Description
Distant Viewing: Computational Exploration of Digital Images presents a new theory and methodology for the computational analysis of digital images. This approach, called "distant viewing," offers a lively critique of computer vision that can be applied to various fields. The authors, Taylor Arnold and Lauren Tilton, explore the limitations of computer vision by applying distant viewing to different forms of visual media, including sitcoms, movie posters, and photography. Their work combines insights from visual culture studies, computer vision, film and media studies, and visual semiotics. This book provides a playful and accessible guide for an international audience working in digital humanities, data science, media studies, and visual culture studies.
