La dimensión espacial en el estudio germaniano de la estructura social argentina

El presente trabajo toma como objeto de reflexión la obra Estructura social de la Argentina. Análisis estadístico de Gino Germani. La misma resulta de gran importancia, no sólo porque constituye el primer libro del sociólogo italiano, sino también porque expone una investigación que, a través de una rigurosa aplicación del método cuantitativo sobre un amplísimo material censal, proporciona un diagnóstico de la realidad social argentina, al tiempo que esboza una agenda de temas para ulteriores indagaciones sociológicas.Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educació

Artistic minimal rendering with lines and blocks

Many non-photorealistic rendering techniques exist to produce artistic effects from given images. Inspired by various artists, interesting effects can be produced by using a minimal rendering, where the minimum refers to the number of tones as well as the number and complexity of the primitives used for rendering. Our method is based on various computer vision techniques, and uses a combination of refined lines and blocks (potentially simplified), as well as a small number of tones, to produce abstracted artistic rendering with sufficient elements from the original image. We also considered a variety of methods to produce different artistic styles, such as colour and 2-tone drawings, and use semantic information to improve renderings for faces. By changing some intuitive parameters a wide range of visually pleasing results can be produced. Our method is fully automatic. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method with extensive experiments and a user study
