The Future Gaze: City Panoramas as Politico-Emotive Geographies

The Emotive City

The research project is designed to create new ways of looking at the story of a city; the focus is to present elements of the city as an art gallery space. Mapping technologies are used to present information as an aesthetic image. This project will add the emotional context of the moment and location as part of the information aesthetic. The story of a city is an ongoing timeline of interconn...

Recognising Panoramas

The problem considered in this paper is the fully automatic construction of panoramas. Fundamentally, this problem requires recognition, as we need to know which parts of the panorama join up. Previous approaches have used human input or restrictions on the image sequence for the matching step. In this work we use object recognition techniques based on invariant local features to select matchin...

Japanese honorifics as emotive definite descriptions

Harada (1976) identifies honorifics as one of “the salient features of the Japanese language” (p. 500) and provides an extensive overview of pressing syntactic issues surrounding this system. But he remains noncommittal about the semantic contribution of these morphemes; the question of what honorifics mean, what they contribute to a discourse, is left unanswered. The present paper offers an an...

Motion Panoramas

In this paper we describe a method for analysing video sequences and for representing them as mosaics or panoramas. Previous work on video mosaicking essentially concentrated on static scenes. We generalise these approaches to the case of a rotating camera observing both static and moving objects where the static portions of the scene are not necessarily dominant, as it has been often hypothesi...
