To improve the rendering effect of artistic images, a method enhancing features of artistic images is proposed based on histogram equalization and bilateral filtering in the article. Firstly, artistic images are divided into both high and low-frequency representations, and the multi-step enhancement processing level is delimited by multi-band decomposition. Secondly, the noise in the image is removed by bilateral filtering. Then, the grey-level histogram of the image is modified by using the histogram equalization. Finally, the features of the artistic image are enhanced by global tone mapping after histogram equalization processing is conducted. Then, the image is sharpened to improve the enhancement effect further. The experiments show that the features of the color and edge details turn out to be more vivid and clearer after the proposed method is implemented. The structural similarity (SSIM) measure of the image increases to 0.973, and the average gradient gets close to 0.8, which shows that the proposed method is effective.

Background: In South Africa, one in five adolescents experience pregnancy and face heightened rates of interpersonal violence and mental health challenges. Yet, few interventions are tailored to them.

Methods: 28 pregnant adolescents reporting past year intimate partner violence and/or non-partner rape were purposively recruited in antenatal clinics in Johannesburg to attend a 6-session arts-based intervention, delivered by 4 graduate art therapy students alongside clinical supervision.

Piloting creative engagement strategies to explore themes of parenthood with fathers.

Front Child Adolesc Psychiatry

January 2024

Translational Health Sciences, Bristol Medical School, University of Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom.

Introduction: The role of the arts in health is increasingly recognised, with participatory arts-based approaches facilitating public engagement. However, little is known about men's involvement in art-based participatory research. We aimed to investigate how men who are fathers may be engaged creatively to explore experiential aspects of fathering and parenthood.

Context: Tendon abnormalities on imaging are commonly observed in individuals with Achilles tendinopathy. Those abnormalities can also be present in asymptomatic individuals, which is an important risk factor for developing tendon symptoms. Ballet dancers are particularly vulnerable due to the high loads placed on their Achilles tendons.

To improve the expressiveness and realism of illustration images, the experiment innovatively combines the attention mechanism with the cycle consistency adversarial network and proposes an efficient style transfer method for illustration images. The model comprehensively utilizes the image restoration and style transfer capabilities of the attention mechanism and the cycle consistency adversarial network, and introduces an improved attention module, which can adaptively highlight the key visual elements in the illustration, thereby maintaining artistic integrity during the style transfer process. Through a series of quantitative and qualitative experiments, high-quality style transfer is achieved, especially while retaining the original features of the illustration.

Tattoos were a prevalent art form in pre-Hispanic South America exemplified by mummified human remains with preserved skin decoration that reflects the personal and cultural representations of their times. Tattoos are known to fade and bleed over time and this is compounded in mummies by the decay of the body, inhibiting the ability to examine the original art. Laser-stimulated fluorescence (LSF) produces images based on fluorescence emitted from within the target.
