Tourism image is a relevant issue that affects the way in which tourists make decisions regarding their choice of destination. However, there is a lack of studies focusing on emitted images and particularly on the fragmentation of emitted images in tourism destinations. This article proposes a conceptual framework to analyze emitted tourism destination image fragmentation patterns and explores these patterns in two urban destinations, Perpignan and Girona, with the purpose of finding out why they emerge, which are their relevant dimensions, and how these are interrelated. By analyzing the promotional brochures of these destinations the authors first identify the attributes of their induced images and, then, by means of a cluster analysis, determine the patterns of fragmentation of their emitted image. The results show that both destinations have a slightly different image fragmentation pattern in terms of image content, and a clearly different structural pattern of image fragmentation, as Perpignan has a more centralized pattern than Girona. This difference is reflected in the higher relevance of the local destination marketing organization in the case of Perpignan.

Virtual machine (VM) images (VMIs) often share common parts of significant size as they are stored individually. Using existing de-duplication techniques for such images are non-trivial, impose serious technical challenges, and requires direct access to clouds' proprietary image storages, which is not always feasible. We propose an alternative approach to split images into shared parts, called fragments, which are stored only once. Our solution requires a reasonably small set of base images available in the cloud, and additionally only the increments will be stored without the contents of base images, providing significant storage space savings. Composite images consisting of a base image and one or more fragments are assembled on-demand at VM deployment. Our technique can be used in conjunction with practically any popular cloud solution, and the storage of fragments is independent of the proprietary image storage of the cloud provider.

Restoring artworks seriously damaged or completely destroyed is a challenging task. In particular, the reconstruction of frescoes has to deal with problems such as very small fragments, irregular shapes and missing pieces. Several attempts have been done to develop new techniques for helping restorers in the matching process, starting from traditional image processing methods to the more recent deep learning approaches. However, as often happens in the Cultural Heritage field, the availability of labeled data to test new strategies is limited, and publicly available datasets contain only few samples. For this reason, in this paper we introduce DAFNE, a large dataset that includes hundreds of thousands of images of fresco fragments artificially generated to guarantee a high variability in terms of shapes and dimensions. Fragments have been obtained starting from 62 images of famous frescoes of various artists and historical periods, in order to consider different artistic styles, subjects and colors.

Being recognized by academic literature that tourism destinations has a natural tendency to have more than one single image, this paper aims to analyse image fragmentation of an urban destination. Taking the city of Perpignan (France) as a case study, this phenomenon is analysed through a content analysis of 35 brochures and a cluster analysis, in order to find evidences and patterns of image fragmentation. Results show that tourism image is fragmented in four different profiles, although this situation is well managed by the Local Tourism Board, minimizing the possible effects of this situation.

Consider a mosaic image, the edges of the tesserae being unrelated to pictorial content. Depending upon grout color, the picture is seen as uninterrupted "behind bars" or divided into tiles by "cracks" as in an ancient oil painting. The phenomenology is explored.

A cropping resistant blind digital watermarking scheme based on frame coding is designed. Two technologies, image confusion and frame coding, are used to deal with watermark information, which can enhance information security and bind the synchronous information with a watermark. Meanwhile, in DCT domain, an embedding strategy based on image fragmentation and the extracting strategy based on image location are offered. The experimental results show that this scheme possesses a high robustness under cropping attack. And it can effectively resist normal image disposal methods.
