Tracking a user shape

When I create a custom user shape in the geometry room, say a shape around a person, how can I then track that shape? Do I have to use the manual tracker in conjunction with the user shape? Any insight is appreciated.

You don't track the shape, you track the object. Create a motion database by picking an in and out point and letting the analysis proceed. You are not forced to use the manual tracker unless the base video is so bad that the auto tracker can't follow the target. That file then is attached to the user shape, which, in turn, is attached to a secondary. The COLOR tracker is only single-point and is only as good as the point that you pick. It will not do any corner-pinning or anything to the user shape other than X-Y translations, so if your target object changes in any way, you will eventually wind up hand-animating it.
Good luck.

Tracking user shapes

Hi all!
I'm trying to track a user shape in my secondary room but it seems it can't be done or am I doing anything wrong? I can make it work with a square and a circle but when I want to assign a tracker to a user shape I can't select it in the "Use Tracker...-selector". The manual states I can do it but did I get that wrong as well?

Hi Moqtev, I also just tried the footage that comes with the Color Apple Pro training book and ran a manual tracker on the boat and yes you can only use the circle or the square. You can not select the tracker number. When I did a course on Color with this book,interestingly the user shape was never taught during the tutorials but only the circle or square was used to make changes in the secondary.

User Shape in Secondaries

HI!
I'm new in Color, and I'm testing how it works, because I shall colorgrade a video with around 200 shots next week.
I have run in to a strange problem. In Secondaries I make a User Shape, this brings me to Geometry. There I track my mask, safe it, and attach it to the mask (In this case tracker 1). I Attach my mask on the Secondary (In this case 3). I go back to my Secondary. Colorgrade the selekted, ..are happy. Close down and go home. Next morning when I open my projekt, my Secondary (3) are emty.
I can find (load) my mask in Geometry, then I can attach my tracker again. Then my colorgrade are back too.
But why are the Shape and the Track information not saved with the projekt?
Can anyone tell me where I go wrong?

Here's a little treasure hunt for you all, some directory spelunking.
A COLOR project container saves everything that could be used to move the entire project to another machine. The "bins" that exist within the interface are just ways of splitting up the grade internally so that components can be copied within the timeline. Abandon all "Final Cut" thinking before proceeding... paraphrasing Dante... Abbandona ogni speranza, tutti che entrate. Actually as you drill down through the container, you may be reminded of his tour of the various circles of ****...
Try this. Navigate to the directory containing the COLOR project. For me, its in "Final Touch Items". its a bit of a private, ironic joke. Right-click on the .colorproj line item. Select "Show package contents". You should be presented with a pane containing a number of files and folders like "Archive", "Still Store", "Shots", the xml files (if created) and some ls files. Open the "Shots" directory.
You will be presented with a directory listing corresponding to all the clips in your project, numbered like the shot list in the Setup Room. Pick one that might be interesting, like "Clip 31", which has a tracked user shape in it, maybe. It will open to reveal more files and directories, "Grades", "Pan and Scan", a thumbnail, and a .si file which is a very interesting little file to interrogate (use Text Editor) to figure out why that clip is behaving in some weird way, because it is essentially the XML translated "Item Properties/Format" dialogue that FCP has sent to COLOR. If you have run a tracker, there should be a trk file, which is the tracker data for that clip. Each grade that you have composed for that clip will have a grade-directory. Each grade directory will contain a file that represents the IN primary color correction (pcc), an OUT pcc, a scc (secondary) and a cfx. It may contain a kfd file, which is the keyframe data. It may contain a bsx file, which is the user shape, which I think you are calling a "mask".
In answer to your direct question "are my masks saved in the Secondary bin?" No. They are saved as part of the overall grade, and you access it through the Geometry Room/User Shapes interface.
By the way, the on-screen representation of the user shape will disappear every time you exit the clip you are working on. (Its a bit of a pain, actually) You are required to re-select it in the user shapes bin in the Geometry Room/User Shapes to re-reveal it. By any chance... ? Because you don't see the shape control points doesn't mean that it isn't being applied, if it has been connected. I wonder if that has led you to believe that the shape has been thrown away.
The internal architecture of COLOR is not something that most people delve into until faced with some kind of nightmare forensic reconstruction... care to speculate on how I got to know it so well?
Not from somebody else's training DVD, that's for sure.

Changing a color completely in a user shape.

Thanks in advance for any ideas! Have 2 shots that require hats on people to be changed to a completely different color. The Opposite color to be exact. Need to use a "usershape" to isolate it as it's too close to skin color on the subjects for a simple tweak.
I know how to do this is FCP with the color wheel, but color seems much more pixel accurate and easier to create a mask. Any ideas how I could alter the color from magenta to green?
Thanks!!!

it's too close to skin color
how I could alter the color from magenta to green?
So the skin color is magenta? Might want to massage that and try to give yourself some more separation, maybe in Primary.... and even if you have to introduce a little bit of error, maybe think about re-fixing it at a later stage...
I was going to advise using an HSL qualifier in Secondaries..., and you might try that anyway, in conjunction with a User Shape. And you'll likely need a tracker if the tolerances/separations are really too tight, which will add its own baggage.
If this is a moving picture, I expect you'll also need to animate the user shape as the character will likely be changing shape within the scene.
Curves in secondaries will not be available to you as a tool, as they are not vignette or HSL qualifiable.
User shapes are a non-starter in the COLORFX room, where inserting an "Invert" node would be one tempting option to flip the magenta over to green... especially if the luminance value is close to 50%. You could still fix that with a brightness node, though.
It is sort of possible, with some effort and "add" nodes, to build up a kind of user shape with ovals... but this is one of the reasons why that room is of very limited value, unless you are applying "overall" effects. In the end, though, probably so ridiculously awkward as to not be worthwhile.
So there are several things you can't do... and my own approach would be to eyedropper the hat and see what kind of real separation there might be, before I resorted to the much more labor intensive user shapes. Within the HSL qualifier, if that worked reasonably well, then its going to be a fairly straightforward 3-way-Inside correction. A coarse oval or very, very simple user shape might help if there were some "cleanup" garbage-matte fixes necessary.
If the separation isn't there, I'm afraid you're really into a rotoscope and I hope you've got plenty of time on your hands. You will likely have to animate the user shape in the Geometry/User Shapes room. Save, save, save. And I hope you're on the latest version, because COLOR regularly forgets things that are done in this room. If you do use a tracker.... they are not re-connected (in versions prior to 1.5.3) on re-opening the project, so you should render out the clips immediately!
Make the tool do as much of the work as possible... I thought that's what computers were for!
Actually, this would be a fairly straightforward task in an application like daVinci "Resolve", but they have a completely different architecture.

How to track the user who deleted the info object.

Dear Gurus,
In our BI system one info object has got deleted. If I need to track the user who has deleted that how can I track it(in which DBtable). And the complication is one user ID is being used by many people, in this case how can I track that from which machine the Info Object has been deleted(if there is any possibility to track the machines by IP address).
Kindly let me know if there is any procedure to find it out. Your help will be rewarded with a great honour.
Regards
Mohan Kumar

Hi dear,
you have to go in SLG1 transaction, and then select
Object: RSD
Subobject: IOBJ_DEL
External ID: (put here the name of your deleted IO)
Then choose a time range...and voilà, you can find the user who deleted the IO...
Hope it helps!
Bye,
Roberto
About the IP...look at USR41 table, but I think it's a bit difficult fo find data referred to the past...

How to track WebUI users in GUI

Hi,
I want to track users in GUI who are login via WebUI . Is there any way to track the users in GUI who are working in WebUi like which report they are running, whether their session is active or stuck
We are using CRM 7.0
Regards,
Puskar

Thanks for update,
Now I am checking with development team to develop the functionality to register in a custom table which track webui users in GUI, Because my actual requirement is to implement a long term solution for the table lock issue
We want a solution where Service Requests will be automatically unlocked after 30 minutes if no process is running. As some times users are complaining that Service Requests locked in following cases
u2022     Network volatility: When Network is not instable
u2022     When Network cable is unplugged
u2022     When user doesnu2019t follow the correct way to navigate around Webclient

Tracking of user activity in the system

i'm currently on a project which i need to use BI to track the user activity on the SAP System example like the time they log in or out, the transaction thay made etc. was juz wondering if anyone can give me some idea, solution or a head start in my project. thanks.

Hi,
You could use the tables USR01.....thru USR07 etc. These tables contain user information like name,login times etc.
eg .USR07 gives the tcode etc.
You could create a view to extract the appropriate fields. Then create a datasource using either the view or a function module. You'll have to decide your requirement. Then the rest in BI is pretty standard. The only point should be what data to extract from which tables and how...
Assign points if useful
Regards.

Keeping track of users over different apps

Hi folks,
I haven't seen much on this question. How do you keep track of users across apps? If I log a user in using a 'login' app and then want to move them to another app, how do I keep track of their username (or some other identifier)?
I just read that each app uses it's own session.
Any advice is very much appreciated!

I haven't done it much myself, but you CAN do cross-context calls.
There is a method in ServletContext: getServletContext( String context)
eg
application.getServletContext("/login") would get you the servletContext of the "login" application
From that you can get a request dispatcher, and forward them to a page under that context. You could also pass information back and forth via the application layer.
To do this, you need to explicitly specify an app can make cross-context calls (part of the setup for the web context).
eg in Tomcat
<Context path="/login" docBase="login" reloadable="true" crossContext="true" >
Hope this helps some,

Tracking VPN user connectivity

Is there an easy way on the ASA to track user connectivity statistics? I have found that I can get a syslog record when a user connects / disconnects but am looking for an elegant way to track a bit more. On the old Concentrator there used to be a log entry when a user disconnected that gave things like time connected and the amount of data transferred. I would like to figure out a way to duplicate this on the ASA and maybe even add the IP addressed they received from the DHCP pool? I though this might be part of accounting but that appears to be more for radius integration than keeping track of user usage.
Thoughts or suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Brent

Cisco Security Manager product collects and stores such information (along with a lot of other things). It's a pretty hefty product though and probably more than you want to spend for doing just that one thing.
You can use a general purpose SNMP management tool like PRTG to grab all the data as well. I know it has out of the box sensors for Cisco ASA VPN connections and users. I'm not sure if it also collects the amount of data transferred.

Tracking Individual Users Scores using Captivate 4 and Connect Enterprise

Hi,
I work in an IT shop and currently I am having trouble supporting our Marketing division's Captivate needs. They wish to be able to create quizes for online viewing in an LMS and be able to track individual users scores for accountability. Right now I we are using Captivate 4 with Adobe Connect Enterprise. I have been able to use the LMS and view quizes online, but all reporting is done as aggregate and not a session by session (individual) basis. Thus, I only have access to average, max, min scores and other info about all test takers, but no information about specific test users. I have considered accomplishing this by sending data to an access database, but this would require the IT deparment to regularly assist them with creating tests. Obviously I am looking to have the Marketing department be as self-sufficient as they can be. I think the easiest way would be to have the quiz report a session ID (unique for each instance of the quiz being accessed) to Adobe Connect and having Connect associate each aswer to a specific session ID. Other than that I do not have any other ideas for proper tracking of each user's score.
Does anyone know what the easiest (least amount of involvement from the IT staff each time Marketing needs to make a test in captivate) way to accomplish this?
Thanks!

So, i sorta found a way to do this -- by adding a TOC and making the lessons self-paced, the user will always be brought back to the place where they left off when they exited the lesson.
But it seems that even though the icon in the curriculum list changes to CONTINUE when the user closes the lesson, it still unlocks the next lesson even though the staus checkmarks in the previous lesson are not complete.
Help. Are there any other such postings?

Track a user's IP address

I have gotten multiple offensive messages and calls from a user who is using false names of a couple different people I know. I know this person knows me and goes to my school. I want to track this person, and find out who it is. I have an incling but I cannot just assume. I want to know. The people he is immitating want to know. This is getting out of control and I want to find this person immediately. Please help me track the user names: basshead876 and basketballa469
Please! I do not want their usernames being deleted, I want to find out where they are coming from. This is a serious matter and I want to get to the bottom of this. Please get back to me with some information or anything at all.
Thank you.
Breonna

if you really feel that this is a serious matter, and can be considered as a form of harassment, you may indeed to report this incident to your local police. Then they can contact Skype if your local police may need information for their investigation.

Tracking Website users?

I want to be able to track users that come to the site. I
want to know
where they enter, where they go and what they purchase.
Are there some general strategies that would be helpful to
me?
Any ideas welcome.
I can track general users to the site using applications on
the server
but it doesn't track individuals.
Thanks for your help.

Julian, PERFECT! Thanks. Analytics is exactly what I was
looking for.
Free too! Now I just have to get it to work.
I just got done telling my boss that there really wasn't a
way, besides
paying for data mining (something I don't agree with) so
seeing this
option is great.

How do I use JSP to track online user

Hi,
I am using JPSs to build a website,and I want these JSPs to detect and display how many users are active browsing on my website and their usernames.I know I can use session to track cocurrent users online,but I had to use some external class to do that,so my Q is that is there pure JSP solution for this without use bean or call other class?
Thanks!
John

Okay,
I am fairly new to the whole JSP thing, but I
I understand what you are saying by putting the login
names into a vector. What I don't understand is how
you would set up the vector. I know this isnt going
to be syntactically correct but for example - :
In my file Logon.jsp lets say I have the following
code:
Vector v = new Vector();
String LoginName = session.getValue("login");
v.add(LoginName);
Now the problem I see with this code is that
t everytime someone logs in, Vector v is going to be
reset to a new empty vector and instead of adding to
an already existing vector, this code would just only
be able to hold at most, one login name. Where would
I declare my vector and how do I prevent it from being
wiped out? I am new to this, so please dont bash me
too hard.
EdThis is why you would want to use an external class.
Write a class which has the vector as an instance variable.
The class should have a method to add to the vector
when someone logs in and remove them when they log out.
Use the <jsp:useBean ... scope='application'> tag in your JSP.
This will make the class available to all JSPs in the application.
The first time your class is called it is instantiated.
After the first call it is read from the application object and
is not re-instantiated. You can call your add/remove methods from
a scriptlet in the JSP.

How to track the user's activity while proxy

Hi
Can you help in identifying how to see which user is accessing which application in fusion apps. I am not sure in which logs this information is written. Also When an Admin Proxy another user , can we track that activity as well? like which user id he is proxying and which page of that user's account is opened using proxy.
Thanks in advance.
