As on elements 10 how to measure an area (in pixels or %) of certain color in a picture?

I need to separate the ratio of different colors in a thermal image; how many pixels ( or %) of certain red, yellow, white etc.
Is this possible in Elements 10?

You would make a selection of the particular color, read the pixels from the histogram and divide by the total number of pixels to get the percent.
However in reality that's harder than it sounds.
One way might be to use an hue/saturation adjustment layer to help isolate a particular color and then make a selection.
Something like this:
original
1. add a hue/saturation adjustment layer
2. select the color from the dropdown menu. For example yellows.
3. move the saturation slider to zero
4. move the lightness slider all the way left (turns the yellows black) or all the way to the right if you have any black areas in the original image (turns the yellow white)
5. use the magic wand tool to select the black
6. read the number of pixels in the selection from the histogram

  • How can I measure selected area of pixels using photoshop elements 12?

    how can I measure selected area of pixels using photoshop elements 12?

    Show the 'information' panel F8).
    In the middle horizontal section, select 'pixels' on the left drop-down menu.
    Use the rectangular marquee tool to select your area: the dimensions in pixels of the rectangle is shown under 'dimensions' on the right.
    I think there are other ways to measure a line segment, but you could use the above measure by adjusting the rectangular marquee tools to both extremities of the segment,
    - use the move tool to rotate the rectangle so that the diagonal measuring the segment is horizontal,
    - move the rectangle to the left, and check validate, which creates another rectangle including the first one
    - read the pixel dimension (L:) in the info panel like above.

  • How to measure the number of pixels involved in a selected area of a digital photo?

    Hi everyone. I want to determine the number of pixels in an object that is part of a digital photo. I use cameras to film chunks of ice breaking away from ice cliffs or tidewater glaciers. I want to know the size of the ice chunk that my digital photographs capture. I know the width and height of the ice cliff in metres already, so I was thinking that I could convert the equivalent of 1 pixel : ? metres - this is really what I want to do. That way every time I see a chunk of ice breaking off, I can pull up the photo, outline the chunk, calculate how many pixels fill the area of ice removed by the chunk breaking off and convert to metres area 2 - thus giving me my size order. If anyone has ideas on how to do this I would really appreciate it, thanks so much community. I was thinking that Photoshop or Fireworks could help me with this, Ricky

    Hi SIlkrooster,
    Thanks for responding and giving a suggestion,
    I followed your approach (see attached screen shot) , Image, Image Size, and found that approximately 37 pixels = 1 centimetre. So just to be clear - if I measure a straight line with the ruler tool that is say 10cm long, I can simply do: 10 cm * 37 pixels (1cm equivalent) = 370 pixels for the straight line. Do you agree?
    Do you agree?

  • How can I apply Brightness​, Contrast, Saturation​, etc on an color Image or Picture?

    I am using IMAQ to open an existing color jpeg file, and perform operations on it. I would like to be able to change the brightness, contrast, saturation, etc. similarly to what can be done to an IMAQ Session via a property node. I've seen examples for grayscale, but not for color? Anyone have ideas / examples?
    Thanks,

    I found it -- IMAQ ColorBCGLookup.vi if others are interested.

  • How to get the measure of area in HTML by Java

    Hi all,
    I know in JavaScript,
    clientheight and clientlength can get the measure of area of HTML element, but how can I implement this in Java?
    I understand I may need to have a much complete browser component first (for weak HTML rersolving in JDK), but I would like to know how HTML rendering works in JEditorPane and JTextPane, maybe that can help me solve the problem.
    Appreciate for any suggestions and references.
    Best regards,
    KaiLiang

    Thanks lots!!
    So, the View class in JDK does not deal with the width and length information, does it?
    If I want to solve my problem, I have to customize View class to make it can deal with width and length information.
    Is it possible to get width and lenth of elements when JEditorPane render the HTML?

  • How to measure the baseline of a noisy, pulsed signal

    Hi
    I am measuring the torque exerted by a large motor on a shaft using a load cell and lever arm. The shaft runs at approx 150 rpm. I have attached a drawing that shows the output I get. This is a test rig.
    I have written some code that measures the maximum peak out of a group of approx 5 peaks and writes this to a shift register. This gives me an idea of the maximum torque "spike".
    I also wish to measure the baseline torque (due to the bearings in the machine). Even when highly filtered (my noise filter is set to 49Hz) the signal exhibits this noise which is probably due to vibration in the system. The signal is zeroed when the motor is not running.
    Does anyone have an ideas on how to measure the "baseline" torque? The large spike in torque prevents me from doing a running average. Can anyone think of a way of averaging just the noisy part of the signal to get an average value? I aim to to subtract the average baseline torque from the peak value to get an idea of the torque due to the event which causes
    the spike.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. I understand what you are saying. However, I might have to modify my method for measuring the peaks if I choose to implement your idea. I have taken a screenshot of my "peak finder" code and attached it.
    Bascially, the reset terminal is wired to a timer which outputs a pulse every few seconds. This resets the vi (a standard NI one I think) and sets the peak magnitude back to zero. This way, I am windowing the signal and measuring the maximum peak in every window. This is what I need to do.
    So I could use a logical filter to feed data to the running average only if;
    the amplitude of the signal is less than a certain threshold
    and if the current value has similar low peaks either side of it
    How would you construct the code to delay the evaluation so that the values in front and behind of the current data point can be analysed?
    thanks again

    I am using Oracle 9i... You might want to start with a feature of SQL*Plus: The AUTOTRACE (TRACEONLY) option which executes your statement, fetches all records (if there is something to fetch) and shows you some basic statistics information, which include the number of logical I/Os performed, number of sorts etc.
    This gives you an indication of the effectiveness of your statement, so that can check how many logical I/Os (and physical reads) had to be performed.
    Note however that there are more things to consider, as you've already mentioned: The CPU bit is not included in these statistics, and the work performed by SQL workareas (e.g. by hash joins) is also credited only very limited (number of sorts), but e.g. it doesn't cover any writes to temporary segments due to sort or hash operations spilling to disk etc.
    You can use the following approach to get a deeper understanding of the operations performed by each row source:
    alter session set statistics_level=all;
    alter session set timed_statistics = true;
    select /* findme */ ... <your query here>
    SELECT
             SUBSTR(LPAD(' ',DEPTH - 1)||OPERATION||' '||OBJECT_NAME,1,40) OPERATION,
             OBJECT_NAME,
             CARDINALITY,
             LAST_OUTPUT_ROWS,
             LAST_CR_BUFFER_GETS,
             LAST_DISK_READS,
             LAST_DISK_WRITES,
    FROM     V$SQL_PLAN_STATISTICS_ALL P,
             (SELECT *
              FROM   (SELECT   *
                      FROM     V$SQL
                      WHERE    SQL_TEXT LIKE '%findme%'
                               AND SQL_TEXT NOT LIKE '%V$SQL%'
                               AND PARSING_USER_ID = SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CURRENT_USERID')
                      ORDER BY LAST_LOAD_TIME DESC)
              WHERE  ROWNUM < 2) S
    WHERE    S.HASH_VALUE = P.HASH_VALUE
             AND S.CHILD_NUMBER = P.CHILD_NUMBER
    ORDER BY ID
    /Check the V$SQL_PLAN_STATISTICS_ALL view for more statistics available. In 10g there is a convenient function DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR which can show this information with a single call, but in 9i you need to do it yourself.
    Note that "statistics_level=all" adds a significant overhead to the processing, so use with care and only when required:

  • Adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button

    adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button without using their movie menu theme

    forbemag
    I do not think that I am completely focused into this completely, so let us see if the following is going to help.
    You are going to need a base for your button. When you mention "image" button, I am assuming that you are using that term to differentiate between a text button and a thumbnail type button.
    The menus (main and scene) take their origin in .psd files on the hard drive and strict nomenclature and structure for Layers Palatte. And, the buttons on the menus trace back to the menu markers on the Timeline, main menu marker and order of placement of scene markers. The scene thumbnail will only appear when there is a scene marker on the Timeline to which it.
    In view of all that
    Where have you already inserted this "image (button)"...into the Layers Palette of a Photoshop document or other? Is this "image (button)" in a structured Layer Group in the Layers Palette with sublayer groups, text layers, graphic/background layer"?
    Let me give you an example
    If you have a button (with thumbnail) on the main menu and you want that to open to a specific scene in your movie, then you use a main menu marker on the Timeline at the spot that you want that button to target.
    If I am getting closer to what you seek, then please further clarify the DVD navigational envisioned scheme.
    Thanks.

    Try downloading the trial. It ought to detect that you have a 64-bit system.
    You aren't using Vista, are you? PSE 13 requires at least win 7 and I think a few folks with vista have gotten a similar error message on trying to install it.
