Web Conferencing Using the Java Media Framework (JMF)

Thu, 05 Aug 2004 00:00:00 EDT

Java Media Framework (JMF) is used to develop the browser-based Web conferencing application. In this architecture, the client uses two JMF applets - one for capturing video/audio from a Webcam and the other for playing video/audio feed. The capture applet continuously captures video/audio feed for a specified length of time (e.g., 10 seconds) and saves it locally in a file. This file is uploaded to a Web server using an upload servlet.

In this article we'll discuss the conversion of image formats using Sun's Java Image I/O (ImageIO) and the NIH ImageJ APIs. The image formats of interest are DICOM, JPEG 2000, PNG, and TIFF.

A single API, ImageIO or ImageJ, supports the reading and writing of limited image formats.

Model-View-Controller based Plug-able Declarative Framework

The declarative nature of the framework will allow the controller and the model to be specified declaratively in configuration files, versus custom coded in ColdFusion.
