IMAGE ORIENTATION WITH A HYBRID PIPELINE ROBUST TO ROTATIONS AND WIDE-BASELINES
2022
Abstract. The extraction of reliable and repeatable interest points among images is a fundamental step for automatic image orientation (Structure-From-Motion). Despite recent progresses, open issues in challenging conditions - such as wide baselines and strong light variations - are still present. Over the years, traditional hand-crafted methods have been paired by learning-based approaches, progressively updating the state-of-the-art according to recent benchmarks. Notwithstanding these advancements, learning-based methods are often not suitable for real photogrammetric surveys due to their lack of rotation invariance, a fundamental requirement for these specific applications. This paper p…
Identity | The colors of project
2017
“Identity | The Colors of Project” è il primo Convegno Internazionale organizzato da 110eLab, Associazione Culturale per la promozione del design siciliano, con la collaborazione dell’INBAR | Sezione Trapani. L’obiettivo, nel quadro del Piano Colore Isole Egadi, è di analizzare la costruzione dell’identità attraverso una strategia sapientemente progettata. Ciò può essere brand, di aziende come di enti, dunque immagine coordinata (marchio, carattere tipografico, gamma cromatica...), oppure una campagna fotografica o ancora una qualità visiva che emerge grazie all’impiego di segni distintivi che fanno sistema. L’attenzione soprattutto è rivolta alla qualità, non soltanto visiva, che definisce…
Promoting cruise ship as 'tourist destination' on Television: the case of Italy
2019
Destination image is one of the elements that most affect tourists’ decision-making processes (Baloglu and McCleary, 1999). Since a distinctive image can differentiate a destination from its competitors, destinations usually compete also via images (Urry, 1990). In this regard, cruise tourism is no exception, since “image is what sells cruises” (Klein, 2002). Over the past 30 years this has led to significant growth in advertising activities aiming to promote the cruise ship “as the destination in itself” (Wood, 2004). Similar trends can be observed among Italian cruise lines as well. Among different types of promotional texts, the importance of the visual ones in shaping the ways tourist r…

Correlación radiopatológica del tamaño tumoral en el cáncer de mama. Implicaciones terapéuticas
2022
Antecedentes: Las técnicas de imagen utilizadas en el cáncer de mama para determinar inicialmente el tamaño tumoral (T) son la mamografía y la ecografía, aceptándose como valor T inicial el mayor tamaño tumoral determinado por las dos técnicas. Tras la estimación del tamaño mediante técnicas convencionales, se realiza la biopsia de la lesión y a continuación se completa la estadificación con resonancia magnética (RM) en las pacientes indicadas. En la actualidad, la RM mamaria tiene indicaciones limitadas. Ante el aumento de indicación de la RM prequirúrgica, diferentes estudios han evaluado el impacto de sus hallazgos sobre el manejo de las pacientes y apoyan su mayor precisión frente a las…
The image of the monolingual dictionary across Europe. Results of the European Survey of Dictionary use and Culture
2019
The article presents the results of a survey on dictionary use in Europe, focusing on general monolingual dictionaries. The survey is the broadest survey of dictionary use to date, covering close to 10,000 dictionary users (and non-users) in nearly thirty countries. Our survey covers varied user groups, going beyond the students and translators who have tended to dominate such studies thus far. The survey was delivered via an online survey platform, in language versions specific to each target country. It was completed by 9,562 respondents, over 300 respondents per country on average. The survey consisted of the general section, which was translated and presented to all participants, as wel…
Review of photoelastic image analysis applied to structural birefringent materials: glass and polymers
2015
Photoelasticity is particularly suitable for the analysis of the stress state in structural materials that are transparent and birefringent. Some techniques of digital photoelasticity (phase shifting and RGB) are applied to the analysis of stress field in two classes of structural materials. The first one consists of tempered glasses, such as those used in the automotive and architectural fields. The second one consists of thermoset polymers, typically used as matrices in fiber reinforced plastic structural composites. The birefringence of such resins is, in particular, exploited to investigate the development of swelling stresses and changes in fracture toughness as induced by water uptake…
Linear Feature Extraction for Ranking
2018
We address the feature extraction problem for document ranking in information retrieval. We then propose LifeRank, a Linear feature extraction algorithm for Ranking. In LifeRank, we regard each document collection for ranking as a matrix, referred to as the original matrix. We try to optimize a transformation matrix, so that a new matrix (dataset) can be generated as the product of the original matrix and a transformation matrix. The transformation matrix projects high-dimensional document vectors into lower dimensions. Theoretically, there could be very large transformation matrices, each leading to a new generated matrix. In LifeRank, we produce a transformation matrix so that the generat…
Kategoria inności wobec problemów integracji - róznicowania
2014
Celem niniejszego opracowania jest interdyscyplinarne wyodrębnienie kategorii inności w odniesieniu do ucznia niepełnosprawnego w klasie integracyjnej, przydatne w rozważaniach dotyczących postrzegania tego ucznia przez pryzmat odmienności i obcości, nadania mu etykiety inności oraz ulegania przezeń procesowi integracji szkolnej. Inność, która jest cechą wyróżniającą w danej grupie, bardzo często stanowi barierę w kontaktach międzyludzkich. Inny często podlega społecznej segregacji i wykluczeniu. Grupą szczególnie narażoną na proces marginalizacji są osoby niepełnosprawne. Wizerunek osób niepełnosprawnych najczęściej konstruowany jest niejako w opozycji do pojęcia normalności. Ich wiadomy, …
