O Arquivo Histórico Municipal de Vila Real de Santo António na base da aquisição de conhecimentos e experiência profissional na área de arquivo

Neste relatório descreve-se a atividade profissional de um Assistente Técnico de Arquivo desenvolvida ao longo de seis anos no Arquivo Histórico Municipal de Vila Real de Santo António, no âmbito do plano curricular do Mestrado em Ciências Documentais - Área Arquivo, ministrado pela Faculdade de Ciências Humanas e Sociais da Universidade do Algarve. Tentarei trazer à memória de todos quantos lerem este relatório o enquadramento histórico e a evolução administrativa local da Câmara Municipal de Vila Real de Santo António que tutela o Arquivo Histórico Municipal. Darei a conhecer o surgimento e a razão de ser do Arquivo Histórico Municipal, assim como, as suas funções e atribuições. Caracterizarei o arquivo corrente, intermédio e histórico existente na Câmara Municipal de Vila Real de Santo António. Exemplificarei como são integrados os documentos neste Arquivo, qual o procedimento quando um documento é requisitado à instituição, e qual a sua tramitação até a documentação ser encaminhada para a eliminação ou para a conservação definitiva, fazendo uma reflexão crítica de alguns dos procedimentos adotados e tendo em conta os princípios arquivísticos aceites universalmente. Salientarei qual, o impacto dos agentes biológicos na conservação de um acervo documental, e a importância de manter periodicamente um controle e monitorização de pragas. Destacarei, finalmente, a importância da preservação digital na instituição arquivística e da relevância da função cultural de um arquivo municipal.

A computer vision based web application for tracking soccer players

Soccer is a sport where everyone that is involved with it make all the efforts aiming for excellence. Not only the players need to show their skills on the pitch but also the coach, and the remaining staff, need to have their own tools so that they can perform at higher levels. Footdata is a project to build a new web application product for soccer (football), which integrates two fundamental components of this sport's world: the social and the professional. While the former is an enhanced social platform for soccer professionals and fans, the later can be considered as a Soccer Resource Planning, featuring a system for acquisition and processing information to meet all the soccer management needs. In this paper we focus only in a specific module of the professional component. We will describe the section of the web application that allows to analyse movements and tactics of the players using images directly taken from the pitch or from videos, we will show that it is possible to draw players and ball movements in a web application and detect if those movements occur during a game. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
