The resulting color map is not “perceptually linear” in the quantitative sense, but it is more smooth than Jet, without introducing false detail. This approach provides control while keeping the curve C2 continuous. Screenshot of the interface used to create and tune Turbo. ![]() To create the Turbo color map, we created a simple interface that allowed us to interactively adjust the sRGB curves using a 7-knot cubic spline, while comparing the result on a selection of sample images as well as other well known color maps. You can find the color map data and usage instructions for Python here and C/C++ here, as well as a polynomial approximation here. Turbo was hand-crafted and fine-tuned to be effective for a variety of visualization tasks. Today we are happy to introduce Turbo, a new colormap that has the desirable properties of Jet while also addressing some of its shortcomings, such as false detail, banding and color blindness ambiguity. ![]() While these linear lightness maps solve many important issues with Jet, their constraints may make them suboptimal for day to day tasks where the requirements are not as stringent. Today there are many modern alternatives that are uniform and color blind accessible, such as Viridis or Inferno from matplotlib. The above image with simulated Protanopia These effects are even more pronounced for users that are color blind, to the point of making the map ambiguous: Because the rate at which the color changes ‘perceptually’ is not constant, Jet is not perceptually uniform. This causes sharp transitions when the map is applied to images, which are misleading when the underlying data is actually smoothly varying. However, if you look at the color map gradient, one can see distinct “bands” of color, most notably in the cyan and yellow regions. One of the most commonly used color mapping algorithms in computer vision applications is Jet, which is high contrast, making it useful for accentuating even weakly distinguished image features. ![]() Right: The commonly used Jet rainbow map being used to create a false color image. Left: Disparity image displayed as greyscale. Still, in many applications, “rainbow maps” are preferred since they show more detail (at the expense of accuracy) and allow for quicker visual assessment. For example, interpretation of “rainbow maps” have been linked to lower accuracy in mission critical applications, such as medical imaging. However, the choice of color map can have a significant impact on a given task. Colorizing images helps the human visual system pick out detail, estimate quantitative values, and notice patterns in data in a more intuitive fashion. Posted by Anton Mikhailov, Senior Software Engineer, Daydreamįalse color maps show up in many applications in computer vision and machine learning, from visualizing depth images to more abstract uses, such as image differencing.

Red Velvet won Rookie of The Year at the Golden Disk Awards and Seoul Music Awards. The song peaked at number 33 on the Gaon Digital Chart and at number six on the Billboard World Digital Songs chart. ![]() The group began promoting the release on October 9, making their first appearance on M Countdown. The music video for the song was directed by Kwon Soon-wook and Shim Jae-won, choreographed by Kyle Hanagami, and featured original choreography seen in a pre-debut SM Rookies teaser of Irene and Seulgi. The song, which includes a rap verse from then-SR14B member Taeyong, was a remake of the 2000 single of the same name by S.E.S., SM Entertainment's first girl group. The group released their second digital single " Be Natural" on October 13, 2014. Red Velvet became the first K-pop girl group to chart a debut single on the Billboard World Digital Songs chart, where it peaked at number four. "Happiness" was the second-most viewed K-pop music video worldwide in August 2014. The original music video for "Happiness" gained more than two million views on YouTube in its first 24 hours of release before being removed due to controversy over problematic background images and replaced with an edited version. It is an urban Europop song with "strong synth sound" and " African tribal beat", penned by Yoo Young-jin and composed by Will Simms, Chad Hugo ( The Neptunes), Chris Holsten, and Anne Judith Wik ( Dsign Music). Their first single, " Happiness", was released digitally on August 4. ![]() Red Velvet made their official performance debut on August 1, 2014, on the program Music Bank. With the addition of member Joy, the quartet went on to debut in 2014 as SM Entertainment's first girl group in five years and first idol group since 2012. Rumors of a group debut gained traction in July, which were subsequently confirmed by SM Entertainment. In March 2014, Wendy, then credited as a member of SR14G, was introduced through the release of "Because I Love You", her first solo soundtrack for the Mnet drama Mimi. Irene and Seulgi made cameo appearances in the music videos for " 1-4-3 (I Love You)" and " Fantastic", respectively, by then-labelmate Henry Seulgi also featured in Henry's "Butterfly". Preparations for Red Velvet's debut began in late 2013, with the introduction of Irene and Seulgi in December 2013 and Wendy in March 2014 through SM Entertainment's trainee group SM Rookies. In 2012, Wendy and Joy were cast through the SM Global Auditions in Canada and Seoul, respectively. Irene was cast in 2009, and Yeri in 2011. Red Velvet began forming in 2007, when Seulgi was cast as a trainee by SM Entertainment via audition.

Red Velvet have received numerous accolades, most notably the Golden Disc New Artist Award, the Mnet Asian Music Award for Best Female Group, the Korean Music Award for Best Pop Song, and the Asia Artist Award for Song of the Year. ![]() The group also ventured into the Japanese music scene with the extended plays #Cookie Jar (2018) and Sappy (2019). Their singles " Red Flavor" and " Power Up" were number one hits on the Gaon Digital Chart, whilst " Dumb Dumb", " Russian Roulette", " Rookie", " Peek-a-Boo", " Bad Boy", " Psycho" and " Feel My Rhythm" all reached the top three. Red Velvet's Korean-language discography includes two studio albums, one reissue album, one compilation album, and ten extended plays-twelve of which have topped the South Korean Gaon Album Chart. Their genre versatility and catchy hooks have garnered critical praise. ![]() Sonically, the music of Red Velvet reflects their group name: their predominantly- pop "red" side experiments occasionally with electronic and funk, while their "velvet" side focuses on '90s-influenced R&B with elements of ballad and hip hop. A fifth member, Yeri, joined in March 2015, following the release of their first extended play, Ice Cream Cake. They originally debuted on August 1, 2014, with the single " Happiness" with the four-member line-up of Irene, Seulgi, Wendy and Joy.

Roman ‘pseudo-Attic’ helmet, dating from circa 2nd century AD. Illyrian Helmet (origins – circa 7th century BC) On the other hand, some of the stylized variations were continued with further modifications, like the Italo-Corinthian helmet (pictured above) often displayed by the elites of the Roman Republic (that was worn more like a cap rather than a helmet). We also know that many hoplites preferred to keep the Corinthian helmets tipped back on their heads during non-combat situations, thereby suggesting the cramped nature of the designs.Ĭonsequently, the restrictive helmets began to fall out of favor for the practical armies of late Classical Greece (circa 4th century BC). ![]() One of the reasons might have related to how the closed-nature of the design impeded the peripheral vision of the wearer, along with possible obstruction to their hearing capacity. However, when it came to practicality, especially during intense battle scenarios, the Corinthian helmets may have proved to be somewhat obtrusive to many of its wearers. Italo-Corinthian Helmet, worn as a cap rather than a full helm. Corinthian Helmet (origins – circa 8th century BC) In any case, the Kegelhelm was soon discontinued in favor of the renowned Corinthian Helmet, because of its inherent weakness in design relating to the joins by which the aforementioned pieces were attached to the main conical cap. However, beyond Mesopotamian influence, scholars have also conjectured that the Kegelhelm was possibly a Greek adoption of similar helmet types used by the earlier Minoans. Interestingly enough, archaeologists noted how the crest of one of these Iron Age specimens resembled the helmets used in contemporary Assyria (corresponding to the Neo Assyrian Empire). The form factor of the Kegelhelm is directly known from three 8th century tombs in Argos that contained remnants of the helmets. Exhibiting its distinct shape ( kegel meaning ‘cone’ in German), the helmet was basically constructed from five pieces, including a conical cap (pictured above), cheek pieces, and even a forehead guard. Kegelhelm (origins – possibly circa 10th century BC)Īlthough not much is known about the usage pattern of the Kegehelm, historians and archaeologists have hypothesized that this conical contraption was probably one of the oldest Iron Age helmets used in mainland Greece. In any case, from the historical perspective, like many things Mycenaean, such helmet types were possibly inspired by the advanced Bronze Age Minoans. He also goes on to explain how the ‘Greeks’ (or Mycenaeans) acquired these tusks due to their penchant for hunting. Interestingly enough, Homer makes a full description of such boar tusk helmet types and their prevalence in the Trojan War. Some of the specimens possibly even had cheek guards (that extended downwards), thus accounting for a formidable head defense. Special care was taken to alternate the curves of these shaped tusks in the concurrent rows, while the crown was embellished with a plume or a knob. Giving a literal meaning to their name, these helmets were actually reinforced with the sturdy tusks of boars – which were primarily shaped in smaller pieces, bored with holes, and then expertly stitched on a conical leather framework. This is where an Aegean invention came to the fore, in the form of the special boar tusk helmet. But while the shield could cover most parts of the body, the head was still exposed to blows in a melee situation. Clean and simple.The early Mycenaean (Bronze Age Greek) spearmen probably employed massed ‘shoulder to shoulder’ formations, further complemented by their sturdy shields and weapons, as opposed to hefty armor systems (that were mostly eschewed in favor of light clothing). ![]() Push notifications keep you on track, multiple viewing options give you different perspectives, and new updates allow you to export your monthly diary as a PDF, so sharing your progress is a breeze.
