油
This document discusses analyzing the efficiency of algorithms. It introduces the framework for analyzing algorithms in terms of time and space complexity. Time complexity indicates how fast an algorithm runs, while space complexity measures the memory required. The document outlines steps for analyzing algorithms, including measuring input size, determining the basic operations, calculating frequency counts of operations, and expressing efficiency in Big O notation order of growth. Worst-case, best-case, and average-case time complexities are also discussed.
This document summarizes key aspects of real-time kernels. It begins by defining a kernel and its role. It then discusses the structure of a real-time kernel, including layers, states, data structures, and primitives. Scheduling mechanisms like ready queues, insertion, and extraction are covered. Task management, semaphores, and intertask communication using mailboxes and cyclical asynchronous buffers are summarized. The document also discusses system overhead considerations like context switching and interrupts.
Computer graphics are images displayed on a computer screen and include everything on computers that is not text or sound. Computer graphics technology deals with designs and pictures on computers. Computer graphics have many applications including graphical user interfaces, computer-aided design, entertainment, image processing, visualization, image enhancement, education and training, and computer art.
Microsoft Corporation developed the Windows operating system. Windows is a series of graphical interface operating systems that came to dominate the personal computer market. The most recent versions are Windows 8.1 for personal computers, Windows Phone 8 for mobile devices, Windows Server 2012 R2 for server computers, and Windows Embedded 8 for embedded devices.

The workshop provides guidance for making meetings effective through practicing facilitation skills and receiving feedback.
The document summarizes raster scan and random scan displays. Raster scan displays use an electron beam that sweeps across the screen from top to bottom to generate pixels based on values stored in a refresh buffer. Random scan displays directly draw images using an electron beam without a fixed pattern, storing only line drawing instructions. The key differences are that raster scan is used for realistic images due to storing intensity values while random scan has higher resolution but is limited to line drawings. Both use a cathode ray tube containing an electron gun, deflection coils, and phosphor screen.
An IP address is a unique 32-bit number that identifies each device on a network. It allows devices to communicate by sending and receiving data packets. IP addresses are made up of a network portion and host portion, with four sections that each range from 0-255. There are five classes of IP addresses - A, B, C, D and E - that determine the number of networks and hosts. IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses written in dotted decimal notation, while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses written in hex. IP addresses can be static or dynamically assigned by a DHCP server.
The document describes the components and operation of a raster scan graphics display system. A video controller accesses a frame buffer in system memory to refresh the screen. It performs operations like retrieving pixel intensities from different memory areas and using two frame buffers to allow refreshing one screen while filling the other for animation. A raster scan display processor can digitize graphics into pixel intensities for storage in the frame buffer to offload this processing from the CPU.
The Cohen-Sutherland algorithm divides the plane into 9 regions and uses 4-bit codes to encode whether each endpoint of a line segment is left, right, above, or below the clipping window. It then uses the endpoint codes to either trivially accept or reject the line segment, or perform clipping by calculating the intersection point of the line with the window boundary and replacing the outside endpoint. The main steps are to assign codes to endpoints, AND the codes to check for trivial acceptance or rejection, clip by replacing outside endpoints if needed, and repeating for other line segments.
The document describes the Breshenham's circle generation algorithm. It explains that the algorithm uses a decision parameter to iteratively select pixels along the circumference of a circle. It provides pseudocode for the algorithm, which initializes x and y values, calculates a decision parameter, and increments x while decrementing y at each step, plotting points based on the decision parameter. An example of applying the algorithm to generate a circle with radius 5 is also provided.
The depth buffer method is used to determine visibility in 3D graphics by testing the depth (z-coordinate) of each surface to determine the closest visible surface. It involves using two buffers - a depth buffer to store the depth values and a frame buffer to store color values. For each pixel, the depth value is calculated and compared to the existing value in the depth buffer, and if closer the color and depth values are updated in the respective buffers. This method is implemented efficiently in hardware and processes surfaces one at a time in any order.
The document discusses 2D viewing and clipping techniques in computer graphics. It describes how clipping is used to select only a portion of an image to display by defining a clipping region. It also discusses 2D viewing transformations which involve operations like translation, rotation and scaling to map coordinates from a world coordinate system to a device coordinate system. It specifically describes the Cohen-Sutherland line clipping algorithm which uses region codes to quickly determine if lines are completely inside, outside or intersect the clipping region to optimize the clipping calculation.
This document discusses 2D geometric transformations including translation, rotation, and scaling. It provides the mathematical definitions and matrix representations for each transformation. Translation moves an object along a straight path, rotation moves it along a circular path, and scaling changes its size. All transformations can be represented by 3x3 matrices using homogeneous coordinates to allow combinations of multiple transformations. The inverse of each transformation matrix is also defined.
with today's advanced technology like photoshop, paint etc. we need to understand some basic concepts like how they are cropping the image , tilt the image etc.
In our presentation you will find basic introduction of 2D transformation.
Random scan displays and raster scan displaysSomya Bagai
油
Raster scan displays work by sweeping an electron beam across the screen in horizontal lines from top to bottom. As the beam moves, its intensity is turned on and off to illuminate pixels and form an image. The pixel values are stored in and retrieved from a refresh buffer or frame buffer. Random scan displays draw images using geometric primitives like points and lines based on mathematical equations, directing the electron beam only where needed. Raster scans have higher resolution but jagged lines, while random scans produce smooth lines but cannot display complex images. Both use a video controller and frame buffer in memory to control the display process.

The document discusses window to viewport transformation. It defines a window as a world coordinate area selected for display and a viewport as a rectangular region of the screen selected for displaying objects. Window to viewport mapping requires transforming coordinates from the window to the viewport. This involves translation, scaling and another translation.

An example transforms a sample window to a viewport through these three steps.
The Sutherland-Hodgman algorithm clips polygons by clipping against each edge of the clipping window in a specific order: left, top, right, bottom. It works by testing each edge of the polygon against the clipping window boundary and either keeping or discarding vertices based on whether they are inside or outside the window. The algorithm results in a clipped polygon that only includes vertices and edge intersections that are inside the clipping window.

Introduction to computer graphics part 2Ankit Garg
油
This document discusses cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and how they work as display devices for computer graphics. It explains that CRTs contain an electron gun that emits a stream of electrons which are focused into a beam and directed to specific points on the phosphor-coated front of the picture tube. When the electron beam hits a phosphor dot, it glows proportionally to the beam strength. Color CRTs use three electron guns and a shadow mask to separately excite red, green, and blue phosphor dots, allowing for color displays. The document also covers other properties of CRTs like resolution, persistence, and aspect ratio.
This document discusses digital images and image processing. It covers several key topics:
1. Digital images are composed of pixels that can be represented in grayscale or RGB color. Higher bit depths allow for more colors or shades.
2. Image processing systems involve hardware, software, procedures, and people working together to explore digital images. Common hardware includes scanners, cameras, printers and monitors.
3. There are two main types of digital images - bitmapped (raster) images composed of pixels in a grid, and vector images defined by geometric shapes. Both have advantages for different types of images.
This document discusses various attributes that control the appearance of output primitives like lines, curves, areas, and characters in computer graphics. It describes parameters for setting line width, color, and style. Methods for displaying thick lines and smoothly joined lines are presented. Options for filling areas with solid colors or patterns are introduced. Finally, attributes for controlling font, size, color, and orientation of displayed text are covered.
This document provides an overview of JPEG image compression. It discusses how digitized images require large amounts of memory and bandwidth. The JPEG standard was developed to address this by compressing images lossily. The main stages of JPEG compression are:
1. Dividing images into 8x8 pixel blocks and applying the discrete cosine transform (DCT) to each block.
2. Quantizing the DCT coefficients, discarding higher frequency coefficients below a threshold.
3. Entropy encoding the coefficients using techniques like run-length encoding and Huffman coding.
4. Assembling the encoded image into a JPEG bitstream with headers describing the encoding process.
This chapter discusses various graphics and image file formats, including bitmap, JPEG, and GIF formats. It also covers basic image types such as 1-bit black and white images and 8-bit grayscale images. Color images can be stored as 24-bit RGB images or 8-bit color images using a color lookup table. The chapter also introduces digital audio concepts and the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) standard for controlling electronic musical instruments.
The document summarizes key differences between vector scan and raster scan displays. Vector scan displays directly draw lines between points by moving the electron beam between endpoints, while raster scan displays sweep the beam across the entire screen in lines from top to bottom. Raster scan is more common as it does not flicker even with complex images and has lower cost and hardware requirements than vector scan. Both methods store images in a frame buffer but raster scan must convert graphics to pixels while vector scan does not.

antimicrobicus sp. nov., a novel actinobacterium isolated from clay soil in a paddy field in Thailand. The study explores its antimicrobial activity against drug-resistant bacteria.
2. Frame Buffer / Refresh Buffer:
It is a digital memory where the image is stored as a
matrix of intensity values of pixels.
Or
The portion of the memory used to hold the pixels is
called frame buffer.
Or
The Intensity values for all pixels are stored into an
array. It is used to raster-scan display.
A 1024 x 1024 element square raster requires 220 (210 =
1024, 220 = 1024 x 1024) or 1,048,576 memory bits in a
single bit plane
3. Digital-to-Analog (DAC) Converter
The frame-buffer is a digital device, while CRT
is an analog device, conversion from a digital
representation to an analog signal must take
place when information is read from the
frame buffer and displayed on the raster CRT
graphics device. This is accomplished by a
digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
Each pixel in the frame buffer must be
accessed and converted by DAC before it is
visible on the raster CRT.
4. A Single Bit-Plane Black-and-White Frame
Buffer Raster CRT Graphics Device
5. N-Bit-Plane Gray Level Frame Buffer
Color or gray levels are incorporated into a frame-buffer raster
graphics device by using additional bit planes. Following Fig.
schematically shows an N-bit-plane gray level frame buffer.
6. An N Bit Plane Gray Level Frame Buffer with
W-bit Wide Lookup Table
An increase in the number of available intensity levels is
achieved for a modest increase in required memory by using a
lookup table, as shown in following fig.
7. Upon reading the bit-planes in the frame
buffer, the resulting number is used as an
index into lookup table.
The lookup table must contain 2N entries. Each
entry in the lookup table is W-bit wide. W may
be greater than N. When this occurs, 2W
intensities are available, but only 2N different
intensities are available at one time.
To get additional intensities, the lookup table
must be changed (reloaded).
8. Simple 3-Bit Plane Color Frame Buffer
If there are three primary colors, a simple
color frame buffer is implemented with 3 bit
planes, one for each primary color.
Each bit plane drives an individual color gun
for each of the three primary colors used in
color video.
These three primaries (red, green & blue) are
combined at the CRT to yield eight colors, as
shown in table.
9. Red Green Blue Color

0 0 1 Blue
0 1 0 Green
0 1 1 Cyan
1 0 0 Red
1 0 1 Magenta

11. A 24 Bit-plane Color Frame Buffer
Additional bit planes can be used for each of
the three color guns.

frame buffer, with 8 bit planes per color, i.e.
a 24-bit-plane frame buffer as shown in fig.
