Images of Power, Images of War: Schmucker Art Gallery’s New Exhibit

Bodies in Conflict: From Gettysburg to Iraq is a brand new exhibit in Schmucker Art Gallery at Gettysburg College. Curated by Mellon Summer Scholar Laura Bergin ’17, it features eleven depictions of bodies engaged in various conflicts in U.S. history, ranging from the Civil War to the war in Iraq. In addition to curating the physical exhibit found in Schmucker Art Gallery, Bergin also created a virtual version, which can be accessed online through the Schmucker Gallery web page. Of particular interest to those interested in the Civil War are two of the oldest pieces in the collection, a lithograph depicting Pennsylvania Bucktails engaging with “Stonewall” Jackson’s men and stenograph images that depict the aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg.

Slovenian Virtual Gallery on the Internet

The Slovenian Virtual Gallery (SVG) is a World Wide Web based multimedia collection of pictures, text, clickable-maps and video clips presenting Slovenian fine art from the gothic period up to the present days. Part of SVG is a virtual gallery space where pictures hang on the walls while another part is devoted to current exhibitions of selected Slovenian art galleries. The first version of this application was developed in the first half of 1995. It was based on a file system for storing all the data and custom developed software for search, automatic generation of HTML documents, scaling of pictures and remote management of the system. Due to the fast development of Web related tools a new version of SVG was developed in 1997 based on object-oriented relational database server technology. Both implementations are presented and compared in this article with issues related to the transion between the two versions. At the end, we will also discuss some extensions to SVG. We will present the GUI (Graphical User Interface) developed specially for presentation of current exhibitions over the Web which is based on GlobalView panoramic navigation extension to developed Internet Video Server (IVS). And since SVG operates with a lot of image data, we will confront with the problem of Image Content Retrieval

Online Art Gallery

Online Art Gallery is an e-commerce website, which allows people with art and artists all over the world to showcase a large selection of paintings, drawings, prints, digital art, sculpture and photography. This website also provides artists with a curated environment in which to exhibit and sell their work. Online Art Gallery contains a database which stores artist, buyer, and gallery information. This website allows the artist and buyer the ability to browse for artwork by categories, subjects, artists, tags and prices. This website allows advanced searching where a potential buyer can search galleries based on specifics such as theme, author, date, size, price, or color. The buyer will also be sent to a booking form and payment process to finalize transactions. This website will also incorporate a user survey and comment form. The Online Art Gallery will be created in the Microsoft Web Application Framework, ASP.NET. The Front-end of the website will be created in HTML5, CSS3, and Bootstrap. The Backend of the website will incorporate C-Sharp and SQL Server 2017 to process and store user input respectively. Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2017 will be used as the Integrated Development Environments to create the website and its database. Modules: 1. Home module.2.

Learning from Millions of 3D Scans for Large-scale 3D Face Recognition

Deep networks trained on millions of facial images are believed to be closely approaching human-level performance in face recognition. However, open world face recognition still remains a challenge. Although, 3D face recognition has an inherent edge over its 2D counterpart, it has not benefited from the recent developments in deep learning due to the unavailability of large training as well as large test datasets. Recognition accuracies have already saturated on existing 3D face datasets due to their small gallery sizes. Unlike 2D photographs, 3D facial scans cannot be sourced from the web causing a bottleneck in the development of deep 3D face recognition networks and datasets. In this backdrop, we propose a method for generating a large corpus of labeled 3D face identities and their multiple instances for training and a protocol for merging the most challenging existing 3D datasets for testing. We also propose the first deep CNN model designed specifically for 3D face recognition and trained on 3.1 Million 3D facial scans of 100K identities. Our test dataset comprises 1,853 identities with a single 3D scan in the gallery and another 31K scans as probes, which is several orders of magnitude larger than existing ones. Without fine tuning on this dataset, our network already outperforms state of the art face recognition by over 10%. We fine tune our network on the gallery set to perform end-to-end large scale 3D face recognition which further improves accuracy. Finally, we show the efficacy of our method for the open world face recognition problem.Comment: 11 page

Taiteilijaverkkosivuston kehittäminen

Tämä toiminnallinen opinnäytetyö käsittelee kuvataiteilija Tiia-Mari Kolibrin taiteilijaverkkosivujen kehitystyötä. Projekti toteutettiin toimeksiantona syystalvella 2016. Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli toteuttaa toimeksiantajan toiveiden mukainen uusi verkkosivusto ja kuvata sen kehitystyö. Työssä keskitytään ennen kaikkea WWW-sisällönhallintajärjestelmää hyväksikäyttävän sivuston kehitysvaiheessa tehtäviin valintoihin sekä toteutettaviin työvaiheisiin. Opinnäytetyö on kirjoitettu niin, että sitä voi käyttää hyväksi vastaavanlaisissa projekteissa jopa ilman minkäänlaisia edeltäviä verkkosivukehitystaitoja. Projektissa toteutettiin aluksi sisällönhallintajärjestelmien vertailu, jonka perusteella luotavalle sivustolle järjestelmäksi valittiin WordPress. Toimeksiantosopimuksen mukaisesti kaksikieliselle sivustolle tulivat muun muassa taiteilijan tapahtumakalenteri, kuvagalleria sekä joulukuussa 2016 julkaistu pelisovellus Tiia Mari Kolibri’s Virtual Art Gallery. Opinnäytetyössä esitellään kohta kohdalta kehitysprosessin kulku sekä valitut työkalut. Sivuston kehitystyöprojekti päättyi ja sivusto valmistui joulukuussa 2016. Toimeksiantosopimuksen kaikki vaatimukset täyttyivät sovitussa aikataulussa.This functional thesis covers the process of creating a new web site for visual artist TiiaMari Kolibri. The project was carried out in late 2016 as a commission. The purpose of this thesis was to create a new website based on the client’s wishes and to document the procession of this project. This thesis mainly focuses on the choices and processes that need to be carried out when creating a website that utilizes a web content management system. The thesis is written in a way that it can be applied in similar projects even without any previous website development skills. The project started with comparing different content management systems. WordPress was chosen for the website based on the executed comparison. In accordance with the commission agreement, the completed website contains for example the artist’s event calendar, image gallery and the game Tiia Mari Kolibri’s Virtual Art Gallery which was released in December 2016. The whole development process and used tools are documented in this thesis. The project ended and the site was published in December 2016. All the requirements that were listed in the commission agreement were met and the project also finished on time
