This paper describes a compact resolutionand scale-independent representation for penand-ink illustrations. The proposed representation consists of a low-resolution grey-scale image, augmented by a set of discontinuity segments. We also present a new reconstruction algorithm that magnifies the low-resolution image while keeping the image sharp along the discontinuities. By storing pen-and-ink i...

after a long march of history of developments, hermeneutics, the theory of text interpretation, totally focused on understanding, has nowadays been wider scope that eventually includes artworks. hermeneutics refers to different approaches due to its theoretical versatility and associated applied paradigms including ricoeur’s textual hermeneutics. the latter may be best described as text-oriente...

This document reproduces the data analyses presented in Bühlmann and Hothorn (2007). For a description of the theory behind applications shown here we refer to the original manuscript. The results differ slightly due to technical changes or bugfixes in mboost that have been implemented after the paper was printed. Most important, gamboost uses penalized B-splines instead of smoothing splines as...

in this paper, we propose a simple, fast, and accurate method to make scientific illustrations specimens of animals. photos and/or pencil drawings provided via microscope or stereo-microscope equipped with camera lucida and scanned. the scanned illustrations were  imported into coreldraw. the detailed drawings are made using special pens and proper lines. the final produced illustrations with t...

Labels are an effective mean to visualize the association between textual and graphical information. Therefore, they are often employed in tutoring materials and technical documentations to support learning tasks. In this paper we present a novel system that integrates real-time layout algorithms for internal as well as external labels. This enables to display a maximum number of labels within ...
