from a selected set of images. But for the users of the software that comes with the album creation, the select...
