Roland Barthes and Camera Lucida
No full textCamera Lucida, is often seen as the terminal point for a certain mode of thinking about photography, perceived as initiating the end of structuralism and an era of semiotics to be replaced by forms of new criticism. Camera Lucida was written in three months between 15 April and 3 June 1979. Printed in January 1980, the book was published before the road accident that knocked Barthes over on rue des Écoles, Paris, 25 February 1980. Barthes died a month later in hospital on 26 March 1980. Camera Lucida is an essay that belongs to this ‘poststructuralist’ context. It bears the hallmark of such concerns, a work that refuses to be ‘put in a box’. As part novel, part philosophy, part ‘biographeme’ (part author-object), the book eschews singular interpretations and offers a trap for those who try. However, the process of identifying the punctum in Camera Lucida proves to be difficult, fundamentally slippery
Hydrogeological characteristics and water availability in the mountainous aquifer systems of Italian Central Alps: A regional scale approach
No full textGroundwater resources in mountain areas are strategically important to maintain adequate water supply for domestic uses, farming, industrial activities, and energy production, also considering the expected growing demand due to ongoing climate changes. Within this framework, the objective of the study is to develop a regional approach, compliant with the European requirements of the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC and Groundwater Directive 2006/118/EC, that could support public agencies and water companies to efficiently manage and protect the available water resources in mountainous environments.
The proposed approach identifies and delineates groundwater bodies by coupling a 3D hydro-stratigraphic model with the definition of the water budget and water hydrochemical fingerprints in a geologically complex Alpine environment in Northern Italy. Sixteen groundwater bodies (GWBs) have been identified all over the 10.290 km2 area, showing an average storage capacity of more than 500 Mm3 y−1 (about 3% of the average total inflow from precipitation and snowmelt), with differences up to four times between GWBs mainly constituted of carbonate rocks and those prevalently composed of crystalline or terrigenous rocks. Groundwater quality in the study domain is generally excellent, with few exceptions due to geogenic (i.e., natural) or anthropogenic sources of contamination. The results of this study show the advantages of coupling 3D hydro-stratigraphic modelling combined with meteorological, hydrological and hydrogeological information, which consist in: i) identifying the most Strategic Storage Reservoir both in terms of quality and storage capacity; ii) evaluating the present ground- and surface water availability; iii) detecting areas of specific interest for implementing groundwater monitoring networks; iv) recognising recharge areas of the most relevant springs, to implement protection strategies of the resource
Characterization for high dynamic range imaging
No full textIn this paper we present a new practical camera characterization technique to improve color accuracy in high dynamic range (HDR) imaging. Camera characterization refers to the process of mapping device-dependent signals, such as digital camera RAW images, into a well-defined color space. This is a well-understood process for low dynamic range (LDR) imaging and is part of most digital cameras — usually mapping from the raw camera signal to the sRGB or Adobe RGB color space. This paper presents an efficient and accurate characterization method for high dynamic range imaging that extends previous methods originally designed for LDR imaging. We demonstrate that our characterization method is very accurate even in unknown illumination conditions, effectively turning a digital camera into a measurement device that measures physically accurate radiance values — both in terms of luminance and color — rivaling more expensive measurement instruments

ACOUSTIC CAMERA SHIP NOISE MEASUREMENTS DURING DOCKING OPERATIONS: A CASE STUDY IN GENOA
No full textPort noise is characterized by the overlapping of multiple sources, of which ships represent one of the most relevant. The study of the noise emission from ships is a difficult task due to the dimensions of the ships and the simultaneous emission from different onboard sources. The noise coming from the port causes discomfort and complaints, particularly in ports which are surrounded by hills with residential buildings, such as the port of Genoa. This work aims to characterize the emission of a ship during docking in the port of Genoa using an acoustic camera. Acoustical images and videos of the arrival and of the docking manoeuvres of Ro-Pax vessels were obtained from different positions using an acoustic camera suitable for outdoor long-range measurements. Acoustical maps obtained from the measurements are used to characterize the spatial distribution of the noise and to detect the location and level of the main sources. Results from the overall sound pressure levels were compared with standard sound level meter measurements. In this way, some sources were precisely
located in the ships, mainly on the ventilation system and engine exhaust. This approach confirms that acoustic camera measurements are useful for obtaining relevant empirical information that can be used to model the port noise and to propose possible mitigation strategies, overcoming the limitations of traditional techniques based on sound level meters measurements
