1 Page Anim8or V 1.0 build 1.01.1318 Manual Anim8or v1.0 User Manual Current development release is v1.01.1318, January 25, 2018 Like Anim8or, this manual is a work in progress. While it is intended to be a manual for Anim8or v1.0 it has been worked to be backwards compatible to Anim8or v0.95c and forwards compatible to Anim8or v1.01.1318. Obviously the older versions will be missing the newer functions and while Anim8or is in a state of development there may be changes to commands, functions, and buttons.

You interactively create and edit objects, figures, and scenes directly on the computer's screen. The basic interface is similar to most 3D animation and CAD programs, as shown in the following screen shot: You control various aspects of your work using an ordinary computer mouse or tablet. You select and drag, rotate, scale and place objects by clicking in the various views of your work. There are two toolbars that you can use for common tasks. The one at the top of the screen has buttons for general commands that are used throughout Anim8or, while the one on the left allows you to change your mode of operation for common tasks in the current editor that you are using. The usual menu is there for less frequently used tasks. You can control the view of your objects to see how they appear from the front, left, top, back, perspective, etc., and you can show either multiple views or a single view on your screen. There are four editors. 18 First, there is an object editor that is used to build (mostly) static objects. This is where you Page Anim8or V 1.0 build 1.01.1318 Manual create and refine the basic models for your 3D world.

  • Dynamic Resource Management of Network-On-Chip Platforms for Multi-Stream Video Processing

    Dynamic Resource Management of Network-On-Chip Platforms for Multi-Stream Video Processing

    DYNAMIC RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OF NETWORK-ON-CHIP PLATFORMS FOR MULTI-STREAM VIDEO PROCESSING Hashan Roshantha Mendis Doctor of Engineering University of York Computer Science March 2017 2 Abstract This thesis considers resource management in the context of parallel multiple video stream de- coding, on multicore/many-core platforms. Such platforms have tens or hundreds of on-chip processing elements which are connected via a Network-on-Chip (NoC). Inefficient task allo- cation configurations can negatively affect the communication cost and resource contention in the platform, leading to predictability and performance issues. Efficient resource management for large-scale complex workloads is considered a challenging research problem; especially when applications such as video streaming and decoding have dynamic and unpredictable workload characteristics. For these type of applications, runtime heuristic-based task mapping techniques are required. As the application and platform size increase, decentralised resource management techniques are more desirable to overcome the reliability and performance bot- tlenecks in centralised management. In this work, several heuristic-based runtime resource management techniques, targeting real-time video decoding workloads are proposed. Firstly, two admission control approaches are proposed; one fully deterministic and highly predictable; the other is heuristic-based, which balances predictability and performance. Secondly, a pair of runtime task mapping schemes are presented, which make use of limited known application properties, communication cost and blocking-aware heuristics. Combined with the proposed deterministic admission con- troller, these techniques can provide strict timing guarantees for hard real-time streams whilst improving resource usage. The third contribution in this thesis is a distributed, bio-inspired, low-overhead, task re-allocation technique, which is used to further improve the timeliness and workload distribution of admitted soft real-time streams.

It is satisfactory for pictures containing only simple graphics and text. • A 640X480 monochrome image requires 38.4 kilobytes of storage (= 640x480 / (8x1000)). 4 IT342 Fundamentals of Multimedia, Chapter 3 8-bit Gray-level Images • Each pixel has a gray-value between 0 and 255. Each pixel is represented by a single byte; e.g., a dark pixel might have a value of 10, and a bright one might be 230. • Bitmap: The two-dimensional array of pixel values that represents the graphics/image data.

    OVERVIEW OF IMAGE FORMATS SUITABLE FOR PRESENTATION OF ART ON THE WWW ZAJy\CZKOWSKI Grzegorz, JAROSZ Bartosz, WOJCIECHOWSKI Konrad, SMOtKA Bogdan, Silesian Technical University of Gliwice Department of Computer Science Akademicka 16, 44-101 Gliwice Email: bsmolka(a).peach.ia.oolsl. qliwice.pl NAtECKAAnna, MAtECKA Agnieszka SYNOWIEC Pawet, KROL Bogdan School of Arts Katowice An important aspect of image processing is the enormous amount of data which has to be handled when transmitting digital images. The efficient transmission of images is extremally important as the image data transfer takes up over 90 percent of the volume on the Internet. In this aspect computer data compression is a powerfull technology which is playing a vital role in the Information Age. The compression of information can be devided into lossles and lossy techniques. In some cases such as text or financial data transfer only the losless algoritms can be applied. However when transmitting or storing digital images or music data, the application of losssy techniques is aimost invisible to the user, but enables a drastic reduction of the data volume. In this article we present some of the compression techniques which can be used when transmitting or storing digital images. All the formats we were able to gather are accompanied by a short description and an Internet link, which can be used when detailed information is needed. Our intention is to find the optimal compression format for presenting artistic images over the Internet. The first step of our project is the cataloging of the existing formats and evaluating their efficiency when transmitting data containing artistic features.
