Extending the use of novel anti-graffiti coatings to built heritage could be of particular interest providing the treatments are efficient enough in facilitating graffiti removal and long-lasting to maintain their protective properties without interfering with the durability of the substrates. However, studies of the durability of these coatings are scarce and have been mainly carried out under...

Vandalism is a type of the so-called low intensity crimes. However, the nuisance and damage caused by it could cost dearly to the public to clean up. It is also technically difficult in the past to detect and prosecute such a crime, for example, graffiti making. This paper presents an automatic and live graffiti detection system using CCTV cameras and innovative vision algorithms. After a brief...

Graffiti.pc is a new conjecture-making program, whose design was influenced by the well-known conjecture making program, Graffiti. This paper addresses the motivation for developing the new program and a description, which includes a comparison to the program, Graffiti. The subsequent sections describe the form of conjectures and educational applications of Graffiti.pc to undergraduate research...

This working paper advocates a methodological approach to the study of street art and graffiti that is based on the documentation of single sites over time. Longitudinal photo-documentation is a form of data collection that allows street art and graffiti to be examined as visual dialogue. By capturing everyday forms of public mark making alongside both more recognizably ‘artistic’ images, and m...

The Speech Graffiti interface is designed to be a portable, transparent interface for spoken language interaction with simple machines and information servers. Because it is a subset language, users must learn and adhere to the constraints of the language. We conducted a user study to determine habitability and found that more than 80% of utterances were Speech Graffiti-grammatical, suggesting ...

Art, therefore, cannot be defined without reference to its context. Some studies have shown that context affects the evaluation of art...
