Visual data mining with self-organising maps for ventricular fibrillation analysis

2012

Detection of ventricular fibrillation (VF) at an early stage is being deeply studied in order to lower the risk of sudden death and allows the specialist to have greater reaction time to give the patient a good recovering therapy. Some works are focusing on detecting VF based on numerical analysis of time-frequency distributions, but in general the methods used do not provide insight into the problem. However, this study proposes a new methodology in order to obtain information about this problem. This work uses a supervised self-organising map (SOM) to obtain visually information among four important groups of patients: VF (ventricular fibrillation), VT (ventricular tachycardia), HP (healt…

Subtle Increases in Interletter Spacing Facilitate the Encoding of Words during Normal Reading

2012

BackgroundSeveral recent studies have revealed that words presented with a small increase in interletter spacing are identified faster than words presented with the default interletter spacing (i.e., w a t e r faster than water). Modeling work has shown that this advantage occurs at an early encoding level. Given the implications of this finding for the ease of reading in the new digital era, here we examined whether the beneficial effect of small increases in interletter spacing can be generalized to a normal reading situation.MethodologyWe conducted an experiment in which the participant's eyes were monitored when reading sentences varying in interletter spacing: i) sentences were present…

An Automated Visual Inspection System for the Classification of the Phases of Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Alloy

2013

Metallography is the science of studying the physical properties of metal microstructures, by means of microscopes. While traditional approaches involve the direct observation of the acquired images by human experts, Com-puter Vision techniques may help experts in the analysis of the inspected mate-rials. In this paper we present an automated system to classify the phases of a Titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V. Our system has been tested to analyze the final products of a Friction Stir Welding process, to study the states of the micro-structures of the welded material.

Honeybees can recognise images of complex natural scenes for use as potential landmarks

2008

SUMMARY The ability to navigate long distances to find rewarding flowers and return home is a key factor in the survival of honeybees (Apis mellifera). To reliably perform this task, bees combine both odometric and landmark cues,which potentially creates a dilemma since environments rich in odometric cues might be poor in salient landmark cues, and vice versa. In the present study, honeybees were provided with differential conditioning to images of complex natural scenes, in order to determine if they could reliably learn to discriminate between very similar scenes, and to recognise a learnt scene from a novel distractor scene. Choices made by individual bees were modelled with signal detec…

Visual Arguments in Film

2008

Nuestro objetivo es señalar algunas diferencias entre los argumentos verbales y visuales, y promover la perspectiva retórica de la argumentación, yendo más allá de la relevancia de la lógica y de la pragmática. En nuestra opinión, si ha de ser racional y aceptable como argumentación (visual), un film debe dirigirse a espectadores que tienen creencias informadas sobre el tema visto en la pantalla y sobre las limitaciones y las convenciones del medio. En nuestras reflexiones, aplicamos el análisis retórico al cine como un acto simbólico, humano y comunicativo que a veces puede entenderse como un argumento trazado visualmente. Como mezcla de estímulos visuales, auditivos y verbales, el film ex…

Dimes y diretes. Condicionantes textuales de la fotografía de la mujer deportista española en la prensa gráfica (1923-1936)

2008

La incorporación de la mujer a la práctica deportiva en España tuvo lugar durante el primer tercio del siglo XX, y en contra de lo que hasta ahora se ha escrito, supuso una transformación considerable del imaginario visual de la mujer española. Tal iconografía tuvo en la prensa gráfica su medio principal de difusión (visibilidad), por lo que lectura de las imágenes, al margen de sus códigos simbólicos intrínsecos, estuvo determinada inexorablemente por el discurso textual verbal característico del medio. La lectura de estos documentos gráficos estuvo condicionada, como expone este trabajo, por una valoración que osciló entre la indulgencia y la crítica.
