The Diary Of The Rose
"The Diary of the Rose" is a 1976 dystopian science fiction novelette by Ursula K. Le Guin, first published in the ''Future Power'' collection. The tale is set in a totalitarian society which uses brainwashing by "electroshocks" to eradicate any kind of political dissent. Plot The story is the diary of psychodiagnost ("psychoscopist") Dr. Rosa Sobel hired by state security to probe the mind of Flores Sorde for signs of "political psyschosis", using a brain-mapping device called a psychoscope. Conversations with Sorde eventually lead to the political awakening of Dr. Sobel. Commentary The concept of "political psychosis" can be compared with Orwellian "thoughtcrimes". The whole setup of the story is reminiscent of the punitive psychiatry in the Soviet Union. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sobel Operator
The Sobel operator, sometimes called the Sobel–Feldman operator or Sobel filter, is used in image processing and computer vision, particularly within edge detection algorithms where it creates an image emphasising edges. It is named after Irwin Sobel and Gary Feldman, colleagues at the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL). Sobel and Feldman presented the idea of an "Isotropic 3 × 3 Image Gradient Operator" at a talk at SAIL in 1968. Technically, it is a discrete differentiation operator, computing an approximation of the gradient of the image intensity function. At each point in the image, the result of the Sobel–Feldman operator is either the corresponding gradient vector or the norm of this vector. The Sobel–Feldman operator is based on convolving the image with a small, separable, and integer-valued filter in the horizontal and vertical directions and is therefore relatively inexpensive in terms of computations. On the other hand, the gradi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
