We propose a new viewport-based multi-metric fusion (MMF) approach for visual quality assessment of 360-degree (omnidirectional) videos. Our method is based on computing multiple spatio-temporal objective quality metrics (features) on viewports extracted f ...
More than a decade ago the tsam addressed the question of teaching the preservation of modern and contemporary buildings as a new discipline, specifically and radically different from that of new architecture, both in terms of theoretical courses and the c ...
Since its invention in the 19th century, photography has allowed to create durable images of the world around us by capturing the intensity of light that flows through a scene, first analogically by using light-sensitive material, and then, with the advent ...
Point clouds have been gaining importance as a solution to the problem of efficient representation of 3D geometric and visual information. They are commonly represented by large amounts of data, and compression schemes are important for their manipulation ...
The rise of immersive technologies has been recently fuelled by emerging applications which employ advanced content representations. Among various alternatives, point clouds denote a promising solution which has recently drawn a significant amount of inter ...
Daylight has an undeniable value in various aspects of architectural design, ranging from energy efficiency and user comfort to our experience of space. Even though there is substantial evidence of the positive effects of daylight access on occupants, we h ...
Biased decision making by machine learning systems is increasingly recognized as an important issue. Recently, techniques have been proposed to learn non-discriminatory classifiers by enforcing constraints in the training phase. Such constraints are either ...
