Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Analysis Of Students Creative Thinking In Solving Transformation Geometry Problems
Creative Thinking Is One Of The Goals Of Learning Mathematics. Where Creative Thinking In Solving Problems Has Many Benefits In Research Analyzes Students\u27 Creative Thinking In Everyday Life. But In Reality, Students Creative Thinking Is Still Low. Therefore, It Is Necessary To Identify Creative Thinking, Especially In The Problem Of Transformation Geometry. This Research Is A Descriptive Study With A Qualitative Approach Carried Out In Fourth Semester Of Mathematics Education In Stkip Sebelas April Sumedang. From The Results And Discussions That Have Been Done, It Can Be Concluded That Students\u27 Creative Thinking Is Inadequate, It Means That They Have Not Been Able To Go Through The Creative Thinking Stages Completely. Of 29 Students Who Were Given Questions, The Results Show None Of Them Who Completely Met The Creative Thinking Stage. The Author Suggests That In Supporting Students\u27 Creative Thinking, It Is Necessary To Develop A Learning Model That Involves Giving Problems And Finding Solutions At The Same Time

Model-based 3D gait biometrics
Gait biometrics has attracted increasing interest in the computer vision and machine learning communities because of its unique advantages for recognition at distance. However, there have as yet been few gait biometric approaches which use temporal three-dimensional (3D) data. Clearly, 3D gait data conveys more information than 2D gait data and it is also the natural representation of human gait as perceived by humans. The University of Southampton has created a multi-biometric tunnel using twelve cameras to capture multiple gait images and reconstruct them into 3D volumetric gait data. Some analyses have been done using this 3D dataset mainly to solve the view dependent problem using model-free silhouette-based approaches. This thesis explores the potential of model-based methods in an indoor 3D volumetric gait dataset and presents a novel human gait features extraction algorithm based on marionette and mass-spring principles.We have developed two different model-based approaches to extract human gait kinematics from 3D volumetric gait data. The first approach used a structural model of a human. This model contained four articulated cylinders and four joints with two degrees of rotational freedom at each joint to model the human lower legs. Human gait kinematic trajectories were extracted by fitting the gait model to the gait data. We proposed a simple yet effective model-fitting algorithm using a correlation filter and dynamic programming.To increase the fitting performance, we utilized a genetic algorithm on top of this structural model. The second approach was a novel 3D model-based approach using a marionette-based mass-spring model. To model the articulated human body, we used a stick-figure model which emulates marionette's motion and joint structure. The stick-figure model had eleven nodes representing the human joints of head, torso and lower legs. Each node was linked with at least one other node by spring. The voxel data in the next frame had a role as an attractor which able to generate forces for each node and then iteratively warp the model into the data. This process was repeated for successive frames.Our methods can extract both structural and dynamic gait features. Some of the extracted features were inherently unique to 3D gait data such as footprint angle and pelvis rotation. Analysis on a database of 46 subjects shows an encouraging correct classification rate up to 95.1% and suggests that model-based 3D gait analysis can contribute even more in gait biometrics
