Výpočetní fotografie ve světelném poli a aplikace na panoramatické snímky
Kučera, Jan ; Šroubek, Filip (advisor) ; Šik, Martin (referee)
The digital photography is still trying to catch-up with its analogous counterpart and recording light direction is one of the most recent area of interest. The first and still the only one light-field camera for consumers, the Lytro camera, has reached market in 2011. This work introduces the light-field theory and recording with special emphasis on illustrating the principles in 2D, gives an overview of current hardware and ongoing research in the area and analyses the Lytro camera itself, describing the closed file formats and protocols it uses so that further research can be conducted. An important contribution of the work is a .NET portable library for developers, supplemented by a file editor as well as an application for wireless communication with the camera based on the library. Finally, the theory is used to discuss implications for light-field registration and linear panoramas. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Spinoza's concept of democracy
Brzkovská, Eliška ; Kučera, Jan (advisor) ; Franěk, Jakub (referee)
This thesis deals with the concept of democracy in the works of the Dutch philosopher Benedict Spinoza, specifically in his Theologico-Political Treatise and Political Treatise. Spinoza's contribution to the modern political thought is based on the fact that he is one of the first political thinkers claiming that democracy is the best possible form of government. In this thesis, Spinoza's conception of democracy is presented within the context of the period in which his works were written, the events that could have contributed to the forming of his view, and other philosophers whose works influenced his works, directly or indirectly. Furthermore, this paper focuses on the basic elements of Spinoza's philosophy, which forms a coherent systém in which his political philosophy is related to his metaphysical insights. The main part of this paper consists of interpretation of Spinoza's thoughts on democracy in the Theologico-Political Treatise and unfinished Political Treatise. The aim of this thesis is to clarify how Spinoza understands the concept of democracy and the importance of democracy in the context of his works. This thesis also focuses on reasons that led Spinoza to consider democracy the best form of government, and the arguments used to advocate this claim.

The French Revolution and historiography
Prouza, Jiří ; Kučera, Jan (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the historiography of the French revolution. It traces its development since the very beginning until nowadays. It aims to explain key approaches and trends of interpretations of this fundamental event in European and world history. First chapter is concerned with early interpretations - conservative, liberalistic, republican and socialistic, which all mainly arose out of political beliefs of their authors and therefore each of those tried to discover rather the political than the historical "truth". Second chapter focuses on the Marxist view, that dominated in the revolutionary historiography during the 20th century. In the 1960s and 1970s Anglo-American historians (e.g. Cobban, Taylor, Palmer) began to dispute the crucial thoughts of the Marxist historians - concept of the bourgeois revolution, class-struggle and socioeconomic determinism, that were spread above all by Soboul. "Revisionism" moved to the French historiography (esp. Furet) soon after. This approach is described in the third chapter. The revisionist historians finally overthrew the Marxist orthodoxy in the 1980s; however, the historical discussion on the French revolution has continued. Since the revolutionary historiography emancipated from the Marxist dogmatism, it attracted the attention of other...
