The Amazing Viewing Experience

Television has become the most powerful visual and audio medium of entertainment in the world. LCD TV is a special kind of TV that utilizes LCD technology to provide sharper and better picture. These TVs gained popularity in the early 2000s. When LCD TVs were first introduced, it was believed that LCD technology would not be able to compete with the existing plasma technology, and it was meant only for the smaller sized flat-panel televisions. However, with improvements in technology, larger and bigger LCD screens are being produced by manufacturers like Sharp, Samsung, Sony, LG, Philips and a lot. These LCD TVs are generally manufactured in three different varieties like standard definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED) and high definition (HD) Televisions. The quality of images reproduced by it is exceptional. In addition, LCD TVs are also energy efficient compared to the CRT TVs. LCD TVs are lighter and thinner than CRTs and consumer less power over time. LG, a maker of LCD televisions, manufactures millions of both standard-definition and high-definition sets each year. LG is counted amongst the top electronic companies and the LG LCD TV is one of the most popular of the LCD Television available in the market.

Design :

LG LCD TVs come with a very eye catching design to suit the personality of an individual. The looks are neat and sober to earn great compliments from the spectators even when it is not in operation.

With their sleek, clean styling, LG LCD TVs integrate beautifully with the design of the home. LG LCD Tv's  are beautifully designed which comes with glossy screen and smooth bezel to add elegance to its outer look. 

Features :

LG LCD TVs have an IPS panel which shows clear and vivid images along with a color production which remains consistent from any angle. Copper wiring is used so that the improved and sharper image quality can be observed. There is no question of blurred pictures in LG LCD TVs. It is embedded with a TruMotion 200Hz technology that provides clear and blur-free pictures even while watching sports or any pictures in motion. The background noise of LG LCD TVs can be adjusted along with the human voice so that one can enjoy the program to the maximum. The viewers can hear with perfect clarity from wherever they are sitting because of the hidden speakers which produce great sound.

Energy Efficient:

The LG LCD TVs are designed to be energy efficient. It uses only that much energy that is required. This is possible because of a sensor which can adjust the image colors and brightness according to the viewing area. LCD TVs from LG are giving a tough competition to other brands due to their superior picture quality, energy efficiency and stylish designs. While buying a LG LCD Television, one is sure of getting the maximum home entertainment. LG delivers unmatched quality. The quality of the picture, as well as that of the sound delivered by LG is among the finest in the industry.

Morphing is a Special effect in motion pictures and animation that changes (or morphs) one image to another through a seamless transition. Most often it is used to depict one person turning into another. Morphing is probably most noticeably used to produce incredible special effects in the entertainment industry.

It is also “an animation technique that allows you to dynamically blend two still images, creating a sequence of in-between pictures that, when played in Quick Time, metamorphoses the first image into the second.”

The word morph derives from the word metamorphosis meaning to change shape, appearance or form. Basically, a morph consists of one image changing its shape over time until it becomes another image.

Morphing was invented and first used by Industrial Light and Magic. The original author of the first morphing algorithm is Douglas B. Smythe.

SIGINIFICANCE OF MORPHING:

Animation techniques are constantly increasing in quality and creativity. Because consumers demand better quality special effects and effects that will captivate and engage themselves grows profoundly.

Multimedia users and entertainment seekers are no longer satisfied with animation, they desire fancier transitions and animation to amaze them and keep them interested in the product.

Morphing has been one way to satisfy consumers need to be entertained, impressed, and amazed by the final product.

Example: "Megan Fox as Wonder Women".

MORPHING TECHNIQUES:

Image morphing techniques can be classified into two categories such as mesh-based and feature-based methods in terms of their ways for specifying features.

1) In mesh-based methods, the features on an image are specified by a non uniform mesh.

2) In Feature-based methods specify the features with a set of points or line segments.

One way of achieving the morphing effect is to transform one image into another by creating a cross-dissolve between them.

A second way to achieve morphing is feature interpolation, which is performed by combining warps with the color interpolation.

MAJOR USES:

Morphing can be used as a "visual effect".

Morphing is a powerful tool that can enhance many multimedia projects such as presentations, education, electronic book illustrations, and computer-based training.

The first commercial use of morphing was in a sequence in the movie Willow. Since then, morphing has been widely used. Among the more memorable morphing sequences are those found in Michael Jackson's ``Black or White'' video, and in the movie “Terminator2”.

DIFFERENT SOFTWARE'S USED FOR CREATING MORPHING:

Morpher,MorphInk 2.0, Blender 2.12 , WinMorph, MorphMan 2.01,MorphMan 2000

MorphWizard, Morphology 101 , PhotoMorph 2 , Video Craft 3.0etc..

CONCLUSION:

In conclusion, morphing is an image processing technique used for the metamorphosis of one image to another. This technique can be performed in several different ways. The first is by creating a cross- dissolve between the images and the second is by using feature interpolation. There are a variety of software products such as MorphMan, WinMorph, Tracer, etc.

Morphing is used far more heavily today than ever before. In years past, effects were obvious, which led to their overuse. Now, morphing effects are most often designed to be seamless and invisible to the eye.
