3. About Frompo
Sometimes, when one searches for a topic in the search engine, they get
many- a search results which are spam or irrelevant or malicious. Frompo
eliminates this issue by giving them the complete power of the search
engine. Users can actually tailor their own personal search results. For
instance, one could easily search any audio or video, news or blog or
website using specific demands or criteria, say, - lyrics, genres, singer,
movie, album, cast, dance style or channel, podcasts, time of news,
anchors, authors, tweets, following feeds or anything that you could
possibly want!
Objective of Frompo is to identify and classify the best content for a given
topic or category. While most search engines typically get most of their
traffic from the top 10-20% of their indexes, Frompo performs very specific
and to the point, apt searches based on user needs.

7. Images
• The word “Image” is derived from Latin word “Imago”
means representation of a person, animal, thing,
photographs, and painting or otherwise anything
visible. In other words, image is an artifact which
depicts the visual perception of the original stimulus,
in absence of it. It is a two-dimensional picture that
has similar appearance of subject, thus providing a
delineation of it.
• Images are of two types two-dimensional or three-
dimensional. Photograph or screen display is an
example of two-dimensional image, whereas
hologram is a three-dimensional image. Images may
be handmade or captured by optical devices, such as
cameras, mirrors, telescopes, microscopes etc.

Images
The word image can also be described in broader sense, by which it can be classified in
many types. These are:
A volatile image: This one remains only for a fraction of time, this may be a reflection on mirror or a
scene displayed on a cathode ray tube.
A mental image: It exists only in mind, something one remembers or imagines;the subject of an
image need not be real; it may be an abstract concept.
A still image: It is a static image, as distinguished from a moving image.
A film still: It is animage taken on the set of a movie or television program during production and
used for promotional purposes.
A digital image: It is a numeric representation (normally binary) of a two-dimensional image.
Now, if we have to standardize the organization of digital images, we have to use image file
formats. Data in image file format is stored in raster or vector format. Once an image is
rasterized it becomes a grid of pixels and each of them provided with a number of bits to
designate its color and depth. Image file consist of digital data, which can be rasterized to
use on a computer or printer.When an image is rasterized it becomes a grid of pixels and
each of them provided with a number of bits to designate its color and depth. Vector
images, unlike raster images, can be any dimension independent of file size. File size
increases only with the addition of more vectors. Vector imagesbreak the image into a set
of mathematical descriptions of shapes: curve, arc, rectangle, sphere etc., they are
Resolution-independent: scalable without the problem of “pixelating”.
Lastly, talking about compression, it process of reducing image file size. There are two types
of image file compression techniques:lossless and lossy.Losslesstechnique reduces file size
of image preserving the perfect quality of uncompressed image.Lossytechnique preserves
the representation of original copy, but it is not a perfect copy, means the original quality
will be lost.
