How do you detect all edges with IMAQ extract contour IV?

I am trying to use the vision development module to detect all of the edges in a pictue and not just one. The idea is by the end I will be able to detect all of the red in the attached image. However the extract contour with only give me one brighter section of the image.
All help greatly apreciated

Hello Dander
I wanted to apologize to you. I saw that an identical issue was being handled by a different engineer and we consolodated that this other individual would handle it. Have you been able to come to a resolution to this problem?
I have this notion that you may be able to find the outer most edge, take note of it's location and cut out the image bounded by that edge and then run the edge detection system again to find the next outer most edge and repeat. Have you made any progress on this issue? I'm happy to provide any further insight into the situation.
Sincerely,
Greg S.

How can you detect irregular edges using the IMAQ add on?

Im currently trying to use the IMAQ add-on for LabView to detect the edges of an irregular image. I have attached the image I am trying to detect the edges of. I have tried using everything in the "locate edges" sub-pannel (i.e.. imaq find edge, imaq find circular edge etc.) but none of them have yielded any favorable results. I think the "IMAQ edge tool 3 IV" might be what im trying to find however I don't understand how to get any usable data out of it.
Thank you, all comments and help are greatly appreciated.

Hi Dander,
I am not sure exactly what types of edges you are trying to acquire, but I used one of the examples from our Example Finder and was able to detect edges on your image. I will say that with the image that you are using, the edges are not very well defined, so you may not get a 100% accurate measurement. The example that I was using uses the IMAQ Edge Tool 3 VI and the example can be found by going in LabVIEW to Help>>Find Examples... From there, you will go to Toolkits and Modules>>Vision>>Functions>>Edge Detection Example.vi. After that, you will remove the build path function and input a path to the image. I hope this helps!

How can you detect all words and phrases in a text document using java?

Is there some java API which would help me extract all words, multi-word phrases, punctuations in an English text document? I would also like to get the order in which they appear with sentence detection. I've been searching for this in java NLP packages, but haven't found anything yet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ajith

I don't understand what you actually want, but if your on about having a file and splitting it up into sentences then i would look into either psudocode or parsing strings, theres not a java api as far as i know that does anything like you want, you would have to write it yourself or find a project someone else has made.

How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?

Like the subject line says: How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?
With the previous version of iTunes, when I plugged in my iPod, I could select the iPod, select podcasts, and manually delete episodes. With the new iTunes, I can't select individual episodes when looking at my iPod through iTunes. Is my only option to Sync? If so, why is that my only option?
This question probably has a simple answer, and I'm just not seeing it.

Rock,
I think I figured out a way to do what you want to do - which is the same way that I use Itunes with my Ipod. (My Itunes libary was destroyed last year so I can no longer auto synch my Ipod as I would lose thousands of songs).
Funnily enough, I discovered this new way of manually moving podcasts while trying to figure out what cpragman was trying to say (I never could - he must be smarter than me, as I couldn't get his method to work).
1. Open up your Itunes in your regular Library view. Choose Pocasts from the left hand side (either in the sidebar if you have that enabled, or from the little "radio" icon if you don't.)
2. Mouse to the podcast you want to place on your Ipod.
3. Right-click it. A long menu will pop up.
4. Move to the "Add to Playlist" option. As you hover, all your playlists will be visible. But at the very top will be the name of your Ipod itself (whatever you named it originally). Choose THAT name, and voila! That podcast will now copy to your Ipod and be easily available when you disconnect.
A nice feature of this method is that you can shift-click several podcasts at once and do the same thing, and all your selected podcasts will copy over (if you're like me and update your Ipod only every few weeks).
Hope this helps - let me know if it works for you!

How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?

How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?
Good afternoon everyone...
THE PROBLEM: Why doesn’t a line with multiple fields WRAP?
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE/WHAT I”D LIKE TO SEE
If I have 2 fields on a line (this is now a hypothetical example and nothing to do with my actual report)….let’s call them field A and field B. And if field A has values of all ‘X’ and field B has values of all ‘Y’…then….the normal case would be (ignore dots – only for spacing):
A……………………… B
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
But what if A is too long? I would want to see B wrap onto the next line like this:
A……………………………………………………B
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYY
YYYYYYYYYYYYY
And similarly….if B is extra long, can the line print as:
A………………………. B
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I don’t want the case where B is long and I get:
A………………… …B…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
………………………..YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I can see how you can wrap an individual field like that…but how can you WRAP a line of[b] fields within the frame so it wraps to the BEGINNING of the frame on next line?
My SPECIFIC CASE
I have a report that I have stripped down to a simple structure for the purposes of this explanation.
My DATA MODEL has the main QUERY (for plant family and species data). The columns of the query are divided into 2 groups. The 1st GROUP contains the family data. Below that is the rest of the species data in a 2nd GROUP.
Linking from the 2nd species group (above) is a new QUERY to extract REGION data based on the common key field. Under this 2nd query is another group with all the REGION columns.
The LAYOUT MODEL has a group frame (the main , base one)
On top of this is a repeating frame based on the 1st group (family data).
On top of this is another repeating frame for the 2nd group (species data).
On top of this is 2 Frames on the same line line. The 1st frame contains columns from the species group .
The 2nd frame on this line is a repeating frame. The PRINT DIRECTION for this frame is ACROSS/DOWN. It repeats details of the REGION where the species is found. These columns come from this group come from the REGION QUERY and GROUP.
All fields on the report line have variable horizontal elasticity.
The problem is that when there is too much data on the line, it does NOT WRAP to the 2nd line.. It TRUNCATES.
Can the line be made to WRAP????..
In my current report, 1 of 2 things is happening:
1) All fields print on the line until it hits the page boundary and then it just stops. Truncated!
2) All fields print on the current line, then Oracle Reports throws a new page to print the REMAINDER of the long, input line
But I would like a LONG line to continue printing onto the following line of the same page.
I have tried all combinations of the elasticity fields and the ‘ADVANCED LAYOUT’ properties.
I have been focussing my attention with this problem on the frames .
We are using REPORT BUILDER V 6.0.8.26.0
Thankyou to anyone who may offer assistance.
Tony Calabrese.

Steve,
you gain 1 thing, but you lose something else!
This thing is SO frustrating!
Hey Steve! Good afternoon.
I've done as you suggested....I have a long text boilerplate item - the only 1 on the line...and it has all the column in it.
So it looks like:
&col1 &col2 &col3 &col4 &col5 etc etc etc
And the line expands nicely to each field's requirements.
And when it gets to the right page boundary...it WRAPS to the next line! Beautiful!!!
The only thing is that...when I had individual fields across the line I was able to create format triggers for those fields. And in doing so I was able to reduce the font and change the justification. I had to do that because some of the fields had to appear superscripted.
So I wanted something like (ignore the dots):
...................................ppppp
AAAA BBBB CCCCC DDDD EEEE FFFFFF
So the field of 'ppppp' appeared slightly higher on the line than the other fields...
I can't see how I can do this with a single TEXT field containing all the &COL values.
Have you ever come across anything like this?
Thankyou again,
Tony Calabrese 12/4/2007

How do you structure a .book with an EDD?

Hi all,
I am learning how to convert legacy, unstructured FM documents into structured FM documents and need some help. So, I created a conversion table from my unstructured documents, created the EDD, applied the EDD to the unstructured document to create a structured document and now need to tweak the EDD.
My question is, what is the correct way to layout the EDD rules for a book using multiple document styles? For example: My book contains a title page, TOC, one or more chapters, a glossary of terms, and one or more appendixes (or is that a appendicies?.)
I am thinking the element rule would look something like this:
Element (Container): BOOK
Valid as the highest-level element.
General rule: TitlePage, TOC, Chapter+, Index, Appendix+
Followed of course by other elements required for the structure. However, I did see an EDD that I am sure was outlined like this (though I can't recall where:)
Element: TitlePage
Valid as the highest-level element.
General rule: Blah blah blah
Element: TOC
Valid as the highest-level element.
General rule: Blah blah blah
Element: Chapter
Valid as the highest-level element.
General rule: Blah blah blah
Element: Index
Valid as the highest-level element.
General rule: Blah blah blah
Element: Appendix
Valid as the highest-level element.
General rule: Blah blah blah
If the second structure is correct, how do you define the Book element? On the Adobe forum, I was told one EDD should be created for all book elements, which makes sense to me.
Okay people, fire away. Remember I am a neophyte in structured FM.
Thanks,
Adam

Thanks Van, that does clear it up for me... a little. My confusion now is, if I set all the book sections as valid at the highest level, then how does the book get structured as the starting point for the sections contained within it? I have tried to find a sample EDD detailing exactly this, but to no avail - my search brought up courses where this is covered, but not the actual EDD structure.
When I try to structure the book with the EDD, the book comes up red with its children elements looking just fine. Ahh! You have to love that learning curve.

Subject: How do you structure a .book with an EDD?
Adam,
Following up on some of Russ's sage advice, you asked:

do you define the Book element? On the Adobe forum, I was told one EDD
should be created for all book elements, which makes sense to me.
As Russ said, your BOOK element looks fine. Not sure how far you have gotten, but when you open a document file that is in the book, its root element will be Chapter, TitlePage, Appendix, etc. That is why you have to declare each of these as being valid at the highest level. When you click in the book file window and look at the structure view, you will see that the BOOK element is the root element, and its content will be TitlePage, TOC, Chapter, Chapter,...etc. The book and all of its component files have the same EDD. The definitions for the BOOK element, as well as the TitlePage, TOC, Chapter, etc elements are all contained in the same EDD. I hope this helps to answer your question.

In AS3 how can you detect if someone pulls their camera out of the USB port?

In AS3 if the SWF gets a hold of someone's camera successfully and they start streaming video across and everything, but then mid-stream, either they accidentally wiggle their camera out of the USB port, or the camera just sort of breaks down, or something else like that, how could you detect it from that user's side? I've tried using event listeners and also polling different variables every five seconds, but neither has worked; none of the public properties of Camera or its events seem to act funny at all when something like that happens. And apparently you can't just keep scanning the computer for devices (for good reason, I guess).
Is there something I'm missing here? Is there a way to detect from a user's copy of a SWF (FP or AIR, but much more importantly FP) when their camera has effectively stopped as the result of something going wrong, such as them wiggling it out of the computer by mistake? If so how? Thanks!

Run your code and disconnect your camera. What are the common properties of it? Does your stream stop? Return only a specific color frame? Those things are usable to detect it but you're right in saying you can't detect much more than a loss of packets from a NetStream object.

Im sorry but I figured it out now. I hate when you figure something out right after you do something extreme like signup for a profile here and post a question. Well to those who want the answer all in one shot there are 2 solutions for me.
1. Make sure Safari is updated completely. You can check by clicking SAFARI> ABOUT SAFARI
Safari 5.0.5 gave me this problem but the new update is 5.1.2
2.Glims - Free ad on for Safari which enables you to view you window in COMPLETE full screen at all times, as well as maximise your window to fill all empty space (makes so you dont have to worry about accidentally clicking on your desktop which I do all the time lol). You can use this option once Glims is installed simply by clicking on
SAFARI> Full Screen
or
SAFARI> Maximise Window Size
By doing Full Screen mode you can then click on the full screen capability on the website you are on

HT1296 How do you put all music on Ipod back onto a previously crashed computer in which the original music files were not able to be restored?

Hi, HOW DO YOU PUT ALL MUSIC FROM IPOD BACK ONTO A PREVIOUSLY CRASHED COMPUTER IN WHIHC ALL MUSIC FILES WERE UNABLE TO BE RESTORED.
My computer crashed a few months ago and my IT guys were not able to restore my music files.. at least I can't find them. When I log into Itunes, all of my music and play lists appear but when I click to play a song in Itunes on computer, it says the files can not be found. My Ipod obviously has all of my music but I'd like to add more (without deleting what I've got on there) and to copy back whats on my Ipod back to my computer. If I plug together and my computer sync then I will loose all music... needing detailed instructions please.

from what i understand, the procecess is similar on both mac and pc, so i'll try help you here. have you set your preferences to "automatically update all"?
Yes i have.
if this isn't working, maybe try moving one that you are certain is in the correct format, manually. import it from scratch to your itunes, and then copy it to the ipod.
If i click 'import files' the only files it comes up with are text file. Should it be doing this?' So the only files i can import are written documents :/
If i select 'add files' it dosnt add them to my libary at all.
I tryed what you said, i deleted my movies then loaded one into my libary which i no is in the right format but it still said that it is unable to put into my ipod.
Thanks for trying to help by the way :]

How do you highlight several cells with the mouse in numbers

how do you highlight several cells with the mouse in numbers

Hi David,
Using only the mouse, you can select a contiguous range of cells using the method described by dwb.
For larger (but still contiguous) ranges you might prefer this method:
Click the first (top left) cell of the desired selection.
Scroll to the last (botom right) cell of the desired selection.
Shift-click the bottom right cell to select it, and all of the cells in the rectangular array defined by this and the top left cell selected in step 1.
To select two or more non-contiguous cells:
Click on the first to select it.
Command-click on another to add it to the selection.
Repeat as necessary.
Regards,
Barry
