O retrato da escola é desvendado, prioritariamente, por meio da leitura e interpretação de fotografias – encontradas no próprio arquivo da instituição ou coletadas de álbuns de retratos de pessoas que tiveram alguma relação com a escola – pois nelas está depositado uma imensa riqueza de perceptos e afetos. Cada detalhe presente na imagem fotográfica é vestígio que representa um tempo, um espaço, uma situação e a relação entre pessoas em um determinado contexto da história, funcionando como um dispositivo de elucidação das relações entre a escola e o tempo. Essa investigação decorre do diagnóstico de vestígios histórico-filosóficos, culturais e socioeconômicos visíveis ou invisíveis na imagem fotográfica, como também, de sensações, emoções e sentimentos deflagrados no pesquisador no momento da observação, interpretados conforme a sua cultura e subjetividade. Para contextualizar com maior rigor as situações e os dados apresentados pelas imagens fotográficas, a pesquisa, ocasionalmente, utiliza-se de depoimentos semi-estruturados – principalmente de pessoas que compõem a conjuntura apresentada pela fotografia. Explora-se o potencial das fotos como materialidade das imagens, suficiente para desvendar, compreender e descrever as semelhanças e contrastes entre o plano da intencionalidade e plano da realização / This work proposes the study of photographic images that depict scenes and everyday situations in a public educational institution School of Limeira, São Paulo State, such as memory and historical source for education and as a means of understanding the reality of each event from their meanings, identifying aspects of school culture and analyzing any similarities and transformations in the educational process, in the period since the creation of educational institution (1934) to the present day (2010). The portrait of the school is unveiled, primarily through the reading and interpretation of photos – found in the file itself or institution albums collected portraits of people who have had some relationship with the school – because them are deposited an immense wealth of perceptos and affections. Every detail present in the photographic image is vestige that represents a time, a space, a situation and the relationship between people in a given context of history, functioning as an elucidation of the relationships between the school and the time. This research follows the historical traces diagnostic-philosophical, cultural and socioeconomic visible or invisible on the photographic image, as also of sensations, emotions and feelings that were triggered in the browser at the time of observation, interpreted according to their culture and subjectivity. To contextualize the situations with greater rigour and the data submitted by photographic images, research, occasionally using semi-structured – mainly testimonials of people who make up the environment presented by photography. Explores the potential of the photos as materiality of images, enough to uncover, understand and describe the similarities and contrasts between the plane of intentionality and the plan of implementation

One method of resolving the ambiguity inherent in interpreting images is to add different sources of information. The multiple information source paradigm emphasizes the ability to utilize knowledge gained from one source that may not be present in another. However, utilizing disparate information may create situations in which data from different sources are inconsistent. A schemata-based system has been developed that can take advantage of multiple sources of information. Schemata are combined into a semantic network via the relations decomposition, specialization, instance of, and neighbour. Control depends on the structure of the evolving network and a cycle of perception. Schemata cooperate by message passing so that attention can be directed where it will be most advantageous. This system has been implemented to interpret aerial photographs of small urban scenes. Geographic features are identified using up to three information sources: the intensity image, a sketch map, and information provided by the user. The product is a robust system where the accuracy of the results reflects the quality and amount of data provided. Images of several geographic locales are analyzed, and positive-results are reported. / Science, Faculty of / Computer Science, Department of / Graduate
