A Picture is worth of thousand words - Basic idea behind the data representation in Multimedia What constitutes Multimedia?
At the start of 1990, Multimedia means a combination of text with document images. During this period, Document Image Management was an outgrowth of facsimile technology.
8. Full motion stored and live video: CD ROM technology has provided the basis for the development of full motion video. Some of the applications include CD-ROM games, courseware, training manuals, multimedia online manuals and reference material etc. An important consideration for full motion video is the need for large band widths for communication media, massive storage requirements and high-density performance compression technologies. Various standardization techniques are used for the above purpose and the efforts are still in progress.
Multimedia Applications
With the progression of graphical user interfaces opened the way of variety of multimedia applications, document image management is the first widely used application that requires storage of large volumes of data in document image format. Document image management still plays a major role most office applications based on a multimedia system. Image processing also known as image recognition is a very different application, while document image management is primarily intended for scanning documents and retaining their images, image processing and image recognition are intended for recognizing objects by analyzing their raster images.
Multimedia Applications
The other applications include E-messaging and Full-motion Digital Video Applications (which includes full motion video messages).
The original image is not altered in a document image workflow management system; rather annotations are recorded and stored separately. An image processing system, on the other hand may actually alter the contents of image itself.
The basic concept of displaying successive images at short intervals to give the perception of motion is being used successfully in designing moving parts such as automobile engines, such as designing parts and modeling parts in CAD/CAM systems.
Use of common APIs allows application developers to develop applications that can work with hardware drivers as well as with software drivers. Use of software drivers allows the user to interact with a much wider range of peripherals and systems.
The following figure describes the architecture of multimedia workstation environment. In this architecture diagram left side is very similar to non-multimedia systems. The right side shows the new architectural entities required for supporting multimedia applications.
