This paper examines the use of the Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) and related techniques to reconstruct 3D objects from a relatively sparse set of cone-beam projections. Although ART has been widely used for cone-beam reconstruction of high-contrast objects, e.g. in computed angiography, the work presented here explores the more challenging low-contrast case which represents a little ...

Scenes The visual question-answering task requires a variety of skills. The machine must be able to understand the image, interpret the question, and reason about the answer. For many researchers exploring AI, they may not be interested in exploring the low-level tasks involved with perception and computer vision. Many of the questions may even be impossible to solve given the current capabilit...

This paper introduces the idea of personalised acoustic fashion objects for performance art and the value of on-going performance-based research to progressively develop unique wearable devices for individual performers, that increase the scope of artistic expression and audio-visual spectacle. We investigate methodologies associated with acoustic fashion objects (novel body-centric musical ins...

Informative art is computer augmented, or amplified, works of art that not only are aesthetical objects but also information displays, in as much as they dynamically reflect information about their environment. Informative art can be seen as a kind of slow technology, i.e. a technology that promotes moments of concentration and reflection. Our aim is to present the design space of informative a...

This paper presents the Indiana Ontology for modeling the knowledge about Mount Bego’s rock art and its exploitation in the IndianaMAS project. Although many projects use ontologies for semantic processing of cultural heritage digital objects, we are not aware of such ontologies in the rock art domain. Also, the Indiana Ontology is fully and seamlessly integrated with the IndianaMAS framework c...

The treasure of the Essen cathedral in Germany is one of the few collections of medieval art completely preserved in the course of history, including approximately 250 objects such as crosses, crowns, swords, statues, manuscripts, and reliquaries. These precious works of art show a great variety in size, shape, material, and complexity. In the paper, ideas and concepts for recording the manifol...

rtists and scientists express their understanding of sexual behavior differently. Artists use visual and spatial composition; scientists use collection, analysis, and interpretation of data. However, both art and science are testaments to the creative ability of the human mind. Scholarly work that combines art and science is often delightful. Many biomedical journals, including the Journal of t...
