A computer vision system must distinguish between Rubronian tanks, armored personnel carriers, trucks, and mobile missile launchers. The system usually detects wheels on trucks, armored personnel carriers and mobile missile launchers, but not on tanks. When viewed from the side, tanks and mobile missile launchers usually show a protrusion near…

When a person looks at any picture, it becomes a part of his/her identity and it sticks in the mind for a period of time; it might well control the actions afterwards. Supporting Rosen’s argument, Hymowitz discusses how Britney Spears exploited the cameras around her “revealed her waxed-nether regions to waiting photographs as she exited her limo” (Hymowitz 1). Her images were on the social media websites within minutes. These days, social media websites are more advanced, which enables people…

Manipulation is defined as moving or controlling something by hands, for instance when people are editing their photos they are manipulating it. In the modern world manipulating pictures is almost normal and it is becoming very predominant in today’s society. Editing pictures is nothing new, but the real question is, what happens when photo-journalists start to manipulate their work? Why do so many people agree that it is right to do that? When they do that, they are losing their credibility…

What is interesting is that he writes about how photography is a process of taking what we already see, it is based on selection not synthesis. We do not get to create what we want to see when taking photos of the world, is all about how we see it that makes a photo interesting, “the world itself is an artist of incomparable inventiveness,” (Szarkowski 3). So a photographer’s job is to see the art that the world has created and to capture it, to express what he has seen. This shows us that…

our lives today with how it's evolving and how everyone and their mother are recording virtually anything of interest. Newer tools like iphone cameras and phone applications that allow you to edit and mess around with photos are one of the things that never would have been thought of back then. In this research paper I aim to talk about the types of cameras and technology behind them, as well as the greatest examples for each. The processes they used at their respective times, as well as how…

play”, but in this adaptation, Hamlet is actually shown filming the play with a video camera, which is not only one of the few elements in the scene that indicates that it has a modern-day setting but also sort of makes the scene a “movie within a movie adaptation” at some points. In addition to this, after Hamlet turns down the Queen’s request to “sit by [her]”, Polonius appears to look directly into the camera while saying “oho, do you mark that?” (3.2.101-104) This establishes the idea that…

“Body cameras have become an easy political answer to the complex problem of crumbling trust in police.”4 Body cameras are often attached to the chest or hat of a police officer. Smaller than a cell phone, the cameras do not hinder the police officers performance, and are practically unnoticeable. The officer can turn off the camera, but the times they are able to are regulated. This small device records and stores all interactions that an officer has, including all misconducts. The cameras are…

To understand how automated behavior analysis would work, it is appropriate to first take a step back and review the basics of video surveillance. Although the application of video surveillance varies from system to system, Taha et al. (2014) cite six consecutive steps required for a general video surveillance system (p. 22). Figure 1 depicts the six steps, their relation to one another and what each step seeks to accomplish. When combined, these steps build upon the previous to…

contributed to the development of the camera. The concept of creating images besides drawing them started hundreds of years ago and had finally met it’s ideal state about 100 years ago. Cameras were, and will remain a device that will take us on further into the future like it did before. One of the most early and historically important ideas in the development of photography…

M.I.A.’s song “Born Free” has an extremely controversial music video that raises awareness to the fact that oppression and discrimination are still extremely relevant in todays modern society. The director of the music video is Romain Gavras. The way the electronic music duo delivered their message has been criticized for being far fetched because it depicts a government like group geocoding innocent redhead boys. Instead of analyzing the video as being too far fetched, I believe M.I.A. uses…
