  • Annotating Historical Archives of Images
    Annotating Historical Archives of Images Xiaoyue Wang Lexiang Ye Eamonn Keogh Christian Shelton Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of California Riverside Riverside, California {xwang,lexiangy,eamonn,cshelton}@cs.ucr.edu ABSTRACT Recent initiatives like the Million Book Project and Google Print Library Project have already archived several million books in digital format, and within a few years a significant fraction of world’sbooks will be online. While the majority of the data will naturally be text, there will also be tens of millions of pages of images. Many of these images will defy automation annotation for the foreseeable future, but a considerable fraction of the images may be amiable to automatic annotation by algorithms that can link the historical image with a modern contemporary, with its attendant metatags. In order to perform this linking we must have a suitable distance measure which appropriately combines the relevant features of shape, color, texture and text. However the best combination of these features will vary from application to application and even from one manuscript to another. In this work we propose a simple technique to learn the distance measure by Figure 1: A page from a scientific text published in 1849 perturbing the training set in a principled way. We show the [6]. The heavily stylized scrip is difficult to read even at utility of our ideas on archives of manuscripts containing images full resolution, however we have independently confirmed from natural history and cultural artifacts. that the three insects are (left to right) Zygaena filipendulae, Acherontia atropos and Syntomis phegea Categories and Subject Descriptors In this image the text annotations will surely defy even the state- H.3.3 [Information Search and Retrieval]: Retrieval models of-the-art handwriting recognizers [1], and humans, particularly those without experience in reading cursive script are also unlikely to be able to parse these words.

  • THE EMPEROR MOTHS of EASTERN AFRICA the Purpose Of
    THE EMPEROR MOTHS OF EASTERN AFRICA By E. C. G. Pinhey. (The National Museum, Bulawayo.) The purpose of this article on Emperor Moths is to introduce people, in East and Central Africa, to this spectacular family and to give them some means of identifying the species. It is unfortunate that we cannot afford colour plates. Mr. Bally has aided in the production of half-tone photo• graphs, which should help considerably in the recognition of species, if not with the same facility as with colour plates. There is, of course, available, at a price, volume XIV of Seitz' Macrole• pidoptera, which includes coloured illustrations of most of the African Emperors. In tropical countries Emperor Moths and Hawk Moths are the most popular families of the moths among amateurs, the former largely for their size and colourfulness, the latter more perhaps for their streamlined elegance and rapidity of flight. Furthermore, compared to some other families, both these groups are reasonably small in number of species and, despite their bulk, they can be incorporated in a moderately limited space if not too many examples of each species are retained. Admittedly some of the larger Emperors take up a disproportionate amount of room and it is advisable to make them overlap in the collection. If we consider, however, that the amateur is concentrating on this family to the exclusion of other moth groups, the position is not too alarming. There are somewhat over a hundred species of Emperors in East Africa. What are Emperor Moths? Some people call them Silk moths, because the caterpillars of some species spin silk cocoons.

    INTERNATIONAL ASSOCI ATION OF BUTTERFLY EXHIBITORS AND SUPPL IERS Volume 16 Number 3 MAI– JUNE 2017 Visit us on the web at www.iabes.org Special edition: moths Interview with Bart Coppens, guest speaker at ICBES 2017 Who are you? I’m Bart Coppens (24) from the Netherlands – a fervent breeder of moths and aspiring entomologist. In my home I breed over 50 species of moths (mainly Saturniidae) on yearly basis. My goal is to expand what started out as a hobby into something more scientific. It turns out the life cycle and biology of many Saturni- idae is poorly known or even unrecorded. By importing eggs and cocoons of rare and obscure species and breeding them in cap- tivity I am able to record undescribed larvae, host plants and the life history of several moth species – information that I publish on a scientific level. My ambition is also to gradually get into more difficult subjects such as the taxonomy, morphology and evolution and perhaps even the organic chemistry (in terms of defensive chemicals) of Saturniidae – but for now these subjects are still beyond my le- Bart with Graellsia isabella vel of comprehension, as relatively young person that has not yet completed a formal education. I’d also like to say I have a general passion for all kinds of Lepidoptera, from butterflies to the tiniest species of moths, I truly like all of them. The reason I mention Saturniidae so much is because I have invested most of my time and expertise into this particular family of Lepidoptera, simply because this order of insects is too big to study on a general scale, so I decided to specialise myself a little in the kinds of moths I find the most impressi- ve and fascinating myself – and was already the most familiar with due to my breeding hobby.

  • Diversity and Status of Butterflies Across Vegetation Types of Mt
    Vol. 1 No. 1 December 2010 Asian Journal of Biodiversity CHED Accredited Research Journal, Category A Art. #99, pp. 1-24 Print ISSN 2094-1519 • Electronic ISSN 2244-0461 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.7828/ajob.v1i1.99 Diversity and Status of Butterflies across Vegetation Types of Mt. Hamiguitan, Davao Oriental, Philippines ALMA B. MOHAGAN [email protected] Department of Biology, Central Mindanao University, Musuan, Bukidnon, Philippines COLIN G. TREADAWAY Entomologist II, Senckenberg Museum, Germany Date Submitted: Oct. 7, 2009 Final Revision Complied: Dec. 1, 2009 Abstract - An inventory was conducted to determine the diversity and status of butterflies of Mt. Hamiguitan Wildlife Sanctuary, Davao Oriental, using quadrat method in five vegetation types, namely; agroecosystem (10-400 masl), dipterocarp (500-900 masl), montane (900-1400 masl), mossy (1400-1500 masl) and pygmy (1500-1675 masl). Two 20m x 20m plots were established per vegetation type. These inventory techniques revealed 142 species of butterflies plus one new subspecies described and illustrated. Diversity assessment using Shannon-Weiner index showed high level (4.1) in the Montane forest as compared to other vegetation types. Bray- Curtis similarity index showed low species similarity in pygmy, mossy and agro-montane forests (< 40 %). Furthermore, this study revealed 7 possible new species, 44 endemics: 2 eastern Mindanao endemic (very rare), 4 Mt. Hamiguitan endemic (very rare), 16 Mindanao endemic and 22 Philippine endemic. Seven species are new records in Mindanao. Mt. Hamiguitan 1 Asian Journal of Biodiversity Wildlife Sanctuary is the home of diverse and endemic butterfly species. Keywords - butterflies, species richness, pygmy vegetation types, Mt.

These details are very interesting because they may clarify relationships to Testout (946: 45), prior to the description of A. cha­pa­e, some other members of the genus. Ova and all larval instars mentioned in his paper Mell’s material under the name are figured in colour as well as males from the type locality “Actia­s fa­nsipa­nensis in litteris”. He had a photo of the ♀ in northern Vietnam and from Hunan Province (also Nan- ling Shan), China, and their genitalia structures plus live in his hands, and [correctly] mentioned that this should males and females, including the mother of the reared mate- be a typical A.
