Sistemi integrati per la visualizzazione immersiva

2015

Il disegno dell’architettura ha, tra i suoi obiettivi disciplinari, quello di “far vedere” lo spazio, sia nelle sue declinazioni temporali, sia in quelle descrittive di forme, luce, colori e materiali, caratteri connotativi che cerca di riprodurre grazie a metodi di proiezione codificati e tecniche di rappresentazione in continuo mutamento. Tra le tecniche di rappresentazione informatica la visualizzazione immersiva consente di ruotare lo sguardo, in tempo reale, all’interno di uno spazio, cercando di superare i limiti della rappresentazione piana, simulando la visione sferica dello spazio. La tecnica può essere utilizzata sia per vedere la realtà esistente, tramite immagini fotografiche, s…

Metric Learning in Histopathological Image Classification: Opening the Black Box

2023

The application of machine learning techniques to histopathology images enables advances in the field, providing valuable tools that can speed up and facilitate the diagnosis process. The classification of these images is a relevant aid for physicians who have to process a large number of images in long and repetitive tasks. This work proposes the adoption of metric learning that, beyond the task of classifying images, can provide additional information able to support the decision of the classification system. In particular, triplet networks have been employed to create a representation in the embedding space that gathers together images of the same class while tending to separate images w…

OpenMolcas: From Source Code to Insight

2019

In this article we describe the OpenMolcas environment and invite the computational chemistry community to collaborate. The open-source project already includes a large number of new developments realized during the transition from the commercial MOLCAS product to the open-source platform. The paper initially describes the technical details of the new software development platform. This is followed by brief presentations of many new methods, implementations, and features of the OpenMolcas program suite. These developments include novel wave function methods such as stochastic complete active space self-consistent field, density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) methods, and hybrid multico…

Definition of a Workflow for Web Browsing of 3D Models in Archaeology

2016

The Cultural Heritage (CH) is a fundamental element of promotion of territories and of tourism development. Publishing 3D models of archaeological sites and their three-dimensional reconstruction on the Web is one of the best ways to spread their knowledge. However, many recent scientific researches in this field have highlighted the limitations and difficulties related to the networking of interactive 3D models. The main difficulties are related to the complexity and the size of models, which influence the access speed, and the cost of software and hardware needed for the publication on the WEB. In light of this background, this article describes the further advances of research activities…

Investigating the Affordances and Constraints of SimReal for Mathematical Learning : A Case Study in Teacher Education

2019

Visualizations tools are one of the most innovative technologies that emerged the last few years in educational settings. They provide new potentialities for mathematical learning by means of dynamic animations and representations, interactive simulations, and live streaming of lessons. Moreover, visualization tools have the potential to foster a visual, dynamic, distributed, and embodied mathematics rather than individual achievements and static representations. This paper uses the visualization tool SimReal in teacher education to explore the affordances of the tool for learning mathematics. It proposes a framework that captures the affordances of SimReal at a technological, pedagogical, …

Towards A Twitter Observatory: A Multi-Paradigm Framework For Collecting, Storing And Analysing Tweets

2016

International audience; In this article we show how a multi-paradigm framework can fulfil the requirements of tweets analysis and reduce the waiting time for researchers that use computational resources and storage systems to support large-scale data analysis. The originality of our approach is to combine concerns about data harvesting, data storage, data analysis and data visualisation into a framework that supports inductive reasoning in multidisciplinary scientific research. Our main contribution is a polyglot storage system with a generic data model to support logical data independence and a set of tools that can provide a suitable solution for mixing different types of algorithms in or…

A Constrained Band Selection Method Based on Information Measures for Spectral Image Color Visualization

2011

International audience; We present a new method for the visualization of spectral images, based on a selection of three relevant spectral channels to build a Red-Green-Blue composite. Band selection is achieved by means of information measures at the first, second and third orders. Irrelevant channels are preliminarily removed by means of a center-surround entropy comparison. A visualization-oriented spectrum segmentation based on the use of color matching functions allows for computational ease and adjustment of the natural rendering. Results from the proposed method are presented and objectively compared to four other dimensionality reduction techniques in terms of naturalness and informa…

Multispectral Imaging using a Stereo Camera: Concept, Design and Assessment

2011

This paper proposes a one-shot six-channel multispectral color image acquisition system using a stereo camera and a pair of optical filters. The two filters from the best pair selected from among readily available filters such that they modify the sensitivities of the two cameras in such a way that they produce optimal estimation of spectral reflectance and/or color are placed in front of the two lenses of the stereo camera. The two images acquired from the stereo camera are then registered for pixel-to-pixel correspondence. The spectral reflectance and/or color at each pixel on the scene are estimated from the corresponding camera outputs in the two images. Both simulations and experiments…

Spatially variant dimensionality reduction for the visualization of multi/hyperspectral images

2011

International audience; In this paper, we introduce a new approach for color visu- alization of multi/hyperspectral images. Unlike traditional methods, we propose to operate a local analysis instead of considering that all the pixels are part of the same population. It takes a segmentation map as an input and then achieves a dimensionality reduction adaptively inside each class of pixels. Moreover, in order to avoid unappealing discon- tinuities between regions, we propose to make use of a set of distance transform maps to weigh the mapping applied to each pixel with regard to its relative location with classes' centroids. Results on two hyperspec- tral datasets illustrate the efficiency of…
