Effects of Viewing Violent Electronic Products on Children’s Psychological Development

Many years of research have shown that media exposure and violent TV shows are two dangerous factors that might lead to aggressive behavior in kids. Because television was the most common media that youngsters were exposed to, electronic gadgets were selected for the study. Violence is on the rise and fresh cartoons are produced by the media on a regular basis. As science and technology advance, children are interacting with technological products like animated movies more and more. In order to ascertain the impact of violent TV programs on children's psychological development—specifically, violence, prosocial conduct, social adjustment, and peer relationships—this study analyzes the body of research on the subject. Moreover, the progress of science and technology has brought children closer and closer to electronic products such as movie animation, and we need to study the impact of these increasing things on children in order to better nurture future human beings. Giving guidance to various groups of people at the end of the paper. The purpose of this article is to reveal the harmfulness of violent media and television programs to children and to warn people in order to better protect the designated population in the future.

The Study of Render Farm Image Classification Using Deep Neural Network

Rendering on the making of movie animation is a process of combining the imagination of animators and artistic creativity by turning the graphic display into millions of moving images. To perform the rendering process, the render farm is used, which is a combination of a group of high-performance computers (super-computers) commonly referred to as Computer Generated Imager. Throughout this time, the render artist spends a considerable plenty of time on doing image analysis from render farms manually. Reflecting on that, the study presented in this paper propose a deep learning method can separate images of the results of render farms more quickly and accurately. The technique proposed in this study is the classification of approved or revised images as the results of the render farm machine by using Deep Neural Network (DNN) technique. To verify the DNN that best fits the dataset, experiments were carried out on several layer depths and adjustment of epoch. In terms of treatment of the dataset, the experiment scenario selected was percentage and cross validation. The best performance in the experiment results is provided by layer depth configuration of 10, epoch value 100. The configuration provides the value of accuracy, precision and recall of 90%, 96% and 92% respectively.

Text Mining of Movie Animation User Comments and Video Artwork Recommendation Based on Machine Learning

Video artworks are closely linked with the development of contemporary technology. Therefore, it is widely used in various fields of social life. Video art has become one of the main media forms of contemporary art. In the practice of art teaching, how to combine the existing content of traditional art teaching with video technology and how to understand the inner connection between traditional aesthetics and technological aesthetics have become issues that workers in the new era must think about and pay attention to. As a typical case of influencing works of art, movie animation is loved by the majority of young people. In order to quantify the application effect of machine learning in video art and film animation text mining, this paper conducts prediction research and analysis on several main aspects of color features involved in film animation. By introducing three typical machine learning methods, this paper analyzes the distribution law of the color features of film animation from the perspective of machine learning and its influence on artistic texts. Specifically, the paper uses machine learning methods as a carrier to predict the performance of multiple main modules of color features in movie animation. The prediction results show that the square of the correlation coefficient corresponding to the extreme learning machine is the largest, and the root mean square error, the mean absolute percentage error, and the median absolute error are the smallest, which shows that the extreme learning machine has the best prediction effect. Therefore, it corresponds to the best prediction. In addition, the comparison between the predicted data and the measured data shows that the relationship between the two is approximately a linear function of y = x. At the same time, the fitting calculation shows that the predicted data corresponding to the two main modules of the main color and the color structure in the color feature exhibit a good functional relationship of polynomial functions.

IMU-Based Estimation of Lower Limb Motion Trajectory With Graph Convolution Network

In recent years, the motion capture system has received a lot of attention because of its wide application, such as movie animation, sport and medical applications. In the field of rehabilitation, motion capture systems are often used to collect the motion information of the patient when he/she is performing rehabilitation tasks. It can be used to quantify the patient’s rehabilitation effectiveness and provide the physician with more objective data as a reference. Using inertial sensors is one of motion capture methods. However, the major challenge to reconstruct accurate human posture with sensor measurements are signal noise, bias and inaccurate gyroscope estimation during long-term wearing. Based on the reason mentioned above, this paper proposes a graph convolutional network (GCN)-based deep learning architecture that uses effective information collected by inertial sensors to predict a sequence of position of each joint of a human’s lower limbs in the 3D space throughout the entire motion. Such motion prediction result based on the deep learning model is to reduce the joint’s tracking error relying only on direct calculations based on measurements of inertial sensors. In the final experiment, the lower limb motion trajectory during walking is used to verify that the method proposed in this work can actually outperform the traditional ones as just mentioned by achieving 2.9 mm drop in mean per joint position error (MPJPE) in 3.6M dataset, resulting in 12.2 mm in MPJPE, and mitigate the drift in real scenario. In our future work, we plan to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and system for rehabilitation through clinical studies.

Retracted] 3D Film Animation Image Acquisition and Feature Processing Based on the Latest Virtual Reconstruction Technology

In this paper, the latest virtual reconstruction technology is used to conduct in‐depth research on 3D movie animation image acquisition and feature processing. This paper firstly proposes a time‐division multiplexing method based on subpixel multiplexing technology to improve the resolution of integrated imaging reconstruction images. By studying the degradation effect of the reconstruction process of the 3D integrated imaging system, it is proposed to improve the display resolution by increasing the pixel point information of fixed display array units. According to the subpixel multiplexing, an algorithm to realize the reuse of pixel point information of 3D scene element image gets the element image array with new information; then, through the high frame rate light emitting diode (LED) large screen fast output of the element image array, the human eye temporary retention effect is used, so that this group of element image array information go through a plane display, to increase the limited display array information capacity thus improving the reconstructed image. In this way, the information capacity of the finite display array is increased and the display resolution of the reconstructed image is improved. In this paper, we first use the classification algorithm to determine the gender and expression attributes of the face in the input image and filter the corresponding 3D face data subset in the database according to the gender and expression attributes, then use the sparse representation theory to filter the prototype face like the target face in the data subset, then use the filtered prototype face samples to construct the sparse deformation model, and finally use the target faces. Finally, the target 3D face is reconstructed using the feature points of the target face for model matching. The experimental results show that the algorithm reconstructs faces with high realism and accuracy, and the algorithm can reconstruct expression faces.

MAPS, Malaysia Company

MAPS Perak (Movie Animation Park Studio of Perak) is a theme park in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia which was created from a joint venture between Perak Corporation Berhad and the Sanderson Group. It was originally planned to be opened in 2015, but the opening date was delayed to 26 June 2017. The theme park is the first fully animation-based theme park in Asia which contains attractions based on animations such as DreamWorks Animation and The Smurfs and was built at the cost of RM520 million. It houses both international and homegrown (Malaysian) Intellectual Properties including DreamWorks characters, The Smurfs and BoBoiBoy and have more than 40 attractions in six themed zones. This is the first theme park in Malaysia that portray or using local animation as the theme of the amusement park. The purpose of the project is to discuss the problems faced by the Movies Animation Park Studios (MAPS) Perak from different perspectives such as financially, marketing and politics. This project also aims to suggest a solution to Movies Animation Park Studios (MAPS) Perak regarding these problems. Knowing and understanding the wider what is the cause of the company facing these problems. And also gives pro and cons about each decision make by this company when the company facing the problem. The methodology that we will use in this research is the primary method and secondary method. The primary method is when the data we collected directly from the owner or the owns of the data. This is different from the secondary method, which is the secondary method we get the data from the other resources which are carried out by other people. An example primary method by interviewing the manager and the staff of MAPS to make some surveys for our research. We do this interview by phone. Example of the secondary method is by doing research by collecting the data from their website and the other information. For our company cases, the problems with MAPS, Perak Malaysia are their awareness is low which means their marketing is not strategic in terms of costs and do not give high impact to the sales. Moreover, the price ticket that they offer for a customer is very expensive and did not worth the money and achieve customer expectations. The games in the theme park are not satisfying with. So the price is not a great deal to attract the outsider. Besides, this company also have faced the political issue which is Malaysia’s government has advice MAPS to close down this theme park because they have too much liability and they couldn’t afford it.

1960년대 한국단편애니메이션 연구 - 국립영화제작소 문화영화 중 애니메이션에 관하여

서구 유럽 및 일본애니메이션에 비해 짧은 역사를 지닌 한국 애니메이션은 1950년대 후반 광고애니메이션과 문화영화의 일환으로 제작된 비상업용 단편애니메이션으로 출발하였다. 1960년대 영화법과 문화정책이 투영된 문화영화 애니메이션은 한국애니메이션의 역사에서 거의 언급되지 않고 있지만, 극장용 장편애니메이션 이전에 제작된 귀중한 문화 창작물이다. 특히 15초 내외의 짧은 CF애니메이션에 비해 4분에서 10분 내외의 단편애니메이션으로 그 당시 한국애니메이션의 수준을 가늠할 수 있는 사료적 가치가 있는 작품들이다. 1960년대에 20여편의 단편애니메이션이 제작 되었으며, 주로 근대화 정책추진과정에서 국민들을 계몽하기 위한 교육 내용을 담고 있다. 국립영화제작소에서 문화영화로 제작된 단편애니메이션은 셀을 활용한 카툰애니메이션 이외에도 페이퍼애니메이션, 퍼핏애니메이션도 제작되었다. 이러한 배경에서 본 논문은 1960년대에 국립영화제작소에서 제작된 단편애니메이션에 주목해보고자 한다. CF 이외에 초기 단편애니메이션의 연구가 거의 없는 상태에서 작품의 발굴과 분석은 의미 있는 일이라 생각하며, 이 창작과정에 참여했던 박영일감독, 한성학감독, 정도빈감독, 신동헌감독, 넬슨신감독 등이 이후 극장용 애니메이션 감독으로 활동하였기에 그 작품에 대한 분석은 한국애니메이션을 이해하는 중요한 기반 연구가 될 것이라고 본다. 논문에서는 국립영화제작소 창설의 시대적 상황 및 1960년대 국립영화제작소에서 창작된 단편애니메이션 중 감독 등 참여인력을 확인할 수 있는 10편의 작품을 중심으로 서사적 의미와 조형적 특징을 연구해보고자 한다. 이를 통해 그간 한국애니메이션역사 연구에서 간과된 비상업적 단편애니메이션에 대한 고찰과 향후 한국애니메이션사에 대한 보다 풍부한 연구가 진행되는 단초를 마련해보고자 한다. The Korean animation that has relatively short history compared to the Western Europe and Japan's animation started out from the non-commercial short-piece animation produced as part of advertisement animation and culture movie in the later part of 1950s. In 1960s, the culture movie animation reflecting for the Movie Act and cultural policies has hardly been mentioned in the history of Korean animation, but they are the precious cultural work produced prior to the theatrical long-piece animation. In particular, compared to the 15-second short CF animation, the short-piece animations are ranging for 4 minutes to 10 minutes as the work pieces with the historic value to measure the level of the Korean animation at that time. in 1960s, approximately 20 short-piece animation works were produced and they contained the educational contents to enlighten general public in the process of modernization policy. Those short-piece animations produced in cultural movie at the National Film Production Center of Korea had been produced not only in cell-facilitating cartoon animation, but also in paper animation and puppet animation. In this background, this thesis takes a close look to the short-piece animation works produced in the National Film Production Center of Korea in 1960s. While there was almost no studies of early short-piece animation other than CF works, it is meaningful to discover and analyze the works, and, Director Park Young-il, Director Han Sung-hak, Director Jung Do-bin, Director Shin Dong-hyun, Director Nelson Shin and others participated in the creative work process have worked as the animation directors for theater that the analysis on the works would be considered as important fundamental studies to understand the Korean animation. Under this thesis, it is intended to study the historic implication and formative characteristics around some 10 work pieces to affirm participating personnel, including directors, for the short-piece animation created by the National Film Production Center of Korea as well as the situation of time to launch the National Film Production Center of Korea in 1960s. Through this effort, it is intended to come up with the starting point to process enriched researches on non-commercial short-piece animation as well as contemplation on the Korean animation history that have been neglected in the study of the Korean animation history through such effort.

A Natural Conversational Virtual Human with Multimodal Dialog System

The making of virtual human character to be realistic and credible in real time automated dialog animation system is necessary. This kind of animation carries importance elements for many applications such as games, virtual agents and movie animations. It is also considered important for applications which require interaction between human and computer. However, for this purpose, it is compulsory that the machine should have sufficient intelligence for recognizing and synthesizing human voices. As one of the most vital interaction method between human and machine, speech has recently received significant attention, especially in avatar research innovation. One of the challenges is to create precise lip movements of the avatar and synchronize it with a recorded audio. This paper specifically introduces the innovative concept of multimodal dialog systems of the virtual character and focuses the output part of such systems. More specifically, its focus is on behavior planning and developing the data control languages (DCL).

Cartoon animation involvement and destination image

In tourism study, the notion of movie-induced tourism is well acknowledged. However, the previous relative researches have only dealt with live-action movie or drama, but there has been no research for cartoon animation. Live-action movie and cartoon animation is different in terms of reality. Thus, this study aims to extend the notion of movie induced tourism to cartoon animation. After careful reviewing of relative literatures, a hypothetical model which consists of the construct of cartoon animation involvement, cognitive image components, affective image components, and desire to visit was proposed. The target population of this study was Taiwanese young adults. Total 452 questionnaires were collected, and 304 samples were valid (67%). The data was analyzed by SPSS12.0 and AMOS 6.0. The results of the analysis showed the higher cartoon animation involvement, more favorable cognitiveand affective image of Japan, and the higher desire to visit Japan.

A palaeobiologist's guide to 'virtual' micro-CT preparation

This paper provides a brief but comprehensive guide to creating, preparing and dissecting a ‘virtual’ fossil, using a worked example to demonstrate some standard data processing techniques. Computed tomography (CT) is a 3D imaging modality for producing ‘virtual’ models of an object on a computer. In the last decade, CT technology has greatly improved, allowing bigger and denser objects to be scanned increasingly rapidly. The technique has now reached a stage where systems can facilitate large-scale, non-destructive comparative studies of extinct fossils and their living relatives. Consequently the main limiting factor in CT-based analyses is no longer scanning, but the hurdles of data processing (see disclaimer). The latter comprises the techniques required to convert a 3D CT volume (stack of digital slices) into a virtual image of the fossil that can be prepared (separated) from the matrix and ‘dissected’ into its anatomical parts. This technique can be applied to specimens or part of specimens embedded in the rock matrix that until now have been otherwise impossible to visualise. This paper presents a suggested workflow explaining the steps required, using as example a fossil tooth of Sphenacanthus hybodoides (Egerton), a shark from the Late Carboniferous of England. The original NHMUK copyrighted CT slice stack can be downloaded for practice of the described techniques, which include segmentation, rendering, movie animation, stereo-anaglyphy, data storage and dissemination. Fragile, rare specimens and type materials in university and museum collections can therefore be virtually processed for a variety of purposes, including virtual loans, website illustrations, publications and digital collections. Micro-CT and other 3D imaging techniques are increasingly utilized to facilitate data sharing among scientists and on education and outreach projects. Hence there is the potential to usher in a new era of global scientific collaboration and public communication using specimens in museum collections.

Experimental studies of the effect of functional spacers to annular flow in subchannels of a BWR fuel element

For the prediction of dryout in fuel elements of boiling water reactors, the dynamic behavior of the water film covering the fuel rod has to be understood. This paper provides high resolved experimental data of the liquid film and gives insight into the dynamic film behavior. The experiments of this work were conducted in a vertical channel representing a pair of neighboring subchannels of a BWR fuel rod bundle. Air and water at ambient pressure and temperature are used as model fluids, creating an annular flow in the test section. The influence of different functional spacer shapes on the liquid film has been studied. The heart of the instrumentation is a liquid film sensor (LFS), which measures the film thickness distribution around a half cylinder with a matrix of 64 × 16 measuring points with a time resolution of 10,000 frames per second and a spatial resolution of 2 mm × 2 mm. The high resolution allows for a visualization of the dynamic liquid film as a movie animation. Principals of the dynamic behavior of the liquid film are observed. The time-averaged film thickness distributions show that the spacers structure the liquid film significantly. The gaseous phase is accelerated due to the cross-section blockage caused by the spacer. This leads to a local thinning of the liquid film downstream of the spacer. Two statistical evaluation methods are presented to determine different dynamic wave properties: The wave velocity as function of the wave height, the traveling path of the waves and the location of wave separation and merge events. The first evaluation method shows that big waves move generally faster than small waves. The analysis further shows wave acceleration in close proximity of the spacer with subsequent deceleration further downstream. Analyzing the wave as a two-dimensional entity it can be seen that the wave paths are clearly structured by the spacer and hence do not travel circumferentially around the fuel rod. Wave separation and merge has a higher occurrence probability in the subchannel gap, if there is no spacer present. With spacer the merge and separation locations are only found along the main flow paths of the waves.

Ion acceleration with ultra-thin foils using elliptically polarized laser pulses

We present theoretical considerations on the process of ion acceleration with ultra-thin foils irradiated by elliptically polarized, highly intense laser pulses. Very recently the radiation pressure acceleration regime was predicted where mono-energetic ion bunches can be produced with high efficiencies (Klimo et al 2008 Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 11 031301; Robinson et al 2008 New J. Phys. 10 013021). We have studied the process by means of 1D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations and analytical models and have considered effects of areal mass density of the target and laser ellipticity on the ion acceleration process. For certain target densities and laser parameters the optimum target thickness has been extracted. Peaked ion spectra are found for ellipticity beyond a threshold value of about 0.7. Here, we highlight the drastic difference between linear and circular polarization by movie animations.

Standardizing Storage Clusters

Data-intensive applications such as data mining, movie animation, oil and gas exploration, and weather modeling generate and process huge amounts of data. File-data access throughput is critical for good performance. To scale well, these HPC (high-performance computing) applications distribute their computation among numerous client machines. HPC clusters can range from hundreds to thousands of clients with aggregate I/O demands ranging into the tens of gigabytes per second.

X3d2pov. Traductor of X3D to POV-Ray

High-quality and low-quality interactive graphics represent two different approaches to computer graphics' 3D object representation. The former is mainly used to produce high computational cost movie animation. The latter is used for producing interactive scenes as part of virtual reality environments. Many file format specifications have appeared to satisfy underlying model needs; POV-ray (persistence of vision) is an open source specification for rendering photorealistic images with the ray tracer algorithm and X3D (extendable 3D) as the VRML successor standard for producing web virtual-reality environments written in XML. X3d2pov has been introduced to render high-quality images from an X3D scene specification; it is a grammar translator tool from X3D code to POV-ray code.
