Block-artifacts are a result of the very principle of block transform coding. The transform (for example the discrete cosine transform) is applied to a block of pixels, and to achieve lossy compression, the transform coefficients of each block are quantized. The lower the bit rate, the more coarsely the coefficients are represented and the more ...
Block by Block is based on an earlier initiative started in October 2011, Mina Kvarter (My Block), which gave young people in Swedish communities a tool to visualize how they wanted to change their part of town. According to Manneh, the project was a helpful way to visualize urban planning ideas without necessarily having a training in ...
Box-drawing characters, also known as line-drawing characters, are a form of semigraphics widely used in text user interfaces to draw various geometric frames and boxes. These characters are characterized by being designed to be connected horizontally and/or vertically with adjacent characters, which requires proper alignment.
In contrast with older MPEG-1/2/4 standards, the H.264 deblocking filter is not an optional additional feature in the decoder.[1] [2] It is a feature on both the decoding path and on the encoding path, so that the in-loop effects of the filter are taken into account in reference to macroblocks used for prediction.
The fillet is normally used as decoration in the lining of a picture frame or underneath a mat inside one; the intent is to help draw the eye inwards to the document being framed. [3] However, one can also use inverted fillets as form of picture frame on small, flat objects, as seen below: An old greeting card, framed with an inverted fillet
The Zendikar block is a Magic: The Gathering block consisting of the sets Zendikar (October 2, 2009), [1] Worldwake (February 5, 2010), [2] Rise of the Eldrazi (April 23, 2010). [3] The eponymous setting is a vast, untamed wilderness, whose few bastions of civilization exist primarily for outfitting treasure-seeking expeditions to distant locales.
Theme decks serve a similar function; however, they are always attached to a specific set or block, while compilations are free to pick and choose cards from any set. All expansion sets, and all editions of the base set from Sixth Edition onward, are identified by an expansion symbol printed on the right side of cards, below the art and above ...
