  • A Vision-Based Navigation System for Tamsui Historical Buildings
    A Vision-Based Navigation System for Tamsui Historical Buildings Wen-Chuan Wu1, Zi-Wei Lin1, and Yi-Hui Chen2 1Dept. of Computer Science & Information Engineering, Aletheia University, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C.

E-mail: [email protected] Tel: +886-4-23323456 Abstract—This paper proposes a vision-based navigation system for Tamsui historical buildings. Most travelers in Tamsui take a picture of the historical buildings by using their mobile phone's camera. Our system is designed to automatically extract the color and edge features out of images, and then search similar images from an image database by comparing with these features. For the searched buildings, their contextual navigation and 3D model will be displayed or projected in a screen. This makes the navigation process easier and more interesting. Experimental results showed that the proposed scheme retrieves the target building images effectively and accurately. Fig. 1 The simple architecture of a typical CBIR system. I.

  • Analysis of the Spatiotemporal Transformation of Fort San Domingo in Tamsui, Taiwan, from the Perspective of Cultural Imagination
    This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Defence Sites: Heritage and Future (DSHF 2016) www.witconferences.com Analysis of the spatiotemporal transformation of Fort San Domingo in Tamsui, Taiwan, from the perspective of cultural imagination C.-Y. Chang Ministry of the Interior, Architecture and Building Institute, Taiwan, ROC Abstract The timeline of transformation of Fort San Domingo shows that between the 1630s and 1860s it was used as a military defense; from the 1860s–1970s as a foreign consulate and then from the 1980s–2010s as a historical site. We can see different and contradictory explanations of the cultural imagination of remembrance, exoticism and the symbolism of anti-imperialism from the historical context of this military building. Keywords: spatiotemporal transformation, Fort San Domingo, Tamsui, cultural imagination. 1 Introduction Fort San Domingo is rather young compared to forts built in Europe, yet it has a different historical meaning for this island located in Eastern Asia. Fort San Domingo (聖多明哥城) was one of the earliest Grade I heritage sites first appointed under the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act in 1982. It is the most well preserved fortress that can be dated back to the golden age of expeditions made by the Dutch East India Company during the colonial era. Moreover, Fort San Domingo is also the first heritage that has been transformed into a modern museum. Named the Tamsui Historical Museum of New Taipei City, the fort and its surrounding historical buildings were listed as a Potential World Heritage Site in Taiwan by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage.

    AIIA Victoria Taiwan Study Tour 3-17 November 2019 We are delighted to announce that AIIA Victoria is organising a Study Tour to Taiwan. It departs Australia Sunday 3 November 2019. It departs Taipei for Australia on Sunday 17 November 2019. We have received strong support from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Melbourne and our representatives at the Australian office in Taipei for this Study Tour. Objectives of the Study Tour The objects of the Study Tour are similar to those in recent years. We wish to establish a Memorandum of Understanding with a major Taiwanese think tank. TECO in Melbourne has suggested three possibilities and has already contacted them. All three will be very interesting to meet because they operate in different areas. They are TFD, Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation and National Policy Foundation. Nevertheless, obviously, we will only have a Memorandum of Understanding with one of them. Some of our time will be spent in Taipei for meetings. We will be briefed by the Australian Representatives there. We will meet with Educational Organisations, Cultural and Business Organisations, Government Departments and some not-for-profit organisations. Taiwan Taiwan is a small economy with a population of about 23 ½ million people. Taiwan is an important trading partner for Australia. Taiwan ranks in the top 10 for Australian exports and there are many interesting opportunities there. Our relationship generates business and investment for Australian and Taiwan companies as well as jobs for people of both economies. Australia and Taiwan also encourage people-to-people contacts in areas such as the arts, culture, education, science, tourism and sport.

This series, titled 29 Days in Formosa, is a body of work based on the manipulation of photographs of vintage patterns and sections of architectural structures that were once common images to Taiwanese, especially those of Chinese descent. Ho manipulates and reformats straightforward images into swirling designs of colour and texture that can only be described as having an association with contemporary digital images of fractals. In his cross-cultural artistic research, Ho documented architectural sites in Taipei, Taoyuan, and Tainan that had colonial and cultural significance and then he put them into a new context.

How a nation or a state tries to face to its history is often revealed on the protection of cultural heritage. Taiwan is as a country with complex history, especially the period after World War II. This article will work on some significant cases, regarded as ideological representation of identity. This article works on the cultural identity by observing and analyzing different cases of classified Historic Monuments. In different political periods, we see how the government tries to fabricate on the identity issue by working on Historic Monuments preservation. During the presidency of Chiang Kai-shek and his son Chiang Ching-kuo, the classification of Historic Monuments tried to focus on those make by former Chinese migrants. They tried hard to establish and reaffirm the ever existing “fact” of people in Taiwan. Whereas after the late 1980s and 1990s, after Chiang’s reign, local conscience has been awaken. Political ambience turned to a new era. This freedom of speech of post-Chiang’s reign encourages people to seek on their identity. The complex political situation of Taiwan makes this seeking cultural identity related to the seeking of independence of Taiwan.
