Visual Analytics prototypes increasingly support human sensemaking through providing Provenance information. For data analysts the challenge of knowledge generation starts with assessing the quality of a data set, but Provenance is not yet utilized to aid this task. This position paper aims at characterizing the complexity of Visual Analytics methods introducing Provenance in Data Quality by hi...

The evolution of advanced radio transmission technologies for third generation mobile radio systems has paved the way for the delivery of mobile multimedia services. In particular, wireless image and video applications are among the most popular services offered on modern mobile devices to support communication beyond the traditional voice services. The large amount of data necessary to represe...

In Japan, many infrastructures are several decades old or more, and since those structures are gradually deteriorating, efficient and precise monitoring methods are strongly required for maintaining safety. In particular, tunnels on highways must be monitored regularly; however, frequent traffic restrictions should be avoided. Accordingly, visual inspection of tunnels from a moving vehicle is a...

In developing countries, it is common to site (or locate) industries without environmental impact assessment. In this study the impacts of two food processing industries on land use and land capability, noise and vibration, environmentally sensitive areas and visual quality as environmental elements were investigated. The research method adopted was the investigative survey research approach (I...

the video quality assessment must be adapted to the human visual system, which is why researchers have performed subjective viewing experiments in order to obtain the conditions of encoding of video systems to provide the best quality to the user. the objective of this study is to assess the video quality using image features extraction without using reference video. rmse values and processing ...

In this paper, we describe the development of a system for evaluating an specific quality characteristic of recycled paper sheets using techniques of image analysis and pattern recognition. We call Bumpiness the phenomenon of interest, which is new in the literature on paper quality. This phenomenon is characterized by the appearance of macroscopic undulations on the paper sheet surface that ma...

Abstract. The realism of VR visualisation is diminished when images look pixelated or forms are faceted instead of smooth. What constitutes acceptable visual quality by viewers? This paper presents the survey results of what is the acceptable visual quality of triangle complexity and texture resolution for full-size VR visualisation on a large screen and serves as a guide to create VR models mo...
