Abstract:

With admirable clarity, Pylyshyn shows that there is little evidence that mental imagery is strongly constrained to be analog. He urges that imagery must be considered part of a more general symbolic system. The ultimate solution to the challenges of image theory, however, rest on understanding the manner in which mental imagery is both a symbolic and an analog system.

Abstract:

The “Perky effect” is the interference of visual imagery with vision. Studies of this effect show that visual imagery has more than symbolic properties, but these properties differ both spatially (including “pictorially”) and temporally from those of vision. We therefore reject both the literal picture-in-the-head view and the entirely symbolic view.

Abstract:

The article presents the results of associative dimension of individual and group imagery and symbolic concepts regarding personnel management held in 2015 within a comprehensive sociological research of professionalization branding and brand management. The survey polled 1,083 respondents, students of four universities tracking programs that involved the discipline “Personnel Management”. The survey participants had to choose specific visual mediators, which they most clearly associated with personnel management. The analysis of the survey results has allowed us to note peculiar imagery and symbolic concepts based on the respondents’ gender, age and occupation. The article specifically reflects the interpretation of the respondents’ associations using the psychogeometry instruments. Special attention is paid to classification of the survey participants’ imagery and symbolic concepts on groups of indicators characterizing the personnel management.

Abstract:

Phraseologisms are symbolic and figurative means of expression that people have created through language over the centuries. Therefore, fiction cannot be imagined without phraseology. Fiction bus-relies entirely on artistic expression, imagery, and narrative. Therefore, the extensive and effective use of phraseology is extremely powerful in fiction. Phraseologisms are symbolic (figurative) means of expression and imagery that people have created through language over the centuries. That is why language and fiction cannot be imagined without phraseology.

Abstract:

The article studies the peculiarities of visual image symbolic type originating in the artistic practice of Ukrainian baroque. It is stated that ba- roque culture of 17-18 cent. was spreading across Ukrainian territories. Meanwhile Ukrainian art of that period was developing in close interaction with the art of Central Europe, Russia and Balkan countries. Realistic traditions of Western Europe were actively taking roots on Ukrainian territory thus forming the alternative for sacral orthodox art. Symbolic and allegoric type of visual art is mostly used for didactic and educational aims (I. Galyatovsky), narrative ones (I. Bondarevska) and to be more precise and clear it is accompanied by text explanations. Symbolic motives are also represented in virtually all works of H. Skovoroda distinguishing purely symbolic images and fantastic ones. He believes that symbolic imagery is a "picture of wisdom". Emblem-embedded and symbol-embedded books with symbolic and allegoric illustrating engravings become more common and widespread due to the typography development. Publication of "Symbola et Emblemata" and "Iphika Hieropolitica" promotes the usage of these murals, icon paintings, and didactic motives of secular arts. Symbolic and allegoric contents of ethno-national coloring fill the imagery of Ukrainian national icon paintings ("Cossack Mamay", etc.) and symbolically-allegoric compositions of icon paintings ("Jesus Christ the Husband- man", "The Eye of Providence", "Crucifixion with Vine", "Christ in the Winepress", etc.). Also allegoric motives are used in parsuna genre. The article states that, due to the rationalistic tendency influence of European culture, Ukrainian visual art of baroque period moves away from Byzantine canons with their symbolic conventionality thus turning more and more to realistic type of imagery (especially in portrait genre) and at the same time retaining symbolic and allegoric techniques which gained some ethno-national peculiarities.

Abstract:

George Gillespie's valuable observations on light and lattice imageries are placed in the context of current research and theory on cognitive imagery (Kosslyn, Pylyshyn), ordinary and lucid dreaming, representational geometric imagery in scientific thought, the author's previous writings on altered states of consciousness, and Gibson's views on perception and imagery. Gillespie's reports show categories of imagery deconstruction and abstraction that link these areas and suggest an integrative model of the varieties of symbolic imagery.

Abstract:

Pylyshyn's critique is powerful. Pictorial theories of imagery fail. On the other hand, the symbolic description theory he manifestly still favors also fails, lacking the semantic foundation necessary to ground imagery's intentionality and consciousness. However, contrary to popular belief, these two theory types do not exhaust available options. Recent work on embodied, active perception supports the alternative perceptual activity theory of imagery.

Abstract:

The 2018 anti-government protests in Nicaragua generated a vast amount of photographic imagery, video documentation, and visual graphics. On the street and via social media, everyday citizens engaged with this material, activating a multisensory environment. The production of visual content was nonetheless accompanied by iconoclastic gestures; vandalism became a means of reclaiming Nicaragua’s revolutionary past and its symbols, while deploying them towards the making of a yet to be imagined political future. Drawing on examples from Chile and Mexico, the article argues that acts of vandalism may be understood as symbolically reparative. The materiality of the protests, manifested through image, trace, gesture, and sound (slogans, chants, noise) becomes a means towards analysing, ethnographically, revolutionary imaginaries caught within the flux of an unsettled present.

Abstract:

After being relaxed or aroused, 330 college students served as subjects in one of three imaging conditions. In the imaging condition with emotion induced first, subjects were instructed to generate an emotion, to envision an image, and to intensify the emotion while continuing to image. In the imaging condition with emotion induced later, other subjects were instructed to envision an image, to set it aside, to generate an emotion, to retrieve the image, and to intensify the emotion while continuing to image. In the imaging condition with no induced emotion, a third group of subjects envisioned an image without receiving any instruction to generate an emotion. Subjects' descriptions of their imagery were rated by two judges, initially, on scales of Symbolic Value and Bizarreness and, two months later, on scales of Obvious Contextualization and Emergent Contextualization. Symbolic Value ratings were positively correlated with Emergent Contextualization ratings and with Emergent/Obvious Contextualization ratios. Also, the imaging condition with “emotion induced later” yielded higher Symbolic Value ratings and higher Emergent/Obvious Contextualization ratios than the other two conditions. These quantitative findings, along with qualitative analyses of the imagery descriptions themselves, support the authors' hypothesis that symbolic imagery contextualizes emotion and, thereby, seems to “stand for” objects of emotion that are no longer present (but are not necessarily “unconscious”).

Abstract:

We report a series of experiments using a new methodology to investigate the relationships between visual and verbal representations and the process of acquiring new semantic associations. Transfer of associative information between stimulus modalities was investigated by training paired associations between novel pictures and novel words. Our results showed that the transfer of associations is a symbolic process, occurring only when participants are aware of the correspondence between the visual and the verbal items afforded by the name relations. We also obtained evidence to suggest that symbolic associations develop more readily from picture associations than from word associations. We argue that this is evidence that semantic knowledge is grounded in perceptual experience. Our most striking result, replicated across experiments, is that transfer of associations between modalities only occurs when subjects have specific conscious awareness about the relationships among associations. This should have implications for cognitive theories of symbolic representation. The methods we developed to expose this phenomenon can be extended to examine those implications more thoroughly. We discuss some of these implications in the terms of competing and complementary cognitive and behavioural theories relating representation to perception and symbols. Dual coding models fit our modality-transfer results more readily than single semantic store models, but neither is well suited for interpreting our awareness results, or for iv discussing perceptual grounding of representation. The models of Deacon and Barsalou both focus on systems of distributed representations grounded in perception; the role of awareness in symbol acquisition in their models is discussed and contrasted with theories from the stimulus equivalence tradition of behaviourist research. From these considerations, we argue that implicit associations underpin symbolic associations, but that semantic knowledge is conscious knowledge about the patterns of association which link representations.

Abstract:

This exegetical study considers how the experience of death, grief, and, in particular, loss can be considered through symbolic imagery and sculptural installation. I surveyed academic writing on these emotions and experiences as well as artists’ visual responses to them. My research has at its starting point the death of my marriage, and the surrounding feelings of grief and loss. My built structures or sculptural installation reference the body in situ, absent, and in its corporeal decline leading to death. All three states become dominant metaphors that symbolise trauma, grief, loss, separation, and fear. I discovered that loss triggers emotions that dismantle the way in which one perceives the link between past, present, and future relationships. In other words, loss has the ability to destroy a sense of order, logic, and continuity in one’s life and to deconstruct existing belief structures. As an individual, major loss is generally associated with the death of a family member or close friend. The intensity of grief experienced by the individual is related to the intensity of the personal involvement. This study questions how my art practice can effectively communicate notions of death, grief, and loss, and, in so doing, seeks to show how human experience can be re-contextualised into a physical form.<br>Thesis (Professional Doctorate)<br>Doctor of Visual Arts (DVA)<br>Queensland College of Art<br>Arts, Education and Law<br>Full Text

Abstract:

Creativity, for Wallace Stevens, depends on connections to the natural world which can be examined through garden imagery. Chapters one and two focus on Stevens' private writing, identifying the range of garden environments and natural expanses to which he responded and associating these responses with his aesthetic sensibilities. Continental and Adamic traditions in garden imagery are explored as are contemporary practices in conservation and horticulture. Chapter three concentrates on poems which treat the garden as a locus amoenus of repose and delight where a poet can engage his imaginative faculties with sensual reality. Chapter four analyzes poems whose garden imagery elucidates Stevens' attempts to confront social and political as well as aesthetic issues. Chapters five and six examine Stevens' consideration of the garden as a hortus mentis, emblematic of creative experience, where Stevens assesses the relation of expression to environment and celebrates life lived "in the word of it."

Abstract:

Satellite imagery and remote sensing provide explanatory variables at relatively high resolutions for modeling geospatial phenomena, yet regional summaries are often desirable for analysis and actionable insight. In this paper, we propose a novel method of inducing spatial aggregations as a component of the statistical learning process, yielding regional model features whose construction is driven by model prediction performance rather than prior assumptions. Our results demonstrate that Genetic Programming is particularly well suited to this type of feature construction because it can automatically synthesize appropriate aggregations, as well as better incorporate them into predictive models compared to other regression methods we tested. In our experiments we consider a specific problem instance and real-world dataset relevant to predicting snow properties in high-mountain Asia.

Abstract:

Research question: To examine what aspects affect some consumers to avoid e-bikes and others to desire them. Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to see if e-bikes have a symbolic value. We aim to see if e-bikes is associated as an environmentally friendly product. We will examine stereotypes and brand avoidance. Further we will see what attributes consumers associate with typical users of e-bikes. Theory: To test our research question we chose our main theory of the matching process between self-image and typical user. Prior studies on e-bikes in areas as typical users and environment were analyzed. Previous studies on e-bikes were analyzed in areas such as environment and typical users. Methodology: A survey was made on two groups who are underrepresented in sales of ebikes. Students aged 21-30 and cycling enthusiasts. Results and conclusions: • We found that e-bikes have symbolic value. • Many respondents perceive e-bike users as environmentally friendly, comfortable and lazy. • E-bikes being perceived as environmentally friendly can be a pre-purchase indicator for students, but not for cycling enthusiasts • Different groups of students have conflicting user imagery, one group describe e-bikers as lazy, and another group describe e-bike users as healthy • The stereotype that e-bike users are old is not very frequent • Viewing e-bike users as lazy influences impacts the perceived value and are likely to lead to brand avoidance

Para abordar esse assunto, essa tese se divide em três capítulos. O primeiro capítulo enfatiza os estudos da imagem corporal e suas respectivas características, a fim de esclarecer a significância do conteúdo para o entendimento da relação entre imagem corporal com a representação simbólica.

O segundo capítulo está direcionado à representação simbólica e à definição de arquétipo, destacando os escritos de Jung para explicar o tema proposto, assim como outros autores que incluem em suas pesquisas as representações simbólicas junguianas. O terceiro capítulo enfatiza os estudos da imagem mental e da concepção do corpo, do ponto de vista de alguns autores, como: Françoise Dolto, Michel Foucault, e do neurologista Antonio Damásio. Este assunto permite a realização de um paralelo das abordagens de Jung com os autores que estudaram, e estudam, a imagem corporal. Esse último capítulo também trata do histórico do estudo da imagem mental e da concepção do corpo nos escritos de Jung, como da ¿representação mental do corpo¿ (imagem corporal).

The interface between body image and symbolic representation, as understood by Carl Gustav Jung, aims to contribute to the analysis of both studies. To deal with this subject this research is divided in three chapters. The first chapter emphasizes body image studies and their respective perspectives. It seeks to explain the meaning of contents in order to understand the relation between body image and symbolic representation. A brief historical is presented, with its multiple components, conceits and implications regarding the theme. The second chapter addresses symbolic representation and archetypal definitions pointed out in the writings of Jung and other authors who offer research in Jungian symbolic representation. The third chapter emphasizes mental body studies and body conception according to various authors, including: Françoise Dolto, Michel Foucault and the Neurologist Antonio Damasio. This dialogue establishes a parallel between Jung¿s approaches and other related authors. The final chapter deals with the study of mental image and the concept of body in C. G.

Abstract:

Esta dissertação se refere à pesquisa realizada na CASA Osasco I, uma das unidades de internação da Fundação CASA instituição que substituiu a FEBEM-SP com adolescentes em cumprimento da medida socioeducativa de privação de liberdade. Como metodologia de pesquisa, foram realizadas, entre outubro de 2008 e janeiro de 2010, oficinas semanais de criação, que, sem um formato prévio nem objetivando um produto de oficina, permitiram que os adolescentes e a pesquisadora construíssem, no tempo da pesquisa, um espaço de encontro, que se configurou não só como locus de observação, mas de criação e participação nas imagens. A longa duração do campo permitiu, também, o acompanhamento da passagem integral de alguns adolescentes pela internação: da chegada à unidade ao retorno ao mundão. A pesquisa busca penetrar na dimensão simbólica e imaginária da privação de liberdade e nas imagens que se constelam no simbolismo da passagem, a partir das narrativas que o encontro produziu. Das oficinas resultou outro importante material de análise, os diários de oficina, que traçam um horizonte de conflitos em torno da experiência de privação de liberdade. Quatro diários foram selecionados e relacionados a posteriori aos elementos materiais terra, água, fogo e ar por apresentarem diferentes configurações imaginárias, conforme a aderência da imaginação a um dos quatro elementos. A leitura das imagens surgidas em oficina, e presentes nos diários, foi inspirada na fenomenologia da imaginação poética de Gaston Bachelard, considerando as noções de imaginação material e imaginação dinâmica que a sustentam. Por fim, foi realizada uma leitura simbólica das passagens empreendidas por dois adolescentes e um educador da CASA Osasco, com base na teoria de Gilbert Durand sobre o imaginário e com o auxílio de teóricos como Junito Brandão e Erich Neumann. Realizando aproximações entre os três passageiros e algumas figuras míticas, a análise procurou observar como os narradores atualizam os mitos estudados.<br>This dissertation refers to the research conducted in Osasco CASA I, one of the inmate units of CASA Foundation former FEBEM-SP - where teenagers, deprived of liberty, comply social & educational measures. As a research methodology, creation workshops were weekly conducted between October 2008 and January 2010. Those workshops didnt have a programmed format nor they targeted a specific product, enabling the researcher and the adolescents to build, throughout the research period, a meeting point, which was set up not only as a locus of observation, but also as a place of image creation and engagement. The duration of the field trips has also allowed the monitoring of the entire stay of some adolescents: from their arrival to the return to mundão (a slang for the outside world). The research seeks to penetrate in the imaginary and symbolic dimensions of the liberty deprivation, as well as in the images that constellate the symbolism of passage, from the narratives that the meeting produced. The workshops produced another important material for analysis, the workshop journals, which outlined a gamut of conflicts around the experience of liberty deprivation. Four journals had been selected and further connected to the material elements - earth, water, fire and air, for presenting different imaginary configurations, according to the adherence of the imagination to the material elements. The image readings arisen during the workshops, as seen on the journals, were inspired by Gaston Bachelards phenomenology of the poetic imagination, taking in consideration the notions of material imagination and dynamic imagination that sustain it.Finally, a symbolic reading of the \"passages\" taken by two teenagers and an educator from CASA Osasco has been performed, based on Gilbert Durands theory on the imaginary, with the theoric aid from Junito Brandão and Erich Neumann. Connecting those three passengers and a few mythical figures, the analysis endeavors to observe how the narrators update these myths.

Abstract:

Le traitement et l’analyse d’images angiographiques rotationnelles 3D (3DRA) de haute résolution spatiale pour l’aide à la planification d’interventions en neuroradiologie interventionnelle est un domaine de recherche récent et en plein essor. Les neuroradiologues ont besoin d’outils interactifs pour la planification des procédures d’embolisation et l’optimisation du guidage de microcathéters durant les interventions endovasculaires. L’exploitation des données d’imagerie pour l’aide au diagnostic et la thérapeutique requiert le développement d’algorithmes robustes et de méthodes efficaces. Ces méthodes permettent d’intégrer les informations contenues dans ces images pour en extraire des descripteurs anatomiques utiles durant les phases pre et per-opératoires.Cette thèse est dédiée au développement d’une chaine de traitement complète comprenant la segmentation, la reconstruction tridimensionnelle (3D) et la représentation symbolique de vaisseaux cérébraux à partir d’images 3DRA, pour faciliter la planification d’interventions d’embolisation pour le traitement de Malformations ArtérioVeineuses cérébrales (MAVs).La première partie du travail est consacrée à l’étude des différentes approches utilisées en segmentation des vaisseaux. Deux méthodes de segmentation sont ensuite proposées. Tout d’abord, une méthode de segmentation 2D coupe par coupe est développée ainsi qu’un technique robuste de suivi de vaisseaux permettant de détecter les bifurcations et de poursuivre le tracking de plusieurs branches du même vaisseau. Un maillage basé sur la triangulation Contrainte de Delaunay permet ensuite la reconstruction et la visualisation 3D des vaisseaux ainsi obtenus. Une méthode de segmentation 3D automatisée des images 3DRA est ensuite développée, elle présente l’avantage d’être plus rapide et de traiter le volume d’images entier en 3D. Cette méthode est basée sur la croissance de régions. Le processus 3D démarre à partir d’une coupe initiale pré-segmentée en utilisant la reconstruction géodésique et sur laquelle les germes sont placés de manière automatique. Finalement, une représentation du réseau vasculaire sur laquelle on distingue clairement les trois entités que sont les artères, les veines drainantes et le nidus est obtenue.La deuxième partie de la thèse est consacrée à la représentation symbolique des vaisseaux. L'étude hiérarchique du squelette permet de donner une description graphique du réseau vasculaire cérébral. A partir de cette description graphique, les vaisseaux et leurs branches sont labellisés et un ou plusieurs vaisseaux peuvent être isolés du reste du réseau pour une analyse visuelle plus précise, ce qui n’est pas possible avec les reconstructions 3D du constructeur. De plus, cette représentation améliore la détermination des chemins optimaux pour l’embolisation de la MAV et réduit la complexité due à l’enchevêtrement des vaisseaux malformés.La chaine de traitement complète ainsi développée aboutit à une description 3D précise des vaisseaux. Elle permet une meilleure compréhension structurelle du réseau vasculaire cérébral et offre aux neuroradiologues la possibilité d’extraire des descripteurs anatomiques, et géométriques (taille, diamètre…) des vaisseaux. Enfin, une étape de vérification des résultats par un expert neuroradiologue a permis la validation clinique des résultats de segmentation et de reconstruction 3D. L’intégration des algorithmes développés dans une interface graphique intuitive et facile d’utilisation devra être faite pour permettre l’exploitation de nos résultats en routine clinique<br>The processing and analysis of 3D Rotational Angiographic images (3DRA) of high spatial resolution to facilitate intervention planning in interventional neuroradiology is a new and booming research area. Neuroradiologists need interactive tools for the planning of embolization procedures and the optimization of the guidance of micro-catheters during endovascular interventions. The exploitation of imaging data to help in diagnosis and treatment requires the development of robust algorithms and efficient methods. These methods allow integrating information included in these images in order to extract useful anatomical descriptors during preoperative and peroperative phases.This thesis is dedicated to the development of a complete processing pipeline including segmentation, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and symbolic representation of cerebral vessels from 3DRA images, aiming to facilitate the embolization intervention planning for the treatment of cerebral ArterioVenous Malformations (AVMs).The first part of the work is devoted to the study of the different approaches used for the segmentation of vessels. Two segmentation methods are then proposed. First, a 2D slice-by-slice segmentation method is developed, followed by a robust vessel tracking process that enables detecting bifurcations and further following several branches of the same vessel. A mesh based on the Constrained Delaunay triangulation allows then the 3D reconstruction and visualization of the obtained vessels. An automated 3D segmentation method of 3DRA images is then developed, which presents the advantage of being faster and processing the whole 3D volume of images. This method is region growing based. The 3D process starts from an initial pre-segmented slice using the geodesic reconstruction, where the seeds are automatically placed. Finally, a representation of the vasculature is obtained, in which these three entities are clearly visible: the feeding arteries, the draining veins and the nidus.The second part of the thesis is devoted to the symbolic representation of the vessels. The hierarchical study of the skeleton allows giving a graphic description of the cerebral vascular network. From this graphic description, the vessels and their branches are labeled and one or more vessels can be isolated from the rest of network for a more accurate visual analysis, which is not possible with the original 3D reconstructions. Moreover, this improves the determination of the optimal paths for the AVM embolization and reduces the complexity due to the entanglement of the malformed vessels.The complete processing pipeline thus developed leads to a precise 3D description of the vessels. It allows a better understanding of the cerebral vascular network structure and provides the possibility to neuroradiologists of extracting anatomical and geometric descriptors (size, diameter...) of the vessels. Finally, a verification step of the results by a neuroradiology expert enabled clinical validation of the 3D segmentation and reconstruction results.

Abstract:

With the globalization process, the concept of technology is widespread in the construction of a more simplified society (Harvey, 2008). Over time, technology evolves and transforms, during this process, communication and culture follow the changes. Companies inserted in this sociocultural network seek to communicate with the consumer, and thus the positioning is irrefutable in this marketing process. If technology, communication, and culture change and transform over time, then brand positioning must also follow this movement (Sant'Anna, 1998). Advertising uses the word technology as a sales argument and to position the brand in the minds of consumers, however, there is confusion in the representation of graphic visuality in technology companies when it comes to giving imagery meaning to the technology itself. It is believed that part of it is given by the cultural, political, and tooling aspects available for these constructions, as well as, it is intended to study the possible cause of hypertrophy of the aesthetic function in communication products, a concept addressed by Perassi (2001) when elucidating a pathology of representations that mischaracterize the referential and advertising function. Based on this context, the theme of this proposal will describe the evolution process of the graphic-symbolic communication positioning of the Multilaser technological brand, and thus analyze the changes in positioning from the perspective of design. The chosen brand brings relevance to the study because it went through historical milestones in its business and communication structure, which will contribute to the descriptive analysis of its evolution. The company was founded in Brazil in 1987. It started operating in the printer and photocopying segment, recycling cartridges until 2003, after the company entered the computer, accessories, and cell phone line, and consequently changed its positioning and starts to compete with major players in the world technological market. It currently has 44 thousand points of sale in Brazil, and portfolio of 15 departments. The problem of the proposal takes into account a large amount of importation of technological products, and soon it is believed in the importation of communication, and design references. The study is justified by the need to assess the perception of confusion in graphic representation and hypertrophy of the aesthetic function in communication in the Brazilian technological segment. To achieve the result, a qualitative methodological approach will be used, aimed at the perception of meanings that are intrinsic in beliefs, values, and attitudes in human relationships. Therefore, so that the research objectives are achieved, the study will be divided into three stages of development: exploratory, bibliographical, and documentary. The discussions that take place in this proposal bring the relationship between communication and culture, visual communication as a form of brand positioning, as well as graphic advertising representation in communication from the perspective of design. The study will be limited to graphic products for advertising communication, which is expected to understand a look at the advancement of knowledge in visuality and graphic-symbolic positioning of Brazilian technology brands, as well as the role of professionals in the field of design.

Abstract:

A technical problem is identified and needs to be visualised through developing a graphic model and completing drawings. The basic knowledge of the writing and reading technical drawings is learnt in the Engineering Graphics course. In this paper drawings are treated as semiotic signs applying Peirce´s triadic model of representation. The representation of an object (future product) can take different forms: icons, indexes and symbols. On the other hand, for the image of an object, there must be three modes: iconic relation - firstness, indexical relation – secondness, and symbolic relation – thirdness. Various forms of graphic representation of the spur gear, i.e. icon, index and symbol, are presented.

Abstract:

The article deals with the leading issues in the children's literature of the Ukrainian Diaspora writers. Among the key themes are the following such as historical, patriotic, religious and Christian topics, which are considered through the image of “The Self”. This concept includes the image of the Motherland, historically native land, prominent figures (Taras Shevchenko, hetmans of Ukraine), the family line, national symbols (the flag, the trident) and religious and Christian symbols (the church, the blessing). The idea of preserving the cultural identity and the national identity of Ukrainians is prevalent through the concept of “The Self”.

Full text

Abstract:

Indexing video data is essential for providing content based access. In this paper, we consider how database technology can offer an integrated framework for modeling and querying video data. As many concerns in video (e.g., modeling and querying) are also found in databases, databases provide an interesting angle to attack many of the problems. From a video applications perspective, database systems provide a nice basis for future video systems. More generally, database research will provide solutions to many video issues even if these are partial or fragmented. From a database perspective, video applications provide beautiful challenges. Next generation database systems will need to provide support for multimedia data (e.g., image, video, audio). These data types require new techniques for their management (i.e., storing, modeling, querying, etc.). Hence new solutions are significant. This paper develops a data model and a rule-based query language for video content based indexing and retrieval. The data model is designed around the object and constraint paradigms. A video sequence is split into a set of fragments. Each fragment can be analyzed to extract the information (symbolic descriptions) of interest that can be put into a database. This database can then be searched to find information of interest. Two types of information are considered: (1) the entities (objects) of interest in the domain of a video sequence, (2) video frames which contain these entities. To represent these information, our data model allows facts as well as objects and constraints. We present a declarative, rule-based, constraint query language that can be used to infer relationships about information represented in the model. The language has a clear declarative and operational semantics. This work is a major revision and a consolidation of [12, 13].

Abstract:

The article deals with the technology of visualizing fictional text (poetry) with the help of emoji symbols in the Emoji Maker platform that not only activates students’ thinking, but also develops creative attention, makes it possible to reproduce the meaning of poetry in a succinct way. The application of this technology has yielded the significance of introducing a computer being emoji in the study and mastering of literature is absolutely logical: an emoji, phenomenologically, logically and eidologically installed in the digital continuum, is separated from the natural language provided by (ethno)logy, and is implicitly embedded into (cosmo)logy. The technology application object is the text of the twentieth century Cuban poet José Ángel Buesa. The choice of poetry was dictated by the appeal to the most important function of emoji – the expression of feelings, emotions, and mood. It has been discovered that sensuality can reconstructed with the help of this type of meta-linguistic digital continuum. It is noted that during the emoji design in the Emoji Maker program, due to the technical limitations of the platform, it is possible to phenomenologize one’s own essential-empirical reconstruction of the lyrical image. Creating the image of the lyrical protagonist sign, it was sensible to apply knowledge in linguistics, philosophy of language, psychology, psycholinguistics, literary criticism. By constructing the sign, a special emphasis was placed on the facial emogram, which also plays an essential role in the transmission of a wide range of emotions, moods, feelings of the lyrical protagonist. Consequently, the Emoji Maker digital platform allowed to create a new model of digital presentation of fiction, especially considering the psychophysiological characteristics of the lyrical protagonist. Thus, the interpreting reader, using a specific digital toolkit – a visual iconic sign (smile) – reproduces the polylaterial metalinguistic multimodality of the sign meaning in fiction. The effectiveness of this approach is verified by the poly-functional emoji ousia, tested on texts of fiction.
