The visual appearance of objects is given by the way in which they reflect and transmit light. The color of objects is determined by the parts of the spectrum of (incident white) light that are reflected or transmitted without being absorbed. Additional appearance attributes are based on the directional distribution of reflected (BRDF) or transmitted light (BTDF) described by attributes like glossy, shiny versus dull, matte, clear, turbid, distinct, etc.
The appearance of reflecting objects is determined by the way the surface reflects incident light. The reflective properties of the surface can be characterized by a closer look at the (micro)-topography of that surface.
Structures on the surface and the texture of the surface are determined by typical dimensions between some 10 mm and 0.1 mm (the detection limit of the human eye is at ~0.07 mm). Smaller structures and features of the surface cannot be directly detected by the unaided eye, but their effect becomes apparent in objects or images reflected in the surface. Structures at and below 0.1 mm reduce the distinctness of image (DOI), structures in the range of 0.01 mm induce haze and even smaller structures affect the gloss of the surface.
Sliders and Visual Analogue Scales (VASs) are input mechanisms which allow users to specify a value within a predefined range. At a minimum, sliders and VASs typically consist of a line with the extreme values labeled. Additional decorations such as labels and tick marks can be added to give information about the gradations along the scale and allow for more precise and repeatable selections. There is a rich history of research about the effect of labelling in discrete scales (i.e., Likert scales), however the effect of decorations on continuous scales has not been rigorously explored. In this paper we perform a 2,000 user, 250,000 trial online experiment to study the effects of slider appearance, and find that decorations along the slider considerably bias the distribution of responses re...

An Ace Visibly Materializes
[Video Script] Let's get started. Do you feel it on your tongue right now when you look at it? Potato chips. I want you to go into a supermarket with me and walk through the aisles and I want you to stop in front of the aisle filled with potato chips. There is something magical about potato chip packaging. Something very unique and I don't know if you have ever noticed. Every single package of potato chips, no matter the brand, no matter the supermarket you're in, no matter the country you are, worldwide, has a picture of potato chips on the front. Did you ever notice? Next time when you go to the supermarket, I want you to look there and you will not find one package without the picture of potato chips. So what can we learn from that? It's very simple information they send to us. It doesn...

hey everyone! This is my first fanmade video and I am really happy about this. I am sorry for the quality I don't know why it turned out like this. But I still hope you enjoy this video! As you can probably guess Sanha is my bias! ^-^ I love his voice so much and I really think it deserves more appreciation. He is just 16 years old and I think it's just amazing how he can be this talented and be especially so stable with his voice in live shows! And of course whole ASTRO is! Honestly, I stan a lot of groups but they are the first rookie group who can really sing SO well live. Plus dance amazing and look amazing. And ALL of them are so stable with their voices on stage! Wow~ And even though this video is dedicated to Sanha, I wish ASTRO a great 100 days anniversary! Please let the count...
Read your free e-book: http://hotaudiobook.com/mebk/50/en/B0128QD7Q2/book The digital age has revolutionised the look of journalism, be it online or in print. The subsequent shift to multi-media and multi-platform publishing arguably makes visual appearance and branding more important than ever. Yet visual journalism remains a relatively under-theorised and under-researched field.visual Journalism presents a unique, critical investigation into this area. Combining theory and practice, the chapters integrate the experiences of practitioners working in photography, visual design and set design, including insights into how they work and the changing environments they find themselves in, with an innovative theory of visual communication multimodality that enables the text to break down and a...
Project Page: http://www.cs.columbia.edu/CAVE/projects/app_match/ In contrast to the traditional approach of recognizing objects based on their shapes, we formulate the recognition problem as one of matching appearances. For any given vision task, all possible appearance variations define its visual workspace. A set of images is obtained by coarsely sampling the workspace. The image set is compressed to obtain a low-dimensional subspace, called the eigenspace, in which the visual workspace is represented as a continuous appearance manifold. Given an unknown input image, the recognition system first projects the image to the eigenspace. The parameters of the vision task are recognized based on the exact position of the projection on the appearance manifold. The proposed appearance rep...

In this video we present an online landmark selection method for efficient and accurate visual localization under changing appearance conditions. The wide range of conditions encountered during long-term visual localization by e.g., fleets of autonomous vehicles, offers the potential to exploit redundancy and reduce data usage by selecting only those visual cues which are relevant at the given time. Therefore co-observability statistics guide landmark ranking and selection, significantly reducing the amount of information used for localization while maintaining or even improving accuracy. The approach is demonstrated in two different environments: one with day-to-night appearance changes, and one with seasonal and weather changes spanning one year. Data is recorded with a car equipped wi...

Deva Ramanan presents as part of the UBC Department of Computer Science's Distinguished Lecture Series, September 24, 2015. Computer vision is currently undergoing a period of rapid progress, brought in part through the integration of machine-learning techniques with big training datasets. This talk will attempt to examine some of the modeling insights behind this progress, as well as open challenges that remain. A well-known but under-appreciated observation is that visual phenomena follows a long-tail distribution: a few modes of appearance are common, while many rare modes are in the tail. As an example, people commonly stand or walk, but can contort their body into many more poses. I will argue that the "tail" remains the open challenge because training data is limited (even in the bi...

From https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/4-AcO-DMT Physical effects Spontaneous tactile sensations - The "body high" of 4-AcO-DMT can be described as a pleasurable, warm, soft and all-encompassing tingling sensation. This maintains a consistent presence that steadily rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached. Sedation - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the tripper, 4-AcO-DMT is considered by most to be relaxing, stoning and mildly sedating. This sense of sedation is often accompanied by compulsive yawning.

Google Tech Talks January, 17 2008 ABSTRACT In the task of visual object categorization, semantic context can play the very important role of reducing ambiguity in objects' visual appearance. In this work we propose to incorporate semantic object context as a post-processing step into any off-the-shelf object categorization model. Using a conditional random field (CRF) framework, our approach maximizes object label agreement according to contextual relevance. We compare two sources of context: one learned from training data and another queried from Google Sets. The overall performance of the proposed framework is evaluated on the PASCAL and MSRC datasets. Our findings conclude that incorporating context into object categorization greatly improves categorization accuracy. Speaker: Andre...
As Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo’s collection brilliantly attests, Dutch painting of the 17th century is remarkable for its naturalism and compelling truth to life—what scholars in the 19th century admired as its “probity.” No other artists before the Dutch left such a comprehensive record in paint of their land, people, and possessions. In the early 21st century, viewers still marvel at Dutch artists’ inventory of fact, but it is no longer seen as a literal speculum naturae (mirror of nature). Instead, it is recognized as a composite of observation and imagination, pictorial convention and visual acuity. Peter Sutton, M.A. 1975, Ph.D. 1978, Executive Director of the Bruce Museum, in Greenwich, Connecticut, and expert on Northern Baroque painting and Dutch and Flemish art, discusses the...
