Mosaic of Israel’s landscapes as an expression of geographical, cultural, and religious diversity
Dorot Ruth, Mosaic of Israel’s landscapes as an expression of geographical, cultural, and religious diversity. “Images” vol. XXV, no. 34. Poznań 2019. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. Pp. 87–113. ISSN 1731-450X. DOI 10.14746/i.2019.34.06.
Israel is tiny in its dimensions, yet huge in the spectrum of its landscapes. It is ancient in its history, yet young as a state. In honor of the 70th independence day of the State of Israel, celebrated in 2018, this paper presents a mosaic of 12 landscape paintings, from the country’s most southern point to the most northern one, by Israeli artists who represent, in diverse styles, the state’s geographic and historic wealth in a visual-artistic sense.Dorot Ruth, Mosaic of Israel’s landscapes as an expression of geographical, cultural, and religious diversity. “Images” vol.

3D mosaics survey: analysis of photogrammetric/computer vision approach in a metrological context
The goal of the paper is evaluate photogrammetric/computer vision approach in a metrological context for 3D mosaics survey. The aim of the mosaics survey is the production of a full-scale representation (scale 1:1) useful for the documentation and for the restoration processes.
In order to evaluate the optimal photogrammetric/computer vision workflow in this work three different surveys have been done for three mosaics with different size and location. Two of these are stored at Regional Archaeological Museum “Antonino Salinas” in Palermo (Italy) and the other one is stored at Regional Archaeological Museum “Baglio Anselmi” in Marsala (Italy). The research has allowed to show the potentiality and the issues of photogrammetric/computer vision approach for the 3D mosaic documentation
A framework for realistic 3D tele-immersion
Meeting, socializing and conversing online with a group of people using teleconferencing systems is still quite differ- ent from the experience of meeting face to face. We are abruptly aware that we are online and that the people we are engaging with are not in close proximity. Analogous to how talking on the telephone does not replicate the experi- ence of talking in person. Several causes for these differences have been identified and we propose inspiring and innova- tive solutions to these hurdles in attempt to provide a more realistic, believable and engaging online conversational expe- rience. We present the distributed and scalable framework REVERIE that provides a balanced mix of these solutions. Applications build on top of the REVERIE framework will be able to provide interactive, immersive, photo-realistic ex- periences to a multitude of users that for them will feel much more similar to having face to face meetings than the expe- rience offered by conventional teleconferencing systems
Massive and low-mass protostars in massive "starless" cores
The infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) G11.110.12 and G28.340.06 are two of
the best-studied IRDCs in our Galaxy. These two clouds host clumps at different
stages of evolution, including a massive dense clump in both clouds that is
dark even at 70 and 100m. Such seemingly quiescent massive dense clumps
have been speculated to harbor cores that are precursors of high-mass stars and
clusters. We observed these two "prestellar" regions at 1mm with the
Submillimeter Array (SMA) with the aim of characterizing the nature of such
cores. We show that the clumps fragment into several low- to high-mass cores
within the filamentary structure of the enveloping cloud. However, while the
overall physical properties of the clump may indicate a starless phase, we find
that both regions host multiple outflows. The most massive core though 70
m dark in both clumps is clearly associated with compact outflows. Such
low-luminosity, massive cores are potentially the earliest stage in the
evolution of a massive protostar. We also identify several outflow features
distributed in the large environment around the most massive core. We infer
that these outflows are being powered by young, low-mass protostars whose core
mass is below our detection limit. These findings suggest that low-mass
protostars have already formed or are coevally formed at the earliest phase of
high-mass star formation.Comment: in print at A&
