Visual saliency by keypoints distribution analysis

2011

In this paper we introduce a new method for Visual Saliency detection. The goal of our method is to emphasize regions that show rare visual aspects in comparison with those showing frequent ones. We propose a bottom up approach that performs a new technique based on low level image features (texture) analysis. More precisely, we use SIFT Density Maps (SDM), to study the distribution of keypoints into the image with different scales of observation, and its relationship with real fixation points. The hypothesis is that the image regions that show a larger distance from the mode (most frequent value) of the keypoints distribution over all the image are the same that better capture our visual a…

Símbolos en el atuendo de las mujeres mayas de la antigüedad. Una aproximación iconográfica a tres diseños singulares

2021

Este artículo forma parte de una investigación de mayor envergadura que tiene como objeto de estudio la representación femenina en el arte maya a través de los elementos que conforman sus retratos y definen sus identidades. Tanto las joyas, como la pintura corporal, los tocados o las prendas de vestir, establecían un diálogo con el espectador de su tiempo que si se analiza e interpreta en la actualidad, también puede aproximar al investigador  al conocimiento sobre sus portadoras. Por ello, en esta ocasión presentamos concretamente el análisis de tres símbolos que forman parte de la indumentaria de algunas mujeres de la élite maya, entre los cuales cabe destacar el que luce la noble Señora …

Semiotic Roadmap for Designing Packaging

2015

This paper concerns the main aspects of semiotics of packaging. Packaging has to be considered as a special communicative touchpoint between brands and consumers, since it is a syncretic object (using various languages) with textures, materials, shapes and colours that consumers can see, touch, smell, involving different modes (visual, verbal, tactile) that convey a brand's core values.

‘‘This is my home, too’’: Migration, spectrality and hospitality inRoberta Torre’s Sud Side Stori (2000)

2011

The article explores Roberta Torre’s film Sud Side Stori (2000), an extravagant Italian re-vision of Romeo and Juliet set in the Sicilian city of Palermo which displays awareness of the global circulation of the story of the two ‘‘star-crossed lovers’’. In the film, which combines neo-realist cinematographic techniques with the artificial style of the musical, Shakespeare’s young lovers become Toni Giulietto, a lousy local rock singer, and Romea Wacoubo, a beautiful Nigerian prostitute who falls in love with him when she sees him standing on his balcony. Not unlike West Side Story, the inter-racial passion between Toni and Romea exacerbates pre-existing ethnic conflicts. It is opposed not o…

Shakespeare, Art and Artifice: An Interview with Stuart Sillars

2019

Ahead of the publication of his forthcoming book, Shakespeare Seen: Image, Performance and Society (Cambridge, 2018), Stuart Sillars sat down for an interview with Perry McPartland. The discussion revisited a number of topics that Sillars has explored in his various publications on Shakespeare, including Shakespeare’s aesthetic strategies of transformation, the relationship his work takes to the visual, and the uses to which Shakespeare puts aesthetic artifice. The interview was conducted in two parts over a very nearly adequate Skype connection in the summer of 2018.

Impact of Different Washing Conditions on the Release of Ag Species from Textiles

2016

The paper investigates the Ag release from textiles (socks available in shops, cotton and viscose filled with Ag nanoparticles–AgNPs) into a washing solution under different conditions. The released Ag amount depended on various factors, such as test media (chemical composition, temperature and water volume), metal contents, and textile impregnation conditions. Furthermore, it turned out that the textile type and colour were the main parameters affecting the Ag release. The Ag concentration in the washing solution ranged between 0.015 μg/l and 4.44 μg/l (socks) and between 0.61 μg/l and 103 μg/l (AgNPs–filled cotton). The total Ag percentage released into water during one washing varied con…

Modelos híbridos de simulación y visualización interactiva de avalanchas basados en mallas y dinámica de partículas

2015

El trabajo de investigación que describe la presente memoria tiene como objetivo diseñar un modelo de visualización de avalanchas adecuado para simulación interactiva. Para ello se emplean técnicas de advección de tex- turas y se propone un método que corrige las distorsiones en las texturas producidas por las discontinuidades que aparecen cuando se simulan flujos granulares. El modelo de visualización requiere el empleo de nuevas técnicas de simulación de materiales granulares que permitan visualizar grandes exten- siones de terreno en tiempos interactivos. Estas técnicas se caracterizan porque generan campos de velocidades que son empleados posteriormente en los modelos de advección. En e…
