Description

Motion tracking or motion capture started as a photogrammetric analysis tool in biomechanics research in the 1970s and 1980s, and expanded into education, training, sports and recently computer animation for television, cinema, and video games as the technology matured. A performer wears markers near each joint to identify the motion by the positions or angles between the markers. Acoustic, inertial, LED, magnetic or reflective markers, or combinations of any of these, are tracked, optimally at least two times the frequency rate of the desired motion, to submillimeter positions. The resolution of the system is important in both the spatial resolution and temporal resolution as motion blur causes almost the same problems as low resolution.

Fundamentals of Programming Trending!
Programming is the art of writing computer instructions in a language that the computer can interpret and/or understand. In this topic, we shall look at some basic definitions and introduce some basic concepts in programming. Definition 1. A computer is an electronic machine that accepts data as its input, process these data based on some instructions to produce information as it output. These instructions that guide a computer on how to process the data is what we refer to as a program.

CLIENT/SERVER COMPUTING Trending!
Client/Server is a term used to describe a computing model for the development of computerized systems. This model is based on the distribution of functions between two types of independent and autonomous processors: servers and clients. A client is any process that requests specific services from server processes.

INTER-PROCESS COMMUNICATION OR PROCESS SYNCHRONIZATION Trending!
Concurrent access to shared data may result in data inconsistency. Maintaining data consistency requires mechanisms to ensure the orderly execution of cooperating processes. Suppose that we wanted to provide a solution to the consumer-producer problem that fills all the buffers.

PROCESS SCHEDULING: Trending!
CPU is always busy in Multiprogramming. Because CPU switches from one job to another job. But in simple computers CPU sit idle until the I/O request granted. Scheduling is an important OS function. All resources are scheduled before use.(cpu, memory, devices…..) Process scheduling is an essential part of a Multiprogramming operating systems. Such operating systems allow more than one process to be loaded into the executable memory at a time and the loaded process shares the CPU using time multiplexing

COUNSELLING IN HIV AND AIDS Trending!
Counseling is a professional relationship between two or more people, one of whom is a trained counselor, and the other(s), a person or persons undergoing therapy.
