Alpha and the History of Digital Compositing Technical Memo 7 Alvy Ray Smith August 15‚ 1995 Abstract The history of digital image compositing—other than simple digital implementation of known film art—is essentially the history of the alpha channel. Distinctions are drawn between digital printing and digital compositing‚ between matte creation and matte usage‚ and between (binary) masking and (subtle) matting. The history of the integral alpha channel and premultiplied alpha ideas are presented

THE INSIDER/OUTSIDE DEBATE IN RELIGION One of the major debate in religious studies is the believers/observers or insiders/outsiders position. The debate is about how the individual position themselves in the study. Often the discussion is put into term of “emic” and “etic”. The outsider’s approach is to produce a completely informative description or productions of sound‚ behavior‚ beliefs. This is the emic or phonemic approach. The insider’s approach is the observer being involved in the activities

Problems and Solutions 1 CHAPTER 1—Problems 1.1 Problems on Bonds Exercise 1.1 On 12/04/01‚ consider a fixed-coupon bond whose features are the following: • face value: $1‚000 coupon rate: 8% • coupon frequency: semiannual • maturity: 05/06/04 • What are the future cash flows delivered by this bond? Solution 1.1 1. The coupon cash flow is equal to $40 8% × $1‚000 = $40 2 It is delivered on the following future dates: 05/06/02‚ 11/06/02‚ 05/06/03‚ 11/06/03 and 05/06/04. The redemption value

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Rotor dynamics is the study of rotating machines and has a very important part to play throughout the modern industrial world. Rotating machinery is used in many applications such as Turbo machinery‚ Power stations‚ Machine tools‚ Medical equipment‚ etc. Failure of machinery in applications such as aero engines‚ turbo-machines‚ space vehicles‚ etc. creates enormous repair costs and more importunately may put human life in danger. Rotor dynamics is a collective terms for

submitted to the rule of a single sceptre and whose boundaries were‚ in any case‚ largely undetermined; the brilliant carmine stretched to the southernmost point‚ where the words‚ "Cape of Good Hope‚" were set out in large black letters.6 The interpolation of a spurious space between known spaces serves here as the opening wedge for a total assimilation of the known to the spurious: Africa is engulfed by the zone. A third strategy is superimposition. Here two familiar spaces are placed one on top

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Aim of the Thesis This project presents an interactive algorithm to automatically segment out a person’s face from a given image that consists of a head-and-shoulders view of the person and a complex background scene. The method involves a fast‚ reliable‚ and effective algorithm that exploits the spatial distribution characteristics of human skin color. To fulfill this aim‚ the following objectives are carried out: 1. Implement different types of image segmentations. 2. A

DFI 501: FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT TIME VALUE OF MONEY Amortizing a Loan An important application of discounting and compounding concepts is in determining the payments required for an installment – type loan. The distinguishing features of this loan is that it is repaid in equal periodic (monthly‚ quarterly‚ semiannually or annually) payments that include both interest and principal. Such arrangements are prevalent in mortgage loans‚ auto loans‚ consumer loans etc. Amortization
