This book contains the 61 papers that were accepted for presenta
tion at the 1992 British Machine Vision Conference. Together they
provide a snapshot of current machine vision research throughout
the UK in 24 different institutions. There are also several papers
from vision groups in the rest of Europe, North America and
Australia. At the start of the book is an invited paper from the
first keynote speaker, Robert Haralick. The quality of papers
submitted to the conference was very high and the programme
committee had a hard task selecting around half for presentation at
the meeting and inclusion in these proceedings. It is a positive
feature of the annual BMV A conference that the entire process from
the submission deadline through to the conference itself and
publication of the proceedings is completed in under 5 months. My
thanks to members of the programme committee for their essential
contribution to the success of the conference and to Roger Boyle,
Charlie Brown, Nick Efford and Sue Nemes for their excellent local
organisation and administration of the conference at the University
of Leeds."
From two students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School comes a declaration for our times, and an in-depth look at the making of the #NeverAgain movement that arose after the Parkland, Florida, shooting.
On February 14, 2018, seventeen-year-old David Hogg and his fourteen-year-old sister, Lauren, went to school at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, like any normal Wednesday. That day, of course, the world changed. By the next morning, with seventeen classmates and faculty dead, they had joined the leadership of a movement to save their own lives, and the lives of all other young people in America. It's a leadership position they did not seek, and did not want--but events gave them no choice.
The morning after the massacre, David Hogg told CNN: "We're children. You guys are the adults. You need to take some action and play a role. Work together. Get over your politics and get something done."
This book is a manifesto for the movement begun that day, one that has already changed America--with voices of a new generation that are speaking truth to power, and are determined to succeed where their elders have failed. With moral force and clarity, a new generation has made it clear that problems previously deemed unsolvable due to powerful lobbies and political cowardice will be theirs to solve. Born just after Columbine and raised amid seemingly endless war and routine active shooter drills, this generation now says, "Enough!". This book is their statement of purpose, and the story of their lives. It is the essential guide to the #NeverAgain movement.
This is a completely new guide to the FreerSackler Gallery
collection of nineteenth- and twentieth-century photographs from
Asia and the Middle East, which features some remarkable early
photography as well as newly acquired works by leading modern and
contemporary artists, photographers and film-makers. Highlights
include extremely rare photonegative portraits of Cixi (1835-1908),
the Qing empress dowager of China, photographed by the son of her
senior lady-in-waiting, who may have been the only person ever
permitted to photograph her. There is also a series of photos taken
by Alice Roosevelt Longworth during the Taft Mission to Asia in
1905.
