Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has long been a need to introduce performing-arts enthusiasts and students to the fascinating field of iconography, both as manifested in art history and in its more pragmatic or applied forms. Yet relatively little systematic effort has been made to collect and interpret centuries of such visual evidence in the light of the best available art-historical information, combined with corroborating textual documentation and insights from the histories of performance disciplines. Aspiring iconographers of the performing arts need to be aware that there are often several levels of interpretation which great works of visual art will sustain. This book explores these levels of interpretation: a surface or literal reading, a deeper reading of the work which seeks to enter the mind of the artist and asks how and why he put a given work together, and the deepest reading of the work relating it to the artistic traditions and culture in which the artist lived. In expounding on these levels of iconographic interpretations four discourses by scholars active in the study of visual records are given in relation to traditions, techniques, and trends: performance in general (Katritzky), music (Heck), theatre (Erenstein), and dance (Smith). Effort is made to keep abreast of modern technology influencing iconographic representations as on the Internet and virtual reality.Thomas F. Heck is Professor of Musicology and Head of the Music and Dance Library at the Ohio State University.

Book excerpt: An examination of how artists have combined performance and moving image for decades, anticipating our changing relation to images in the internet era. In Performing Image, Isobel Harbison examines how artists have combined performance and moving image in their work since the 1960s, and how this work anticipates our changing relations to images since the advent of smart phones and the spread of online prosumerism. Over this period, artists have used a variety of DIY modes of self-imaging and circulation—from home video to social media—suggesting how and why Western subjects might seek alternative platforms for self-expression and self-representation. In the course of her argument, Harbison offers close analyses of works by such artists as Robert Rauschenberg, Yvonne Rainer, Mark Leckey, Wu Tsang, and Martine Syms. Harbison argues that while we produce images, images also produce us—those that we take and share, those that we see and assimilate through mass media and social media, those that we encounter in museums and galleries. Although all the artists she examines express their relation to images uniquely, they also offer a vantage point on today's productive-consumptive image circuits in which billions of us are caught. This unregulated, all-encompassing image performativity, Harbison writes, puts us to work, for free, in the service of global corporate expansion. Harbison offers a three-part interpretive framework for understanding this new proximity to images as it is negotiated by these artworks, a detailed outline of a set of connected practices—and a declaration of the value of art in an economy of attention and a crisis of representation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents a review of image denoising algorithms with practical MATLAB implementation guidance Digital Image Denoising in MATLAB provides a comprehensive treatment of digital image denoising, containing a variety of techniques with applications in high-quality photo enhancement as well as multi-dimensional signal processing problems such as array signal processing, radar signal estimation and detection, and more. Offering systematic guidance on image denoising in theories and in practice through MATLAB, this hands-on guide includes practical examples, chapter summaries, analytical and programming problems, computer simulations, and source codes for all algorithms discussed in the book. The book explains denoising algorithms including linear and nonlinear filtering, Wiener filtering, spatially adaptive and multi-channel processing, transform and wavelet domains processing, singular value decomposition, and various low variance optimization and low rank processing techniques. Throughout the text, the authors address the theory, analysis, and implementation of the denoising algorithms to help readers solve their image processing problems and develop their own solutions. Explains how the quality of an image can be quantified in MATLAB Discusses what constitutes a “naturally looking” image in subjective and analytical terms Presents denoising techniques for a wide range of digital image processing applications Describes the use of denoising as a pre-processing tool for various signal processing applications or big data analysis Requires only a fundamental knowledge of digital signal processing Includes access to a companion website with source codes, exercises, and additional resources Digital Image Denoising in MATLAB is an excellent textbook for undergraduate courses in digital image processing, recognition, and statistical signal processing, and a highly useful reference for researchers and engineers working with digital images, digital video, and other applications requiring denoising techniques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been designed to provide guidance for special and mainstream schools in the assessment of pupils' learning from Level P1 up to and including National Curriculum Level 1A. It contains exemplification of the descriptions of attainment for reading, writing and the three strands of mathematics identified in Planning, Teaching and Assessing the Curriculum for Pupils with Learning Difficulties produced by the QCA. The book provides clarification of the performance criteria, through illustrative examples, and supports accurate and consistent teacher assessment of pupils working at these levels. It enables effective monitoring of attainment and progression, which will support the target setting process, and demonstrates how assessments can be used to inform next steps in learning. The authors include examples from special and mainstream schools on reading, writing and mathematics. The book also contains photocopiable proformas for your own use. SENCOs and teachers in special and mainstream schools should find this book helps them to chart the progress of their pupils' learning very effectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawn from theatre events variously described as documentary, post-dramatic, and live art, the texts collected here seldom look or read like plays-some comprise rules for improvisation; others could best be described as theatrical scenarios; a few are transcripts; one includes a soup recipe. Yet amid these dramaturgical tests and trials, one finds poetry: heartbreaking stories of disability and triumph as well as strange, disjointed fairy tales interrupted by communist songs. This volume is an extension of the original theatrical experiments.
