  • Virtual Advertising
    18-551 Spring 2000 Group 5 Dallas Baker Jen Deroy Kevin Gotze Virtual Advertising Final Report PROBLEM Advertising is an increasingly important industry in the modern media-driven world, and as technology evolves, it helps advertisers reach their target audience in more and more ways. Ads pop up on Web sites, through sponsorships, and on digital billboards, all to maximize visibility of a company or product. As it is, there is still plenty of wasted advertising, and we feel with the help of technology we can solve one particular problem. Sporting events are broadcasted nationally, yet the ads in the stadium are often oriented to the local market. For example, a Broncos/Steelers game at Mile High Stadium may have ads for a Denver based company, which the fans in Pittsburgh watching on TV are unable to access or benefit from. Or possibly, a Pepsi sponsored event takes place in a stadium in which there are Coca-Cola ads. This sort of counter- productive advertising could easily be remedied with the help of video signal processing. Now that efficient means of implementing this particular technology are available to us, we can superimpose our preferred ads over unwanted ads, like in the case of a CBS broadcast at Times Square. CBS superimposed a CBS logo atop the NBC logo that is on the Times Square TV. THE SOLUTION By digitally altering video footage we overlaid our own ÔGroup 5Õ ad over a Budweiser ad to demonstrate how we could diversify advertising, making the ad more efficient and effective. Given the original ad, we used color information to find the area of the ad in each frame, then superimposed our ad atop of it.

  • From Okemos High to Michigan State: Bill Beekman's Journey From
    From Okemos High to Michigan State: Bill Beekman’s Journey from Chieftain Brave to Spartan Top Jock By Kerry J. Byrnes (Okemos High Class of ’63) Over the past 35 years (1985-2020), William “Bill” Beekman, 1985 graduate of Okemos High School (OHS) rose from a Michigan State University (MSU) new hire in 1995 to holding one of that university’s highest leadership positions. After graduating from OHS, and having completed several academic degrees, Beekman landed a job at MSU as the first step on a journey that, within 25 years, would lead him to becoming that university’s newest Athletic Director, in effect, the Spartan “Top Jock” responsible for leading one of America’s largest athletic programs comprised of 25 sports and 800 student-athletes. But just a year or so on the new job Beekman would suddenly be confronted by two of the biggest challenges of his life. Drawing on several quoted sources, this article looks back on the life of Bill Beekman, how his journey brought him to Michigan State University, and how he now continues to lead, just as he did in high school, with brain over brawn to build Sparty’s “blue blood” credentials in university-level athletics. William Russell Beekman Michigan State University Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Okemos High School William “Bill” Beekman, the son of Edward and Kay Beekman, was born on May 14, 1967. He graduated from Okemos High School in 1985.
