About Frompo
  • Every day, with the increase in the number of
    online resources, a need to browse through them
    arises. Frompo makes it easier to look them up
    without wasting much time. With a plenty of
    search engines and tools already existing in the
    market to search, discover and share content, the
    problem is not having an access to the world of
    information, but is to have access to the content
    one wants when one wants it!
  • Operating for about 4 years now, Frompo has
    established and highlighted its name successfully
    amongst other search engines. Frompo is a next
    generation green and clean search engine. It is
    a community of users who come together and curate
    search results to improve the search experience
    for everyone. Being a curated search engine,
    Frompo extensively manually edits search results
    according to user specifications. The word curate
    means to organize and oversee custodian of a
    collection or a conservator. This holds apt for
    Frompo considering its mechanism it aggregates
    the most relevant searches from Google, Yahoo!
    and Bing and delivers them in a convenient search
    package.

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.
  • About the Green Search Engine Frompo declared
    during its launch that it believes in giving back
    to the mother Earth and sincerely wants to help,
    save and preserve the environment. Alongside
    being user-friendly, it is also eco-friendly! The
    revenue generated by performing searches on
    Frompo or clicking on search ads will help in
    helping the environment!

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 imaginesthe 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 techniqueslossless 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.
