One of the cultural myths that I have fallen into would have to be the ‘colorblindness is progress’. I’ve always seen past people and their color, or where they came from. I enclosed myself in the mindset of ‘I’m not racist because I don’t look at people’s skin color or background’. After learning about color blindness, and realizing that I was apart of it, I now know that this is the wrong way to view humans. Color blindness may seem like a good idea, and the intention might be of good intent;…

1. a) Describe Gestalt psychology’s contribution to our understanding of perception. b) Name and describe the 5 principles of perceptual grouping in form perception. Gestalt psychology’s contribution to our understanding of perception made other psychologist believe that people have this ability where they organize same objects together as a whole when they are given a group of sensations. For instance, when a person is looking straight forward they only see what is in front of them as a whole…

This section describes the algorithm used for traffic light and road sign detection. It also provides the hardware components used to provide output. In the proposed system, initially input image was obtained in RGB form and converted to gray scale and finally to binary images. This said to be pre-processing of images. Then filtering was performed for removal of noise from images. Color of traffic light was detected based on threshold values. Hough transform was done for the detection of shape…

The freed prisoner wouldn’t be able to revert to his former ignorance after acquiring this new found knowledge because of the human instinct to advance. Plato goes more into detail with this thought by stating “Those with beatific vision are unwilling to descend to human affairs; for their souls are ever hastening into the upper world where they desire to dwell; which desire of theirs is very natural, if our allegory may be natural.” ( Page 3 ) To translate this into more modern terms…

Many film adaptations and spoofs have been produced throughout the decades with regards to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Even though not one of these will live up to the legacy that is Frankenstein, it is interesting to see in what ways they have honored the original piece. Animated films bring their own unique perspective to the table. This is a result of the majority of these movies being meant for children and, in turn, not portraying the correct physical appearance. However, the movies are…

The Army doctrine is working on the Expert Action Badge (EAB); we should notice it by October 2019 if approved. The EAB plans to allow Soldiers to make professional goals in line with their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). An example would be the Infantry has the Expert Infantryman Badge (EIB) and the Medical Corps have an Expert Medical Field Badge (EFMB). The Expert Action Badge is not similar to the Expert Infantryman Badge, which focuses solely on for infantry related skills. The…

more disciplined and respectful to their parents, providing the viewers with the perception of middle schoolers during the 80s. This is presented in the film when Mikey wishes he could find a way to help his dad pay bills and be elevated from their low class status in which lead to the reasoning of his strong drive in finding the hidden treasure. However at the end of the film Mikey’s father explains that social status is meaningless to him as being with his family is all that…

human eye is sensitive to is the color yellow. However, according to Lilienfeld et al. (2014), the Trichromatic theory actually suggest that the human eye contains specific photoreceptor cells, specifically cones, that are responsible for colored vision and are sensitive to the colors red, green, and blue. Also, the paper incorrectly defines the location of the rods and cones within the eye by stating that these photoreceptor cells surround the pupil. The true fact is that the rods and cones…

After reading Module 1: Technology, the Production Process, and Distribution, it is my first time to understand what 16, 35 or 70MM and Critical flicker fusion are. In my mind, it is so easy to make a film. For example when making film, there is only a camera to record what actors and actresses are showing. That is all. I have never thought that there are a lot of frames per second shown in front of my eyes when watching any movies. Furthermore, in the basic background about making film, I only…

In the film “Thanks for Smoking” the cinematographer James Whitaker does a great job giving us a film that is both ailing and entertaining to the viewer through his use of high, distance and overall use of the camera in the ways of movement and selection of space and light for shots. For example, the use of long shots/ wide shots during film allow us to focus on the surroundings and atmosphere of where Nick our main character was, driving up on the Ranch, walking down stairs and through the…
