3D Scanning/Printing: A Technological Stride in Sculpture

The creation of innovative tools, objects and artifacts that introduce abstract ideas in the real world is a necessary step for the evolution process and characterize the creative capacity of civilization. Sculpture is based on the available technology for its creation process and is strongly related to the level of technological sophistication of each era. This paper analyzes the evolution of basic sculpture techniques (carving, lost-wax casting and 3D scanning/printing), and their importance as a culture footprint. It also presents and evaluates the added creative capacities of each technological step and the different methods of 3D scanning/printing concerning sculpture. It is also an attempt to define the term “material poetics”, which is connected to sculpture artifacts. We conclude that 3D scanning/printing is an important sign of civilization, although artifacts lose a part of material poetics with additive manufacturing. Subsequently, there are various causes of the destruction of sculptures, leaving a hole in the history of art. Finally, this paper showcases the importance of 3D scanning/printing in salvaging cultural heritage, as it has radically altered the way we “backup” objects.

Creation and Spatial Analysis of 3D City Modeling based on GIS Data

The 3D city model is one of the crucial topics that are still under analysis by many engineers and programmers because of the great advancements in data acquisition technologies and 3D computer graphics programming. It is one of the best visualization methods for representing reality. This paper presents different techniques for the creation and spatial analysis of 3D city modeling based on Geographical Information System (GIS) technology using free data sources. To achieve that goal, the Mansoura University campus, located in Mansoura city, Egypt, was chosen as a case study. The minimum data requirements to generate a 3D city model are the terrain, 2D spatial features such as buildings, landscape area and street networks. Moreover, building height is an important attribute in the 3D extrusion process. The main challenge during the creation process is the dearth of accurate free datasets, and the time-consuming editing. Therefore, different data sources are used in this study to evaluate their accuracy and find suitable applications which can use the generated 3D model. Meanwhile, an accurate data source obtained using the traditional survey methods is used for the validation purpose. First, the terrain was obtained from a digital elevation model (DEM) and compared with grid leveling measurements. Second, 2D data were obtained from: the manual digitization from (30 cm) high-resolution imagery, and deep learning structure algorithms to detect the 2D features automatically using an object instance segmentation model and compared the results with the total station survey observations. Different techniques are used to investigate and evaluate the accuracy of these data sources. The procedural modeling technique is applied to generate the 3D city model. TensorFlow & Keras frameworks (Python APIs) were used in this paper; moreover, global mapper, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS and CityEngine software were used. The precision metrics from the trained deep learning model were 0.78 for buildings, 0.62 for streets and 0.89 for landscape areas. Despite, the manual digitizing results are better than the results from deep learning, but the extracted features accuracy is accepted and can be used in the creation process in the cases not require a highly accurate 3D model. The flood impact scenario is simulated as an application of spatial analysis on the generated 3D city model. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-01-08 Full Text: PDF

Computer Technology-Based Three-Dimensional Animation Production System Management

Animation is one of the most fascinating industries in recent years. Nowadays, the most popular three-dimensional animation creation design, three-dimensional animation creation is to rely on CG technology to simulate and realize through the powerful computing power of computers. As designers have higher and higher requirements for animation, the animation creation process has become more complicated, so the skill-based management of the 3D animation creation process will be a problem. This article will study the management of the 3D animation creation system based on computer technology. On the basis of the literature, the relevant theory of the 3D animation creation system is understood, and then the computer technology-based 3D animation creation management system is designed, and the designed system is tested. The test results show that the maximum concurrency of the system in this article The number is 400. After 400, the delay time and packet loss of the system start to rise.

Problems of Harmonization on The Post-Establishment of Omnibus Law on Job Creation

The government has issued Law Number 11 Year 2020 concerning Job Creation (UUCK) on November 2, 2020. Through this law, around 1,200 articles in eighty laws are simplified into one law that regulates the provisions of the replaced laws. The model of simplifying regulations by combining various laws into a law is called the Omnibus Law. The establishment of the UUCK was a form of simplification of regulations related to the job creation process. The statement of the problem of this research is how to harmonize subordinate regulations into law, which was previously an implementing regulation from a law into a law. The research method used is normative juridical which is descriptive analysis. Law No. 12 Year 2011 as amended by Law No. 15 Year 2019 concerning the Establishment of Laws and Regulations states that harmonization was still in the draft stage. Therefore, no provisions govern the harmonization of regulations in force. If there are overlapped regulations both vertically and horizontally under the law, the settlement mechanism is done through the judiciary, namely the Supreme Court. This research concludes that the settlement of the disharmony regulation is resolved through executive review or analysis and evaluation.

Język w procesie kształtowania nowych regionów w Polsce

Language in the Creation Process of the New Regions of PolandThe article concerns the influence of state reform on the evolution of regional identity. The aim of the article is to describe the role of language in these changes. In 1999, sixteen large regions (voivodeships) were established; it is significant that the contemporary names of these voivodeships refer to historical choronyms. The boundaries between administrative divisions and traditional ethnographic regions are indistinct due to the use of variant names like Małopolska, Podkarpacie, Pomorze Zachodnie instead of the formal names województwo małopolskie, podkarpackie, zachodniopomorskie etc., as well as the creation of new names of inhabitants (e.g. Zachodniopomorzanie, Małopolanie, Ślązacy, Lubuszanie) and nomina-abstracta (e.g. “małopolskość”, “podkarpackość”). The meaning of the Polish word region (‘area’, ‘territory’, also ‘private homeland’) became synonymous with województwo (‘voivodeship’, ‘province’). Furthermore, the blurred distinction between geographical and administrative names gives rise to the misconception that dialectal differentiation in Poland is related to the boundaries of voivodeships. Język w procesie kształtowania nowych regionów w PolsceArtykuł dotyczy ewolucji tożsamości regionalnej, jaka dokonała się w wyniku administracyjnej regionalizacji sprzed 20 lat. Celem artykułu jest pokazanie roli języka w tych zmianach. Nazwy 16 województw utworzonych w Polsce w 1999 roku nawiązują do historycznych nazw geograficznych, a same terminy województwo i region traktowane są jako synonimy. Użycie nazw typu Małopolska, Podkarpacie, Pomorze Zachodnie jako wariantywnych nazw województw (zamiast określeń województwo: małopolskie, podkarpackie, zachodniopomorskie itp.), tworzenie nowych nazw mieszkańców (np. Zachodniopomorzanie, Małopolanie, Ślązacy, Lubuszanie), a także abstrakcyjnych nazw cech (np. „małopolskość”, „podkarpackość”) powodują, że zaciera się różnica między podziałem administracyjnym a tradycyjnymi regionami. Mieszanie się nazewnictwa administracyjnego i geograficznego sprzyja również powstawaniu przekonania o istnieniu podziałów gwarowych i dialektalnych odpowiadających granicom województw.

Putting a Spotlight on Validators of Easy-to-Read Content

Easy-to-Read content results from applying text simplification principles to make information accessible for persons with reading and learning difficulties. While both the creation process and simplification principles have gained the interest of scholars and the general public in the past years, the role of validators is still less visible compared with that of writers or translators. This paper sought to put a spotlight on validators by answering the questions of who these professionals are, what tasks they take on, and how they have acquired the necessary knowledge and skills for the job. In doing so, it investigated a subset of the data about validators’ demographical and educational backgrounds and current activity collected in an online survey launched within the innovative framework of the Erasmus+ project Train2Validate.

Graphical integrity issues in open access publications: Detection and patterns of proportional ink violations

Academic graphs are essential for communicating complex scientific ideas and results. To ensure that these graphs truthfully reflect underlying data and relationships, visualization researchers have proposed several principles to guide the graph creation process. However, the extent of violations of these principles in academic publications is unknown. In this work, we develop a deep learning-based method to accurately measure violations of the proportional ink principle (AUC = 0.917), which states that the size of shaded areas in graphs should be consistent with their corresponding quantities. We apply our method to analyze a large sample of bar charts contained in 300K figures from open access publications. Our results estimate that 5% of bar charts contain proportional ink violations. Further analysis reveals that these graphical integrity issues are significantly more prevalent in some research fields, such as psychology and computer science, and some regions of the globe. Additionally, we find no temporal and seniority trends in violations. Finally, apart from openly releasing our large annotated dataset and method, we discuss how computational research integrity could be part of peer-review and the publication processes.
