  • Digital Imaging Ethics
    Digital Imaging Ethics It is strongly advised that EMS Users follow the MSA Policy on Digital Image Manipulation. "Ethical digital imaging requires that the original uncompressed image file be stored on archival media (e.g., CD-R) without any image manipulation or processing operation. All parameters of the production and acquisition of this file, as well as any subsequent processing steps, must be documented and reported to ensure reproducibility. Generally, acceptable (non-reportable) imaging operations include gamma correction, histogram stretching, and brightness and contrast adjustments. All other operations (such as Unsharp-Masking, Gaussian Blur, etc.) must be directly identified by the author as part of the experimental methodology. However, for diffraction data or any other image data that is used for subsequent quantification, all imaging operations must be reported." This policy was formulated by the Digital Image Processing & Ethics Group of the MSA Education Committee and was adopted as MSA policy at the Summer Council meeting August 2-3, 2003. Guidelines for the proper acquisition and manipulation of scientific digital images: (from Douglas W. Cromey, M.S. - Manager, Cellular Imaging Core Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona) See here for the original article These guidelines were written for life science imaging but are relevant to materials science microscopy as well. 1. Scientific digital images are data that can be compromised by inappropriate manipulations. Images are data arranged spatially in an XY matrix (or grid) and each individual element (pixel) has a numerical value that represents a grayscale or RGB intensity value. These data are a numerical sampling of the specimen as presented by the data acquisition system (e.g., microscope) to the sensor (e.g., CCD camera).

  • Digital Imaging and Printing Selection 92 Image Manipulation Requires Selecting Either a Part of the Image Or the Entire Image to Make Changes
    90 CHAPTER DIGITAL IMAGING and 08 PRINTING Towards a New AgeDesign a New Graphic Towards raphic designers work with visual images, either for Gprint media or for digital media. With the advent of 91 computers, most of the graphic designer’s work is being done using computers. From graphical point of view there is a vast difference between images on paper such as drawings, sketches or photographs and images that you see on the screen of the computers. Images that are created, manipulated and displayed using computers are called digital images. Digital images are different from images drawn or painted on paper in many ways. TYPES OF DIGITAL IMAGES There are two major categories of digital images: raster images and vector images. When images are stored in a computer in the form of a grid of basic picture elements called pixels, then these images are called raster images. The pixels contain the information about colour and brightness. Image-editing programmes can replace or modify the pixels to edit the image Digital Imaging and Imaging Printing Digital in various ways. The pixels can be modified in groups, or individually. There are sophisticated algorithms to achieve this. On the other hand vector images are stored as mathematical descriptions of the image in terms of lines, Bezier curves, and text instead of pixels. This is the main difference between raster and vector images. However, this difference is responsible for the development of two major categories of graphic technologies namely: Raster Graphics and Vector Graphics. Therefore, the image-editing software used by the practicing graphic designers falls under one of these categories.

    Art and Art History 1 ART AND ART HISTORY art.as.miami.edu Dept. Codes: ART, ARH Educational Objectives The Department of Art and Art History provides facilities and instruction to serve the needs of the general student. The program fosters participation and appreciation in the visual arts for students with specialized interests and abilities preparing for careers in the production and interpretation of art and art history. Degree Programs The Department of Art and Art History offers two undergraduate degrees: • The Bachelor of Arts, with tracks in: • Art (General Study) • Art History • Studio Art • The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art, which allows for primary and secondary concentrations in: • Painting • Sculpture • Printmaking • Photography/Digital Imaging • Graphic Design/Multimedia • Ceramics The B.A. requires a minimum of 36 credit hours in the department with a grade of C or higher. The B. A. major is also required to have a minor outside the department. Minor requirements are specified by each department and are listed in the Bulletin. The B.F.A. requires a minimum of 72 credit hours in the department, a grade of C or higher in each course, a group exhibition and at least a 3.0 average in departmental courses. The B.F.A. major is not required to have a minor outside the department. Writing within the Discipline To satisfy the College of Arts and Sciences writing requirement in the discipline, students whose first major is art or art history must take at least one of the following courses for a writing credit: ARH 343: Modern Art, and/or ARH 344: Contemporary Art.
