  • Progressive Imagery with Scalable Vector Graphics -..:: VCG Rostock
    Progressive imagery with scalable vector graphics Georg Fuchsa, Heidrun Schumanna, and Ren´eRosenbaumb aUniversity of Rostock, Institute for Computer Science, 18051 Rostock, Germany; bUC Davis, Institute of Data Analysis & Visualization, Davis, CA 95616 U.S.A. ABSTRACT Vector graphics can be scaled without loss of quality, making them suitable for mobile image communication where a given graphics must be typically represented in high quality for a wide range of screen resolutions. One problem is that file size increases rapidly as content becomes more detailed, which can reduce response times and efficiency in mobile settings. Analog issues for large raster imagery have been overcome using progressive refinement schemes. Similar ideas have already been applied to vector graphics, but an implementation that is compliant to a major and widely adopted standard is still missing. In this publication we show how to provide progressive refinement schemes based on the extendable Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) standard. We propose two strategies: decomposition of the original SVG and incremental transmission using (1) several linked files and (2) element-wise streaming of a single file. The publication discusses how both strategies are employed in mobile image communication scenarios where the user can interactively define RoIs for prioritized image communication, and reports initial results we obtained from a prototypically implemented client/server setup. Keywords: Progression, Progressive refinement, Scalable Vector Graphics, SVG, Mobile image communication 1. INTRODUCTION Vector graphics use graphic primitives such as points, lines, curves, and polygons to represent image contents. As those primitives are defined by means of geometric coordinates that are independent of actual pixel resolutions, vector graphics can be scaled without loss of quality.

    Client-Side Cornucopia: Comparing the Built-In Application Architecture Models in the Web Browser Antero Taivalsaari1, Tommi Mikkonen2, Cesare Pautasso3, and Kari Syst¨a4, 1Nokia Bell Labs, Tampere, Finland 2University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland 3University of Lugano, Lugano, Swizerland 4Tampere University, Tampere, Finland [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. The programming capabilities of the Web can be viewed as an afterthought, designed originally by non-programmers for relatively simple scripting tasks. This has resulted in cornucopia of partially over- lapping options for building applications. Depending on one's viewpoint, a generic standards-compatible web browser supports three, four or five built-in application rendering and programming models. In this paper, we give an overview and comparison of these built-in client-side web ap- plication architectures in light of the established software engineering principles. We also reflect on our earlier work in this area, and provide an expanded discussion of the current situation. In conclusion, while the dominance of the base HTML/CSS/JS technologies cannot be ignored, we expect Web Components and WebGL to gain more popularity as the world moves towards increasingly complex web applications, including systems supporting virtual and augmented reality. Keywords|Web programming, single page web applications, web com- ponents, web application architectures, rendering engines, web rendering, web browser 1 Introduction The World Wide Web has become such an integral part of our lives that it is often forgotten that the Web has existed only about thirty years. The original design sketches related to the World Wide Web date back to the late 1980s.

  • HTML5 Web Workers
    HHTTMMLL55 -- WWEEBB WWOORRKKEERRSS http://www.tutorialspoint.com/html5/html5_web_workers.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com JavaScript was designed to run in a single-threaded environment, meaning multiple scripts cannot run at the same time. Consider a situation where you need to handle UI events, query and process large amounts of API data, and manipulate the DOM. Javascript will hang your browser in situation where CPU utilization is high. Let us take a simple example where Javascript goes through a big loop − <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>Big for loop</title> <script> function bigLoop(){ for (var i = 0; i <= 10000; i += 1){ var j = i; } alert("Completed " + j + "iterations" ); } function sayHello(){ alert("Hello sir...." ); } </script> </head> <body> <input type="button" onclick="bigLoop();" value="Big Loop" /> <input type="button" onclick="sayHello();" value="Say Hello" /> </body> </html> It will produce the following result − When you click Big Loop button it displays following result in Firefox − What is Web Workers? The situation explained above can be handled using Web Workers who will do all the computationally expensive tasks without interrupting the user interface and typically run on separate threads. Web Workers allow for long-running scripts that are not interrupted by scripts that respond to clicks or other user interactions, and allows long tasks to be executed without yielding to keep the page responsive. Web Workers are background scripts and they are relatively heavy-weight, and are not intended to be used in large numbers. For example, it would be inappropriate to launch one worker for each pixel of a four megapixel image. When a script is executing inside a Web Worker it cannot access the web page's window object window.
