1. What is Animation?
Animation is the process of creating the illusion of motion by displaying a rapid
sequence of images or frames, each showing a slightly different position of characters
or objects.
2. Define Multimedia big data computing.
Multimedia Big Data Computing is the new topic that focus on all aspects of
distributed computing systems that enable massive scale image and video analytics.
3. Differentiate virtual reality and augumented reality
It requires powerful hardware and software to create It requires relatively simple technology for
a realistic experience. the creation.
Examples: PlayStation VR, Samsung Gear VR, and Examples: Pokemon GO, Google Maps
HTC Vive. AR, and IKEA App.

i)2D Animation
2D animation is a traditional animation technique where characters and scenes are created in
a two-dimensional (flat) space. This method involves creating images that move in a
sequence to give the illusion of motion, much like a flipbook. Here's a closer look at the
process:
1. Concept and Storyboarding: The initial step involves developing the storyline and
creating storyboards, which are rough sketches outlining the sequence of events and
major scenes.
2. Character and Scene Design: Designing the characters, backgrounds, and other
visual elements in a 2D space. This includes creating detailed character sheets that
showcase various poses and expressions.
3. Drawing Keyframes: Artists draw the keyframes, which are the main frames that
define the starting and ending points of any significant movement.
4. In-betweening (Tweening): The process of creating the intermediate frames between
keyframes to ensure smooth motion. Traditionally, these frames were drawn by hand,
but modern software can automate much of this work.
5. Timing and Animation: Adjusting the timing to ensure that movements look natural
and fluid. This can involve fine-tuning the spacing of the frames and the speed of
transitions.
6. Coloring and Inking: Adding color and fine details to the characters and
backgrounds, either by hand or using digital tools.
7. Compositing and Finalization: Combining all elements into final scenes, adding
sound, music, and special effects to complete the animation.
2.5D animation, also known as pseudo-3D or parallax scrolling, is a technique that gives the
illusion of depth and three-dimensionality while using predominantly 2D elements. It's a
blend between 2D and 3D animation, creating a more immersive experience without the
complexity of full 3D animation.
Layering: Different elements of the scene, like characters, backgrounds, and objects,
are placed on separate layers.
Depth and Parallax Effect: By moving these layers at different speeds, an illusion of
depth is created. For example, background layers move slower than foreground layers,
mimicking the way objects appear to move in the real world when viewed from a
moving perspective.
Lighting and Shadows: Adding subtle lighting and shadow effects can enhance the
3D illusion, making flat images appear to have volume and depth.
2.5D animation is popular in video games, motion graphics, and some film techniques. It
allows creators to achieve a richer visual experience while maintaining a simpler and more
efficient production process compared to full 3D animation.

v) Character Rigging
The basic principles of animation are a set of foundational guidelines that help create
lifelike and compelling animations.
Purpose: Ensures characters feel like they have weight and volume.
Application: Understanding the basics of drawing and anatomy to create lifelike
characters.
12. Appeal:
These principles are the backbone of creating animations that are not only realistic but also
entertaining and emotionally engaging.
Content-based retrieval (CBR) from digital libraries involves searching and retrieving
multimedia content—such as images, videos, and audio—based on the actual content of the
files rather than metadata or keywords. This method analyzes the intrinsic properties of the
content itself to find matches.
How It Works:
1. Feature Extraction: The system extracts features from the content, such as color
histograms, texture patterns, shapes, or audio frequencies.
2. Indexing: These features are indexed in a database, creating a searchable repository.
3. Querying: When a user submits a query (e.g., an image or a sample audio clip), the
system extracts features from the query and compares them to the indexed features.
4. Matching: The system retrieves content that has similar features to the query.
Color Histogram: Counts the number of pixels of each color in the image.
Color Layout: Represents the distribution of colors in the image.
Texture Analysis: Analyzes patterns and textures within the image.
Object Models: Identifies and models objects within the image.
When a user uploads an image to search for similar images in the database, C-BIRD extracts
these features from the query image and compares them to the indexed images, retrieving
those that are most similar.
Applications:
Content-based retrieval is widely used in digital libraries, online image repositories, and
multimedia databases
Multimedia big data refers to the massive, complex, and heterogeneous data generated
from multimedia sources such as text, audio, images, and videos.
Social Networks
Social networks like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter generate vast amounts of multimedia
content daily. Big data analytics is used to extract insights from this content, enabling
features like:
Smartphones
Smartphones are ubiquitous and generate a significant amount of multimedia data through
photos, videos, and apps. This data is used for:
Surveillance
Surveillance systems, including security cameras and body cams, produce continuous streams
of video data. Big data analytics helps in:
i)cloud infrastructure
Cloud infrastructure refers to the hardware and software components that make up the cloud,
enabling cloud computing services. It includes everything from servers and storage to
networking and virtualization technologies. Here’s a breakdown of the key components:
1. Servers: Powerful computers that provide computational power and storage. They are
distributed across multiple data centers.
2. Storage: Persistent data storage solutions that store data across various devices and
locations.
3. Networking: Equipment like routers, switches, and load balancers that manage data
traffic and connectivity between servers and storage.
4. Virtualization: Technology that abstracts physical hardware, allowing multiple
virtual machines to run on a single physical server.
5. Management Software
Cloud service data models refer to the structured formats and relationships used to organize
and manage data within cloud services. These models are essential for efficiently storing,
retrieving, and processing data in cloud environments. Here are the three primary cloud
service models:
PaaS offers a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without
dealing with the underlying infrastructure. It includes:
SaaS delivers software applications over the internet, on a subscription basis. It includes:
Cloud service deployment models define how cloud services are made available to users.
They vary based on factors like ownership, accessibility, and how they are managed. Here are
the main cloud service deployment models:
1. Public Cloud
Definition: Services are delivered over the public internet and shared across multiple
organizations. Characteristics:
2. Private Cloud
3. Hybrid Cloud
Definition: Combines public and private clouds, allowing data and applications to be shared
between them. Characteristics:
4. Community Cloud
Definition: Services are shared by several organizations with common needs or goals.
Characteristics:
Ownership: Managed and used by a group of organizations with shared interests.
Access: Accessible only to the community members.
Cost: Costs are distributed among the organizations. Examples: Government
agencies sharing infrastructure for compliance and security.
