Picture language is more intuitive than text symbols, more in line with the characteristics of children’s thinking, and can stimulate children’s interest in reading. Hina Baek is a famous picture book writer in Korea. Her unique picture book visual style is represented through hand-crafted miniature figures, carefully designed lighting, and photography. This study utilizes how to create engaging imagery from the book How to Be a Children’s Book Illustrator to analyze Baek’s picture books. From this preliminary study, the research proposes revising the analysis method to further investigate the characteristics of children’s picture books from the background elements and picture elements.展开更多

The huge-volume high- dimensional spectral measurements are organized by the affinity graph where each node in this graph only connects to its local neighbors and each edge in this graph represents local similarity information. By normalizing the affinity graph appropriately, the diffusion operator of the underlying hyperspectral imagery is well-defined, which means that the Markov random walk can be simulated on the hyperspectral imagery. Therefore, the diffusion geometric coordinates, derived from the eigenfunctions and the associated eigenvalues of the diffusion operator, can capture the intrinsic geometric information of the hyperspectral imagery well, which gives more enhanced representation results than traditional linear methods, such as principal component analysis based methods. For large-scale full scene hyperspectral imagery, by exploiting the backbone approach, the computation complexity and the memory requirements are acceptable. Experiments also show that selecting suitable symmetrization normalization techniques while forming the diffusion operator is important to hyperspectral imagery representation.展开更多
