This comprehensive yet accessible text provides a good introduction to the fundamental concepts of Information Technology and skillfully elaborates on their applications, covering in the process the entire spectrum of IT related topics. Organized into three parts, the book offers an insightful analysis of the subject, explaining the concepts through suitable illustrations. Part I covers basic issues and concepts of Internet and the techniques of acquiring, storing, structuring and managing information that may involve images, text files and video data. The reader is exposed to both centralized and distributed database systems. Part II deals with the core topics in developing information systems which are based on audio and speech compression, multimedia communication techniques, and soft computing for analysis and interpretation of data. Part III focusses on a number of application areas-as remote sensing, telemedicine, e-commerce, cybermediary and rural development-besides the traditional engineering disciplines, highlighting their social impacts. The book is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of information technology, computer science as well as electronics and electrical communication engineering. It should also serve as an excellent reference for professionals in the IT field. Key Features: Discusses in detail the theoretical basis behind a web graph. Deals with security issues of computer networks and their implications in an easy-to-understand manner. Contains more than 30 projects (with useful hints) that students of various IT courses would find interesting to work on. Three chapters are exclusively devoted to different aspects of database management and data mining systems.

161. lappuse - The MPEG4 algorithm is based on the philosophy of object-based coding which treats any audio-visual information as a collection of objects rather than sampled signals or pixels and the generated code-stream is highly scalable. It provides an abstract approach to multimedia coding. In contrast to the conventional video coding techniques, a scene in MPEG4 standard is viewed as a composition of video objects (VO) with intrinsic object properties such as shape, texture and motion.
