Phantom Curves: Scientific Discovery through Interactive Music Visualization

We introduce phantom curves, a novel music-theoretical concept based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), and document the creative process that led to their discovery. In particular, we emphasize the importance of interactive web applications for musi ...

How do visual skills relate to action video game performance?

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Oh-Hyeon Choung, Arthur Barakat

It has been claimed that video gamers possess increased perceptual and cognitive skills compared to non-video gamers. Here, we examined to which extent gaming performance in CS:GO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) correlates with visual performance.We tes ...

Towards Recognizing Emotion in the Latent Space

Rayan Elalamy

Emotion recognition is usually achieved by collecting features (physiological signals, events, facial expressions, etc.) to predict an emotional ground truth. This ground truth is arguably unreliable due to its subjective nature. In this paper, we introduc ...

Individual differences in visual (mis)perception: a multivariate statistical approach

Aline Françoise Cretenoud

Common factors are omnipresent in everyday life, e.g., people who do well in one cognitive test are likely to perform well in other cognitive tests as well, and vice versa. In vision, however, there seems to be a multitude of specific factors rather than a ...

Performing arts as a tool for university education during a pandemic: Moving from an in vivo to an in vitro modality

Simon Nessim Henein, Joëlle Valterio, Ramiro Tau

This paper analyses how a course on improvisation and collective creation in engineering addressed to master's students in Switzerland moved online. The course offers an experience in the field of performing arts, through embodied and situated activities, ...

GameWikiSum: a Novel Large Multi-Document Summarization Dataset

Boi Faltings, Diego Matteo Antognini

Today's research progress in the field of multi-document summarization is obstructed by the small number of available datasets. Since the acquisition of reference summaries is costly, existing datasets contain only hundreds of samples at most, resulting in ...

Event-Driven Video Coding for Outdoor Wireless Monitoring Cameras

Martin Vetterli, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Zichong Chen

Reducing communication cost is crucial for outdoor wireless monitoring cameras which are constrained by limited energy budgets. From event detection point of view, traditional video coding schemes such as H.264 are inefficient as they ignore the "meaning" ...

Audio-Visual Object Extraction using Graph Cuts

Pierre Vandergheynst, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

We propose a novel method to automatically extract the audio-visual objects that are present in a scene. First, the synchrony between related events in audio and video channels is exploited to identify the possible locations of the sound sources. Video reg ...

Unsupervised Extraction of Audio-Visual Objects

Pierre Vandergheynst, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

We propose a novel method to automatically detect and extract the video modality of the sound sources that are present in a scene. For this purpose, we first assess the synchrony between the moving objects captured with a video camera and the sounds record ...

Temporal Synchronization in Stereoscopic Video: Influence on Quality of Experience and Automatic Asynchrony Detection

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jong Seok Lee, Lutz Goldmann

In this paper, we analyze the inﬂuence of temporal asyn- chrony on the subjective quality of stereoscopic video. Based on our recently created 3D video database, different levels of asynchrony were simulated and a comprehensive subjective test was conducte ...

Towards an evolutionary model of city sustainability

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Darren Robinson, Adil Rasheed, Nataliya Filchakova

In part stimulated by the computer game industry, reasonable progress has been made in the dynamic modelling of urban growth and land use change. However, sustainability considerations in this work remain to be addressed. Yet the environmental impact of ci ...

Computer aided design of digital controls

Roberto Zoia

This paper describes some powerful programs which are very useful for the design of digital controls. These programs work either on IBM personal computers and on VAX computers. This increases the potentialities of users (students, industry). The efficacy o ...
