Canon Explains Exposure

Canon Explains Exposure
A Little About Exposure: Exposure is the amount of light a digital camera's sensor captures when a photo is taken. Too much light results in a washed out photo (overexposed). Too little light and the photo will be too dark (underexposed). A camera's Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO settings directly affect exposure, but more importantly, they allow you to control how each photo will look. Aperture - Control the amount of blur or sharpness around your subject. What it is and what it does: The aperture setting controls the size of the lens opening that allows light into your camera.You can blur the foreground and background that bracket your subject (known as shallow depth of field) by opening up the aperture with a low f-stop number; alternatively, you can keep your photo sharp from the foreground through to the background (known as wide depth of field) by closing the aperture down with a high f-stop number. Foreground and background blur make the subject stand out. Back To Top

Open Xerox: imaging-demos Service Home Page Xerox has extensive expertise in computer vision and imaging and this site presents some of our technologies through a range of easy to use demos. In many cases we use a combination of methods to solve real-world digital information management problems ranging from stock photography, digital asset management and personalised imaging through to cross-media search and smarter document technologies. We include here some mature technologies, and also some experimental demos which are in beta (or even alpha!) New ideas and demos will come and go on the page, as we try out new things and get user feedback. Similar Image Search For many applications, you need to search for similar images based on an image query -- rather than a keyword search on the web which returns images from related web pages that contain those keywords. This demo also allows you to retrieve images based on the output of our image classifier, which you can try out in more detail in the demo below! Image Categorizer

Viacom-Studie: Wie der Second Screen das TV-Verhalten steuert Medien Social Media nimmt immer mehr Einfluss auf das TV-Verhalten. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt die neue internationale Studie der MTV-Mutter Viacom. Unter dem Titel "When Networks Network: TV Gets Social" wird die Beziehung zwischen Fernsehen und der Social-Media-Nutzung durchleuchtet und gefragt, aus welchen Gründen die Zuschauer den Second Screen nutzen und welche Auswirkungen Posts auf Facebook oder Tweets auf das Fernsehverhalten haben. Viacom stützt sich dabei auf Ergebnisse aus Social Media-Tagebüchern in den USA sowie die Untersuchung von Online-Communities in den Staaten, Großbritannien und Deutschland. Die Funktionelle Nutzung: Information steht über allem Die Suche nach Informationen übertrumpft der Analyse zufolge alle anderen motivierenden Faktoren, wenn es um TV-bezogene Social-Media-Nutzung geht. Der Gemeinschaftsaspekt oder "Der Wert von Likes und Followern" Gaming: Social TV-Games spielen eine wichtige Rolle Viacom-Studie: Wie der Second Screen das TV-Verhalten steuert

TNW Pick of the Day: Create Photo Polls With Ovoto If you ever have problems making decisions on what shoes to buy, which gig to go to or where to book your next holiday, this app will likely be right up your street. Ovoto is the product of Ireland-based social search startup HeyStaks, and it’s available to download for free on iOS and Android. So what does it do? In short, it lets you take a photograph and create an impromptu poll to help you reach a decision. The app connects with Facebook and Twitter and lets you ask your friends and followers whether you should do something based around the following seven verbs: buy, sell, go, do, eat, drink and wear. So…how does it work? The app has three main tabs – the first one is your current polls, the second one is the main photo-taking tab from which you also create a new poll, and the last one is polls created by your friends: For each poll you have active, you’ll see the time left on it and the response rates thus far. Meanwhile, you can read all our Pick of the Day selections here.
