faceplate


(1) Any type of metal or plastic plate designed to fit over a device or computer component to enhance the device’s functionality or its looks. Cellphones, iPods and even handheld game devices are types consumer electronics that consumers can purchase faceplates for. These faceplates, usually snap on plates, can change the way the device looks, enabling consumers to change the design to better suit their own tastes and personalities.

  • Motif

    A set of user interface guidelines created by the Open Software Foundation (www.opengroup.org) that specify how an application should look and feel, covering issues like the placement of title bars and menus. It is used on more than 200 hardware and software platforms and has become the standard graphical user interface (GUI ) for UNIX.

  • motion-JPEG

    JPEG stands for the Joint Photographic Experts Group standard, a standard for storing and compressing digital images. Motion-JPEG extends this standard by supporting videos. In motion-JPEG, each frame in the video is stored with the JPEG format.

  • motion compensation and prediction

    In video editing motion compensation provides a prediction for the macroblock. When prediction is applied, the DCT is applied to conform to the prediction errors instead of to image samples. Good motion compensation prediction will result in a lower bit rate and still maintain decent quality. Also called motion compensated prediction.

  • motion detection

    In video surveillance, motion detection refers to the capability of the surveillance system to detect motion and capture the events. Motion detection is usually a software-based monitoring algorithm which, when it detects motions will signal the surveillance camera to begin capturing the event. Also called activity detection. An advanced motion detection surveillance system can analyze […]

  • motion estimation

    In video editing motion estimation is a type of video compression scheme. The motion estimation process is done by the coder to find the motion vector pointing to the best prediction macroblock in a reference frame or field. For compression redundancy between adjacent frames can be exploited where a frame is selected as a reference […]
