چکیده
In this thesis, I designed and implemented a program which simulates a television receiver on a workstation. The television receiver is connected to a network called the Media Bank. The Media Bank is a distributed database which is being developed at the MIT Media Laboratory. The program is written in C and runs on the OSF3.2 UNIX operating system. This software package simulates a future television environment where home users are able to browse through information with an easy-to-use interface. The data comes from media servers, news servers, weather servers, content owners, service providers, and the Media Bank. The television receiver will be equipped with MPEG and JPEG decoder chips and a multi-purpose microprocessor which is used to run this software package. This simulation involves real time delivery of video/audio data and exploits today's digital network to exhibit the potential of the Media Bank as a platform to provide home entertainment and personalized information in the future.

Processing Digital Image for Measurement of Crack Dimensions in Concrete
The elements of the concrete structure are most frequently affected by cracking. Crack detection is essential to ensure safety and performance during its service life. Cracks do not have a regular shape, in order to achieve the exact dimensions of the crack; the general mathematical formulae are by no means applicable. The authors have proposed a new method which aims to measure the crack dimen...
