Integrated modeling systems for 3D vision
No full textA joint project between the Interdept. Research Center of the University of Padova (CIRGEO) and Dr. Richard. M. Levy, teaching Professor at the Faculty of Environmental Design of the University of Calgary (Canada), has been undertaken aimed to the generation of a full 3D model of an historical building and the surrounding environment, based on a terrestrial laser scanning survey. The main goal of this project is to provide a 3D representation where two different contents are merged together: the object’s geometry on one hand and a set of related historical and cultural information on the other hand. Indeed, through suitable VR authoring tools, like the Virtools Dev. software, it is now possible to build VR environments around laser scanning-based 3D models, which allow the user with a certain level of interaction with the model itself. This solution opens interesting perspectives towards the use of 3D models as a mean to promote the national Cultural Heritage content among remote people: portable cave systems, comprising of double projector devices, stereo 3D converter and a wide screen display, could be profitable employed to this end.
In this paper we report the first results of our VR project, i.e. creating a TLS-based 3D model of the church of Pozzoveggiani, an ancient historical building located 15 km south of Padua (Italy). The second stage of the work, i..e. the generation of an interactive VR environment based on such 3D model is still in progress at current date. Therefore we will focus here on different issues related to the generation of a fully closed model of a complex structure, a situation frequently found in the Cultural Heritage field
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
A Tribute to Professor Herman M. Levy
Get PDFOn April 5, 2004, the Santa Clara University School of Law lost a beloved and exceptional professor, mentor, colleague, and friend. Professor Herman M. Levy passed away in Oroville, California, the day before his seventy-fifth birthday. Herman had taken a quick trip to Oroville to conduct a labor arbitration; he had served for many years as an arbitrator throughout California and other western states. Every year, I invited him to visit my first-year civil procedure class to talk about arbitration as a form of dispute resolution; he always delighted the class with his combination of wry humor and practical wisdom. These simple gifts -educating students and conducting arbitrations-filled the last years of Herman\u27s life and brought him deep fulfillment. It gives me pleasure to think that Herman passed from this world in the midst of doing what he loved, with warmth and with excellence. May we all be so fortunate
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
