The capacity of automatically modeling photographic composition is valuable for many real-world machine vision applications such as digital photography, image retrieval, image understanding, and image aesthetics assessment. The triangle technique is among those indispensable composition methods on which professional photographers often rely. This paper proposes a system that can identify promin...

We present a novel, yet simple algorithm for clustering large collections of digital images. The method is applicable to consumer digital photo libraries, where it can be used to organise a photo-album, enhancing the search/browse capability and simplifying the interface in the process. The method is based on standard MPEG-7 visual content descriptors, which, when combined with date and time me...

With the rising popularity of cameras and people’s increasing desire to share photos, an overwhelming number of photos have been posted all over the Web. A digital photo usually contains much information in its metadata. Once published online, a photo could disclose much more information beyond what is visually depicted in the photo and what the owner expects to share. The metadata contained in...

Introduction: Existing research and treatment for brain injured adults uses cognitive rehabilitation to address memory deficits including compensatory and remedial techniques. Electronic devices such as the Neuropage and palm top computers are effective in compensating for memory deficits. However, these require the user to be trained and proficient in their use. This exploratory study investig...

People’s identities (i.e., who they are) are increasingly performed in both physical and digital spaces. Individuals become cyborgs as they extend their presence and bodily senses through digital bodies (e.g., social media profiles, blog posts and avatars). To gain insight into how people make sense of who they are in the face of their digital extensions, a photo-diary method is advanced in thi...

Executive Summary: Although written surveys have their place in determining how guests view a particular hotel, a graphic-based approach gives them a chance to show rather than just tell hoteliers what is important. One such graphic technique is photo-elicitation, which encourages guests to use images and descriptions to respond to a hotel's design and amenities. In a photo-elicitation assessme...

Large size digital aerial frame cameras like Intergraph DMC and Vexcel UltraCam are becoming standard for photogrammetric application. It is difficult to compare the information contents of such cameras with this of analogue photographic cameras. Also the rules for project planning have to be checked if the old relation between photo scale and map scale is still valid. The photo scale has no lo...

introduction: external root resorption (err) is associated with physiological and pathological dissolution of mineralized tissues by clastic cells and radiography is one of the most important methods in its diagnosis. the aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the accuracy of conventional intraoral radiography (cr) in comparison with digital radiographic techniques, i.e. charge-coupled ...

Synthesizing face sketches from real photos and its inverse are well studied problems and they have many applications in digital forensics and entertainment. However, photo/sketch synthesis remains a challenging problem due to the fact that photo and sketch have different characteristics. In this work, we consider this task as an image-to-image translation problem and explore the recently popul...

Rapid technological growth and the decreasing cost of photo capture means that we are all taking more digital photographs than ever before. However, lack of technology for automatically organising personal photo archives has resulted in many users left with poorly annotated photos, causing them great frustration when such photo collections are to be browsed or searched at a later time. As a res...
