Spatial Modeling for Building Design Evaluation: from Visual Landscape Quality Assessment to Devaluation Risk Estimation

Adam Robert Swietek

Zoning reform is a crucial tool for cities to adapt to contemporary challenges. However, its implementation remains challenging. Property owners, with a vested interest in the value of their neighborhoods, are sensitive to local developments and the potent ...

Media Coverage of 3D Visual Tools Used in Urban Participatory Planning

Jens Ingensand, Thibaud Nicolas Chassin

The opportunities provided by adopting digitally-generated visual tools in urban participatory planning are compelling. These visual tools can promote interactions between authorities and citizens and among citizens. However, the urban participatory practi ...

Imagine the Unseen World: A Benchmark for Systematic Generalization in Visual World Models

Caglar Gulcehre

Systematic compositionality, or the ability to adapt to novel situations by creating a mental model of the world using reusable pieces of knowledge, remains a significant challenge in machine learning. While there has been considerable progress in the lang ...

Single fraction and hypofractionated radiosurgery for perioptic meningiomas-tumor control and visual outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Constantin Tuleasca

Perioptic meningiomas, defined as those that are less than 3 mm from the optic apparatus, are challenging to treat with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Tumor control must be weighed against the risk of radiation-induced optic neuropathy (RION), as both tu ...

Out-of-body illusion induced by visual-vestibular stimulation

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka, Florian Lance, Hsin-Ping Wu, Estelle Nakul

Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are characterized by the subjective feeling of being located outside one's physical body and perceiving one's own body from an elevated perspective looking downwards. OBEs have been correlated with abnormal integration of bod ...

Interactive Digital Engagement With Visual Artworks and Cultural Artefacts Enhances User Aesthetic Experiences in the Laboratory and Museum

Martin Vetterli, Christine Mohr, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz

Digital technologies reshape the way we interact with our environment, including with artworks. Advanced computational imaging solutions allow having extremely high-resolution digital reproductions of artworks outside museums, presumably increasing artwork ...

A large scale study of reader interactions with images on Wikipedia

Tiziano Piccardi

Wikipedia is the largest source of free encyclopedic knowledge and one of the most visited sites on the Web. To increase reader understanding of the article, Wikipedia editors add images within the text of the article's body. However, despite their widespr ...

New particle formation event detection with Mask R-CNN

Lubna Dada

Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is an important source of climate-relevant aerosol particles which has been observed at many locations globally. To study this phenomenon, the first step is to identify whether an NPF event occurs or not on a given ...

Unraveling brain interactions in vision: the example of crowding

Michael Herzog, Vitaly Chicherov, Maya Anna Jastrzebowska

Crowding, the impairment of target discrimination in clutter, is the standard situation in vision. Traditionally, crowding is explained with (feedforward) models, in which only neighboring elements interact, leading to a “bottleneck” at the earliest stages ...

Combining Visual and Textual Features for Semantic Segmentation of Historical Newspapers

Frédéric Kaplan, Maud Ehrmann, Sofia Ares Oliveira, Raphaël Barman

The massive amounts of digitized historical documents acquired over the last decades naturally lend themselves to automatic processing and exploration. Research work seeking to automatically process facsimiles and extract information thereby are multiplyin ...

Concept Discovery for The Interpretation of Landscape Scenicness

Devis Tuia

In this paper, we study how to extract visual concepts to understand landscape scenicness. Using visual feature representations from a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), we learn a number of Concept Activation Vectors (CAV) aligned with semantic concepts ...

Epistemic Images in Early-Modern Mixed Mathematics

Simon François Dumas Primbault

Challenging Ancient textual authorities, images are ubiquitous in the early-modern regime of knowledge: from Vesalius’ De humani corporis fabrica to Newton’s Principia through Hooke’s Micrographia, illustrations, depictions, figures, diagrams, and schemati ...

Visualizing constructive alignment in the process of course design

Marc Laperrouza

Course design in higher education is often approached in a very linear and text-based manner. The paper presents a visual tool in the form of a canvas aimed at accompanying teachers in the design of courses. The canvas can be used in an individual or co-te ...

Learning How To Recognize Faces In Heterogeneous Environments

Tiago De Freitas Pereira

Face recognition is a mature field in biometrics in which several systems have been proposed over the last three decades. Such systems are extremely reliable under controlled recording conditions and it has been deployed in the field in critical tasks, suc ...

New Approaches to Artistic Synthesis Relying on Visual Perception

Mahmut Sami Arpa

Artists often take advantage of the limitations of the human visual system to create art that provides new experiences for the observers. Similarly, in this thesis, we explore new computational artistic compositions that create new visual experiences by re ...

Towards Human-Centric Lighting for Office Buildings: Pilot Study on the Interactions of Visual, Perceptual and Non-Visual Effects of Workplace (Day) Lighting

Marilyne Andersen, Victoria Eugenia Soto Magán

Although knowledge about the impact of light on individuals beyond vision is becoming substantial and less and less controversial, there is still a gap on how to properly address what type of lighting quality one should seek in an indoor space. What consti ...

The role of one-shot learning in #TheDress

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig

#TheDress is remarkable in two aspects. First, there is a bimodal split of the population in the perception of the dress's colors (white/gold vs. black/blue). Second, whereas interobserver variance is high, intra-observer variance is low, i. e., the percep ...

A Pocket Sized Foldable Quadcopter for Situational Awareness and Reconnaissance

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev

Flying robots are rapidly becoming an essential tool in search and rescue missions because they can rapidly gather information from inaccessible or unsafe locations, thus increasing safety and rapidity of interventions. With this aim, we present a pocket s ...

Light-driven model for identifying indicators of non-visual health potential in the built environment

María Lovísa Ámundadóttir

This thesis introduces a new approach to characterize and evaluate ocular light exposure based on the discovery of novel blue light-sensitive photoreceptors in the human eye. These photoreceptors are the primary mediators of 'non-visual' responses impactin ...

Visual impact assessment of BIPV in building retrofits using saliency models

Ran Xu

Limited fossil energy resources and the potential danger of nuclear power plants led to growing popularity of solar energy. In Switzerland, Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) is expected to be responsible for up to quarter of the energy production fro ...
