Generally, panoramas image modeling is costly and time-consuming because of photographing continuously to capture enough photos along the routes, especially in complicated indoor environment. Thus, difficulty follows for a wider applications of panoramic image modeling for business. It is indispensable to make a feasible arrangement of panorama sites locations because the locations influence the clarity, coverage and the amount of panoramic images under the condition of certain device. This paper is aim to propose a standard procedure to generate the specific location and total amount of panorama sites in indoor panoramas modeling. Firstly, establish the functional relationship between one panorama site and its objectives. Then, apply the relationship to panorama sites network. We propose the Distance Clarity function (<i>F<sub>C</sub></i> and <i>F<sub>e</sub></i>) manifesting the mathematical relationship between panoramas and objectives distance or obstacle distance. The Distance Buffer function (<i>F<sub>B</sub></i>) is modified from traditional buffer method to generate the coverage of panorama site. Secondly, transverse every point in possible area to locate possible panorama site, calculate the clarity and coverage synthetically. Finally select as little points as possible to satiate clarity requirement preferentially and then the coverage requirement. In the experiments, detailed parameters of camera lens are given. Still, more experiments parameters need trying out given that relationship between clarity and distance is device dependent. In short, through the function <i>F<sub>C</sub></i>, <i>F<sub>e</sub></i> and <i>F<sub>B</sub></i>, locations of panorama sites can be generated automatically and accurately.

Our pourpose was to compare the radiographic diagnostics observed in bitewing and panoramic techniques in a sample of 50 adult patients' x-rays, examined by the same observer. On the panoramic it was analyzed the area corresponding bitewings, looking for coincident diagnostics. Furthermore it was evaluated the additional information supplied by panoramic technique. The proportion of coincident diagnostics in panoramic and bitewings was significantly larger suggesting no differences between bitewings and panoramic as a diagnostic resource. When analyzing the area not inclued by bitewings on the panoramic it was found 3,72 diagnostics per patient that would request treatment or follow-up.

Full textAbstract:
While the advancement of visualization technologies—virtual-reality, augmented-reality, mixed-reality, and extended reality—has long produced opportunities to create more realistic simulated environments to provoke and study natural human behavior, recent interest in applying 360° panoramic visualizations has been increasing across several disciplines due to these technologies’ lower costs, higher presence, and greater immersive-ness. However, the variety of applications of 360° panoramas (both images and videos) is limited in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) domain compared to other domains. This paper systematically presents an in-depth understanding of 360° panorama research trends and reveals the challenges and opportunities for future research in the AEC area. In particular, this systematic review analyzed eighty studies across two decades (2000-2022) to consider 360° panoramas’ application areas, methodologies, potential benefits, challenges, best practices, and future research directions for both AEC and non-AEC domains. Several prevalent application domains in AEC—namely architectural studies, construction education and training, construction visualization and progress monitoring, and cognitive analysis and human behavior in the construction industry—were identified. This paper indicates that 360° panoramas provide a higher sense of presence than conventional simulation methods (e.g., virtual reality). Moreover, pairing 360° panorama technologies with a head-mounted display significantly increases immersion when compared with other display options. Lastly, limitations of 360° panoramas, such as cybersickness and technical properties, are discussed. This paper is expected to shed light on the potential of these state-of-the-art technologies in the AEC domain, which can serve both academia and industry.

This paper presents some techniques for constructing panoramic image stitching from sequences of images captured by cameras from different angle in garment defects detecting area. The image stitching representation associates a transformation matrix with each input image. In this paper, we formulate stitching as a multi-image matching problem, and use invariant local features to find matches between all of the images. Our method is insensitive to the ordering, orientation, scale and illumination of the input images. It is also insensitive to noise images that are not part of a panorama, and can recognise multiple panoramas in an unordered image dataset. An improved SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm was used to locate the feature points in the scanned images targeting at the problem of automatically stitching of textile images which were scanned in divided pieces. RANSAC (random sample consensus) method is proposed to to estimate image transformation parameters and to find a solution that has the best consensus with the data. Techniques for estimating and rening camera focal lengths are also presented. In order to reduce accumulated registration errors, we apply global alignment (block adjustment) to the whole sequence of images, which results in an optimally registered image stitching. A local alignment technique is also developed which warps each image based on the results of pairwise local image registrations to compensate for small amounts of motion parallax introduced by translations of the camera and other unmodeled distortions.

Full textAbstract:
The traditional image stitching result based on the SIFT feature points extraction, to a certain extent, has distortion errors. The panorama, especially, would get more seriously distorted when compositing a panoramic result using a long image sequence. To achieve the goal of creating a high-quality panorama, the improved algorithm is proposed in this paper, including altering the way of selecting the reference image and putting forward a method that can compute the transformation matrix for any image of the sequence to align with the reference image in the same coordinate space. Additionally, the improved stitching method dynamically selects the next input image based on the number of SIFT matching points. Compared with the traditional stitching process, the improved method increases the number of matching feature points and reduces SIFT feature detection area of the reference image. The experimental results show that the improved method can not only accelerate the efficiency of image stitching processing, but also reduce the panoramic distortion errors, and finally we can obtain a pleasing panoramic result.

Full textAbstract:
Localization method based on skyline for visual geo-location is an important auxiliary localization method that does not use a satellite positioning system. Due to the computational complexity, existing panoramic skyline localization methods determine a small area using prior knowledge or auxiliary sensors. After correcting the camera orientation using inertial navigation sensors, a fine position is achieved via the skyline. In this paper, a new panoramic skyline localization method is proposed that involves the following. By clustering the sampling points in the location area and improving the existing retrieval method, the computing efficiency of the panoramic skyline localization is increased by fourfold. Furthermore, the camera orientation is estimated accurately from the terrain features in the image. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves higher localization accuracy and requires less computation for a large area without the aid of external sensors.

Panorama Residence housing which has an area of 8000 m2 is located in a plain area with a slope of about 0-1%. The survey results on the Panorama Residence Housing, Cemengkalang Village, Sidoarjo District, have an elevation of -0.20 m, slightly above the flood level – 0.30 m. This area has a high probability of flooding due to overflow from the Pucang River, which runs off (run-off water) from other areas if it rains with high intensity. Moreover, the Panorama Residence area is a dense residential area with roads and parking lots, so rainwater has a smaller chance of infiltrating and running off. After analysis, The flood discharge at the 25-year return period on the Pucang River was 72,561 m3/sec. At the same time, the cross-sectional capacity of the Pucang River was 64,402 m3/sec, so the cross-section of the Pucang River at the Panorama Residence Housing location experienced overflow. The run-off volume is 102.6 m3, while the total capacity is 565.68 m3, so the extended storage capacity is quite adequate. In rainy conditions, t = 30 minutes, the run-off volume that occurs = 30.96 m3, and the total channel length = 493.12 m, the total drainage channel capacity = 184.92 m3 is greater than the run-off volume, 30.96 m3.

Full textAbstract:
The release of Google Street View in 2007 inspired several new panoramic street-level imagery platforms including Apple Look Around, Bing StreetSide, Baidu Total View, Tencent Street View, Naver Street View, and Yandex Panorama. The ever-increasing global capture of cities in 360° provides considerable new opportunities for data-driven urban research. This paper provides the first comprehensive, state-of-the-art review on the use of street-level imagery for urban analysis in five research areas: built environment and land use; health and wellbeing; natural environment; urban modelling and demographic surveillance; and area quality and reputation. Panoramic street-level imagery provides advantages in comparison to remotely sensed imagery and conventional urban data sources, whether manual, automated, or machine learning data extraction techniques are applied. Key advantages include low-cost, rapid, high-resolution, and wide-scale data capture, enhanced safety through remote presence, and a unique pedestrian/vehicle point of view for analyzing cities at the scale and perspective in which they are experienced. However, several limitations are evident, including limited ability to capture attribute information, unreliability for temporal analyses, limited use for depth and distance analyses, and the role of corporations as image-data gatekeepers. Findings provide detailed insight for those interested in using panoramic street-level imagery for urban research.

É possível identificar os benefícios socioeconômicos promovidos pela conservação da biodiversidade através dos serviços ambientais que uma Unidade de Conservação pode prover. É exequível traduzi-los em valores econômicos e assim demonstrar, quantitativamente, o papel significativo dessas áreas naturais protegidas. A literatura especializada em Economia do Meio Ambiente aponta a contribuição da valoração econômica ambiental para a formulação de políticas públicas responsivas à essas áreas naturais protegidas, quando os atores envolvidos em um processo decisório detêm informações sobre os bens e serviços ambientais que essas áreas oferecem à sociedade. Neste âmbito, as Unidades de Conservação podem ser consideradas peças-chaves para promover os estudos de valoração econômica ambiental, tais estudos podem contribuir com aportes a uma percepção social sobre a prioridade de criar medidas relacionadas à conservação dos benefícios ambientais contidos nessas áreas. Desse modo, o presente trabalho objetivou apresentar um panorama das iniciativas voltadas para a valoração econômica ambiental em Unidades de Conservação no contexto brasileiro, com ênfase para o Estado de São Paulo. A fim de alcançar este objetivo foram analisadas: i) a inserção da valoração econômica ambiental na agenda de pesquisa sobre as Unidades de Conservação brasileiras e ii) a inserção da valoração econômica ambiental nos Planos de Manejo das Unidades de Conservação estaduais de São Paulo. Para tanto, foi realizado um levantamento das publicações acadêmicas brasileiras sobre a temática, a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica sistemática e da análise qualitativa documental, com base na consulta dos Planos de Manejo das Unidades de Conservação estaduais de São Paulo, assim como, entrevistas com atores e instituições responsáveis pela gerência dessas áreas. O resultado permite traçar um panorama geral sobre a agenda de pesquisa, assim como, a inserção desta temática nos Planos de Manejo das Unidades de Conservação paulistas. Foi possível identificar a incipiência das iniciativas voltadas para a valoração econômica ambiental em Unidades de Conservação em ambos contextos. Em relação à agenda de pesquisa brasileira foi possível revelar a preferência da adoção metodológica de valoração advinda do mainstream neoclássico, assim como a disparidade dos estudos entre as categorias de manejo das Unidades de Conservação e entre os biomas brasileiros, prevalecendo aqueles considerados hotspots mundiais de biodiversidade. No planejamento das Unidades de Conservação paulistas, verificou-se um número ínfimo de Planos de Manejo que fazem menção à valoração econômica ambiental, além disso, não foi identificada nenhuma proposta metodológica para a implementação de programas ou projetos relacionados ao tema nessas áreas naturais protegidas. Ademais, não foi identificada uma ascensão da temática ao longo dos períodos analisados, tanto na agenda de pesquisa brasileira quanto nos Planos de Manejo das UCs estaduais de São Paulo.The benefits of biodiversity conservation can be identified through the ecosystem services that a protected area may provide. It is feasible to translate such benefits into economic values and thus, demonstrate quantitatively the significant role of these protected natural areas. Economics of the Environment\'s literature points out the economic valuation of the environmental contribution to the formulation of responsive public policies for these protected natural areas when the involved actors in a decision-making process hold information about the environmental goods and services that these areas provide to the society. In this context, the protected areas can be considered key pieces to promote the studies of environmental economic valuation, which may contribute to a social perception about the priority of creating measures related to the conservation of the environmental benefits contained in these areas. Hence, this study aimed to present an overview of initiatives focused on environmental economic valuation of protected areas in the Brazilian\'s context with emphasis on the State of São Paulo. In order to achieve this goal these items were analyzed: i) the incorporation of environmental economic valuation on the research agenda on Brazilian protected areas and ii) the inclusion of environmental economic valuation in state management plans of protected areas of São Paulo. For the sake of this objective, we conducted a survey of Brazilian academic publications on the subject relying on a systematic literature review and documentary qualitative analysis, counting on the consultation of management plans of protected São Paulo\'s state areas, as well as interviews with actors and institutions responsible for the management of these areas. The result allows us to draw an overview of the research agenda as well as the inclusion of this issue in the Management Plans of Sao Paulo protected areas. It was possible to identify the incipient initiatives focused on environmental economic valuation of protected areas in both contexts. Regarding the Brazilian research agenda was possible to reveal the preference of adoption of methodological arising valuation of the neoclassical mainstream, as well as the gap between studies of the categories of management of protected areas, among biomes, prevailing those considered the world\'s biodiversity hotspots. In the of Sao Paulo protected areas, there was a very small number of Management Plans that make mention of environmental economic valuation, moreover, did not identify any methodological proposal for the implementation of programs or projects related to the theme in these protected natural areas. Moreover, it has no obvious rise of the theme over the period analyzed, both on the Brazilian research agenda and in the Management Plans of the state of São Paulo UCs.

Ourproposedmethodologyfor path selection of tourist vehicle based on two parameter: link steep probability which is based on steep angle and steep cost of link. If Ant want to go from node i to node j then first of all it will compare all value of steep probability and steep cost,the value which is very less as compare to other values then this min value link will be selected by ant and Pheromone rate on this link will be more as compare to others links. This modification in previous methodology will surely increase the performance of our algorithm ,hence this algorithm has given better optimal route for tourist with less time, cost and energy consumption as well as tourist requirements.

Image-based virtual reality (Image-Base VR) Panoramic has been used in multimedia displays, including home sales, National Scenic display or store interior displays. Unfortunately most of them rely on PC flash, not applying website design to leisure agricultural websites, or use mobile device supported platform to enhance the availability of leisure agriculture web services. This research mainly uses "Hillside Leisure Agriculture Area" as case study, constructs a network information platform that works for both desktop computer and mobile devices. In the research, there are examples of spots using 720-degree panorama image-based virtual reality, with HTML5, CSS3. They bring viewers immerse experience with visual panorama in addition to the the original page view, so the IT service of leisure agriculture area can be more complete and more comprehensive.

This thesis presents a panorama stitching system using only one single capturing device to capture 360° scenery of the surrounding environment to create an environment map for the uses of vision localization. Basically, there are mainly three parts in the panorama stitching system, consisting of overlapping area estimation, image plane projection, and image stitching. Instead of assuming that the overlapping area is kept constant for every two adjacent images, the overlapping area is estimated and further refined by using matched SURF feature pairs. By doing this, the dependency of the system on capturing device setup and its motion model estimation can be reduced, thus resulting it to become a more robust system. To consider an environment with highly symmetric or repeated features, the regional SURF feature detection is applied to lower down the fault error during SURF feature matching. To reduce distortion within the resulting panorama image, the overlapping area weighted image plane projection is used to successfully create a panorama image. Furthermore, to prevent ghost effect during stitching panorama image, the dynamic programming algorithm is used to find an optimal path to stitch two adjacent images. The proposed algorithm has been tested at indoor and outdoor environments. Related qualitative and quantitative results will be analyzed in detail.

The mainly marketing and ways of expansion in the aspect of traditional tourism spots are mostly print photographs and the websites of mass media, and this non-interactive ways of marketing can’t provide more information to the tourists. There have been a few operators who implement way of Panorama photographing to the introduction of the scenic spots in recent years, but the images which the operators only make 360 degrees photograph and assemble the pieces of them are needed to one by one choose the scenic spots and then to open the images to watch. This kind of way lacks of the function of the route tour. For the time, the revealing ways of Virtual Reality are mainly based on these two major types. One is 3D model-based way, and the other is Imaged-based Panorama. The 3D model-based and the way of displaying have been more mature and are generally applied to the Virtual Reality nowadays. However, its cost and the threshold of the technique are too high to use. Therefore, the 3D model-based way can’t easily be popularized. On the other hand, the technique of image-based Panorama has been similarly mature day by day. Its cost and the threshold of the technique are low and it can be produced quickly, so it will reach the effects of making viewers to ingrate into the true environment. This research makes use of 720 degrees Panorama photographing to carry out the photographing, and it collocate the geographic spaces fixed position of photographic stations. Therefore, it uses each photographic station to produce the route link to complete the entire district guide system and it put the whole guide system to frame on the Internet publicly. This can make the users have the access to enter into the guide system to do a interactive guide in order to reach the introduction of scenic spots and the tourism marketing. This research is based on the range of Guantzuling area. It builds two sets of Panorama guide system of Guantzuling area with Google Map API technique and Flash VR technique respectively to satisfy various types of online platforms or operation systems, such as system of iPhone and Android.

Full textAbstract:
Ogni azienda che si riconosca socialmente responsabile deve occuparsi dello sviluppo delle carriere dei propri dipendenti da due punti di vista: quello individuale e personale e quello professionale. La carriera all’interno di un’azienda coinvolge, infatti, la persona in quanto individuo con un proprio carattere e una precisa identità e la persona in quanto lavoratore con un bagaglio specifico di conoscenze e competenze.
L’azienda ha, quindi, il compito di promuovere carriere professionalmente stimolanti che si sviluppino in linea con i suoi stessi valori, la sua visione e la sua missione.
Nel panorama moderno, aziende che sviluppano la propria idea di business nel rispetto dei lavoratori proponendo loro un percorso di crescita, si mostrano senza dubbio lungimiranti.
Un tale approccio, però, non basta a far sì che vengano definite socialmente responsabili. I fattori della Responsabilità Sociale d’Impresa sono infatti numerosi e, ad oggi, uno dei problemi principali da affrontare è quello del progressivo invecchiamento della popolazione. Dal momento che la forza lavoro mondiale sta invecchiando e che si sta rispondendo al problema spostando la linea del pensionamento, tutte le aziende sono obbligate a mantenere le persone il più a lungo possibile attive e motivate a lavoro.
L’età è spesso visto come un fattore di diversità e di discriminazione, ma nello sviluppare la mia argomentazione, cercherò di dimostrare che una politica del lavoro che supporti l’idea dell’invecchiamento attivo può trasformare questo fattore da limite in opportunità.
Il rispetto degli esseri umani, a prescindere dalle differenze legate all’età, dovrebbe essere uno dei valori fondanti di ogni impresa.
Nel primo capitolo della tesi, svilupperò il tema della dignità umana così come è stato concepito a partire dalla filosofia greca fino alla modernità. La dignità intesa come valore ontologico, legato all’essenza dell’uomo, diventerà con Kant il fattore di uguaglianza tra tutti gli esseri viventi, la giustificazione del rispetto reciproco.
Il concetto di dignità verrà, poi, definito nel secondo capitolo come il principale valore che deve ispirare l’azione sociale delle imprese, come l’elemento che garantisce il rispetto di ogni dipendente che prima ancora di essere un lavoratore è un essere umano. La dignità è ciò che rende l’essere umano degno di essere considerato un fine in se stesso piuttosto che un mezzo per il raggiungimento di un fine esterno.
Nell’era della globalizzazione, dove il denaro è il valore principale, gli esseri umani rischiano di diventare un mezzo al servizio dell’economia. A questo punto, il rispetto della dignità deve divenire il fondamento di un ambiente di lavoro che promuove la crescita e la fioritura dell’essere umano.
Nel secondo capitolo cercherò quindi di dimostrare come l’idea di dignità possa promuovere un management “umanistico” centrato sul rispetto dell’essere umano.
Un’impresa socialmente responsabile può promuovere il rispetto di ogni lavoratore se fa propri i valori di dignità e uguaglianza. Attraverso la teoria dello Humanistic Management che veicola tali valori, il lavoro diventa un luogo in cui l’uomo può esprimere se stesso, la sua identità, le sue conoscenze e competenze. Inoltre, dal momento che la popolazione sta invecchiando, le aziende devono farsi carico della forza lavoro più anziana, come è emerso sopra.
A questo punto, nel terzo capitolo, il concetto della Responsabilità Sociale d’Impresa sarà analizzato nel suo legame con i temi dell’invecchiamento attivo e della diversità sul posto di lavoro. Conosciamo diverse ragioni di differenza a lavoro: genere, cultura, etnia, competenze, ma qui ci concentreremo sul fattore età.
È naturale che i lavoratori anziani abbiano un’idea di lavoro diversa da quella dei giovani e che le loro abilità siano differenti. Ma questa diversità non deve essere valutata come migliore o peggiore: essa dipende da fattori che analizzeremo e che l’impresa socialmente responsabile conosce e valorizza per creare un ambiente di lavoro stimolante e collaborativo, eliminando possibili conflitti intergenerazionali.
Alcune delle teorie che permettono di raggiungere tali obiettivi sono il Diversity Management e l’Age Management: ogni impresa può promuovere pratiche per valorizzare gli anziani, permettendo loro di rimanere più a lungo attivi e proattivi a lavoro e di condividere le proprie conoscenze e competenze.
L’ultimo capitolo della tesi si concentrerà su un caso di azienda italiana che ha sviluppato uno strumento di valorizzazione di collaboratori over 65.
Sto parlando della Loccioni, presso cui ho svolto la ricerca applicata e che promuove il progetto Silverzone, un network di persone in pensione che hanno conosciuto l’azienda nel corso della loro carriera e che continuano a collaborare con essa ancora dopo il pensionamento.
Per capire l’impatto qualitativo e quantitativo che il progetto ha sull’azienda, ho portato avanti un’analisi qualitativa dei dati ottenuti grazie a due tipi di questionari.
Il primo ha visto il coinvolgimento dei 16 managers della Loccioni a cui sono state sottoposte le seguenti domande:
1. Chi sono i silver nella tua area di business? Quali i progetti in cui essi sono coinvolti?
2. Qual è il valore del loro supporto per l’azienda? E, allo stesso tempo, quali sono le difficoltà che possono incontrarsi durante queste collaborazioni?
3. Qual è la frequenza degli incontri con i silver?
4. Perché l’azienda ha bisogno di questo network?
Successivamente, ho sottoposto un altro questionario agli 81 silver della rete. Di seguito i dettagli:
1. Qual è il tuo nome?
2. Dove sei nato?
3. Dove vivi?
4. Qual è stato il tuo percorso formativo?
5. Qual è stata la tua carriera professionale?
6. Come e con chi è avvenuto il primo contatto Loccioni?
7. Come sei venuto a conoscenza del progetto Silverzone?
8. Con quali dei collaboratori Loccioni stai lavorando?
9. In quali progetti sei coinvolto?
10. Potresti descrivere il progetto in tre parole?
11. Che significato ha per te fare parte di questa rete?
12. Nella tua opinione, come deve essere il Silver?

Il volume raccoglie i risultati della prima campagna di survey effettuata dall’Università Ca’ Foscari nel sito di Altino, in località Ghiacciaia, un’ampia area di proprietà demaniale che corrisponde alla parte nord-orientale dell’abitato della città antica. Si tratta quindi di uno dei pochi interventi sistematici sull’area urbana, rimasta sino ad ora ai margini delle ricerche sulla città veneta. I docenti, i dottorandi e gli studenti coinvolti affrontano sia temi generali – dalla storia degli studi sull’area alle tecniche di ricognizione – sia il ricco materiale emerso nel corso della ricognizione, fornendone un basilare inquadramento tipologico e cronologico. L’indagine archeologica e la ricerca scientifica che in questi ultimi decenni hanno interessato l’area altinate mettono sempre più in luce la rilevanza del sito, che si impone come uno dei luoghi nodali nel panorama veneto dalla prima età del Ferro fino all’età tardoantica, indissolubilmente legato alla nascita di Torcello e quindi all’origine di Venezia.

In the sphere of the vast panorama of international studies on the family in the pre-industrial age, the 11th Study Week promoted by the Fondazione Datini explored the economic role played by the members of this fundamental group in the survival and evolution of society. Developing over the course of five centuries, and examining the peculiarities proper to the different geographical areas of Europe, the studies collected in this book analyse economic strategies aimed at generating and perpetuating financial and property fortunes, or even simply at protecting and preserving the family group. They also address the articulated economic functions which the various components performed within the family, and the manner in which such strategies integrated and interacted in a complex context of different entities and social brackets. Within this framework, the book presents not just a series of new studies on the individual family groups, but above all is intended to underscore the important collective function of the family, which played a significant role in the growth, stasis or decline of the societies of pre-industrial Europe.

Full textAbstract:
The research aims to analyse the concept of the 'holiday home' in Italy, a phenomenon that is not very well known and not given sufficient visibility in the tourism sector. The objective is to grasp the role and the degree of response that the holiday homes can offer in order to consolidate a genuinely social and sustainable tourism, which is the specific feature of the Associazione di Promozione Sociale Santa Lucia. The holiday homes represent an efficacious response to the emerging motivations for travel and a new sensitivity towards social and sustainable tourism. The growing opportunities for this sector call for reflection on the mission and future positioning of the holiday homes within the tourist reception panorama, with the deriving choices relating to: the offer, consisting of values more than of services; the functions fulfilled, intimately bound up with the demands of the individual and the territory; the quality of the service, which is not generic but linked to the functions and can be measured in line with objective and subjective parameters. Strategic awareness, managerial capacity and elevated professionalism at all levels are the factors of legitimisation and success of this original reception formula.

AbstractIn recent years, big data entered use in various fields. Google Street View (hereinafter called “GSV”) can be regarded as open big data, and its images can be obtained using API. The streets can be viewed 360° horizontally and 290° vertically from each point on the web. In addition to those, zooming up is available, and the viewpoint can be moved approximately 10 m forward or backward to/from the current point. The original image to provide the view is the panoramic image associated with the latitude and longitude information on the street consecutively at intervals of 10 m, and they exist as massive data on the web. We determine the area of the sky using these images from GSV. In this research, we calculate the sky view factor (hereinafter called “SVF”) in an extended area by defining the area of the sky with the SVF and utilizing the computer.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter investigates the historical permutations of those areas that come closest to qualifying as lesbian and gay neighborhoods in Antwerp, the largest city in Flanders (the northern, Dutch-speaking part of Belgium). Although Antwerp has come to be represented as the “gay capital” of Flanders, it never developed a full-fledged gay neighborhood in the Anglo-American tradition of the concept. The clustering of sexual minorities in the city has been limited largely to the economic, social, and cultural business of (nightlife) entertainment, with lesbian and gay meeting places historically concentrating in particular neighborhoods that, moreover, have shifted over time and dissipated again. The chapter’s fine-grained analysis intends to reveal geographic, social, and cultural specificities for which a more detailed understanding of both the Antwerp and the Belgian contexts is necessary. Its tripartite structure is shaped by the specific heuristic conditions set by it. Because the larger historical context for the investigated subject remains to be written, the chapter first undertakes a substantial and panoramic survey of the emergence of gay nightlife in Antwerp during the early half of the twentieth century. This provides the framework needed for a more detailed analysis in the second part, which zooms in on an area in the immediate vicinity of the Central Station and takes as its emblematic focus one sufficiently long-term and iconic gay bar, called Café Strange. Finally, the chapter zooms out again to sketch how even such a limited gay nightlife cluster in Antwerp has evaporated again in the course of the twenty-first century, leaving a landscape that is hard to map and largely virtual.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter suggests the possibility of macroanalysis across versions. The focus on big data, distant reading and macroanalysis in Digital Humanities seems to have the immediate effect that close reading is forced into an antonymous position and non-digital literary studies or Literaturwissenschaft suddenly look provincial in comparison. But not all traditional forms of literary studies are microscopic or focused on close reading, and vice versa, not all digital forms of literary studies are macroscopic or panoramic. The suggested approach sees genetic editing as a negotiation between micro- and macroanalysis, paying attention to passages that never made it into the published texts.

AbstractThe clinical evaluation of the face is the most important aspect of evaluating patients with dentofacial deformities. The clinical examination is the primary determinant in making a diagnosis and developing a treatment plan. The basic treatment goals are: establishment of orofacial function, ensure stability of results, achieve facial esthetics and to consider the patency of the airway. The systematic clinical examination is divided into five basic evaluations: the frontal view, the profile view, three quarter view, an occlusal assessment and the temporomandibular joint evaluation. The clinical diagnosis is then confirmed with special investigations such as panoramic, lateral and anteroposterior cephalometric radiographs and other investigations as required. A dental, skeletal and soft tissue problem list is then noted and orthodontic and surgical solutions integrated into a final treatment plan. A cephalometric radiographic tracing or a 3D virtual treatment planning system is finally used to measure the planned surgical movements and to visualize the expected treatment results.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has been stressful for everyone and even more so for hard-working healthcare professionals. Contemporary hospitals are now endowed with environmental attributes that contribute to achieving well-being within their environment. However, these attributes tend to be focused on the patient and their experience. This paper examines these issues and describes the attributes of the physical environment that support healthcare professional’s well-being. Within a constructivist approach, the study was conducted in two care units in a mega hospital in Canada, before the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collection includes a spatial evaluation of these care units, healthcare professionals’ spatial behavior, and 44 semi-structured interviews with various healthcare professionals, completed by the mental images. Thematic analysis and triangulation of the data set were conducted. Key attributes identified as promoting healthcare professionals’ well-being include light-color in care units, corridors and public areas of the hospital, and the cleanliness and art elements. Furthermore, panoramic views from the staff lounge, corridors, or elevator lobbies provide access to daylighting. This study highlights the importance of providing healthcare professionals break areas that allow them to find respite, particularly during periods of extreme stress such as COVID-19 pandemic.

AbstractThe need for the existence of biobanks for health research purposes is something of which government authorities have been aware for several years. One year after the full entry into force of the GDPR, the Portuguese legislature has finally passed the law that ensures the full implementation of the data protection regime’s points left open by the European legislature. However, Portugal has also in place a range of legislation regulating the establishment and functioning of biobanks. The regulation of biobanks for research purposes imposes special protection duties on scientific research activity in which biological samples and associated data are used in order to guarantee protection of privacy and confidentiality.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCities, and with them the criticalities and opportunities that characterize urban contexts, are one of the main challenges in the transition toward environmental and social sustainability today. Within the contemporary debate dominated by reflections on the effects of climate change, the culture of design is increasingly oriented to measure itself against the concept of resilience: the limitation of land consumption, together with the technological, functional and energetic reorganization of areas and buildings, is the path taken by design to make the built environment adaptable to the changes taking place, so as to promote development, equity and social inclusion. Public space, defined as a system of open urban spaces, is assuming an increasingly important role in urban and environmental regeneration processes. At the same time, the topic of sport and the public infrastructure of cities for practicing physical activity is an increasingly important factor for urban and social quality, requiring strategies capable of redefining places and the way they are used in line with objectives of environmental quality and collective well-being. The picture that emerges from studies and research on the European and Italian panorama of sport infrastructures highlights interesting and innovative trends that show, also in this sector, an increasing focus on the themes of urban, architectural and social resilience. On the basis of this premise, the contribution aims to analyze the recent evolution of the design of public space in relation to sports practices as an area where resilience policies are applied.

Full textAbstract:
The vehicle panoramic scanning imaging system has the characteristics of single-camera splicing imaging and 360∘ full field view, while the traditional electronic image stabilization algorithm only applies to random camera vibration. In this regard, this paper uses the distance transform algorithm to extract the obvious area of the distance feature for template matching, and cooperates with the image pyramid to accelerate the matching. Finally, in the image fusion stage, the linear weighted fusion algorithm is used to obtain the final stitched panoramic image. Experimental results show that the algorithm used in this paper improves the image stabilization quality and takes into account the speed of image stitching, making the human eye more comfortable and stable when observing the video sequence target. This algorithm basically meets the needs of engineering applications and provides a guarantee for subsequent target detection and positioning.

Full textAbstract:
Geomonitoring of rockfalls and landslides is increasingly carried out by solutions that integrate different geomatics techniques to provide quickly 3D point clouds or models that are required to be rigorously in the same reference system. Methods based on remote sensing such as terrestrial laser scanning or photogrammetry need precise ground control, which is usually provided by means of geodetic surveys. However, when the study area is large with strong limitations due to particular orography, those geodetic techniques cannot always grant accurate target points optimally distributed within the monitored object, and only an external reference frame is available to provide absolute orientation to those 3D point clouds or models. In that case, terrestrial photogrammetry shows clear advantages compared to terrestrial laser scanning. Still, it may require a large number of high-quality images taken from well-distributed stations, thus hampering the desired fast data collection. A possible alternative to cope with this problem is the use of the panoramic photogrammetry method by using robotic devices like Gigapan along with a systematic collection procedure from stable stations of a reference frame whose coordinates are accurate and well-controlled. This contribution describes an experiment conducted in Cortes de Pallás (Spain), where an existing infrastructure consisting of 10 pillars and 15 check points is annually monitored at millimetric level, to investigate the potential of long-range panoramic photogrammetry as applied to deformation monitoring. The panoramic images were taken from 7 selected pillars using the Gigapan robotic device. The accuracy of oriented panoramic images, the performance of the method in long-ranges (500-1000 m), and the consistency with the geodetic techniques in the 15 check points were analyzed. Finally, some conclusions about the suitability of panoramic photogrammetry as applied to long-range deformation monitoring are drawn.

Full textAbstract:
<p>With the improvement of the informatization and digitization of bridge structures, the importance of technologies such as Building Information Modeling(BIM) and computer vision is constantly increasing. This type of technology all relies on a scan of the structure's appearance. However, based on the principle of optical imaging, there is a contradiction between imaging field of view(FOV) and pixel resolution. Therefore, the existing apparent detection or scanning technology either uses lower pixel resolution to obtain the structured apparent image at the panoramic scale, or a series of scattered high-resolution images in a local area, which has caused two aspect of defects in the detection of apparent damage. On the one hand, low-resolution image data has an adverse effect on the accuracy of deep learning or machine vision models. On the other hand, due to the single surface texture of concrete materials, the number of feature points is scarce in image processing, which reduces the stability of the image stitching algorithm based on feature points. These problems make the apparent images collected in the current inspection work cannot be well applied to the long-term evolution analysis of apparent damage. In order to achieve high-resolution imaging within the panoramic range of the structure, we propose a panoramic image stitching method. Firstly, the traditional single-view imaging is extended to multi-view imaging, and the result images are used for panoramic stitching. Because the feature information in a single image is greatly increased, the stability of the image stitching algorithm based on feature point matching has also been greatly improved. Secondly, through experiments, we determine the number of cameras with the highest efficiency for this novel panoramic image stitching method. Lastly, based on real bridge image data, we evaluate and compare several image stitching algorithms in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and robustness. The experimental results show that this panoramic image stitching method can be well adapted to the apparent scanning task of large-scale components in concrete bridges, and is meaningful for the standardization and automatic acquisition of structural appearance images.</p>

California: International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.24963/ijcai.2023/125.
Full textAbstract:
As an important and challenging problem in computer vision, PAnoramic Semantic Segmentation (PASS) gives complete scene perception based on an ultra-wide angle of view. Usually, prevalent PASS methods with 2D panoramic image input focus on solving image distortions but lack consideration of the 3D properties of original 360 degree data. Therefore, their performance will drop a lot when inputting panoramic images with the 3D disturbance. To be more robust to 3D disturbance, we propose our Spherical Geometry-Aware Transformer for PAnoramic Semantic Segmentation (SGAT4PASS), considering 3D spherical geometry knowledge. Specifically, a spherical geometry-aware framework is proposed for PASS. It includes three modules, i.e., spherical geometry-aware image projection, spherical deformable patch embedding, and a panorama-aware loss, which takes input images with 3D disturbance into account, adds a spherical geometry-aware constraint on the existing deformable patch embedding, and indicates the pixel density of original 360 degree data, respectively. Experimental results on Stanford2D3D Panoramic datasets show that SGAT4PASS significantly improves performance and robustness, with approximately a 2% increase in mIoU, and when small 3D disturbances occur in the data, the stability of our performance is improved by an order of magnitude. Our code and supplementary material are available at https://github.com/TencentARC/SGAT4PASS.

Full textAbstract:
Rapid development of modern technology and its increasing complexity make high demands to the quality of training of its users. Among others, an important class is vehicles, both civil and military. In the teaching of associated subjects, the accepted hierarchy of teaching aids includes common visual aids (posters, videos, scale models etc.) on the first stage, followed by simulators ranging in complexity, and finished at real vehicles. It allows achieving some balance between cost and efficiency by partial replacement of more expensive and elaborated aids with the less expensive ones. However, the analysis of teaching experience in the Military Institute of Armored Forces of National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” (Institute) reveals that the balance is still suboptimal, and the present teaching aids are still not enough to allow efficient teaching. This fact raises the problem of extending the range of available teaching aids for vehicle-related subjects, which is the aim of the work. Benefiting from the modern information and visualization technologies, we present a new teaching aid that constitutes a spherical (360° or 3D) photographic panorama and a Virtual Reality (VR) device. The nature of the aid, its potential applications, limitations and benefits in comparison to the common aids are discussed. The proposed aid is shown to be cost-effective and is proved to increase efficiency of training, according to the results of a teaching experiment that was carried out in the Institute. For the implementation, a tight collaboration between the Institute and an IT company “Innovative Distance Learning Systems Limited” was established. A series of panoramas, which are already available, and its planned expansions are presented. The authors conclude that the proposed aid may significantly improve the cost-efficiency balance of teaching a range of technology subjects.

Full textAbstract:
This paper introduces a dataset that gathers information on whether and how Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have complied with or deviated from implemented fiscal rules. It provides annual data on fiscal rules for 14 LAC countries from 2000 to 2020, and it considers the design features of the rules and information about numerical compliance. It provides descriptive statistics reflecting the panorama of the fiscal rules implemented in LAC countries. Additionally, it calculates compliance rates across countries, years, and rules. On average, this study finds that compliance with rules aiming to constrain debt ratios and structural balances is the highest, while compliance with fiscal balance and expenditure rules is the lowest. Furthermore, the data collection process revealed that LAC countries still have room for discretion even when they subject their fiscal policy to rules. To address this problem, the paper proposes an adjusted compliance index that considers different elements that add degrees of discretion to the rule. The study finds that the numerical compliance rates of each country are likely to be over-estimated once discretionary actions are accounted for.
