Image manipulation

Methods Results The flow diagram (Fig. 2) outlines the methods used for the review and separation of the rocks present in the area. Image enhancement is done to increase the variance in the dataset. Contrast manipulation, spatial feature manipulation, and multi-image manipulation are used as digital enhancement techniques (Lillesand et al. 2007). In this study multi-image manipulation is used, which includes Band Ratio and Principal Component Analysis. 

I would like to posit that a Virtual Craft has already been established. It is concept based. It relies largely on Photoshop image manipulation and 3D modeling. The practice and techniques of Virtual Craft enable us to move our concepts into a virtual realm where they can be visualised, studied, manipulated and just as easily discarded. The craftsperson, with the help of computer technology, can explore concepts, regions and realities that would be difficult to tread in our physi-...
