DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED IMAGE TRANSFER SYSTEM IN A WIDE AREA NETWORK

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Computer imaging can be applied in different ways like technical image processing, medical imaging, remote sensing graphic art, desktop publishing, document imaging, digital photography industrial inspection and video process and consumer application. The imaging technology, image processing modules is designed for image analysis and machine vision application such as industrial inspection and optical character recognition. The hope of thousand of application developers and commercial software suppliers is to be able to write and compile code once and run it or any of target hardware platform. A lot of synergistic things have happened in the internet and enterprises in the past few, more than merely a series of software products and extents has shown how fast the Java technology has grown. The technology is a major computing environment now, “a river that has flood his bank” and is now crossing just about everywhere across industries and enterprise. Coupled with the power of networking, the visual platform is helping computer users to do many things that are unimaginable. For example user can securely access their personal information and application when they are far away from office by using any computer that is connected to be application from a mobile phone based on the visual platform. The technology will soon be integrated into many aspects of life; incentive internet services will be available not only on personal computers but also on appliances through out the household and on the road. Think home banking, internet, shopping, international games, access to business system, away from bark even personnel ATM that let s one download funds into smart cards via the phone.
