Within the next two months, Eastman Kodak Research Laboratories will be generating video movie sequences. We are making these images available to promote greater interest in video animation algorithms research. Each frame is 512 pixel elements (one byte per pixel) by 512 lines in three color bands. Tentatively, we'll use gif format, but we are open to other suggestions. (In addition, I've written a video movie program in basic xlib to display these images at 24 frames per second.) But for security reasons we cannot allow anonymous ftp, so we would like some friendly university site to volunteer to store and distribute these images. If anyone is interested in receiving these images, or in video animation algorithms research contact me at the address below. ----------------- Len Tiefel | ___ ________ | Eastman Kodak Company | | / / | | Research Laboratories | | / / | | Imaging Science Laboratory | |< < K O D A K| | Rochester, NY 14650 | | \ \ | | (716) 722-2250 FAX (716) 722-0160 | |__\ \________| | email: tiefel@kodak.com | | Standard disclaimers apply ----------------- "Tell me what company thou keepest, and I'll tell thee what thou art." -- Cervantes

Len: Thanks for sharing the good news.... I am intersted in images, animation code (Xlib) and the algorithsms... Please let me how I can get these!!! Thanks, Vijay Vijay S. Tripathi Internet: vijay@hydro.saic.com Director Contaminant Transport Research SAIC 1710 Goodridge Drive McLean, VA 22102

The Eastman Kodak Research Laboratories will be generating video movie sequences and providing these freely through anonymous ftp within the next three months. (The details will be given later.) So, to provide the world's research community with the most useful images, consider the following questions: What image format would be most useful? Example: gif What image size (pixels, lines, bands) would be most useful? Example: 256x512x3 Would monochrome be more useful than color? How many bits per pixel would be most useful? Example: 12 Would computer generated motion drawing be more useful than actual video movies? What sort of scenes would be most useful? Example: a moving car How many frames per scene would be most useful? (Assume 24 frames per second.) Example: 100 ----------------- Len Tiefel | ___ ________ | Eastman Kodak Company | | / / | | Research Laboratories | | / / | | Imaging Science Laboratory | |< < K O D A K| | Rochester, NY 14650 | | \ \ | | (716) 722-2250 FAX (716) 722-0160 | |__\ \________| | email: tiefel@kodak.com | | Standard disclaimers apply ----------------- "Productive achievement is our noblest activity" -- Ayn Rand, American author (1905-1982).

If we are talking video, why assume 24 frames per second?
