anything like singing on a show for no money or making an appearance on the local game show White began her television career in three months after high school graduation when she and a classmate sang

full creative control in front of and behind the camera at the time Although several sources state White won an Emmy for the show this appears to be incorrect and may be a matter of confusing the

Moore Show White considers her part as Sue Ann in the show one of the highlights of her professional career but she describes her television image as "icky sweet " She felt that she was the very

musical score of The Empire Strikes Back was composed and conducted by John Williams and it was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra at a cost of about In the company RSO Records published this film s original musical score as both a double LP album and as an track cartridge in the United States Its front cover artwork features the mask of Darth Vader against a backdrop of outer space as seen on the advance theatrical poster for the film In the first Compact disc CD issue of the film score was made by the company Polydor Records which had absorbed both RSO Records and its music catalog Polydor Records used a shorter one compact disc edition of the music as their master In th Century Fox Film Scores released a special boxed set of four compact discs the Star Wars Trilogy The Original Soundtrack Anthology This anthology included the film scores of all three members of the original Star Wars Trilogy in separate CDs even though there was significant overlap between the three such as the Star Wars theme music In the record company RCA Victor released a definitive two CD set to accompany the publications of all three of the Special Editions of the films of the Star Wars Trilogy This original limited edition set of CDs featured a page black booklet that was enclosed within a protective outer slip case The covers of the booklet and of the slip case have selections from the poster art of the Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition All of the tracks have been digitally re mastered supposedly for superior clarity of sound RCA Victor next re packaged the Special Edition set later on in offering it in slim line jewel case packaging as an unlimited edition but without the packaging that the original "black booklet" version offered In the Sony Classical Records company purchased the sales rights of the original trilogy s musical scores—primarily because it already had the sales rights of the music from the trilogy of prequels The Phantom Menace Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith Hence in the Sony Classical company began manufacturing copies of the film score CDs that RCA Victor had been making since including the one for The Empire Strikes Back This set was made with new cover artwork similar to that of the film s first publication on DVD Despite the digital re mastering by Sony Classical their CD version made and sold since is essentially the same as the version by RCA Victor Other media edit Novelization edit Main article The Empire Strikes Back novel A novelization of the film was released on April and published by the company Del Rey Books The novelization was written by Donald F Glut and it was based on the screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan Leigh Brackett and George Lucas This novelization was originally published as Star Wars The

of the Star Wars Trilogy background information is added to explain the happenings of the story beyond that which is depicted on screen citation needed Comic book adaptation edit Main article Star Wars comics Marvel Comics published a comic book adaptation of The Empire Strikes Back which was written by Archie Goodwin and illustrated by Al Williamson and Carlos Garzon It was published simultaneously in four formats as a magazine Marvel Super Special an oversized tabloid edition Marvel Special Edition Featuring Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back as a serialized comic book and as a pocket book paper backed book In the paperback and tabloid versions which were published first and for which early concept designs were the only available art reference Yoda was given a quite different appearance than in the films Yoda is thinner he has long white hair and he has purple skin rather than green skin For the magazine and serialized comic book editions there was enough time for the artwork featuring Yoda to be revised extensively and his appearance was changed to match that in the film Comic book historians and industry professionals have remarked that Marvel s Star Wars comics published in the years before The Empire Strikes Back include plot points similar to those later used in the film However the film s makers have not acknowledged receiving any inspiration from the comic books Book and record set edit Lucasfilm adapted the story for a children s book and record set Released in the page Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back read along book was accompanied by a ?

Zealand banking agency Migration edit See also section Database migration in article Data migration A database built with one DBMS is not portable to another DBMS i e the other DBMS cannot run it However in some situations it is desirable to move migrate a database from one DBMS to another The reasons are primarily economical different DBMSs may have different total costs of ownership or TCOs functional and operational different DBMSs may have different capabilities The migration involves the database s transformation from one DBMS type to another The transformation should maintain if possible the database related application i e all related application programs intact Thus the database s conceptual and external architectural levels should be maintained in the transformation It may be desired that also some aspects of the architecture internal level are maintained A complex or large database migration may be a complicated and costly one time project by itself which should be factored into the decision to migrate This in spite of the fact that tools may exist to help migration between specific DBMSs Typically a DBMS vendor provides tools to help importing databases from other popular DBMSs Building maintaining and tuning edit Main article Database tuning After designing a database for an application the next stage is building the database Typically an appropriate general purpose DBMS can be selected to be utilized for this purpose A DBMS provides the needed user interfaces to be utilized by database administrators to define the needed application s data structures within the DBMS s respective data model Other user interfaces are used to select needed DBMS parameters like security related storage allocation parameters etc When the database is ready all its data structures and other needed components are defined it is typically populated with initial application s data database initialization which is typically a distinct project in many cases using specialized DBMS interfaces that support bulk insertion before making it operational In some cases the database becomes operational while empty of application data and data is accumulated during its operation After the database is created initialised and populated it needs to be maintained Various database parameters may need changing and the database may need to be tuned tuning for better performance application s data structures may be changed or added new related application programs may be written to add to the application s functionality etc Backup and restore edit Main article Backup Sometimes it is desired to bring a database back to a previous state for many reasons e g cases when the database is found corrupted due to a software error or if it has been updated with erroneous data To achieve this a backup operation is done occasionally or continuously where each desired database state i e the values of its data and their embedding in database s data structures is kept within dedicated backup files many techniques exist to do this effectively When this state is needed i e when it is decided by a database administrator to bring the database back to this state e g by specifying this state by a desired point in time when the database was in this state these files are utilized to restore that state Static Analysis edit Static analysis techniques for software verification can be applied also in the scenario of query languages In particular the Abstract interpretation framework has been extended to the field of query languages for relational databases as a way to support sound approximation techniques The semantics of query languages can be tuned according to suitable abstractions of the concrete domain of data The abstraction of relational database system has many interesting applications in particular for security purposes such as fine grained access control watermarking etc Other edit Other DBMS features might include Database logs Graphics component for producing graphs and charts especially in a data warehouse system Query optimizer – Performs query optimization on every query to choose for it the most efficient query plan a partial order tree of operations to be executed to compute the query result May be specific to a particular storage engine Tools or hooks for database design application programming application program maintenance database performance analysis and monitoring database configuration monitoring DBMS hardware configuration a DBMS and related database may span computers networks and storage units and related database mapping especially for a distributed DBMS storage allocation and database layout monitoring storage migration Underwater motion capture camera An animation database is a database which stores fragments of animations or human movements and which can be accessed analyzed and queried to develop and assemble new animations Given that the manual generation of a large amount of animation can be time consuming and expensive an animation database can assist users in building animations by using existing components and sharing animation fragments Early examples of animation databases include the system MOVE which used an object oriented database Modern animation databases can be populated via the extraction of skeletal animations from motion capture data Other examples include crowd simulation in which a number of people are simulated as a crowd Given that in some applications the people need to be walking at different speeds say on a sidewalk the animation database can be used to retrieve and merge different animated figures The method is mainly known as "motion graphs" Animation databases can also be used for "interactive storytelling" in which fragments of animations are retrieved from the animation database and are recycled to combine into new stories For instance the animation database called Animebase is used within the system Words Anime to help generate animations using recycled components In this approach the user may input words which form parts of a story and queries against the database help select suitable animation fragments This type of system may indeed use two databases an animation database as well as a story knowledge database The story knowledge database may use subjects predicates and objects to refer to story fragments The system then assists the user in matching between story fragments and animation fragments Animation databases can also be used for the generation of visual scenes using humanoid models An example application has been the development of an animated humanoid based sign language system to help the disabled Another application of an animation database is in the synthesis of idle motion for human characters Human beings move all the time and in unique ways and the presentation of a consistent and realistic set of idle motions for each character between different animation segments has been a challenge e g each person has a unique way of standing and this needs to be represented in a realistic way throughout an animation One of the problems is that idle motion affects all joints and simply showing statistical movements at each joint results in less than realistic portrayals One approach to solving this problem is to use an animation database with a large set of pre recorded human movements and obtain the suitable patterns of motion from the database through statistical analysis Motion tracking in swimming by using image processingMeasurement volume edit A Underwater camera is typically able to measure – meters depending on the water quality the camera and the type of marker used Unsurprisingly the best range is achieved when the water is clear and like always the measurement volume is also dependent on the number of cameras A range of underwater markers are available for different circumstances Tailored edit Different pools require different mountings and fixtures Therefore all underwater motion capture systems are uniquely tailored to suit each specific pool installment For cameras placed in the center of the pool specially designed tripods using suction cups are provided Markerless edit Emerging techniques and research in computer vision are leading to the rapid development of the markerless approach to motion capture Markerless systems such as those developed at Stanford University the University of Maryland MIT and the Max Planck Institute do not require subjects to wear special equipment for tracking Special computer algorithms are designed to allow the system to analyze multiple streams of optical input and identify human forms breaking them down into constituent parts for tracking ESC entertainment a subsidiary of Warner Brothers Pictures created specially to enable virtual cinematography including photorealistic digital look alikes for filming the Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions movies and used a technique called Universal Capture that utilized camera setup and the tracking the optical flow of all pixels over all the D planes of the cameras for motion gesture and facial expression capture leading to photorealistic results Traditional systems edit Traditionally markerless optical motion tracking is used to keep track on various objects including airplanes launch vehicles missiles and satellites Many of such optical motion tracking applications occur outdoors requiring differing lens and camera configurations High resolution images of the target being tracked can thereby provide more information than just motion data The image obtained from NASA s long range tracking system on space shuttle Challenger s fatal launch provided crucial evidence about the cause of the accident Optical tracking systems are also used to identify known spacecraft and space debris despite the fact that it has a disadvantage over radar in that the objects must be reflecting or emitting sufficient light An optical tracking system typically consists of subsystems the optical imaging system the mechanical tracking platform and the tracking computer The optical imaging system is responsible for converting the light from the target area into digital image that the tracking computer can process Depending on the design of the optical tracking system the optical imaging system can vary from as simple as a standard digital camera to as specialized as an astronomical telescope on the top of a mountain The specification of the optical imaging system determines the upper limit of the effective range of the tracking system The mechanical tracking platform holds the optical imaging system and is responsible for manipulating the optical imaging system in such a way that it always points to the target being tracked The dynamics of the mechanical tracking platform combined with the optical imaging system determines the tracking system s ability to keep the lock on a target that changes speed rapidly The tracking computer is responsible for capturing the images from the optical imaging system analyzing the image to extract target position and controlling the mechanical tracking platform to follow the target There are several challenges First the tracking computer has to be able to capture the image at a relatively high frame rate This posts a requirement on the bandwidth of the image capturing hardware The second challenge is that the image processing software has to be able to extract the target image from its background and calculate its position Several textbook image processing algorithms are designed for this task This problem can be simplified if the tracking system can expect certain characteristics that is common in all the targets it will track The next problem down the line is to control the tracking platform to follow the target This is a typical control system design problem rather than a challenge which involves modeling the system dynamics and designing controllers to control it This will however become a challenge if the tracking platform the system has to work with is not designed for real time The software that runs such systems are also customized for the corresponding hardware components One example of such software is OpticTracker which controls computerized telescopes to track moving objects at great distances such as planes and satellites An other option is the software SimiShape which can also be used hybrid in combination with markers Non optical systems edit Inertial systems edit Inertial Motion Capture technology is based on miniature inertial sensors biomechanical models and sensor fusion algorithms The motion data of the inertial sensors inertial guidance system is often transmitted wirelessly to a computer where the motion is recorded or viewed Most inertial systems use gyroscopes to measure rotational rates These rotations are translated to a skeleton in the software Much like optical markers the more gyros the more natural the data No external cameras emitters or markers are needed for relative motions although they are required to give the absolute position of the user if desired Inertial motion capture systems capture the full six degrees of freedom body motion of a human in real time and can give limited direction information if they include a magnetic bearing sensor although these are much lower resolution and susceptible to electromagnetic noise Benefits of using Inertial systems include no solving portability and large capture areas Disadvantages include floating where the user looks like a marionette on strings lower positional accuracy and positional drift which can compound over time These systems are similar to the Wii controllers but are more sensitive and have greater resolution and update rates They can accurately measure the direction to the ground to within a degree The popularity of inertial systems is rising amongst independent game developers mainly because of the quick and easy set up resulting in a fast pipeline A range of suits are now available from various manufacturers and base prices range from to USD Ironically the systems use newer chips and sensors and are wireless taking advantage of the next generation of inertial sensors and wireless devices Mechanical motion edit Mechanical motion capture systems directly track body joint angles and are often referred to as exoskeleton motion capture systems due to the way the sensors are attached to the body A performer attaches the skeletal like structure to their body and as they move so do the articulated mechanical parts measuring the performer s relative motion Mechanical motion capture systems are real time relatively low cost free of occlusion and wireless untethered systems that have unlimited capture volume Typically they are rigid structures of jointed straight metal or plastic rods linked together with potentiometers that articulate at the joints of the body These suits tend to be in the to range plus an external absolute positioning system Some suits provide limited force feedback or haptic input Magnetic systems edit Magnetic systems calculate position and orientation by the relative magnetic flux of three orthogonal coils on both the transmitter and each receiver The relative intensity of the voltage or current of the three coils allows these systems to calculate both range and orientation by meticulously mapping the tracking volume The sensor output is DOF which provides useful results obtained with two thirds the number of markers required in optical systems one on upper arm and one on lower arm for elbow position and angle The markers are not occluded by nonmetallic objects but are susceptible to magnetic and electrical interference from metal objects in the environment like rebar steel reinforcing bars in concrete or wiring which affect the magnetic field and electrical sources such as monitors lights cables and computers The sensor response is nonlinear especially toward edges of the capture area The wiring from the sensors tends to preclude extreme performance movements The capture volumes for magnetic systems are dramatically smaller than they are for optical systems With the magnetic systems there is a distinction between “AC” and “DC” systems one uses square pulses the other uses sine wave pulse Related techniques edit Facial motion capture edit Main article Facial motion capture Most traditional motion capture hardware vendors provide for some type of low resolution facial capture utilizing anywhere from to markers with either an active or passive marker system All of these solutions are limited by the time it takes to apply the markers calibrate the positions and process the data Ultimately the technology also limits their resolution and raw output quality levels High fidelity facial motion capture also known as performance capture is the next generation of fidelity and is utilized to record the more complex movements in a human face in order to capture higher degrees of emotion Facial capture is currently arranging itself in several distinct camps including traditional motion capture data blend shaped based solutions capturing the actual topology of an actor s face and proprietary systems The two main techniques are stationary systems with an array of cameras capturing the facial expressions from multiple angles and using software such as the stereo mesh solver from OpenCV to create a D surface mesh or to use light arrays as well to calculate the surface normals from the variance in brightness as the light source camera position or both are changed These techniques tend to be only limited in feature resolution by the camera resolution apparent object size and number of cameras If the users face is percent of the working area of the camera and a camera has megapixel resolution then sub millimeter facial motions can be detected by comparing frames Recent work is focusing on increasing the frame rates and doing optical flow to allow the motions to be retargeted to other computer generated faces rather than just making a D Mesh of the actor and their expressions RF positioning edit RF radio frequency positioning systems are becoming more viable as higher frequency RF devices allow greater precision than older RF technologies such as traditional radar The speed of light is centimeters per nanosecond billionth of a second so a gigahertz billion cycles per second RF signal enables an accuracy of about centimeters By measuring amplitude to a quarter wavelength it is possible to improve the resolution down to about mm To achieve the resolution of optical systems frequencies of gigahertz or higher are needed which are almost as line of sight and as easy to block as optical systems Multipath and reradiation of the signal are likely to cause additional problems but these technologies will be ideal for tracking larger volumes with reasonable accuracy since the required resolution at meter distances is not likely to be as high Many RF scientists believe that radio frequency will never produce the accuracy required for motion capture Non traditional systems edit An alternative approach was developed where the actor is given an unlimited walking area through the use of a rotating sphere similar to a hamster ball which contains internal sensors recording the angular movements removing the need for external cameras and other equipment Even though this technology could potentially lead to much lower costs for motion capture the basic sphere is only capable of recording a single continuous direction Additional sensors worn on the person would be needed to record anything more Another alternative is using a DOF Degrees of freedom motion platform with an integrated omni directional treadmill with high resolution optical motion capture to achieve the same effect The captured person can walk in an unlimited area negotiating different uneven terrains Applications include medical rehabilitation for balance training biomechanical research and virtual reality See also References External links History edit The Sayre Glove created by Electronic Visualization Laboratory in was the first wired glove In Thomas G Zimmerman filed a patent US Patent on an optical flex sensor mounted in a glove to measure finger bending Zimmerman worked with Jaron Lanier to incorporate ultrasonic and magnetic hand position tracking technology to create the Power Glove and Data Glove respectively US Patent filed The optical flex sensor used in the Data Glove was invented by Young L Harvill who scratched the fiber near the finger joint to make it locally sensitive to bending One of the first wired gloves available to home users in was the Nintendo Power Glove This was designed as a gaming glove for the Nintendo Entertainment System It had a crude tracker and finger bend sensors plus buttons on the back The resistive sensors in the PowerGlove were also used by hobbyists to create their own datagloves This was followed by the CyberGlove created by Virtual Technologies Inc in Virtual Technologies was acquired by Immersion Corporation in September In the CyberGlove line of products was divested by Immersion Corporation and a new company CyberGlove Systems LLC took over development manufacturing and sales of the CyberGlove In addition to the CyberGlove Immersion Corp also developed three other data glove products the CyberTouch which vibrates each individual finger of the glove when a finger touches an object in virtual reality the CyberGrasp which actually simulates squeezing and touching of solid as well as spongy objects and the CyberForce device which does all of the above and also measures the precise motion of the user s entire arm In the P Glove was released In normal applications it worked as a two dimensional mouse and a few computer games were specially adapted to provide " D" support for it The P glove is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP and Mac OS version or below Unofficial drivers for Linux exist as well While it received some positive reviews from gadget and gaming magazines its lack of compatible software and other issues caused it to remain a novelty citation needed It has since been discontinued Following the P Glove is th Glove A data glove and flexor strip kit th Glove
