Image File Extension with pros and cons all you need to know


Image Extensions are basically mean to systematically storing digital images. there are large number of image file type and it would be up hill to decide which image format is more accurate or suitable. Any type of the graphic which you see on your screens or online is an image file.
There are different variety of image format and each format is designed for specific purpose. that is really important to use the correct image format means your design which show the picture accurate as you preconceived. if you choose the wrong format so definitely you will receive poor image or bad effect of web can takes time while downloading or there can be a chance that the graphics which you used is invisible on screen. so it is really important to use the correct image format there are alot of image format some of them are following:

  • JPEG
  • GIF
  • PNG
  • RAW
  • TIFF
JPEG 
Abbreviation: Joint Photo Graphic Expert Group
JPEG  is most widely used image file format. JPEG file format is mostly used in digital cameras and web pages because it audaciously compressed the image or data to be very smaller in the file. JPEG image format is use when the the small file size is more important than maximum quality of image. 
JPEG also contains the data about the data such as that depicts the content of the file like color space, color profile, image dimension information. by using JPEG file format on computer it opens any program in computer that supports image. 

JPEG file are basically lossy which means that much of the information is lost from the original picture when you once save it in a JPEG file format.the color of JPEG image is not as sharp as original image.
Pros and Cons of JPEG
pros:
  • it allows 24 bit colors upto 24 million colors.
  • it allows rich and bright color 
  • its best quality is that it is compatible with most of the operating systems.
Cons
  • it doesn't allows the animations.
  • it can't allows the transparency.
  • it relinquishes a lot of data.

GIF
Abbreviation: Graphic Interchange Format
GIF  is a image file extension which allows the animated graphic file. GIF is the second most widely used file extension after JPEG. GIF compresses images in two ways first of all it minimize the number of colors into the rich colors thus minimizing the numbers of bits per pixel than, seconly GIF image format replace the multiple occurring pattern so rather than storing five time of any color it stores only once.
the algorithm which is use by GIF is LZW compression algorithm which is owned by the unisys. GIF image format is suitable for the graphics, diagram representation, cartoonist representation to design logos. when GIF image is loaded in the browser it sounds bit blurry and not clear colors but as soon as the data loaded the image becomes clearer.
pros and cons of GIF image Format
pros
  • its amazing extension for image having limited colors and allows the flat region of the colors.
  • this extension is considered as ideal for the small animations.
  • it is considered as the best for for the icons that represent with the small colors.
  • it contains 256 colors in it.
Cons
  • it is considered as the one of the oldest image format.
  • it contain the bigger file size as compared to the PNG image format

PNG
Abbreviation: Portable Network Graphic
it is considered as the one of the latest image file extension which was publicly launched in 1996. 
it is significantly designed for the web. the eye catch factor of portable network graphics is that it uses 24 bit RGB color image which, is use in the icons, logos, flat area. one of the more quality about PNG which attracts the people is its transparency.
The aim on the basis of PNG was introduced is that it aimed to replace the GIF image file format that doesn't involves the patent licence. with the addition of 24 bit RGB image format it allows the grey scale image format as well, it doesn't supports CMYK clolor space and it never uses in print graphics.
Pros
  • PNG file format allows the massive color, PNG 8 allows the 256 colors and PNG 24 allows the 16.7 million colors.
  • it allows the transparency which is much better than GIF image file format.
  • its format is suitable for the intermediate version storage. the best thing is when you again safe the image the quality remain the same
Cons

  • it doesn't supports the animations.
  • it cannot stores multiple image in a single file.
  • its not flexible with every web browser

RAW
Raw image file format is use to store the disk or the volume image.  its the one of the latest image format. which persists uncompressed and it contains the unprocessed and primitive data from the picture sensor of either its a digital image or the scanner one. which shows that the camera which only captures the picture knows the information collected from the sensor. 
Pros
  • when camera is set on shoot on Raw format the image you get is highest quality of image. 
  • shooting in Raw image allows the freedom to user in later productions to amend the mistake that have been formed in regarding to anything from the white balance, light effect or any other exposure.   
  • the best thing is that it allows the sharpness and reduction in the noise as everyone knows that light effect or light image filter ruins the image effect.
Cons
  • To use Raw image file format can be time consuming because user is capturing the picture from the sensor than JPEG .
  • It deals with the more perplexed workflow for the processing.
  • it allows the slow capture time and more space consuming.

TIFF
TIFF is the one of the most latest image file extension which wad developed by the Aldus in 2009 it was specially designed for the desktop publishing. TIFF is most popular among the common users as it is gaining recognition in the graphics designing publishing and the photographic trade. The TIFF image format it compatible to use with software the deals with the layouts, publishing and manipulation of images. 
it is proficient for the recording halftone of image data with the contrasting pixel intensities which, makes it perfect format for the graphics, processing and allows the printing.  
Pros
  • it is one of the adjustable format it allows several type of compression like JPEG, LZW or the zip format.
  • it can be save with the layers.
  • it allows high quality image format with the all colors.
  • TIFF files can't be compressed. this means completely data captured during scanning is saved.
Cons
  • it contains very large size of the file
  • take time during transfer of the file.
  • It consume hard disk space
  • very slow loading time

Image compression in matlab with explaination

Image
Image compression Wcompress command: The  wcompress  command performs either compression or uncompression of grayscale or truecolor images. Spiht parameter of wcompress: spiht' Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees Xc = wcompress( 'u' , 'wpeppers.wtc' ); uncompresses the file  SAV_FILENAME , which contains the compressed image, and returns the image  XC . Depending on the initial compressed image,  XC  can be a 2-D array containing either an indexed image or a 3-D array of  uint8  containing a truecolor image. [CR,BPP] = wcompress( 'c' ,X, 'wpeppers.wtc' , 'spiht' , 'maxloop' ,12); [COMPRAT,BPP] = wcompress('c',...)  returns the compression ratio  COMPRAT  and the bit_per_pixel ratio  BPP .` Comprat  states the compression ratio ‘ BPP'  =  'bpp'  or  'BPP'  sets the bit-per-pixel ratio. 'c'  : color transformation type (RGB  uint8 ). axis...

Data Types in Matlab

  MATLAB does not require any type declaration or dimension statements. Whenever MATLAB encounters a new variable name, it creates the variable and allocates appropriate memory space. If the variable already exists, then MATLAB replaces the original content with new content and allocates new storage space, where necessary. For example, Total = 42 The above statement creates a 1-by-1 matrix named 'Total' and stores the value 42 in it. Data Types Available in MATLAB MATLAB provides 15 fundamental data types. Every data type stores data that is in the form of a matrix or array. The size of this matrix or array is a minimum of 0-by-0 and this can grow up to a matrix or array of any size. The following table shows the most commonly used data types in MATLAB − Sr.No. Data Type & Description 1 int8 8-bit signed integer 2 uint8 8-bit unsigned integer 3 int16 16-bit signed integer 4 uint16 16-bit unsigned integer 5 int32 6 uint32 32-bit unsigned integer 7 int64 64-bit signed integer...

Face detection in Matlab with source code

Image
Face Detection Object detection and tracking are important in many computer vision applications, including activity recognition, automotive safety and surveillance. Presented here is an face detection using MATLAB system that can detect not only a human face but also eyes and upper body. Face detection is an easy and simple task for humans, but not so for computers. It has been regarded as the most complex and challenging problem in the field of computer vision due to large intra-class variations caused by the changes in facial appearance, ligh ting and expression. Such variations result in the face distribution to be highly nonlinear and complex in any space that is linear to the original image space. Face detection is the process of identifying one or more human faces in images or videos. It plays an important part in many biometric, security and surveillance systems, as well as image and video indexing systems. WHAT IS FACE DETECTION? The definition of face dete...
