  • 4. Reconfigurations of Screen Borders: the New Or Not-So-New Aspect Ratios
    4. Reconfigurations of Screen Borders: The New or Not-So-New Aspect Ratios Miriam Ross Abstract The ubiquity of mobile phone cameras has resulted in many videos foregoing the traditional horizontal (landscape) frame in favour of a vertical (portrait) mode. While vertical framing is often derided as amateur practice, these new framing techniques are part of a wider contemporary screen culture in which filmmakers and artists are using unconventional aspect ratios and/or expanding and contracting aspect ratios over the course of their audio-visual work. This chapter briefly outlines historical contexts in which the border of the screen has been more flexible and open to changing configurations than is widely acknowledged. It then uses recent case studies to consider how our understanding of on-screen and off-screen space is determined by these framing configurations. Keywords: Aspect ratios, embodiment, framing, cinema In recent years, the increasing ubiquity of mobile phone videos has drawn attention to a radical challenge to traditional screen culture. It is not just that a wide variety of amateur users now have a filmmaking device at their fingertips—rather, that many of them are foregoing the more than a century- long norm for shooting with a horizontal frame. Appearing on social media sites such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter as well as in commercial news broadcasts, their footage stands tall in a vertical format. When replayed on horizontal screens, the startling strangeness of wide black bands on either side of the content focuses attention on the border of the frame as well as seem- ingly absent screen space.

  • 3. Visual Attention
    Brunel UNIVERSITY WEST LONDON INTELLIGENT IMAGE CROPPING AND SCALING A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Joerg Deigmoeller School of Engineering and Design th 24 January 2011 1 Abstract Nowadays, there exist a huge number of end devices with different screen properties for watching television content, which is either broadcasted or transmitted over the internet. To allow best viewing conditions on each of these devices, different image formats have to be provided by the broadcaster. Producing content for every single format is, however, not applicable by the broadcaster as it is much too laborious and costly. The most obvious solution for providing multiple image formats is to produce one high- resolution format and prepare formats of lower resolution from this. One possibility to do this is to simply scale video images to the resolution of the target image format. Two significant drawbacks are the loss of image details through downscaling and possibly unused image areas due to letter- or pillarboxes. A preferable solution is to find the contextual most important region in the high-resolution format at first and crop this area with an aspect ratio of the target image format afterwards. On the other hand, defining the contextual most important region manually is very time consuming. Trying to apply that to live productions would be nearly impossible. Therefore, some approaches exist that automatically define cropping areas. To do so, they extract visual features, like moving areas in a video, and define regions of interest (ROIs) based on those. ROIs are finally used to define an enclosing cropping area.

All text is normative except for that in the Introduction, any section explicitly labelled as ‘Informative’ or individual paragraphs which start with ‘Note:’ Normative text describes indispensable or mandatory elements. It contains the conformance keywords ‘shall’, ‘should’ or ‘may’, defined as follows: ‘Shall’ and ‘shall not’: Indicate requirements to be followed strictly and from which no deviation is permitted in order to conform to the document. ‘Should’ and ‘should not’: Indicate that, among several possibilities, one is recommended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or excluding others. OR indicate that a certain course of action is preferred but not necessarily required. OR indicate that (in the negative form) a certain possibility or course of action is deprecated but not prohibited. ‘May’ and ‘need not’: Indicate a course of action permissible within the limits of the document. Default identifies mandatory (in phrases containing “shall”) or recommended (in phrases containing “should”) values that can, optionally, be overwritten by user action or supplemented with other options in advanced applications. Mandatory defaults must be supported. The support of recommended defaults is preferred, but not necessarily required. Informative text is potentially helpful to the user, but it is not indispensable and it does not affect the normative text.

Influence of aspect ratio a on the perception of trends and cluster separability for the Sunspot dataset [21] (a, b, c) and the Contraceptive Method Choice (CMC) dataset [10] (d, e). (a) Line chart with the default aspect ratio, and (b) the aspect ratio selected by an existing method (RV) [40], where both methods obscure the trends over the cycles. (c) The aspect ratio selected by our method (imgRV), where detailed cycle oscillations are revealed. (d) Scatter plot of three data clusters with the default aspect ratio, where the visual separation between the two clusters on the left is unclear. (e) The aspect ratio selected by our method shows clearer cluster structures. Abstract—Selecting a good aspect ratio is crucial for effective 2D diagrams. There are several aspect ratio selection methods for function plots and line charts, but only few can handle general, discrete diagrams such as 2D scatter plots. However, these methods either lack a perceptual foundation or heavily rely on intermediate isoline representations, which depend on choosing the right isovalues and are time-consuming to compute. This paper introduces a general image-based approach for selecting aspect ratios for a wide variety of 2D diagrams, ranging from scatter plots and density function plots to line charts. Our approach is derived from Federer’s co-area formula and a line integral representation that enable us to directly construct image-based versions of existing selection methods using density fields.
