Next lesson in art history, and allow the computer to teach

Classification according to artists and styles of painting, to humans is difficult; and in a variety of artists and styles of clear links between difficulty is greater. Therefore, if you let the machine do the work is definitely impossible, but is it so?

In academic research, there are few areas of computer science and machine learning there is no influence, one of which is the history of art. Even the most advanced algorithms, analysis of authors, content and style of painting is almost impossible.

However, with the development of machine learning techniques in recent years (such as depth Convolutional neural networks), this seems to be changing. As recently as a few years, computer scientists have developed the ability to match human, sometimes even beyond the human pattern recognition algorithms.

What genre is this a painting? Ask's algorithm

Babak Saleh and Ahmed Elgammal from Rutgers University in New Jersey, they make this technology a reality. The two people using the latest machine learning techniques, training algorithm for precise identification properties of painting, including works of artists and styles, which had never been done before.

More importantly, this technique can be used in the overall style of painting, identifying links between artists, many art historians usually takes years to understand that.

Saleh and Elgammal first created an image database, which includes over 15 centuries, more than 80,000 pieces of more than 1000 artists paintings. These covered 27 different styles of painting, includes more than 1500 painting examples within each style. Researchers also classifies the genre of the work including, city, landscape and so on.

, This paper studies staff will set the image subset, then take advantage of the subset to train different types of machine learning algorithms to identify the specified features paintings, including some common, lower-level features, such as the overall color of paintings; later training machine learning higher level features, such as depicted in the paintings of objects (like a horse, crosses). Eventually, the machine learning can be implemented with 400 different dimension vectors describe the paintings. Moschino case

Next, the researchers to identify a picture of the machine it has never seen the painting and the results have been impressive, the machines can accurately identify the artist, accuracy rate of up to 60%, know that artificial recognition accuracy is 45%. But most of all, machine learning techniques to provide a solution, you can better understand the characteristics of art of these human struggles.

Art history might be able to let the computer school

On the classification of paintings but, machine learning, unable to do the best for the moment.

To cite an example, Saleh and Elgammal machine learning algorithms is difficult to distinguish between kamier·bishaluo and Claude Monet's paintings. But artists need to do a little research can only clear distinction, late 19th century and early 20th century two people in France is very active, and Acad e Mie Suisse in Paris art college, using these backgrounds, experts know Camille Pissarro and Claude Monet are a pair of good friends and each other will also share their experiences of the arts. So, if their art works are somewhat similar, is not surprising.

There is one example, machine learning or well differentiated between Monet and United States Impressionist painter caierde·hasamu, which by the France impressionist painters and Monet's impression. Similar to the Association, it needs to be judged.

In addition to the above-mentioned deficiencies, machines, it can look for links between the artistic style. For example, it will often confuse the abstract expression of attention and action painting because the artist on canvas through drip or dump paint paints to complete the work. Saleh and Elgammal said that if a human observer should be able to understand this confusion. They said, "the action can be seen as abstract expressionism in painting a seed type. "

Machine algorithms in similar paintings can also "find the difference." Like expressionist School of painting, and Fauvism, which would normally be considered to be a form of expressionist School of painting. In addition, machine algorithm can also be linked humanism and Renaissance art style, which clearly reflects the fact that moral values was integrated into in early Renaissance paintings.

Other links including, early Renaissance painting and Renaissance, Impressionist and Postimpressionist paintings, late Cubism and synthetic Cubist painting.

These links if you want to allow art historians to analyse it, may take decades or even hundreds of years, but by machine learning methods, just a few months. This is very important for the study of art history, the significance of new machine learning algorithms have an application is that you can pick out paintings with similar characteristics (see chart). It will be a very powerful tool, as historians may never know what links exist between different artists, and how different artists on works between interaction, and machine learning can explore more.

Machine learning algorithms provide a new form of artistic exploration, might bring unexpected results in the art world!

Special 12 times times the teleconverter lens for iPhone 5 experience

In order to make up for the iPhone can't shoot distant objects unfortunately, many manufacturers have external camera work. This time we're going to test these so-called teleconverter lens to see if it can play its due role, or is it just a chicken parts?

Valentino iPhone 6 case

Special 12 times times the teleconverter lens for iPhone 5 experience

This is the teleconverter lens, in the word 12X written on the box. After you open the box, this is the teleconverter ontology. There is a dust cover to protect the lens before and after. This was shot on a mobile phone.

Select black parts will be able to focus, focus different surface lens position will change. Set in the ring can be pulled off, allow you to adjust tightness and placement. In addition the fittings at the bottom there: specification, protective pouch, cleaning cloths, iPhone 5 special package also have a tripod.

IPhone 5 cover fitting is also quite good. Later there's a spin into the thread of the camera. Then you can connect the camera up. Interface location, very tight, you don't need to worry about. After you connect a tripod form. Through the lens, you can in a variety of positions to shoot.

IPhone 5 is provided without lens. Add a camera above the center of the screen the snack bar.

Join shot convenience store downstairs, this shot is blurry, because twisting the lens focusing when iPhone is continuously autofocus ... ... And the telephoto, slight jitter will seriously affect the imaging screen, shooting the best tripod or find a place to fix it with their own hands.

12X footage, this film would have been much clearer, but simply increase margin, tantamount to in front of the camera and a telescope, lens distortion is very serious, but there is only the central part is clear, around empty because of lens distortion. Valentino iPhone case

Summary

Useful is certainly useful, but the effect is not very good. This focal length is fixed, if you have to shoot objects far enough, maybe would not have the effect you want (this shot is the biggest mishap this), they are able to use that not many people. And plus the lens must be very stable and can take clear pictures, and lens distortion is also very serious.

Thus, it seems, the practicability of this lens is not too high. This shot is a series of small members with a $ 120 to buy back, do you need to buy, you do not have this requirement. Valentino iPhone 6 case

Sound salvation best mobile audio peripheral Vamp Verza

V-Moda for iPhone smartphones last year designed a headphone amplifier and DAC shell. The design is great, but the price is not cheap. V-Moda evaluation of new Vamp Verza again this year is not bad, it is an infinitely flexible products, can be used in the iPhone, Android phones, even on your computer, but it is likely to have for exactly the same reason failed predecessors. Paul Frank Paul Frank cases

Below is the working principle of Vamp Verza: Vamp Verza combined headphone amplifier and digital-analog signal converter function can be applied to most mobile phones on the market. This is to make your mobile phone sound better. First of all, on music files by one and zeros into an analog signal for doing a better job, and second, keep your headphone sound becomes even greater. I am honored Verza development to listen to it a few times, I can safely say that it makes your music sound better. There is no doubt that even a little bit louder, it brought an unusual degree of Audition results.

Not attach the DAC on the single shell, V-Moda has done for many cell-phone products shell. Currently, specifically for the iPhone 4/S and Samsung Galaxy s III of shell, iPhone 5 casing has been designed, in the future will be designed for the Samsung Galaxy s case.

Therefore, up to a point, V-Moda had compensated for the Vamp's fatal flaw: specifically designed for generation of mobile products, the price is too expensive. In fact, last year the logic behind the product is justified-there are a lot of iPhone, there is enough music lovers to make products became popular. It reflects their function.

In the end, the problem is price: Vamp Verza sells for $ 600 (equivalent to about 3730), specifically designed for each phone costs $ 100 (equivalent to about 622). For us, you need a wireless phone accessories cost a lot of money. In other words, it makes your music sound great, it need only take a fraction of the market can be successful. At present, the products can be ordered on V-Moda website.
