Full textAbstract:
The Research Topic and the Need for It: This thesis starts with a review of what the literature says about the importance of corporate image and how it needs to be managed as a strategic asset. However, the problem is there is no model that shows what corporate image comprises and explains how its various components interact with one another so that it can be managed. The result is a number of confusing and contradictory definitions and unproductive discussions about things like whether corporate reputation and corporate image are different or synonymous. In response to this need, it is suggested that corporate image comprises three different image perspectives; namely, Self Image, Projected Image and Perceived Image and that it is only when these are defined separately and regarded holistically that corporate image can be properly defined, understood and managed. Objective: The objective of this research was to develop and test this model using triangulated approaches in which data could be acquired and understood from different sources. To this end questionnaires were developed by document analysis, consultation and discussion. This research was conducted in two very different organisations - a new university campus and a sugar co-operative. In the interests of confidentiality they have been renamed Barton University's Kingsley Campus and Sunstate Sugar Co-operative Association Limited. Data was input into both SPSS and HIPSYS computer programs for the Kingsley Campus research and into HIPSYS for the Sunstate Sugar research. For both research sites the results were discussed with members of all response groups so that accurate interpretations of the data could be made and additional meaningful data acquired. For Kingsley Campus, response groups included all Academic and General Staff of Kingsley Campus for the Self Image and the Projected Image, and for the Perceived Image all Current and Past Students, a representative sample of Grade 12 high school students, advanced diploma students of Kingsley TAFE, and Community Leaders. In all 3,693 questionnaires were distributed and 934 completed questionnaires were processed. For Sunstate Sugar, response groups included all employees for the Self Image separated by Management, Supervisors and Workforce, all Board members and all Employees who interface with the growers (members of the co-operative) for the Projected Image, and all members of the co-operative for the Perceived Image. In all 1830 questionnaires were distributed and 916 completed questionnaires were processed. Findings: The results from the Kingsley Campus research showed that the Projected Image needed to be more effectively targeted at the Grade 12 target group. The results from the Sunstate Sugar research showed that its Perceived Image was affected by its Self Image as well as by its Projected Image and that its Self Image in particular needed to be made more positive. The results from both organisations suggest that a positive corporate Self Image influences the Projected Image and can have as much impact on the Perceived Image as does the Projected Image. In exploring and discussing the results of this research, each organization derived recommendations which led to their developing action plans for the more effective management of their corporate image. These results indicate that the model created has eliminated a gap in the literature, diffused the confusion regarding what corporate image is, and provided a structure and a methodology by which corporate image can be identified and managed. It has been shown to have considerable utility.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to explore online projected and perceived images of a tourist destination, to assess their mutual correspondence, and to shed light on the role of online user-generated images in destination image formation. It also seeks to analyse the spatial distribution of image by tourists and the complex image identity issues concerning a destination. To achieve this, online image sources regarding the case study of Catalonia were analysed through massive computerized quantitative content analysis of some 25,000 travel blog and review entries (perceived image) and around 3,000 official tourism webpages (projected image). The results showed significant dissonance between tourists’ images and official images of the destination in several aspects, notably its attraction factors and cultural identity. Tourists' destination images were found to be greatly concentrated on certain elements and spaces. Finally, this thesis proposes the concept of "transmitted image" to reflect the new central role of tourists’ online images in the creation, dissemination and formation of destination image.

Full textAbstract:
This practice-based research investigates how projection mapping develops a distinctive relationship between screen, moving image, and space in projected moving-image art. Despite projection mapping’s growing popularity, little in-depth research has been conducted on this medium. This lack of research and the superficial nature of many projects have led artists and researchers to regard the medium as a mere technique that serves only to decorate three-dimensional surfaces. Rather than view projection mapping simply as a digital technique, my research situates it in the continuum of projected moving-image installation artwork. To do this, I examine projection mapping’s screen, narrative, and surrounding space—the constituents of all projected moving-image installation art—through the lenses of surface and depth. In addition to considering cinematic frames, I analyse these traits through artistic lenses such as painting, site-specific art, and architecture to investigate how projection mapping reconfigures the constituents that comprise all screen-based projected moving-image works. In so doing, I define the ways which projection mapping develops its distinctive relationship among these constituents. I conducted three projects in a cyclical developmental process using a reflective methodology derived from case study research: defining the question, recording the process, analysing, and reflecting. My practices as case studies are integral parts of this thesis investigation of how projection mapping generates a distinctive relationship. This study aims to contribute to the body of knowledge about an under-researched area, projection mapping, by providing an in-depth conceptual and practical analysis of this medium. The knowledge resulting from the research is embodied in findings from contextual reviews and original artworks produced as case studies.

Kio, Onoise Gerald. "Distortion correction for non-planar deformable projection displays through homography shaping and projected image warping." Thesis, University of Central Lancashire, 2016. http://clok.uclan.ac.uk/16569/.
Full textAbstract:
Video projectors have advanced from being tools for only delivering presentations on flat or planar surfaces to tools for delivering media content in such applications as augmented reality, simulated sports practice and invisible displays. With the use of non-planar surfaces for projection comes geometric and radiometric distortions. This work dwells on correcting geometric distortions occurring when images or video frames are projected onto static and deformable non-planar display surfaces. The distortion-correction process involves (i) detecting feature points from the camera images and creating a desired shape of the undistorted view through a 2D homography, (ii) transforming the feature points on the camera images to control points on the projected images, (iii) calculating Radial Basis Function (RBF) warping coefficients from the control points, and warping the projected image to obtain an undistorted image of the projection on the projection surface. Several novel aspects of this work have emerged and include (i) developing a theoretical framework that explains the cause of distortion and provides a general warping pattern to be applied to the projection, (ii) carrying out the distortion-correction process without the use of a distortion-measuring calibration image or structured light pattern, (iii) carrying out the distortioncorrection process on a projection display that deforms with time with a single uncalibrated projector and uncalibrated camera, and (iv) performing an optimisation of the distortioncorrection processes to operate in real-time. The geometric distortion correction process designed in this work has been tested for both static projection systems in which the components remain fixed in position, and dynamic projection systems in which the positions of components or shape of the display change with time. The results of these tests show that the geometric distortion-correction technique developed in this work improves the observed image geometry by as much as 31% based on normalised correlation measure. The optimisation of the distortion-correction process resulted in a 98% improvement of its speed of operation thereby demonstrating the applicability of the proposed approach to real projection systems with deformable projection displays.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse développe de nouvelles approches pour l'effacement et la révélation de la présence humaine en utilisant des techniques de réalité augmentée. Elle se concentre sur les systèmes projecteur-caméra (ProCams) et leur application dans les «projections intelligentes», où le contenu virtuel projeté est adapté en fonction de l'environnement. Nous nous appuyons sur les travaux antérieurs sur la compensation photométrique pour projeter sur une surface colorée fixe qui permet au spectateur d'observer la même image telle qu'elle apparaîtrait sur une surface blanche. Malgré les différentes méthodes de compensation des couleurs qui ont été proposées au cours de décennie, la compensation appliquée à monde réel avec des couleurs saturées et vives est encore une question ouverte. L'objectif principal de ce travail est la compensation photométrique sur un objet 3D en mouvement en utilisant un ProCam, ce qui est un scénario considérablement plus difficile. Une nouvelle méthode pour la compensation de couleur à l'aide d'une image d'entrée unique est proposée. Elle consiste à estimer la réflectance spectrale de la surface afin de compenser celle-ci en supposant que les réponses du projecteur sont connues ou mesurées précédemment. Cette méthode a été entièrement développée sur GPU pour permettre une compensation en temps réel. Les méthodes antérieures sur la compensation couleur sont discutées et comparées afin d'évaluer la performance de notre technique. L'étalonnage photométrique et géométrique précis d'un ProCam est essentiel pour une compensation précise. Une nouvelle technique de calibration géométrique entre un capteur de profondeur et un ProCam est présentée dans le but de réaliser la projection sur un objet en mouvement. Une calibration photométrique est décrite pour la transformation des valeurs RGB de la caméra et du projecteur (dépendantes du périphérique) vers l'espace couleur CIE XYZ 1931 (indépendantes du périphérique). Le potentiel artistique des techniques de réalité augmentée proposées est en outre exploré à travers l'installation interactive artistique “Gardien du Temple”. La révélation et l'effacement ont toujours été un terrain d'expérimentation commun aux artistes et aux scientifiques. Cette installation audiovisuelle utilise la réalité augmentée pour effacer la présence d'un poème écrit sur un tapis invitant le spectateur à le révéler. Dans de telles applications, la précision et la robustesse des méthodes utilisées sont cruciales. Cette installation artistique a donc permis de tester et d'évaluer les travaux de cette thèse dans un contexte collaboratif et exigeantThis thesis develops new approaches for human presence concealment and revelation using augmented reality techniques. It focuses on projector-camera systems (ProCams) and their application in “smart projections”, where the projected virtual content is adapted according to the environment. One previously-studied problem is the photometric compensation for projecting on a colored fixed surface that allows the viewer to observe the same image as it would appear on a white surface. Despite the various methods for color compensation that have been proposed the last decade, compensation on a real-world surface with saturated colors and sharp color boundaries is still an open issue. The main objective of this work is the color compensation on a moving 3D object using a ProCam, which is a dramatically more challenging scenario. A novel method for color compensation using a single input frame is proposed. It consists in estimating the spectral reflectance of the surface in order to compensate for it under the assumption that the projector responses are known or previously measured. This method was fully developed on GPU to enable real-time compensation. Previous methods on color compensation are discussed and compared in order to evaluate the performance of our technique. The accurate photometric and geometric calibration of a ProCam is essential for precise compensation. A new geometric calibration technique between a depth sensor and a ProCam is presented in order to make the projection on a moving object feasible. A photometric calibration is described for the transformation of the device-dependent camera and projector values to the device-independent CIE XYZ 1931 color space. The artistic potential of the proposed augmented reality techniques is further explored through the interactive art installation “Gardien du Temple”. Revelation and concealment has always been a common experimentation ground for both artists and scientists. This audio visual installation uses augmented reality to hide the presence of a written poem on a carpet inviting the spectator to reveal it. In such applications, the accuracy and robust performance of the methods employed is crucial and, thus, it offered a challenging ground for testing and evaluation

Full textAbstract:
The 2017 United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) Global Report on Gastronomy Tourism revealed that the local cuisine of a destination is a leading factor influencing destination choice, and tourists are increasingly attracted to destinations with favourable food appeal. In response to this growing trend, the tourism industry has begun to focus on building an attractive and distinctive local food and cuisine image into their branding strategy to enhance competitiveness and capitalise on the growing market. Despite the increasing attention from researchers, there is a lack of consensus on defining the determinants of food image as a set of brand attributes that depict the identity and attraction of a place. Current research that attempts to explain the influence of food and cuisine in the formation of destination brand image takes either a host or tourist perspective. Arguably, existing measures do not adequately capture what the destination has to offer and what is being valued and perceived as attractive by the tourist, which consequently hinder theory development. Considering these discrepancies, the overarching aim of this thesis is to examine the dual-perspective of food image, one that is projected and/or perceived by destination marketers and their industry stakeholders; and the other a mental representation as perceived by potential tourists. Theoretically, this thesis aims to conceptualise an attribute-based framework of destination food image by integrating both host and tourist images to align projected image and perceived image evaluations.
Chapter 1 offers an introduction to the study background and an overview of the research design. The research begins with a literature review to investigate the current state of food image research in tourism. Informed by the gaps highlighted in the review, a framework was developed. It comprises 40 attributes of food image categorised into six dimensions, i.e. place/geographic environment, food and cuisine culture, food and people, food quality, dining places/restaurants, and activities related to food tourism offerings. This work has been published as a research article in the journal, Tourism and Hospitality Research, and is included in this thesis as Chapter Two.
The mapping of a comprehensive list of food image attributes in Chapter Two assisted the development of a model that was subsequently tested empirically for its applicability to the context of Australia and its desired market segment, Chinese tourists. The research adopted a critical realism multi-method approach incorporating: (i) a survey of food tourism stakeholders; (ii) a content analysis of a video used by Tourism Australia in its food campaign; and (iii) a quantitative test of the model using survey data, and an analysis using the PLS-SEM method. These three components were conducted in two sequential empirical phases/studies. The first empirical study looks at food image from the host perspective. The data were drawn from 18 key industry stakeholders, and an analysis of a video to frame the food images projected by Tourism Australia’s campaign. This work has been published as a research article in Tourism Management, and is included in this thesis as Chapter Three. Building on the literature review and the first empirical study, the second empirical study investigated potential tourists’ perceived food images of Australia. It proposes a model that integrates food image and food neophobia theories, and validates the model on data collected from 500 potential Chinese tourists through an online survey. This study is currently under review for publication in the Journal of Travel Research, and is included in this thesis as Chapter Four.
Insights from stakeholders reveal that gaps occur between projected food images and actual food tourism offerings. Stakeholders raised some concerns about Tourism Australia promoting high-end food experiences, and called for the affordability and accessibility of food experiences for the tourist market. They also suggested that the most compelling image for Australia is the country’s diverse food culture, and the natural and clean growing environment for fresh local produce. From the tourist perspective, the model helps to identify the images formed as a set of mental representations in the minds of potential Chinese tourists. Their perceptions of Australia as a food destination, and decision to choose the destination are significantly influenced by the country’s clean food environment, unique food culture, and interesting dining places/restaurants. The findings further reveal the effects of individual food neophobia tendencies and highlight the need for destination brand strategies to be sensitive to tourists’ food-related traits/attitude. Overall, this program of research identified specific congruences and incongruences between the promoted/projected images created by the destination marketers and those images held by the internal stakeholders, as well as the external views of tourists of Australia as a food destination.
This thesis contributes to destination food image knowledge by pulling together the various dimensions and indicators of food destination attractiveness, from the perspectives of both the host and the tourist into a comprehensive conceptual framework, and then empirically testing this framework. It contributes to the literature by simultaneously examining the predictive power of cognitive and affective food image components perceived by potential tourists on their behavioural intention. The model integrates food image and food neophobia theories to contribute greater explanatory power to destination food image formation. It also attempts to enrich current knowledge of consumer behaviour in food tourism by determining factors underlying the dimensions of the perceived image of a country’s cuisine amongst potential tourists in the pre-visit stage. Practically, the findings suggest that marketers compete on food attributes that the potential target market will appreciate, and adopt branding strategies that are aligned with tourists’ food image and expectations.
As stated, this thesis comprises three articles: two published and one under review for publication.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
The late nineteenth century and early twentieth century were an important period for popular shows involving the moving and projected image, yet there have been few sustained studies that have mapped optical entertainments systematically outside London or that have analysed the influence of such shows on early film exhibition. This thesis has profiled the popular and visual culture of five contrasting South West locations during this period, tracing the development and distribution of magic lantern shows and dioramas as well as identifying the local and touring companies who hosted film on its arrival in the region. Using the local press, the trade press, contemporary publications and ephemera, this thesis has reconstructed an account of local shows and culture which not only deepens our understanding of popular visual entertainments in regional contexts, but which also serves to stand as a comparison to other established urban and metropolitan paradigms and thus to contribute to a wider and more complex national picture. It advances the argument for a broader classification of such shows in response to local findings and for a more nuanced and detailed appraisal and understanding of their provenance and profiles, and the role film played within them. In addition, this thesis interrogates early film exhibition in these resorts following the move to fixed-venue cinemas in the late 1900s and investigates the arrival of cinema and its emergence as a fledgling industry in the region. It offers an overview of investment into the business locally and evidences the varied set of partnerships and individuals responsible for financing the first cinemas here. Responses to the new technologies and local modifications to business models for cinemas and film exhibition are analysed and their diversity examined. Managerial relationships with communities are evidenced as an important contributory factor to the success of many local cinemas, permitting adaptations to the needs of patrons which boosted audiences and increased revenue. The variety of local interpretations of cinema discovered here reflects the social and cultural diversity of these selected sites, and is a key finding of this thesis.

Full textAbstract:
Destinations must project a strong and differentiated brand image to position themselves in a competitive market. To this end, official websites have become a key instrument in the portrayal of the desired image and as the place where tourists expect to find everything about the destination. In this study, the official websites of the 12 most popular urban destinations in Europe are analyzed with a two-fold purpose: to describe their projected image, and to explore the relationship between brand image and brand personality in their discourse. The results highlight cultural activities, tourist packages, and food and drink associations as the three core components of the European cities’ offer. Similarly, while all destinations project highly exciting personalities, the traits related to the other personality dimensions are those that differentiate the destinations in the competitive context. Finally, the study shows that some product-related associations are more likely to transmit specific personality traits.Les destinacions han de projectar una imatge de marca robusta i diferenciada en un mercat competitiu. Així, els webs oficials s’han convertit en un instrument clau per transmetre la imatge desitjada, i en el lloc on els turistes esperen trobar tota la informació sobre la destinació. L’estudi analitza el lloc web oficial de les 12 destinacions urbanes més populars d’Europa amb un doble objectiu: descriure la imatge que projecten, i explorar la relació entre imatge i personalitat de marca en el discurs. Els resultats destaquen les activitats culturals, els paquets turístics i la gastronomia com els principals components de la oferta de les ciutats. També demostren que totes les destinacions projecten una personalitat forta en emoció, però són les altres dimensions de la personalitat aquelles que contribueixen a la diferenciació. Finalment, l’estudi identifica la propensió de determinades associacions relacionades amb el producte a transmetre trets de personalitat de marca específics.
Los destinos deben proyectar una imagen de marca robusta y diferenciada en un mercado competitivo. Así, los sitios web oficiales se han convertido en un instrumento clave para transmitir la imagen deseada, i en el sitio donde los turistas esperan encontrar toda la información sobre el destino. Este estudio analiza el sitio web oficial de los 12 destinos urbanos más populares de Europa con un doble objetivo: describir la imagen que proyectan, y explorar la relación entre imagen y personalidad de marca en el discurso. Los resultados destacan las actividades culturales, los paquetes turísticos y la gastronomía como los principales componentes de la oferta de las ciudades. También demuestran que todos los destinos proyectan una personalidad fuerte en emoción, pero son las otras dimensiones de personalidad aquellas que contribuyen a la diferenciación. Finalmente, el estudio identifica la propensión de determinadas asociaciones relacionadas con el producto a transmitir rasgos de personalidad de marca específicos.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a reassessment of the first major British film production crisis. which occurred between 1908 and 1911, through a case study of the Hepworth Manufacturing Company, Ltd (hereafter HMC). In this period British producers saw sales slump and the quality of their films criticised, and standard histories have blamed them for this crisis, describing their conduct as stagnant and incompetent. Challenging these accusations, this thesis examines in depth the advances made by HMC from its inception in 1899 in three key areas. Firstly it looks at filmmaking, examining how HMC developed its production methods and its studio. Secondly it explores how HMC adopted a standardised narrative structure for its films which it augmented by borrowing from a pool of narrative elements in a narrative bricolage. Taking this notion of bricolage further, it thirdly explores how HMC structured its output generically through a similar bricolage of pioneer generic elements and how this approach to genre manifested itself in the market as a strategy to ensure maximum revenues. It contextualises this by presenting at the outset an overview of the development of the British film industry from its origins in 1894 to 1911, highlighting the hitherto overlooked importance of distribution to this development, and studying HMC's relationship to the growing rental sector and the threat posed by the rise of film distribution. Finally it devises a new schema for examining films within exhibition and presents a case study of the circulation of HMC films. The conclusion reviews the state of the market and the attempts made by the HMC to survive within it, taking the position that the strategies of HMC were rendered ineffective by market forces, and that it was only through diversification into distribution and exhibition that HMC, and all the producers, could have avoided the crisis.

Full textAbstract:
L'utilisation d'un projecteur dans différentes applications et environnements soulève la nécessité d'adapter et de contrôler l'image affichée en fonction des conditions d'affichage. L'image affichée par exemple dans un environnement éclairé peut apparaître avec des couleurs saturées et un contraste atténué. De même, son apparence peut être affectée par la réflectance et la géométrie de l'écran sur lequel l'image est projetée. Dans ce mémoire, nous proposons une approche pour contrôler l'apparence de l'image affichée par la modélisation des différents facteurs affectants son affichage. Cette approche est basée sur le modèle de formation de l'image perçue et la constance de couleur entre les images observées. L'approche proposée unifie la compensation des effets de la lumière ambiante et de la réflectance de l'écran. Nous argumentons que le modèle proposé est plus général que certains modèles de compensation utilisés pour la constance de couleurs. L'approche proposée estime l'illuminant de l'environnement d'affichage et l'illuminant cible, la réflectance de l'écran utilisé ainsi que la réflectance de l'écran cible. Une opération complémentaire pour la compensation de contraste est dérivée de la loi de Weber. Cette compensation permet d'adapter le contraste de l'image affichée conformément à l'intensité de la lumière ambiante. L'approche proposée est vérifiée expérimentalement dans des environnements éclairés et en utilisant des écrans non blancs. Elle permet de camoufler l'effet de l'écran utilisé dans l'affichage et de simuler les effets d'autres écrans cibles. Notre approche peut être utile dans certains domaines tels que le camouflage et la simulation pour des applications d'art visuel et performatif.

Hawley, Jeffrey Allan. "Software architecture of the non-rigid image registration evaluation project." Thesis, University of Iowa, 2011. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/1229.
Full textAbstract:
In medical image registration the goal is to find point by point correspondences between a source image and a target image such that the two images are aligned. There are rigid and non-rigid registration algorithms. Rigid registration uses rigid transformation methods which preserve distances between every pair of points. Non-rigid registration uses transformation methods that do not have to preserve the distances. Image registration has many medical applications -tracking tumors, anatomical changes over time, differences between characteristics like age and gender, etc. A gold standard transformation to compare and evaluate the registration algorithms would be ideal to use to verify if the two images are perfectly aligned. However, there is hardly if ever a gold standard transformation for non-rigid registration algorithms. The reason why there is no gold standard transformation for non-rigid registration algorithms is that pointwise correspondence between two registered points is not unique. In the absence of a gold standard various evaluation methods are used to gauge registration performance. However, each evaluation method only evalutes the error in the transformation from a limited perspective and therefore has its advantages and drawbacks. The Non-Rigid Image Registration Evaluation Project (NIREP) was was created to provide one central tool that has a collection of evaluation methods to perform the evaluations on non-rigid image registration algorithms and rank the registration algorithms based on the outputs of the evaluation methods in the absence of without having to use a gold standard.

Full textAbstract:
This practice-based project considers what happens when projected video/film is placed in combination with drawing, and vice versa. The research conceives of the staging of video projection installations and related works in terms of their spatial and temporal dimensions. The main approach both in my practice (which focuses on drawing and video installation) and writing, aims to realign the layers of projected images in which bodily engagement performs as discontinuous transition. Since filmic media dematerialize the trope of bodily engagement, the drawing activity seeks its way of survival through performativity, promoting temporal continuity in a ritual manner. The text considers selected works by Pipilotti Rist, Dennis Oppenheim, VALIE EXPORT, Peter Campus, Joan Jonas, and Pablo Picasso in detail. Rist’s work is examined and critically interrogated as an example of immersive illusionistic video installation. Dennis Oppenheim’s Two Stage Transfer Drawing is considered as an example of kinetic transmission through the sensory body, which creates layers of images and screens (or interfaces). Using the physicality of projection, VALIE EXPORT’s Auf+Ab+An+Zu expands its filmic images into the real space, in which participants are invited to mark the real space of the screen. The text asks how this work reconfigures the space-time of its multiple performative elements. Peter Campus’s work is introduced as a productive example of the possibilities of closed-circuit installation. By manipulating the materiality of the screen, Joan Jonas’s complex video performance installations take this possibility even further, generating the screens’ own spatiality and temporality, as in the work Glass Puzzle, which is described in detail. Both of my text and practice focus on the materiality of the screen and consider how it can be rethought or restaged through bodily engagement.
