Hussain Learning Relevant Eye Movement Feature Spaces Across UsersKalle
In this paper we predict the relevance of images based on a low-dimensional
feature space found using several users’ eye movements. Each user is given an image-based search task, during which their eye movements are extracted using a Tobii eye tracker. The users also provide us with explicit feedback regarding the relevance of images. We demonstrate that by using a greedy Nyström algorithm on the eye movement features of different users, we can find a suitable low-dimensional feature space for learning. We validate the suitability of this feature space by projecting the eye movement features of a new user into this space, training an online learning algorithm using these features, and showing that the number of mistakes (regret over time) made in predicting relevant images is lower than when using the original eye movement features. We also plot
Recall-Precision and ROC curves, and use a sign test to verify the statistical significance of our results.

This document discusses using eye movement data to infer image relevance in a content-based image retrieval system. An experiment was conducted where 10 participants viewed images from 101 categories to perform image searching tasks. Eye movement data including fixation duration, fixation count, and number of revisits was analyzed. The results show that fixation duration and count were significantly higher for positively relevant images compared to irrelevant images. This suggests eye movement data could provide an implicit form of relevance feedback to improve image retrieval systems.
A decision tree was then developed to predict user feedback during the tasks based on the eye tracking measures. It achieved over 87% accuracy, demonstrating the potential of using natural eye movement as a robust source of relevance feedback to bridge the semantic gap in
Pounamu, or greenstone jade, is an important material for Maori people found primarily in New Zealand's South Island, which led to it being named Te Wahi Pounamu or "The Place of Pounamu." When Europeans like Captain Cook arrived, they observed beautiful Maori weapons crafted from the carved pounamu, and Maori would make special trips following trails to collect the stone to carve with diamond tools.

Liang Content Based Image Retrieval Using A Combination Of Visual Features An...Kalle
Image retrieval technology has been developed for more than twenty years. However, the current image retrieval techniques cannot achieve a satisfactory recall and precision. To improve the effectiveness and efficiency of an image retrieval system, a novel content-based image retrieval method with a combination of image segmentation and eye tracking data is proposed in this paper. In the method, eye tracking data is collected by a non-intrusive table mounted eye tracker at a sampling rate of 120 Hz, and the corresponding fixation data is used to locate the human’s Regions of Interest (hROIs) on the segmentation result from the JSEG algorithm. The hROIs are treated as important informative segments/objects and used in the image matching. In addition, the relative gaze duration of each hROI is used to weigh the similarity measure for image retrieval. The similarity measure proposed in this paper is based on a retrieval strategy emphasiz-ing the most important regions. Experiments on 7346 Hemera color images annotated manually show that the retrieval results from our proposed approach compare favorably with conventional content-based image retrieval methods, especially when the important regions are difficult to be located based on visual features.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
1) The music video tells the story of a teenage girl getting ready for a night out who ends up being beaten up after leading men on and dropping them at a party.
2) Scenes will flash between the girl getting ready and her lifeless body on the floor to foreshadow what happens.
3) At the end of the video, the band is shown playing in the street with her to bookend the story.
1) The music video tells the story of a teenage girl getting ready for a night out at a local gig wearing revealing clothing who proceeds to flirt with multiple men but rejects their advances.
2) During the party, she is seen behaving this way by a group of girls who follow her home and beat her up as retaliation.
3) The video contrasts upbeat music with a dark and mysterious atmosphere to convey a message about the consequences of using and discarding people.
The document discusses the casting choices for various roles in a music video. The main female character, Amy Power, was chosen because she is attractive and can look "revealing and 'slutty'" for the video. Jamie Nuttall was chosen to be the man she kisses because he is reasonably tall and good looking. Amy Bone was chosen to play Jamie's girlfriend because she is attractive and gets along with Jamie. Katharine Levy was chosen to play the girl that gets picked on because she is a good actress that can be comical. The band Fire Drive Tiger, which the document's author is the lead singer of, was chosen to play themselves in the video for convenience. Various male and female extras were chosen
Katherine Brittain selected final images for an ancillary task involving a band. She chose individual pictures of the singer, guitarist, bassist, and drummer that showed each band member well. She also selected a group shot of the full band, though some editing would be needed to adjust sizes and remove a t-shirt graphic. Additionally, Katherine chose a solo shot of the singer that could be edited to resemble a Rhianna album cover.
This document provides an analysis of the music video for Miley Cyrus's song "See You Again". It summarizes that the video simply shows Miley singing on stage to a large audience with two male backup dancers. Though it lacks a storyline, it effectively shows Miley as a performer. The genre is described as teen film, aimed at audiences aged 8-15 years old. Miley's revealing but covered outfit and the male dancers' tight clothing appeal to this young audience. Overall, the analyst believes key elements of Miley's video could work well for the up-and-coming band Fire Drive Tiger by showing them performing for a crowd.

BAND COSTUMES:
the hardest thing we had to decide when designing the band costumes was how to
make the lead singer different from the main character but have sex appeal too.
I researched Paramore's video for CrushCrushCrush for my inspiration as they are a
simialr band to Fire Drive Tiger. I saw that the lead singer wore very everyday clothes
that suited her band. They were rock and roll yet she could be seen walking around in
them everyday. I think we need a simialr design for our video as it will show the
contrast between the two characters. I also looked at Katy Perry's video I Kissed a
Girl to see how I could add a bit of sex appeal to the design. The message we wanted
to send was that you can be sexy and have fun but dont do it by hurting other people.
In Katy Perry's video she wear very short dresses with heart shaped corset tops similar
to the image on the left. I like the style of these as theyre feminine not too revealing
and sexy.
Also i found this image that i liked on the internet and thought i could use a similsar
style like this for the singer. I really like the skinny jeans and high heels combination.
Possibly combined with a similar top to above.
I had to think of what colours to put the singer in. We needed something different
from the main character but which didnt look strange when stood next to her. My
partner and I eventually decided on green, green is reds complimentry colour and goes
2. well with red hair. We also decided on black skinny jeans with black heels. It was not
as difficult to find a costume for the singer as we did not have to show her character
and personality so much, but we did need the singer to look like part of a band.
This is the overall costume we came up with:
As you can see the top is green with a heart shaped top to compliment the red. It is
sexy but covers up enough to look different from the main character.
The jeans are tight fitting and figure hugging yet again they cover up enough to be
different.
Finally the shoes give the singer height and confidence, they are feminine yet rock
and roll.
Using our research we were able to create the perfect costume for our singer, i think it
will work well, look good in our video and contrast with our main character.
We simply asked the rest of the band to wear the kind of things they would usually
wear to a gig. We showed them these pictures for inspiration:
1. We liked the style of the men in this image because although they are quite casual
they are individual and reasonably smartly dressed. I think this kind of outfit would be
good for the band because it does not destract too much from the action also it blends
3. well together.
2. we also liked this style as we wanted
the boys to still look rock and roll and a bit edgy. We liked the skinny jeans and the
shirts, a combination of these two images would work well.
This is what the band wore for the practice room scenes:
This outfit works because it is reasonably subtle yets looks rock and roll.
Again this outfit works because it suits the drummer yet does not draw the eye away
from the action.
4. Finally I think this is fine because the colours go with the singer also its smart and
rock and roll.
This is what the band wore for the live gig at the end:
For the same reasons as above again this outfit is fine for the gig environment because
its rock and roll yet it is not overly distracting.
I personally think this outfit could have done with some more colour but due to the
lighting being so good this did not seem to matter overall.
5. This outfit is good because it is smart but also looks good under the lights.
LOCATION DESIGN FOR THE BAND:
Amy and I decided that from looking at our research if the band is not directly
involved with the story of the music video they are usually filmed separately in a
appropriately decorated space. For
example again Paramore's Misery Business video they play in a room with the
word'riot' all over the walls which is the name of the album they are releasing. We
will use the same technique with Fire Drive Tiger's logo all over the walls. We are
going to use the room the band practice in as the band are accustumed to playing in
this area. Also it will be easy to access and to decorate.
We have also selected the Drama Studio
in our school for the gig. This facility has a raised stage and also has the lighting
equipment we will need to perform under. however we will need to book this venue
out before hand.
We also plan to play in the street at one point narrating the main character's story as
she walks past. The location is a back street of houses, it is quite a quiet place so it
will not be a problem filming in this location.
