Get image information w/o BridgeTalk

I was just wondering if there were any other options for getting information about an image (dimensions, mode, etc) within bridge? The way I am doing it now is sending a script to Photoshop via BridgeTalk that opens the file and returns the data I want, however this is quite a slow process because I am working with some large files.
Can anything be gathered about an image (besides metadata) from within bridge alone?

If you have a development budget, perhaps an automated
solution like this
would be suitable:

Overwrite image information box display

I want to insert a mouse over image into my Project. I think
I'm on the right track...Insert>HTML>Forms>Image Button
(Ok maybe the image button is not on the right track but it's a
start). I'm getting an informational box that says:
Overwrite "C:\Projects\IQS\Wizard icon png.png"?
Why does it do this and what is the correct response Yes or
No?

Hello again
Perhaps it will help to remove RoboHelp form the picture and
think purely in terms of Windows Explorer and files. Let's say you
have a folder named C:\Images.
You have another folder named C:\Projects.
You copy an image named MyImage.gif from C:\Images to
C:\Projects. The first time you do this, the image doesn't exist in
C:\Projects so it is simply copied.
Perhaps you try to copy the image again. This time you should
see a message that is basically saying Stop and pay attention! You
already have an image in this location that is using the same file
name as what you are about to copy. Are you certain?
RoboHelp is basically doing the same thing. It knows you
already have an image in the project that is using that name. So it
is having you decide upon how it should behave.
Unfortunately we can't tell you which action is appropriate.
Only you will know that for certain and here's why. Assuming you
have already used this image and you didn't change the image, you
are probably safe in allowing RoboHelp to copy the new image and
overwrite the old one. As I said earlier, as long as it's the same
image no harm will be done. But if perhaps you are using images
from multiple locations, maybe you found one on the web you are
wanting to use and it's named identically to another image you
already are using in the project, you would want to think twice
about proceeding. Because if you do, you will replace the first
image with the second and that can have some serious consequences.
Sorry, but without watching what you are doing first hand
it's a bit difficult to know how to advise. All we can do is to
provide generalities.

Pan | Zoom: how to get image offsets when panning

Hello,
I am trying to use the Pan | Zoom control to show images, allowing zoom and pan. I haven't found yet a way to infer the X,Y offset of the part of the image that it's displayed in the imageviewer visible rectangle. I need these details in order to print objects and markers at the right place over the image.
Is there some hidden or simple way to get these informations?
Thanks,
Mario

Get image properties not in Metadata

Hi,
I use the XMPScript API with a JScript for Photoshop to get files image properties (width and height) before to import them. It work well but SGI and OpenEXR files don't have width/heigth information in the Metadata. I would like to know if it's possible to figure out this problem.
For example, how ACDSee can get this information for SGI files ?
Thanks

Bridge has an alternate interface for accessing metadata from image files. You may be able to get the values you need that way. The other alternative is to call exiftool via app.system(), have it dump its results to a text file and see if what you need is in there.

Getting images sort of like live stream

I have an application. I want to make it to somewhat stream my images. The way it works is that i have a thread running that captures data from my port, goes into the pc, does some process and then display an image. I want to keep doing this continuously or depending on how many frames i want. How would i go about implementing something like this.
Using for loops would not work because then the image only display at the end of the loop which is the last frame and misses out on others. Just wondering what method or ways to do it.
Thanks

thanks bobear. here's something i'm facing. i'm using a jbutton to start my stream.
code looks something like:
Runnable updateImage = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
 displayUpdateImage()
for (frameCounter = 0; frameCounter < frameWanted; frameCounter++) {
 SwingUtilities.invokeLater(updateImage);
 System.out.println("Frame number " + frameCounter);
 getData();
 }Basically, getData() will get the information from my port, then there are other functions to convert the data to image. With invoke later, the updated image only displays after the process is done (after for loop is done). Where am i doing wrong here, or is there a better way to do it.
Thanks for your time.

Of course you get the page source. What else could you get?
Or are you saying that what that code gets is different than what a browser gets from the same URL? Then you're not doing the same things as a browser would. Check the headers which your browser sends, and have your code send the same headers.
However instead of trying to scrape the HTML from the site, why not have a look at the features which the site provides for developers? Developers

Error -1074396120 IMAQ Get Image Info Error "Not an image"

Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on Machine Vision project. It has to measure distance of small metal elements, which moves on a conveyor. I've built and tested measurement algorithm in NI Vision Builder and it worked really cool. Today I tried to migrate inspection to LabVIEW in order to add features connected with sensors which I use in my project. When migration completed I run a VI, and suddenly got error:
Error -1074396120 occured at IMAQ Get Image Info
Not an image.
I use in my project Logitech Pro 9000, and I can see it in MAX. I acquire image in 640x480 resolution as RGB2. I read somewhere that it could be caused by RGB colors of image. In my algorithm after acquiring image is thresholded in order to get binary image.
Please tell me which block diagrams should I attach to this post to make it more understandable for you (if it is needed). Is it possible to fix this error ? Did anyone sorted it out already ? Thanks for any help.
Best regards,
Michael

First of all I would like to apologize for long delay in replying and thank you for your replies.
@toto26:
Yes, I used before threshold function a function you mentioned. The problem is that my algorithm works correctly in Vision Builder, but after migrating to LabVIEW, when I run a VI it doesn't work. It's strange for me.
The problem also occurs when I made my algorithm as simple as possible - now it includes two steps: acquisition and find edge function. After migration it still cannot acquire an image. Below I present an error and a place where it occurs (process ID already in use):
I think that it would be easier and faster when I understand IMAQ functions. I want to build my algorithm from the beginning in LabVIEW, because I would be aware of every part of my program. Please tell me if it is possible with my camera. Could you suggest me where can I find information about building vision application in LabVIEW for beginners. What keywords should I look for.
Thanks for any advice,
Michael

Get Image's bytes

Hi people,
I'm trying to get the bytes from an image. I know the complete path to that image, and I know the image's name also, so I pass the image's whole name as a String to a method wich will read the bytes. When I try to read the image's bytes I get the following meassures: width = -1, height = 0.
This is the code I use:
int err = imageReturn(path + "/" + img);
byte[] b2bytes = b2.toByteArray();
public int imageReturn(String imagePath){
    //path is c:\javi\image.jpg
    try{
        int w,h;
        Image img = null;
        img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imagePath);
        w = img.getWidth(null);
        h = img.getHeight(null);
System.out.println("image size: " + w + "x" + h); //--> print's -1x0!!!
        BufferedImage finalImage = new BufferedImage(w, h,
                                            BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        finalImage.createGraphics().drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
        b2 = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); //global
        JPEGImageEncoder encoder=JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(b2);
        JPEGEncodeParam param=encoder.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam
                                                           (finalImage);
        param.setQuality(1.0f, false);
        encoder.setJPEGEncodeParam(param);
        encoder.encode(finalImage);
        b2.close();
        return(0);
    }catch(Exception e){
        System.out.println(e.toString());
        return(-1);
}//imageReturnAs you see, the goal is to get a byte[] with the image information. I don't know if there's any other way (simpler one) to solve it. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks all,
Javi

The problem really is withe the Image class, which was never intended for this sort of thing. If you use the ImageIO classes, you can get BufferedImages direct from jpg files, and then you have access to the underlying buffers:
import java.io.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
public class FileOperations
    public static BufferedImage readImageFromFile(File file) throws IOException
        return ImageIO.read(file);
    public static void writeImageToFile(File file,BufferedImage bufferedImage) throws IOException
        ImageIO.write(bufferedImage,"JPG",file);
}

How to extract text and image information from postscript file

I want to write a programe,and extract text and image information from postscript file using Java.Is it possible? How to extract ?
Thank!

First of all, PostScript is not a "text" file. It can and often does contain binary data. Since PostScript streams often contain nested procedures, unless you process the procedure definitions and can "execute" them, you cannot simply "scan" a file to get what you want. No, I can't talk about this in detail since it is quite complex. But Adobe does have the
PostScript Language Reference Manual on-line for download at
. Look that over and you will have a fairly healthy respect as to the task involved.

FP.Get Image method does not capture the background image

The attached VI (8.5) demonstrates the issue nicely - the background image is not included in the image captured by the FP.Get Image method.
Workaround - don't use the background image if you want to capture the FP like this - paste your image in the background or use a picture control.

How to clear just the computer name before getting image of the hard disk?

Hi,
I have a Win 7 PC with some applications installed on it and I don't have the installation files of the applications. Now I want to create an image of the C drive, and use it on other PCs. So I need to just clear the computer name and shutdown
the PC and use an imaging software to make an image of the C drive, so when I deploy the image on a new computer, on the first startup screen it'll ask for JUST computer name.
I tried to use sysprep but it look like clearing more data than I want (just PC name). Also the AIK solution look like I have to have the installation files of all the softwares that I want to have on my computer.
In one sentence: How to clear the computer name before getting image using a disk image tool (Acronis, Ghost,...)?

Hi,
Sysprep will do this job. But when the system boot up, it will generate new computer name.
In general, you need boot to win pe after you run systprep. I think you can create a USB bootable device.
In win pe, you can use ImageX or DISM tool to capture the image.
I'm not fimilar with the tools you referred since they are not from Microsoft, so I cannot give any direction about it.
For your information:

I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and want to get more information about the compensation for "Reference Signal Processing", which is scarce in the manuals, the website and the examples installed with the toolkit.

I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and want to get more information about the compensation for "Reference Signal Processing", which is scarce in the manuals, the website and the examples installed with the toolkit.
In particular, I am analyzing the example "Even Angle Reference Signal Processing (Digital Tacho, DAQmx).vi", whose documentation I am reproducing in the following:
DESCRIPTIONS:
This VI demonstrates how to extract even angle reference signals and remove the slow-roll errors. It uses DAQmx VIs to acquire sound or vibration signals and a digital tachometer signal. This VI includes a two-step process: acquire data at low rotational speed to extract even angle reference; use the even angle reference to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Run the VI.
2. On the DAQ Configurations tab, specify the sample rate, samples per channel, device and channel configurations, and tachometer channel information.
NOTE: You need to use DSA PXI-447x/PXI-446x and PXI TIO device in a PXI chassis to run this example. The DSA device must be in slot 2 of the PXI chassis.
3. Switch to Extract Even Angle Reference tab. Specify the number of samples to acquire and the # of revs in reference which determines the number of samples in even angle reference. Click Start to take a one-shot data acquisition of the vibration and tachometer signals. After the acquisition, you can see the extracted even angle references in Even Angle Reference.
4. Switch to the Remove Slow-roll Errors tab. Click Start to acquire data continuously and view the compensate results. Click Stop in this tab to stop the acquisition.
ORDER ANALYSIS VIs USED IN THIS EXAMPLE:
1. SVL Scale Voltage to EU.vi
2. OAT Digital Tacho Process.vi
3. OAT Get Even Angle Reference.vi
4. OAT Convert to Even Angle Signal.vi
5. OAT Compensate Even Angle Signal.vi
My question is: How is the synchronization produced at the time of the compensation ? How is it possible to eliminate the errors in a synchronized fashion with respect to the surface of the shaft bearing in mind that I am acquired data at a low rotation speed in order to get the "even angle reference" and then I use it to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation. In this application both operations are made in different acquisitions, therefore the reference of the correction signal is lost. Is it simply compensated without synchronizing ?
Our application is based on FPGA and we need to clarity those aspects before implementing the procedure.
Solved!

How to restore deleted playlists to an itouch after syncing with wrong device. Tried to search for device to restore under devices and it completely removed it as a device on itunes. Is there anyway to get the information back?

To start we have several users and devices on our itunes account....Several weeks ago I was using my itouch to create playlists for a few aerobics classes that I teach. Right before I was about to unplug the itouch I got a notification that my itouch was full and didnt have any space left. Since I was done with what I was doing at the time, I unplug my itouch and figured I would delete unwanted songs later to create more room. A week later, I went to sync my itouch into itunes and over the devices it told me that it was named another device and wanted to know if i wanted to sync the information to my itouch I had just plug in. I had never seen this message before in all the other times I had used it, and at the time I didnt realize that it was giving my device the name of another user in my house. Without realizing it itunes started to sync the new information to my itouch. I immediately unplugged the usb cable stopping the process. I then replugged the usb cable in, hoping to get done what I needed to get done on my itouch thinking it might have just been a strange glitch. Also, since I hadn't notice any change on my itouch from the incorrect syncing, I continued to start itunes again. This time it asked me the same question as before "did I want to sync the information from another ipod?". Since I didnt notice any changes before I just let it do the syncing not realizing at the time that it was earsing all the info I had on my itouch and replacing it with info coming from the other users ipod.
I contacted Apple and they gave me infomation on how I could go look for my itouch under devices and get the information back. When I did this my itouch was no longer there under the devices and it was replaced with the new name that itunes had given my itouch. This device is one of the first generation itouches and has never been backed up that I know of... So my question to you all is...Is there any way of getting my playlists back???? I spend countless hours creating these playlists for my classes and have been completely out of my mind trying to figure out how I can possibly get the infomation back. Please let me know if you think there might be a way to do this!!!

The devices that are listed are: 2 under the name of the device that synced incorrectly with mine and then 3 others that are not associated with my itouch. The name of the ipod, before the incorrect sycning is no longer under devices. It has been replaced with the incorrect one because I can see the serial # of my ipod under the wrong name.
The playlists that are in my itunes library are from an ipod that I used a few times before I took this one over... Which happens to be the ipod that took on the ID of my itouch.
Both of these ipods used to be my kids.. I used my sons a few times and then switched to my daughters. They each had their names attachted to their particular devices and now it just says my sons, which is the ipod that itunes was connecting to when all this happened. The really strange thing is my son doesnt use his ipod any longer and now uses his phone for music...So, it had been a while since that particular device was even synced to itunes!
I hope this helps!

That is good. In that case, your one and only account has not changed, just the login credentials you use for it. All your previous purchases will remain associated with that account, and the new login.
In essence, an AppleID is an email, but it has two parts. One is the login email address and password everyone traditionally thinks of as an AppleID. But that in turn is linked to an account with Apple. As long as you use the manage Apple ID portal to just change the email address and/or password for your exisiting AppleID, then the internal account tracks along with those changes as well.
However, on your iOS devices, you will need to log out and then log back in with the new login credentials:
settings -> iTunes & App Stores - tap your AppleID, and choose log out. Then log back in with the new email address and new password.
