    Museum as a visual lab? Culture-technology networks in CBIR projects
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2017) Olszewska, Anna; Gancarczyk, Joanna
    Should any museum or scientific library consider itself as an information technology laboratory? This article explores the lives of several pioneering museum and library projects focused on digital image retrieval techniques (CBIR). The research aims to contribute critical evaluation of museum and information technology domain relations in the field. The outcomes may be applied in the planning of future co-operative endeavours. The analysis begins with a discussion of projects in which a museum or library played the role of data provider for image analysis development and testing (i.e. SWIC, Collage, SHREW systems). This is followed by a study of schemes focused on technology and implementing a standard image search methodology used for access to museum collections (i.e. QBIC, Artiste). The final part of the paper deals with the projects animated by museums or libraries themselves (BSB, Oxford Ballads Online, PrintArt) and the example of a consort that focuses on the specifi c type of visual resources (the Bernstein project).

    Narzędzia cyfrowe do badania obrazów
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2021) Radomski, Andrzej
    The main subject of the article are digital tools, which can be used to examine photographs, films and multimedia. The author claims that the methods used so far are not suitable for studying digital culture (primarily visual, and especially for studying large data collections - called big data. This is due to the fact that they were developed to study the so-called textual world. The article presents various programs and machine learning, with the help of which it is possible to study: a) the features of the images themselves, as well as what is in the individual images. The author, on the example of digital analysis of two films, shows the cognitive capabilities of modern information technologies - including artificial intelligence. This type of new research of images is classified as digital humanities.
