Project description:The preparatory phase for the BAN: Power System Enhancement and Efficiency Improvement Program- Tranche 2 received ninety-three subprojects altogether that have been proposed by three power transmission and distribution companies in Bangladesh. The three agencies are Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB), Dhaka Power Distribution Company (DPDC) and Dhaka Electricity Supply Company Ltd (DESCO). All the subprojects have aimed to strengthen the power supply stability, reliability and transmission and distribution network capacity in Bangladesh. 2. The Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) proposed thirty-seven subprojects for Tranche 2 which included components to evacuate power that would be generated by the upcoming power plants at Ghorasal. In addition, the improvement in power transmission facility will strengthen the power supply stability, reliability and transmission capacity in the eastern side of Dhaka city, to the north-east of Dhaka (Gazipur and Naryanganj), and the core areas of Chittagong and Sylhet. These subprojects will be funded by the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and kfW under four different components. The Executing Agency (EA) will be the PGCB hereinafter referred to as EA. 3. Scope of land acquisition and involuntary resettlement impact: Of the thirty-seven subprojects, eighteen subprojects will not lead to any temporary or permanent physical or economic displacement and involuntary resettlement of either the title or the non-title-holders. None of the subprojects required any land acquisition and the substations would be constructed within the existing substation premises or on vacant land that remains in the possession of the EA. The Transmission Line (T/L) subprojects that fall under these twelve subprojects would traverse along road easements, state land or low lying areas to avoid or minimize any adverse impacts on people’s private properties and livelihoods. Three other subprojects require acquisition of 22.0 acres of private land leading to permanent economic displacement of about 59 persons.Construction of twelve other transmission line (T/L) subprojects will affect the standing crops spread over an area of about 28.9 acres due to installation of towers required for transmission lines.Paddy cultivations of about188 persons will be temporarily affected during the project construction period.The EA has not identified the required land for three of its proposed subprojects at the time of conducting the due diligence (June-July 2013) and therefore a status review could not be conducted. However, if any land is acquired in anticipation of financing from ADB, the process of acquisition, payment of compensation and resettlement will be guided by the Resettlement Framework ofBAN: Power System Enhancement and Efficiency Improvement Program- Tranche 1 (September 2012) and the Safeguard Policy Statement of the ADB. The EA will upgrade the RP and submit to ADB for its approval and disclosure prior to the commencement of any construction work by the contractors. 4. Socio-economic profile of displaced persons (DPs): The construction of the 230/132/33 kV AIS substation at Sripur will result in permanent economic displacement of 28 marginal farmers of lower middle and poor socio-economic status. The construction of the i 132kV/33kV GIS substation at Sylhet will cause economic displacement to six poor households partly dependent on cultivations and partly on small trading. The estimated number of persons to be economically displaced by the construction of the 230kV/132kV GIS substation at Shyampur is approximately 25 middle income farmers, the majority of whom is also dependent on supplementary sources of income. Twelve transmission line subprojects will lead to temporary economic displacement of an estimated 188 farmers. 5. Socio-economic profile of the project impact area: A baseline survey conducted with 110 households living along five T/L subprojects included 64.5 percent living in semi-urban areas; another 16.3 percent in urban areas; and 19 percent in rural areas. The total population of the 110 households was 539 with an average household size of 4.9. Of this population, 31.4 percent were dependents below the age of 18 years. The male and female population was 57.1 percent and 42.8 percent respectively. The married population was 65.6 percent whereas the rest 34.4 were unmarried. All the 110 households were Bangali nationals. By religion, 95 percent were Muslims and the rest 5 percent were Hindus. 84.5 percent of the households were living in nuclear families while the rest 15 percent in extended families. All the households were male headed. The educational achievement of 77 percent of the population was below the junior school certificate. Poverty has been the major underlying factor that deprived a large number of children pursuing higher education. The educational standards among women are low compared to men. Opportunities for pursuing vocational and technical education are limited and access to available resources is curtailed by household poverty. Only 11 percent owned land and 80.9 percent lived in rented out houses. Households in project sites drew incomes from multiple sources. The males constituted 74.3 percent of the family income earners. 96.5 percent of the small businesses were run by men. In contrary, women constituted the majority (89.6 percent) in running poultry farms, fishnet making, tutoring and tailoring. Men dominated the government sector jobs having a share of 90.9 percent of the government employment. Migrants for foreign employment were 2.8 percent. The foreign remittance that households received ranged from Tk10,000 to Tk50,000 a month (US $125-625). The average monthly income of the households was Tk20,762.05 whereas their monthly per capita income stood at Tk4,237.15. The monthly average household expenditure was at Tk19,543.84 with a monthly per capita expenditure of Tk3,988.53. Of the monthly expenditures, 98.4 percent was spent on consumables and 1.6 percent on non-consumable investments such as agricultural activities. The households spent 47.3 percent of the monthly incomes on food, 5.5 percent on electricity and another 4.4 percent for purchasing fuel wood. Regular prevalence of fever, jaundice,

  • Digital Video in Multimedia Pdf
    Digital video in multimedia pdf Continue Digital Electronic Representation of Moving Visual Images This article is about the digital methods applied to video. The standard digital video storage format can be viewed on DV. For other purposes, see Digital Video (disambiguation). Digital video is an electronic representation of moving visual images (video) in the form of coded digital data. This contrasts with analog video, which is a moving visual image with analog signals. Digital video includes a series of digital images displayed in quick succession. Digital video was first commercially introduced in 1986 in Sony D1 format, which recorded a non-repressive standard digital video definition component. In addition to uncompressed formats, today's popular compressed digital video formats include H.264 and MPEG-4. Modern interconnect standards for digital video include HDMI, DisplayPort, Digital Visual Interface (DVI) and Serial Digital Interface (SDI). Digital video can be copied without compromising quality. In contrast, when analog sources are copied, they experience loss of generation. Digital video can be stored in digital media, such as Blu-ray Disc, in computer data storage, or transmitted over the Internet to end users who watch content on a desktop or digital smart TV screen. In everyday practice, digital video content, such as TV shows and movies, also includes a digital audio soundtrack. History Digital Video Cameras Additional Information: Digital Cinematography, Image Sensor, and Video Camera Base for Digital Video Cameras are metallic oxide-semiconductor (MOS) image sensors. The first practical semiconductor image sensor was a charging device (CCD) invented in 1969 using MOS capacitor technology.

WATERMARKED IMAGE COMPRESSION AND TRANSMISSION THROUGH DIGITAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM M. VENU GOPALA RAO 1, N. NAGA SWETHA 2, B. KARTHIK 3, D. JAGADEESH PRASAD 4 & K. ABHILASH 5 1Professor, Department of ECE, K L University, Vaddeswaram, Andhra Pradesh, India 2,3,4,5 Student, Department of ECE, K L University, Vaddeswaram, Andhra Pradesh, India ABSTRACT This paper presents a process able to mark digital images with an invisible and undetectable secrete information, called the watermark, followed by compression of the watermarked image and transmitting through a digital communication system. This process can be the basis of a complete copyright protection system. Digital water marking is a feasible method for the protection of ownership rights of digital media such as audio, image, video and other data types. The application includes digital signatures, fingerprinting, broadcast and publication monitoring, copy control, authentication, and secret communication. For the efficient transmission of an image across a channel, source coding in the form of image compression at the transmitter side & the image recovery at the receiver side are the integral process involved in any digital communication system. Other processes like channel encoding, signal modulation at the transmitter side & their corresponding inverse processes at the receiver side along with the channel equalization help greatly in minimizing the bit error rate due to the effect of noise & bandwidth limitations (or the channel capacity) of the channel. The results shows that the effectiveness of the proposed system for retrieving the secret data without any distortion.

The results are fully explained in subsequent sections on video canpression, Landsat image processipa, and satellite commnications . The first task of contract NAS 2-9703 was to extend a simple monochrome conditional replenishment system to higher compression and to higher motion levels, by incorporating spatially adaptive quantizers and field repeating. Conditional replenishment combines intraframe and interframe compression, and bath areas were to be investigated. The gain of conditional replenishment depends on the fraction of the image changing, since only changed parts of the image need to be transmitted. If the transmission rate is set so that only one-fourth of the image can be transmitted in each field, greater change fractions will overload the system. To accomplish task I, a computer simulation was prepared which incorporated 1) field repeat of changes, 2) a variable change threshold, 3) frame repeat for high change, and 4) two mcde, variable rate Hadamard intraframe quantizers.

The article is devoted to the development of a digital image compres- sion algorithm. Image compression is a type of data compression applied to dig- ital images, to reduce their cost for storage or transmission. Algorithms may take advantage of visual perception and the statistical properties of image data. We will consider a lossy compression algorithm. The new algorithm is based on multiscale decomposition with a spline as a basis function. In the process of multiscale analysis, when constructing a spline, we should take into account analytical links. The application of this approach give an increase in the com- pression ratio with the same quality of compressed images. Keywords: Digital Image Compression, Analytical Links, Hermitian Spline, Multiscale Analysis. 1 Introduction Multimedia standards for video compression for personalized television, high defini- tion digital television (HDTV), and image / video database maintenance use close motion and encoding methods. Three basic standards - MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 were developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), under the auspices of the ISO and the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (was renamed the International Telegraph Union (ITU).
