Multimedia Technology - Chapter 1- Introduction to Multimedia

Course: Multimedia Technology

Chapter: 1 

Chapter Title: Introduction to Multimedia

WHAT IS IT?
Oxford English Dictionary:

“A. adj. Using more than one medium of communication, artistic expression, etc.;
( Computing ) designating or relating to applications which incorporate a number of media, such as text, audio, video, and animation, esp. interactively.

“Multimedia means that computer information can be represented through audio, video, and animation in addition to traditional media (i.e., text, graphics drawings, images).”

A good general definition is:
“Multimedia is the field concerned with the computer-controlled integration of text, graphics, drawings, still and moving images (Video), animation, sound, audio, and any other media where every type of information can be represented, stored, transmitted and processed digitally.”

“A Multimedia Application is an Application which uses a collection of multiple media sources e.g. text, graphics, images, sound/audio, animation and/or video.”

Elements of Multimedia:

• Graphics (Images/Pictures)
• Audio
• Video
• Text
• Animation

COMPONENTS OF MULTIMEDIA

Multimedia involves multiple modalities of text, audio, images, drawings, animation, and video.

Examples of how these modalities are put to use:
1. Video teleconferencing.
2. Distributed lectures for higher education.
3. Tele-medicine.
4. Co-operative work environments.
5. Searching in (very) large video and image
databases for target visual objects.
6. “Augmented” reality: placing real-appearing computer graphics and video objects into scenes.
7. Including audio cues for where video-conference participants are located.
8. Building searchable features into new video, and enabling very high- to very low-bit-rate use of new, scalable multimedia products.
9. Making multimedia components editable.
10. Building \inverse-Hollywood" applications that can recreate the process by which a video was made.
11. Using voice-recognition to build an interactive environment, say a kitchen-wall web browser.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM

A Multimedia system has four basic characteristics:
• Multimedia systems must be computer controlled.
• Multimedia systems are integrated.
• The information they handle must be represented digitally.
• The interface to the final presentation of media is usually interactive.

APPLICATIONS OF MULTIMEDIA

Games, Video-on-demand, Education, Interactive TV, Promotional material , Home shopping, Visualization applications,  Virtual reality, Traditional mediums e.g. TV Digital video editing and production systems.  Hypermedia course-ware, Video conferencing, Multimedia Database systems, etc.

Chapter 2 _ Graphics and Images

Course: Multimedia Technology

Chapter: 2

Chapter Title: Graphics and Images

Contents:

• Introduction
• Bitmap Images
• Vector Images
• Image Resolution  & Aspect Ratio
• Image Data Types
• 1.Monochrome/ 1-Bit Images
  2.8-bit Gray-scale Images
  3.8-bit Colour Images
  4.24-bit Colour Images
  5.32-bit Colour Images

GRAPHICAL IMAGES

Graphical images obviously play a very important role in multimedia piece. Images may be photograph-like bitmaps, vector-based drawings, or 3D rendering. Tools for image management focus on different kinds of images and converting between formats peculiar to different tools and platforms

Bitmap Images

A bitmap is a matrix describing the individual dots that are the smallest elements (pixels) of resolution on a computer screen or printer or we can say a bitmap image is an array of logical pixels.

• monochrome just requires one bit per pixel, representing black or white
• 8 bits per pixel allows 256 distinct colors, 16 bits per pixel represents 32K distinct colors, 24 bits per pixel allows millions of colors

VECTOR IMAGES

A vector-drawn image is created from geometric objects such as lines, rectangles, ovals, polygons using mathematical formulas

Mathematical description of lines, curves and shapes. Requires computation to determine logical pixels Compact, scalable, resolution independent and easy to edit. Based on co-ordinates and algorithms. Description is infinitely thin Computation chooses logical pixels. Anti-aliasing to fix jaggies Basic blocks
Squares, polygons, ellipses, lines, bézier curves…
Easy to manipulate Scale, skew, rotate…

IMAGE RESOLUTION: 

Image resolution refers to the number of pixels per inch area of an image. Higher the resolution, means higher the number of pixels in that image hence better the quality but also with increase in file size. Lower  the resolution means less amount of pixels in an image and hence having poor quality with less file size.

IT Project Management Chapter 6 Project Implementation

IT Project Management Chapter 6 Project Implementation

Getting the implementation phase right the first time is crucial for any  project manager or project team. This chapter offers guidelines for successfully implementing a project and ensuring that all relevant areas  have been addressed. Remember that everything the project team  planned, developed, and changed throughout the project life cycle is now ready for implementation. Implementation, in a nutshell, refers to the efficient transfer of the project into the client's "live" production environment. The logistical deployment of the project into the business operation is often complex and needs close coordination by the project team.The users of the future system are anxiously waiting for the new solution and most probably have been briefed as to when the solution will be  implemented and "up and running." If the production manager fails to deliver at the specified time and within the designed functionality, problems are bound to occur. There is no turning back! In this chapter I show how to implement a system and support it at a low cost. Failure to deploy a project correctly is one of the major causes of project failure.

The implementation of the solution is not final until sufficient attention is paid to ensure that client is

knowledgeable and has been trained to use the solution. Training the client staff can take up considerable project resources, often a significant proportion of the overall cost of the project. Therefore, the training should be carefully planned and budgeted. The staff who will maintain

and support the solution once it is implemented should also be offered training.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

The implementation plan, which was developed by the project manager during the design phase, should, at this stage, be approved and communicated to all project stakeholders. A successful project can be ruined by a poor implementation plan. A working implementation schedule should be developed and maintained for all parties to use and agree upon. As the project changes, the project manager must pay close attention to the schedule and update it to reflect the latest changes to the implementation date. This schedule should then be communicated to all project stakeholders.

LESSONS LEARNED DURING PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION

"What could be simpler than buying some computers, throwing them on a  desktop, plugging them in and turning them on?"

The question is simple: The answer is much more complex. Complexity is almost always underestimated until well after the start of the planning process. Many of the elements of deployment require special coordination and handling due to the lack of direct control over the processes or

compounding dependencies. Complexity can come from the technical nature of a project that attempts to take advantage of a new technology not yet tested by the corporation and requires full integration into the existing systems. These factors don't surface until the project manager demands action or some form of change. Implementing a solution without testing it properly is not acceptable.

PROJECT CONCLUSION

Often the most neglected phase of any project is the closure phase. The closure phase brings the project to an orderly conclusion for the benefit of the organization and also for any future project. At this stage, the majority of project managers are looking at or have already been assigned new projects. It is exactly at this point that many project managers begin neglecting the closure phase tasks of a project.One of the main reasons for this is that there are administrative tasks to complete during this phase. However, it is important to remember that the client has paid for the project, and the client determines when the project is complete. So, remember to complete the project life cycle.
If the project does not receive the proper support until the very end, the client loses the benefits of the project and the project manager will most probably lose the recognition. In today's market, client satisfaction requires more than just implementing a quality solution. When a project is completed but the post-project support is not properly planned for, disaster strikes, leaving the client disappointed.

Computer Graphics Problem Solution of 2D Transformation

Computer Graphics Problem Solution of 2D Transformation

Translation

2D Geometrical transformation is defined as, Let (A, B) be a straight line segment between the points A and B. Let T be a general 2D transformation. Then a T transforms can be applied on (A, B) into another straight line segment  to achieve (A’, B’), where:

   A’=TA and 

B’=TB

Problem: Consider an Object shown in figure below, what will be its new  Shape and Location after  Shearing of (4, 6) on vertex-1 and (8,12) on Vertex-3. The location is translated (5, -5) and Rotated (350). Draw the Graph also. 

 

Shear (x+ay, y+bx)

V1= (4,8), shear on V1 is (4,6)

  => (4+4x8,  8+6x4) 

  =  (36, 32)=V1`

V3= (2,2), shear on V3 is (8,12)

  => (2+8x2,  2+12x2)  

  = (18, 26)=V3`

Graph of 2D Shear

Translation of (5,-5) will be done on all three vertex. Here we will use New Vertex coordinates, V1`, V2, V3`.  

V1` = (36, 32) => (36+5, 32-5) 
      = (41, 27) = V1T

V2 = (6, 2) => (6+5, 2-5) 
      = (11, -3) = V2T

V3` = (18, 26) => (18+5, 26-5) 
      = (23, 21) = v3T

Graph of 2D Translation

Finally Rotation of 350 is performed again on three vertices, with their new location.

(x, y) => (x cos(q)+ysin(q), -x sin(q)+y cos(q) )

V1T = (41, 27) => (41 cos(35) +27sin(35) , -41sin(35) + 27cos(35) )

    => (( 41 x 0.819) + (27 x 0.573) , (-41 x 0.573) + (27 x 0.819) )

    =>  ( 33.579 + 15.471 , -23.493 + 22.113)

    V1R  => (49.05 , -1.38)  => 

     V1R = Roundoff( 49, -1)

V2T = (11, -3) => (11 cos(35) +-3sin(35) , -11sin(35) + -3cos(35) )

  => (( 11 x 0.819) + (-3 x 0.573) , (-11 x 0.573) + (-3 x 0.819) )

  =>  ( 9.009 + (-1.719) , -6.303 + (-2.457))

  V2R  => (7.29 , -8.76)  

 V2R = Roundoff( 7, -9)

V3T = (23, 21) => (23 cos(35) +21sin(35) , -23sin(35) + 21cos(35) )

  => (( 23 x 0.819) + (21 x 0.573) , (-23 x 0.573) + (21 x 0.819) )

  =>  ( 18.837 + 12.033 , -13.179 + 17.199)

  V3R  => (30.87 , 4.02)  

V3R = Roundoff( 31, 4)
