High Dynamic Range Imaging: Acquisition, Display, and Image-

High Dynamic Range Imaging: Acquisition, Display, and Image-




Morgan Kaufmann (August 24, 2005) | ISBN: 0125852630 | PDF | 32 Mb | 520 pages

High dynamic range imaging produces images with a much greater range of light and color than conventional imaging. The effect is stunning, as great as the difference between black-and-white and color television. High Dynamic Range Imaging is the first book to describe this exciting new field that is transforming the media and entertainment industries. Written by the foremost researchers in HDRI, it will explain and define this new technology for anyone who works with images, whether it is for computer graphics, film, video, photography, or lighting design.

Platinum Plan 350 from Tata Indicom

Tata Indicom Logo

Platinum Plan 350 is a new full value postpaid plan from Tata Indicom. For a monthly rental of Rs 350, it provides Rs. 350 worth of free talktime for making calls to any local or STD numbers.

Once, the user has reached the threshold limit of free calling, every additional local call will be charged at 50p/min and STD calls at Re 1/min. One thing that the plan lacks is that it does not provide any free SMS’s, but considering Tata Indicom’s cheap SMS rates, that wouldn’t be an issue here.

MTNL with MobShare.in bring MTNL LIVE

MTNL always used to carry this ‘government-owned operator’ image with itself thanks to the limited services that were available to its users. But now, the operator is trying to do away with that image by launching with new services. This week it’s MTNL Live, a live Photo Sharing Service. Here are some of your queries answered:

Function: To store and share photos (with your photos) clicked from your phone on the space provided.

Cost: The photos are uploaded through MMS and the cost is Rs. 2 plus the data transfer charges. For browsing photos, the cost is 1paise per KB.

How to activate: Send a SMS to 55563 with the phone numbers of the friends you want to share your photos with.

How to upload: Send your MMS to me@mobshare.in and the photo would be uploaded.

We say: The service is quite good considering the leap MTNL has taken. The rates to surf these photos is quite cheap, but given the size of the images that would be uploaded, this one can be a bit misleading. Overall, we liked the idea.
