  • CSS Font Stacks by Classification
    CSS font stacks by classification Written by Frode Helland When Johann Gutenberg printed his famous Bible more than 600 years ago, the only typeface available was his own. Since the invention of moveable lead type, throughout most of the 20th century graphic designers and printers have been limited to one – or perhaps only a handful of typefaces – due to costs and availability. Since the birth of desktop publishing and the introduction of the worlds firstWYSIWYG layout program, MacPublisher (1985), the number of typefaces available – literary at our fingertips – has grown exponen- tially. Still, well into the 21st century, web designers find them selves limited to only a handful. Web browsers depend on the users own font files to display text, and since most people don’t have any reason to purchase a typeface, we’re stuck with a selected few. This issue force web designers to rethink their approach: letting go of control, letting the end user resize, restyle, and as the dynamic web evolves, rewrite and perhaps also one day rearrange text and data. As a graphic designer usually working with static printed items, CSS font stacks is very unfamiliar: A list of typefaces were one take over were the previous failed, in- stead of that single specified Stempel Garamond 9/12 pt. that reads so well on matte stock. Am I fighting the evolution? I don’t think so. Some design principles are universal, independent of me- dium. I believe good typography is one of them. The technology that will let us use typefaces online the same way we use them in print is on it’s way, although moving at slow speed.

    Vehicle Color Recognition using Convolutional Neural Network Reza Fuad Rachmadi∗ and I Ketut Eddy Purnamay Department of Multimedia and Networking Engineering Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, Surabaya, Indonesia 60111 Email: ∗[email protected], [email protected] Abstract—Vehicle color information is one of the important with some ROI configuration as features and neural network elements in ITS (Intelligent Traffic System). In this paper, we as classifier. Baek et al. [8] also use 2D histogram but without present a vehicle color recognition method using convolutional ROI configuration and SVM as classifier. Another approach neural network (CNN). Naturally, CNN is designed to learn is described by Son et al. [9] which using convolution kernel classification method based on shape information, but we proved to extract similarity between positive and negative images and that CNN can also learn classification based on color distribution. then feed up those similarity score to SVM classifier. In our method, we convert the input image to two different color spaces, HSV and CIE Lab, and run it to some CNN Color spaces are very important to color recognition ap- architecture. The training process follow procedure introduce by plications, like vehicle color recognition. The selection of Krizhevsky, that learning rate is decreasing by factor of 10 after color space will impact the recognition performance. The most some iterations.
