Explainable Sentiment-Based Reputational Risk Modelling in Ugandan Megaprojects

Reputational risk reflected in digital public discourse can significantly influence stakeholder perceptions, public trust, and decision-making surrounding government megaprojects. Existing computational approaches primarily focus on sentime...

A new image similarity metric for a perceptual and transparent geometric and chromatic assessment

Abstract Full-reference image quality assessment metrics such as PSNR and SSIM misalign with human perceptual judgments on texture and shape distortions, a limitation documented across multiple benchmarks. Deep perceptual metrics such as LP...

Post-democratic discursive hegemony – a natural language processing-based analysis of Hungarian parliamentary discourses between 1998-2020

The parliament, as a key component of the public sphere, is both a reflection of and a stage for the post-democratic transition. Our study examines Hungarian parliamentary discourse as an indicator of a transition in which democratic instit...

Local, authentique, durable : la gastronomie entre ancrage territorial et dynamiques globales.

Since the early twenty-first century, ecological, economic, and geopolitical crises have intensified challenges related to food systems, reshaping dietary practices and individual relationships with the environment. Sustainable food consump...

Exploring Scientific Outputs about Globalization: A Conceptual Framework Study

IntroductionBibliometric analysis is widely acknowledged as a robust and systematic approach for examining extensive scholarly literature. It serves as a vital tool for mapping the landscape of contemporary research across various academic ...

Assessing GPT's capabilities in consumer food survey analysis: A comparative approach for understanding food technophobia and novel protein perceptions

This study explores the application of GPT models for automating consumer food survey analysis, focusing on Chinese consumers' acceptance of plant-based foods, cultured meat, insect-based proteins, and microbial proteins. Traditional survey...

Documenting Computer Vision Datasets

In industrial computer vision, discretionary decisions surrounding the production of image training data remain widely undocumented. Recent research taking issue with such opacity has proposed standardized processes for dataset documentatio...

Shape, Contour and Grouping in Computer Vision

An image based application in Matlab for automated modelling and morphological analysis of insect wings

Abstract Despite extensive research on the biomechanics of insect wings over the past years, direct mechanical measurements on sensitive wing specimens remain very challenging. This is especially true for examining delicate museum specimens...

Mobile system for road sign detection and recognition with template matching

This paper explores the effective approach to road sign detection and recognition based on mobile devices. Detecting and recognising road signs is a challenging matter because of different shapes, complex background and irregular sign illum...

Shape Perception in Human and Computer Vision

AN EXTRACTION OF KEY VARIABLESFOR LONG-TERM TRENDS USING A MODIFIEDCROSS-IMPACT MATRIX

The traditional approach to forecasting lies in the assumption that, byapplying a set of powerful analytic tools, the future could be predictedaccurately enough to choose an appropriate strategic direction for it. Theprocess often involves ...

Using cascade CNN-LSTM-FCNs to identify AI-altered video based on eye state sequence

Deep learning is notably successful in data analysis, computer vision, and human control. Nevertheless, this approach has inevitably allowed the development of DeepFake video sequences and images that could be altered so that the changes ar...

Design of an Apple Harvesting Robot Based on Hybrid Pneumatic-Electric Drive System

This paper presents the design of a high-efficiency apple harvesting robot based on a hybrid pneumatic-electric drive system, capable of operating around the clock. The robotic system comprises a mobile platform with two degrees of freedom ...

Lipid vesicle shape analysis from populations using light video microscopy and computer vision.

We present a method for giant lipid vesicle shape analysis that combines manually guided large-scale video microscopy and computer vision algorithms to enable analyzing vesicle populations. The method retains the benefits of light microscop...

Fundamentals of Computer Vision

Computer vision has widespread and growing application including robotics, autonomous vehicles, medical imaging and diagnosis, surveillance, video analysis, and even tracking for sports analysis. This book equips the reader with crucial mat...

Computer vision vs. human vision

In object recognition (classification), it was known that the human brain processes visual information in semantic space mainly, that is, extracting the semantically meaningful features such as line-segments, boundaries, shape and so on. Bu...
