Illustrations provide visual support for transmitting a communication goal with regard to an illustration subject and a target audience. A set of presentation variables exists supporting this task. This set has proven valuable for expressing illustration information. To broaden the spectrum of illustration techniques, this work introduces the notion of dynamic presentations for illustration pur...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2014-209256 DESCRIPTION A 22-year-old primiparous woman was referred for a routine antenatal fetal scan. During the scan multiple intracardiac echogenic tumours were detected at 24 weeks gestation. A smaller mass was visible in the left ventricle while a larger one was s...

In this work, we present an automated system for creating hedcut illustrations, portraits rendered using small image feature aligned dots (stipples). We utilize edge detection and shading cues from the input photograph to direct stipple placement within the image. Both image edges and isophotes are extracted as a means of describing the image feature and shading information. Edge features and i...

Sound is an integral part of most movies and videos. In many situations, viewers of a video are unable to hear the sound track, for example, when watching it in a fast forward mode, viewing it by hearing-impaired viewers or when the plot is given as a storyboard. In this paper, we present an automated visualization solution to such problems. The system first detects the common components (such ...

Digital watermarking is a technique for embedding information into data, such as images, 3D models, or audio files, such that some properties (i. e., security, imperceptibility, robustness) are maintained. While most of the existing watermarking techniques focus on encoding copyright information where security is one of the most important properties, we have developed algorithms for embedding I...

Current interactive modeling systems allow users to view models in wireframe or Phong-shaded images. However, the wireframe is based on the model's parameterization, and a model's features may get lost in a nest of lines. Alone, a fully rendered image may not provide enough useful information about the structure or model features. Human technical illustrators follow certain visual conventions t...

I wish to express my deepest thanks to Doctor María Elena Medina-Mora for the honor of inviting me to give the Ramón de la Fuente Speech for the 26th Annual Research Meeting. It is an honor which also implies great responsibility, as our founder holds, as has been shown on numerous occasions, a very important place within Mexican medicine, and his work continues to be of relevance in the field ...
