This article offers the first substantial survey of the Middle Dutch satire Dit es de Frenesie since the work of C.P. Serrure in the mid nineteenth century. It contests much of the conventional wisdom surrounding De Frenesie, challenging the poem's usual classification as an early boerde or fabliau. Instead it is argued that the text is an experimental work, which blends together elements of several satiric traditions without committing itself to any one. The implications of this maneuver and others within the text are considered, revealing the poem's clear sympathy with the newly educated and articulate laity. De Frenesie itself is appended in both the original Middle Dutch and an English verse translation.
This article deals with automatic object recognition. The goal is that in a certain grey-level image, possibly containing many objects, a certain object can be recognized and localized, based upon its shape. The assumption is that this shape has no special characteristics on which a dedicated recognition algorithm can be based (e.g. if we know that the object is circular, we could use a Hough transform or if we know that it is the only object with grey level 90, we can simply use thresholding). Our starting point is an object with a random shape. The image in which the object is searched is called the Search Image. A well known technique for this is Template Matching, which is described first.
In de zomer en het najaar van 2022 organiseert het Van Eesteren Museum de manifestatie SuperWest 2000-2021 over de vernieuwing van de Westelijke Tuinsteden. Met een overzichtstentoonstelling, een publicatie, een reeks buurtbiografieën, wandelingen en debatavonden wordt aandacht gevraagd voor de onwaarschijnlijke operatie die in de afgelopen twee decennia in de Tuinsteden plaats vond. Deze tweede buurtbiografie in de reeks documenteert de vernieuwing van de Staalmanpleinbuurt. De bouwprojecten en de inrichting van de openbare ruimte zijn nagenoeg afgerond. Dat maakt het mogelijk om met elkaar het gesprek te voeren over de kwaliteit van de nieuwe buurt.
