Help with registering (aligning) two partially overlapping images

I have been digging into the JAI / Java2D algorithms, and I am looking for an algorithm for analyzing two partially overlapping images and returning the coordinates at which to render the second image relative to the first image. The desired end result is to be able to create a mosaic from a series of overlapping tiles. Is there a simple function, transform or library that I've overlooked?
Thanks.

Thanks - it is an interesting problem, but it needn't really be intelligent. One could think of it like stitching a panorama from a series of individual images. I know the relationship between image A and image B (A is to the left of B). There is about 50 pixels of overlap (approximately the 50 right pixels in image A are on the left of image B). I just need a way to find the exact positioning / overlap of image B relative to image A, and thought that brute force is not the proper approach, given that this may be a problem others have seen or conquered.If it were only that simple, and your example is exactly the one I was thinking of. The problem that comes to my mind is one of perspective. You have to take into consideration a spherical projection of the images that are being matched, not to mention the dynamic elements of the scenes. There has to be some sort of heuristic that allows you to find a match that is good enough, that is within some level of tolerance, and this won't be easy to do. But again, I am no graphics expert. I hope someone smarter than I comes along with a decent solution.

  • Aligning two cross-dissolved images in Canvas

    I have two head-shot photos that are covered by a cross-dissolve. The effect creates sort of a "poor man's" morph between the two faces.
    After rendering the sequence, the overlapped images are easily distinguished in the Canvas at the mid point of the dissolve.
    However, when I move either image in the Motion tab, in order to better align the facial features from each photo, the Canvas images become double images of themselves and it is impossible to line the two up. Re-rendering makes them clear again until, of course, I move either image.
    Is there an easier/better way to reposition images while simultaneously checking their alignment during a cross-dissolve?

    I would try a hand-made cross dissolve. Instead of using the standard transition, in your case you have better control if you move either clip to a different video track (say: clip2 to v2), than drag the right hand of clip1 in v1 by say 0,5 sec to the right, and left hand of clip2 in v2 by 0,5 sec to the left. Now the two clips overlap by 1 sec and using the opacity keyframes you can fade down clip1 and fade up clip2 (1 sec each) to emulate cross dissolve.
    And now you can play with Motion on either clip without need for rendering (if you HW allows it...)

  • Help with reducing the size of an image but keeping the quality

    Hello,
    I am wondering how do I resize an image but keep the quality. I am creating a folder design for work and I want to include 6 images on the back each of 156px x 118px.
    The images I have are slightly different in size but for example sake one of the images that I have is 225px x 158px. The quality is very poor when I reduce the size.
    I have tried changing the ppi to 72 and to 300, I have also tried resizing all in one go and in a number of goes and I have tried the bicubic sharpener but I have just had no luck with it.
    I am wondering if anyone can help with this,
    Thanks
    Tracy

    Hi Tracy,
    A couple of questions:
    I am creating a folder design for work...
    So this is printed? How large? Pixels are not a unit-of-measure for print.
    If for print, you are looking at ppi of 300 or higher AT PRINT SIZE.
    So, say you want a 3in x 4in picture. That would mean your original would have to be at least 900px X 1200px. (ie 300ppi x width, 300 ppi x height)
    If your original files are not at least that resolution.. . it is hard to add quality after the fact. Unless your are working with vector art.
    I have tried changing the ppi to 72 and to 300, I have also tried resizing all in one go
    Be sure to do that on copies of original. Keep in mind the PPI number by itself is completely meaningless. It only has use in describing a to be printed image when combined with the print size.

  • Hoping for a little help with registering and hosting questions.

    i was hoping i could get some information from some of you
    that have personal experience with registering your site and
    picking a hosting provider.
    im wondering what the difference is between say....Dot5
    hosting at 5.00 a month and .. network solutions at 29.99 a month?
    my local provider here in sacramento wants 30 a month as
    well......299.oo a yr.
    should I go with a local provider? or go with ... say GoDaddy
    or some other company?
    also, registering. Im about to register my site name.
    however, some companies include it in the "packages" they offer.
    should I register it myself or let the hosting company I choose do
    it?
    sorry for the newb questions....but I cant find any good info
    on this and I was hoping maybe some of you that have already done
    this to chime in.
    thanks in advance.

    If you want almost all of the below features for about $9.00
    a month go to
    Gate.com and pick your package. I use them for several web
    sites and have
    never been dissatisfied with their services or features.
    They will register your domain and I've done it both ways,
    but have never
    had problems with them but it does make a lot of sense to
    register it
    yourself and keep full ownership....

    Thanks for the help in advance.

    You're not getting any help because your HTML & CSS code is pretty messy.  It's like asking an interior designer to make over a very untidy bedroom.  It's not going to happen until you clean things up.
    I would start with just the basic HTML code like this.  Avoid those redundant style10, style19, style108 tags.    You really don't need them.  HTML selectors provide you with all the hooks you need for most things.  Also, you should run a spell check.  I saw errors but I didn't fix them.

    <h2>About Us</h2>
    <p>We are an online non-profit organisation who are continously increasing in numbers, thanks to you guys. With multiple articles providing information into PC personalisation, Problem removal, Tips &amp; tweaks and general help you are sure to find something helpful to you. </p>
    <p>We have a motto 'Technology Explained.' and this is exactly what we wish to stand by. We offer in-depth tutorials that focus on providing that little-bit of information which no other site will include. </p>
    <p>Our goal is to combine multiple sites, so that you can receive more specific information which no other site will provide. In saying this, we certainly don't just copy and paste other peoples articles, but may use some of the concepts from other sites with our own wording or interpretation. If some of our wording alligns up with another website this is likely because the topic was broad and every website will have similar information.</p>
    <h2>General Questions and Answers:</h2>
    <!--Q&A definition lists-->
    <dl>
    <dt>Can I email you guys?</dt>
    <dd>You certainly can. But on a busy day you should probably post your thoughts in the forums. We aim to answer every relevant email within 24 hours. In the forums we generally rely on other users to help each other out, but we may step in if we know the answer.</dd>
    </dl>
    <dl>
    <dt>When and why did you start this site?</dt>
    <dd>This site was started on the 12th of the 7th, 2014. The intention behind this development was to create a website that would be functional with a variety of articles for many users. Worst case scenario, the authour would have a neat offline guide for all of his problems. </dd>
    </dl>
    <dl>
    <dt>Would  you be able to write articles for us?</dt>
    <dd>More than likely, just contact us and we will consider your inquiry.</dd>
    </dl>
    <dl>
    <dt>Can I write articles for you?</dt>
    <dd>Less than likely, the articles on this site are in the copy of one person making access to others difficult. Pointing out clear influencies and spelling errors is appreciated. <a href="create-a-page.html" class="style60">Click here for more information.</a></dd>
    </dl>
    <dl>
    <dt>Can I republish your articles?</dt>
    <dd>No way. Making this website took ages and because of that substancial amount of time spent, every single sentence on this sight is copyright. In saying this though some topics may be broad, and there may be only one way to word the situation at hand for example opening the start menu is generally something which will sound exactly the same on multiple sites.</dd>
    </dl>
    <dl>
    <dt>Where do you guys get these ideas from?</dt>
    <dd>Most of these ideas come from what we had once searched up, user suggestions, or what we think other people might search up. This was done with the intention of linking multiple searches into one site, that many people would have the ability to  access. </dd>
    </dl>
    <dl>
    <dt>How many people are making this site?</dt>
    <dd>At this point, there is one person developing the site, which is why all helpful contributions made by internet strangers is appreciated.</dd>

  • Need help with a basic script to resize image then resize the canvas

    I am new to photoshop scripting, and have come across a need to force an image to be 8"x10" at 300dpi (whether it is vertical or horizontal)
    I need to maintain the correct orientation in the file, so an Action will not work, I believe I have to implement a script to accomplish this.
    I have the below script so far, but I am not certain of how to input the variables / paramters
    doc = app.activeDocument;
    if (doc.height > doc.width) doc.resizeImage("2400 pixels","3600 pixels", "300", "BICUBIC");
    if (doc.height > doc.width) doc.resizeCanvas("2400 pixels","3000 pixels", "MIDDLECENTER");
    if (doc.height < doc.width) doc.resizeImage("3600 pixels","2400 pixels",300,"BICUBIC");
    if (doc.height < doc.width) doc.resizeCanvas(3000,2400,"MIDDLECENTER");
    When I run this script, I get the following error:
    Error 1245: Illegal argument - argument 4
    - Enumerated value expected
    Line: 5
    if (doc.height < doc.width) doc.resizeImage("3600 pixels","2400 pixels",300,"BICUBIC");
    The fact that its failing on lien 5 lets nme know that I have the "If" portions of my script correct, I just dont know how to accomplish the functions correctly.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Brian

    I know I'm late here but it seems to me your trying to automate a 8"x10 or 10"x8 300DPI  print.
    To do that you must first crop your image to a 4:5 aspect ratio to prevent distortion unless your shooting with a 4" by 5" camera.   I wrote a Plugin script a couple years ago that could help you do a centered crop.  You could do the whole process by recording a simple Photoshop action that uses two  Plugin Scripts only four steps would be needed.
    Step 1 Menu File>Automate>AspectRatioSelection  (My script based of Adobe Fit Image Plugin script) Set 4:5 Aspect ratio, center,  Rectangle, Replace, no feather. Llike Fit Image this script woks on both Landscape and Portrait images. The Selection will be correct for the images orientation.
    Step 2 Menu Image>Crop
    Step 3 Menu File>Automate>Fit Image set 3000 PX height and 3000 PX width the Image will be Resample so its longest side will be 3000 pixels.  Adobe Fit Image Plugin Script always uses BICUBIC resampling.  I have a modified version of Fit Image  that uses Bicubic Sharper whebndownsizing and BicubicSmoother when up sizing.
    Step 4 Menu Image>Size un check resample set resolution to 300 DPI.
    When you play the actions the Script Dialogs will not be displayed and the setting use when you recorded the action will ne used.
    The Plugin Script are included in my crafting actions package:
    http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/JJMacksCraftingActions.zip
    Contains:
    Action Actions Palette Tips.txt
    Action Creation Guidelines.txt
    Action Dealing with Image Size.txt
    Action Enhanced via Scripted Photoshop Functions.txt
    CraftedActions.atn Sample Action set includes an example Watermarking action
    Sample Actions.txt Photoshop CraftedActions set saved as a text file. This file has some additional comments I inserted describing how the actions work.
    12 Scripts for actions

  • Help with registering multiple XML versions with Oracle 9i

    Hello,
    I have a fundamental question. Probably someone had been in similar situation and thought of the best way to handle.
    Our product has about 15 versions that we need to support.
    Each version publishes its 'xmlschema' and is slightly different from the previous version.
    Now if I register each schema version with oracle9i it will auto-create tables for each version (even for xml elements/attributes that are same across different versions).
    2 options that we thought of so far to handle this is
    -Combine all 15 versions schema's into 1 super-set schema and register with oracle db. Fields/elements, a version does not use will be empty
    -Use XML 'extensions' in various xml schema, such that each version in 'extended' from the previous one and keeps on adding its additions attributes/elements. My question is then if I register these 15 'extended' schemas with oracle, will it create common DB tables per version or it will still create unique tables for all 15 versions.
    Anyone has any better suggestions or comments to handle this situation ?
    thanx
    -Manu

    But I'm still stuck on the problem. It still doesn't read the second object. There is no second object.
    The code is quite big, any specific portion would be helpful, please let me know?This is a minimal load and print for an XML bean:import java.io.*;
    import java.beans.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class LoadAndPrintXMLBean {
      // run with your file name as first argument
      public static void main (String[] args) {
        try {
          XMLDecoder d = new XMLDecoder(
            new BufferedInputStream(
              new FileInputStream(args[0])));
          Object result = d.readObject();
          d.close();
          System.out.println(result);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
          ex.printStackTrace();
    }For your input, it prints[[INDEX_KEY], [7]]You have one object, a vector, containing two vectors:
      The first child vector contains the string "INDEX_KEY".
      The second child vector contains the string "7".
    This matches the structure of your XML<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <java version="1.4.1_01" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">

    If anyone could please help me out that would be AWESOME!  I've attached pics of the background & I'm using Infusionsoft email builder which allows for HTML widgets.  I have a code that I use for my landing pages & webforms which works, tried that but no dice!
    Any help would be much appreciated - I'm an html newbie!
    Here is the code that I use for landing pages & works great, tried it for the email & it was a fail:

    thanks in advance!

    Not sure what you expect. Your URL is absolute and pointing to a local file resource. It's not a proper relative HTML link. Beyond that it's toatlly unclear how you actually plan to load your image and where they are hosted, so nobody can tell you anything. Either way, there is an obviously painful lack of understanding of even the most basic web techniques, so the best advise anyone would give you is to spend some time with a web search and actualyl learn some of that stuff...

  • Need Help With An Application That Produces Live Images Within Tilelists

    At the moment I have an application which is meant to produce live thumbnail images of websites. Currently how it does this is a html component (myhtml) loads websites via it's location property changing from website to website and upon fully loading of each site a "snapshot" is taken of the html component and saved as a bitmap and applied as the source of an image corresponding to that particular site (abcnewsimage and bbcnewsimage). However I now need to insert these snapshots within the 'icon' properties of 2 array collections (myTilelistAArrayCollection and myTilelistBArrayCollection) which act as dataproviders to populate 2 tilelists (mtTilelistA and myTilelistB).
    Basically I need the same images to appear automatically within the tilelists the way they do in the 2 images as the snapshots are taken by applying the same bitmaps into the currently empty 'icon' properties of the 2 tilelists i.e. the icon of the ABC News Item of both array collections must be the same as the abcnewsimage and appear as it appears and the same for the BBC News Item icon being the same as the bbcnewsimage picture as that appears.
    It should look like the images are appearing in the tilelist at the same time as they are appearing in the regular images. What will I need to put into the icon properties to do this?
    I hope this makes sense and if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. :-)

    Cheers Flex harUI. From what I can see superimage is mainly used to keep images at better quality. What I'm concerned with is having the images set within the 'icon' properties of the 2 tilelists AS they are set within their specific images. I've tried databinding by doing this for example:-
    {id:
    "ABC New Item", label:"ABCNews", icon:"{abcnewsimage.source}"},
    I hoped that would cause the icon field of the array collection to be populated by the source of the abcnewsimage so that as the abcnewsimage is populated by the snapshot that is taken of the abcnews website the icon field of the abc news item in the array collection would be too so that furthermore the tilelists would then be populated by these images. Basically as each snapshot appears in it's specfic image it needs to be loaded into the icon property of the array collection too. In the end the icons should look as if they are appearing within both the tilelists the same way as they are appearing within the images if that makes sense. The images should be loading within the tilelist one at a time as they are in the regular image components.

  • Need Help With An Application Which Produces Live Images Within Tilelists

    At the moment I have an application which is meant to produce live thumbnail images of websites. Currently how it does this is a html component (myhtml) loads websites via it's location property changing from website to website and upon fully loading of each site a "snapshot" is taken of the html component and saved as a bitmap and applied as the source of an image corresponding to that particular site (abcnewsimage and bbcnewsimage). However I now need to insert these snapshots within the 'icon' properties of 2 array collections (myTilelistAArrayCollection and myTilelistBArrayCollection) which act as dataproviders to populate 2 tilelists (mtTilelistA and myTilelistB).
    Basically I need the same images to appear automatically within the tilelists the way they do in the 2 images as the snapshots are taken by applying the same bitmaps into the currently empty 'icon' properties of the 2 tilelists i.e. the icon of the ABC News Item of both array collections must be the same as the abcnewsimage and appear as it appears and the same for the BBC News Item icon being the same as the bbcnewsimage picture as that appears.
    It should look like the images are appearing in the tilelist at the same time as they are appearing in the regular images. What will I need to put into the icon properties to do this?
    I hope this makes sense and if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated.

  • I need help with the shape matching of this image

    I am currently using NI Vision Assisstant to help me with the logic for the VI code. So currently I have 3 diagonal rectangles and I cannot figure out how to find the shape of each of them. Attached is a screenshot of the image I have. I have it going through a Luminosity filter and then a frequency filter and then I converted it to a binary image... now I am at this point: If anyone could help me find the rectangles... that would be greatly appreciated. I am sorry for such a basic quesiton.
    Thank you,

    Hello Yousuf,
    There are quite a few functions that you might find useful for locating rectangles in a binarized image.  Possibilities include Shape Matching, Pattern Matching, Geometric Matching, Shape Detection, and more.  The difficulty that you will run into is the fact that your retangles are not straight edged, but are also not curved edges.  Many of the shape matching tools look for straight edges and right angles, which are not present in your image.  As such, it may be easiest to first use edge detecting tools to locate your edges, then use measurement tools to calculate area or distance.
    I played around with your image briefly, and was able to localize the edges to within an approximation.  I used the Clamp (Rake) tool to achieve the edge localization seen in the attached screen shots.  As you can see in ClampRect.png, the edge lines drawn aren't terribly accurate, but the other images show the points used, and with some playing around you should be able to find a better approximation of the rectangle edge.  Hope this helps!

  • Help with registering VB ActiveX EXE

    I have an ActiveX EXE that I've compiled and used on 2 of the 3 TS 3.1 systems here. We updated all the files from SourceSafe to pull in all the changes, on the 3rd system and found that the "TestListForm.EXE" wasn't registered on that system (WinXP). I tried the "regsvr32 TestListForm.exe" but XP said that it wasn't a "DLL or OCX" and ignored it. I also made sure that I pointed to the correct file in the Active-X step that calls the file within TestStand.
    It wasn't until I recompiled the EXE on that computer (within VB) that it worked correctly.
    Is there another way that the ActiveX EXE files need to be registered into the XP system?
    There are a few more systems that we will eventually need to install this ActiveX EXE on that won't have VB.
    Mike

    To register an ActiveX exe, call the exe from the command line with the commandline parameter /RegServer.
    For example:
    MyServer.exe /RegServer
    Hope this helps,
