This book provides a sound mathematical and technical perspective
in functional and structural retina models, presents evaluation
metrics to assess those models, and provides insights about the
models hardware implementation. It begins by introducing the retina
anatomy and its workings in a detailed way suitable for an
engineering audience, while providing the mathematical analysis of
the retina neural response. Moreover, it explores and establishes a
framework for the comparison of retina models by organizing a set
of metrics for testing and evaluating the different models. The
book follows a signal processing perspective, where all models and
metrics are discretized in order to be implemented and tested in a
digital system, such as a computer or a specialized dedicated
hardware device.
The processes of Globalization based on major forms of
entertainment consumption has promoted the interest of enlarged
social actors towards cultural experiencing. Disseminated by social
media, new forms of information and knowledge about exotic and new
tourism destinations have endorsed an increasing interest towards
forms of Cultural Tourism, perceived as a driver of social,
cultural, and economic development of tourism destinations. This
Cultural Tourism turnout results from a significant change on the
traveler's demand, promoted by visitors with higher educational
backgrounds, new travelling behavior, demanding a new and renovated
interest towards Cultural Heritage, namely tangible, intangible, as
well as to storytelling, favoring genuine tourism experiences. Away
from staged authenticity and commodification, these new travelers
prefer local tourism experiences, in order to try to contact with
locals' culture and behaviors and to get in touch with resident's
daily life experiences. The present pandemic context has reaffirmed
the main importance of this direct contact, more connected to local
experiences, by national tourists. With this in mind, we can
understand the importance of a Cultural Route and other tourism
itineraries as integrated offers that combine both the tourism
experience itself and a way for tourists to connect with the
communities, participating in some co-creation activities and above
all to create strong connection with traditions, helping their
economic and socio-cultural development.
