GIF was one of the first two image formats commonly used on Web sites, the other being the black-and-white XBM. [5] In September 1995 Netscape Navigator 2.0 added the ability for animated GIFs to loop. While GIF was developed by CompuServe, it used the Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW) lossless data compression algorithm patented by Unisys in 1985.
Loop recording is the process of recording audio continuously to an endless tape (if magnetic tape is used) or to computer memory, or recording video feeds (such as from video surveillance or camera signals) on a video server. [1]
The lithograph process and the loop format follow the tradition that was set by the stroboscopic disc, zoetrope and praxinoscope. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Katsudō Shashin (produced between 1907 and 1912), is speculated to be the oldest work of animation in Japan and it was probably made in imitation of similar Western printed film strips.
When it was introduced in the French newspaper Le Figaro in June 1833, the term 'phénakisticope' was explained to be from the root Greek word φενακιστικός phenakistikos (or rather from φενακίζειν phenakizein), meaning "deceiving" or "cheating", [2] and ὄψ óps, meaning "eye" or "face", [3] so it was probably intended loosely as 'optical deception' or 'optical illusion'.
In computer programming, an infinite loop (or endless loop) [1] [2] is a sequence of instructions that, as written, will continue endlessly, unless an external ...
Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) is a file format which extends the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) specification to permit animated images that work similarly to animated GIF files, while supporting 24 or 48-bit images and full alpha transparency not available for GIFs.
A disadvantage of the flip book can be seen in the fact that the animation stops rather quickly, while the zoetrope can display animation as a continuous loop. [ citation needed ] Eadward Muybridge published his first chronophotography pictures in 1878.
The original 1904 Droste cocoa tin, designed by Jan Misset (1861–1931) [a] The Droste effect (Dutch pronunciation:), known in art as an example of mise en abyme, is the effect of a picture recursively appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear.
