Style-aware robust color transfer, H. Hristova, O. Le Meur, R. Cozot and K. Bouatouch, Computational Aesthetic, 2015.
Transferring features, such as light and colors, between input and reference images is the main objective of color transfer methods. Current state-of-the-art methods focus mainly on the complete transfer of the light and color distributions. However, they do not successfully grasp specific light and color variations in image styles. In this paper, we propose a local method for carrying out a transfer of style between two images. Our method partitions both images to Gaussian distributed clusters by considering their main style features. These features are automatically determined by the classification step of our algorithm. Moreover, we present several novel policies for input/reference cluster mapping, which have not been tackled so far by previous methods. To complete the style transfer, for each pair of corresponding clusters, we apply a parametric color transfer method and a local chromatic adaptation transform. Results, subjective user evaluation as well as objective evaluation show that the proposed method obtains visually pleasing and artifact-free images, respecting the reference style.

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

Introduction to F2i
F2i was created in 2007 by the main Italian public and private financial institutions to facilitate local privatisation
and infrastructure spin-offs from the largest Italian groups
F2i has launched its Second Fund, with total Fund target size € 1,2 bn
‒ With tiotal AuM equal to € 2,5 billion, F2i is the largest
Italian infrastructure asset manager and one of the most
important in Europe
‒ Its portfolio includes some of the major Italian
infrastructure (such as the Milan airports, the broadband
Milan network, the second largest Italian gas distribution
company)
‒ Its Sponsors include: State-owned bank Cassa Depositi e
Prestiti; the two largest Italian Banks (Banca Intesa San
Paolo and Unicredit); some of the largest Banking
Foundations; two Italian Pension Funds; and one major
European asset manager (Ardian)
‒ 35 strong management team with decades of experience in
infrastructure, led by Vito Gamberale (40 years of
experience in the sector)

252’266 km gas distribution networks
150’000 km sewage networks
146 million airport passengers
41 GW renewable energy generation capacity
24’000 km of rail network (1’370 km high speed)

Italy presents various cases in which it excels for its engineering and architectural skills, that allow it to carry
out cutting edge works
…with examples of engineering excellence…
High Speed Rail
It consists of two lines connecting most of Italy’s
major cities (first line connects Turin to Naples,
second Turin to Venice). These lines operate at top
speeds of over 300 km/h.
Several projects are underway to expand the
system. Plan include both more domestic
connections and new international connections
Mose Project
The Mose (Modulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico)
flood protection project is currently being built to
protect Venice and its historic city center from high
water
Moving flood barriers are being erected at the three
inlets of Lido, Malmocco and Chioggia that connect
the Venetian Lagoon with the Adriatic Sea
The project is absolutely unique in the world

Market dislocations, financial constraints, regulatory changes, liberalizations and privatizations are fueling an important flow of quality opportunities
in Italy, particularly in these sectors :
Italian infrastructure includes sectors of particular attractiveness
• Well established RAB-base regulation allowing strong margins and cash generation
• Significant opportunities for consolidation among 250+ gas distributors
• Asset fragmentation
• Ample potential in revenue and cost synergies through coordinated management of several facilities
• Focused roll-out of ultrabroadband infrastructure in selected urban centers
• Substantial opportunities in mobile telephony and broadcasting towers, due to divestments by incumbents
• Strong trend to develop more waste processing facilities, green and brownfield opportunities
• Highly fragmented market, with the first nine operators capturing only 9% total market share
Gas
Toll roads
Telecoms
Waste
Airports
• Opportunity to create a large operator in a core infrastructure sector by participating in selected privatizations
• Italian water network is obsolete, with average distribution losses of 37% and insufficient coverage
• Sector is highly fragmented, with thousands of local operators and only few national playersWater
• Disposal opportunities from over-leveraged utilities in a favorably regulated sector
• Acquisition opportunities in renewable energy generation due to sector fragmentation and sub-optimal operator scalePower
