“…Escobar and Parikesit perform an analysis of a theater video recording of a puppet show [8] and their approach uses difference frames of each two consecutive frames, the intensity of movement of the puppets is measured and assigned to narrative scene segments. Leake et al are concerned with automated video editing for dialogues [18].…”

Modeling of an Automatic Vision Mixer With Human Characteristics for Multi-Camera Theater Recordings

Laymen are not trained in camera control and how to use a vision mixing desk to switch between different cameras in a video production. Specific training and expert knowledge are required. In the non-professional environment, multi-camera recordings of theater performances or other stage performances are therefore difficult to realize. This can be remedied by a production process with highresolution cameras from which image sections of long shots or medium long shots are cropped manually or automatically in post-production. One approach to automate the generation of suitable image cuts could be to focus on speaker changes so that the person who is speaking is shown in the generated cut. However, these image cuts can appear static and robotic if they are set too precisely. Therefore, the characteristics and habits of professional vision mixers (persons who operate the vision mixing desk) during the editing process are investigated in more detail in order to incorporate them into an automation process. The characteristic features of five different vision mixers are examined, which were used under almost identical recording conditions for theatrical cuts in TV productions. The cuts are examined with regard to their temporal position in relation to pauses in speech, which take place during speaker changes on stage. It is shown that different professional vision mixers set the cuts individually differently before, in or after the pauses in speech. From the analysis of the image cuts, an approach for a model is developed in which the individual characteristics of a vision mixer can be set. With the help of this model, a more human appearance can be given to otherwise exact and robotic cuts, when automating image cuts. INDEX TERMS Automatic vision mixer, human charakteristics, multi-camera theatre recordingsPreliminary note:The term vision mixer is usually referred to both the device used to edit video and the person operating the device. The ambiguity is avoided in this paper by using the following terms:• Vision mixing desk = the device used to edit video.• Vision mixer (also abbreviated as VM) = the person who operates the vision mixing desk.

“…First of all, the mentioned predominance of textual analysis among the research subjects has now reduced. For example, audio and visual data, cinema, music, dance, the production and study of born-digital content and computer games, biometry, geography, cartography and geographic information systems have become part of DH (Zeng et al, 2022; Dibeltulo et al, 2020; Hong and Wu, 2022; Escobar Varela and Hernández-Barraza, 2020; Bailey-Ross et al, 2017; Salah et al, 2021; Wei et al, 2022). Even recently, however, some privilege is reserved for text: Frabetti (2012) notes that DH is generally considered to embrace all the activities that draw their methods from computer science, such as image processing, data visualization and network analysis, ‘to produce new ways of understanding and approaching humanities texts ’.…”

Digital humanities: Mission accomplished? An analysis of scholarly literature

The field of digital humanities (DH) has evolved throughout the parallel evolution of computers, software and networking techniques, as well as the different attitudes of interested scholars. Since the earliest historical phases of this research field, scholars have been debating whether it can be considered as a new academic discipline and whether it is revolutionary in nature. About 20 years ago, the early denotation of ‘humanities computing’ evolved to the present label of DH, and deep changes occurred in digital information technologies, as well as in their humanities applications. Meanwhile, dedicated academic curricula were launched, thus adding an argument in favor of the debated disciplinarity of DH. This paper gives an account of the relevant scholarly debate, distinguishing between the early period and the most recent years; it then tries to frame this process in a model of scientific revolution.
