How to transfer images over network?

Hello,
I've built a program in LV 7.1 which taking a snap shot from a USB webcam and save it as JPEG file.
As I already said I am using LV 7.1 with NI VISION 7.1.
My program has to take the picture from the webcam and send it via serial visa connection. (TCP \ IP is also an option)
Regards,
Rotem

There are lots of ways to transfer files over the network. The easiest, in my opinion, is to use TCP/IP and set up a network share or mapped drive between the two machines and then transfer the file by using copy. Of course, there are lots of situations where setting up a network share isn't apropriate.
If network share isn't an option, and you want to use serial, you should probably use a protocol such as Xmodem, Ymodem or Zmodem to transfer the file. LabVIEW doesn't have direct support for these protocols, although I know someone sells (or at least used to sell, I couldn't find it with a quick search) a modem toolkit for LabVIEW with these protocols implemented. There are also ActiveX servers that implement these protocols that you could download or purchase and then access from LabVIEW.
If you want to go the TCP/IP route, an FTP server would be an easy option. You'd need to run an FTP server on the target machine, but then you could just use the LabVIEW FTP VIs or call an FTP terminal through command line or ActiveX.
Of course, you could implement your own file transfer protocol using VISA, datasocket or the TCP/IP VIs, but this last option is quite a bit of work to solve a problem when there are plenty of programs out there to solve it for you. Re-inventing the wheel if you will. While it's not all that difficult to read in a file, transfer it using one of the communication APIs, and then write it back to a file on your client machine, you'll either have to implement, or go without, a lot of the features and safeguards, like error checking, which are built into other file transfer protocols. Also, remember that you'll have to have a LabVIEW application running on each end, so you'll have to implement both halves of the solution (as opposed to options like FTP or the network share, where you only have to run a VI on one computer).
Hope that helps,

  • How to transfer images from Recently added in iOS8?

    Hi
    when I used to download images on my iPad or iPhone, they went to camera roll and they were easy to transfer to iMac with Image Capture when connected with USB. Now Camera Roll is gone in iOS 8 and Image Capture does not see the images on Recently Added. How to transfer images to iMac now under iOS8? I am completely at a loss. How can this be so poorly instructed - I find no info on this and I am sure I am not the only one struggling with this.
    Thanks a lot for any help!

    You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
    See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
    Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device. By the way, once the videos are on Dropbox you can share them with others.

    Then you can send whatever you want in either direction.

  • Urgent help:send image over network using rmi

    hi all,
    i have few question about send image using rmi.
    1) should i use ByteArrayOutputStream to convert image into byte array before i send over network or just use fileinputstream to convert image into byte array like what i have done as below?
    public class RemoteServerImpl  extends UnicastRemoteObject implements RemoteServer
      public RemoteServerImpl() throws RemoteException
      public byte[] getimage() throws RemoteException
        try{
           // capture the whole screen
           BufferedImage screencapture = new Robot().createScreenCapture(new     Rectangle(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize()) );
           // Save as JPEG
           File file = new File("screencapture.jpg");
           ImageIO.write(screencapture, "jpg", file);
            byte[] fileByteContent = null;
           fileByteContent = getImageStream("screencapture.jpg");
           return fileByteContent;
        catch(IOException ex)
      public byte[] getImageStream(String fname) // local method
        String fileName = fname;
        FileInputStream fileInputStream = null;
        byte[] fileByteContent = null;
          try
            int count = 0;
            fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(fileName);  // Obtains input bytes from a file.
            fileByteContent = new byte[fileInputStream.available()]; // Assign size to byte array.
            while (fileInputStream.available()>0)   // Correcting file content bytes, and put them into the byte array.
               fileByteContent[count]=(byte)fileInputStream.read();
               count++;
           catch (IOException fnfe)
         return fileByteContent;           
    }2)if what i done is wrong,can somebody give me guide?else if correct ,then how can i rebuild the image from the byte array and put it in a JLable?i now must use FileOuputStream but how?can anyone answer me or simple code?
    thanks in advance..

    Hi! well a had the same problem sending an image trough RMI.. To solve this i just read the image file into a byte Array and send the array to the client, and then the client creates an imegeIcon from the byte Array containing the image.. Below is the example function ton read the file to a byte Array (on the server) and the function to convert it to a an imageIcon (on the client).
    //      Returns the contents of the file in a byte array.
        public static byte[] getBytesFromFile(File file) throws IOException {
            InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
            // Get the size of the file
            long length = file.length();
            // You cannot create an array using a long type.
            // It needs to be an int type.
            // Before converting to an int type, check
            // to ensure that file is not larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
            if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
                // File is too large
            // Create the byte array to hold the data
            byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)length];
            // Read in the bytes
            int offset = 0;
            int numRead = 0;
            while (offset < bytes.length
                   && (numRead=is.read(bytes, offset, bytes.length-offset)) >= 0) {
                offset += numRead;
            // Ensure all the bytes have been read in
            if (offset < bytes.length) {
                throw new IOException("Could not completely read file "+file.getName());
            // Close the input stream and return bytes
            is.close();
            return bytes;
        }to use this function simply use something like this
    public byte[] getImage(){
    byte[] imageData;
              File file = new File("pic.jpg");
              // Change pic.jpg for the name of your file (duh)
              try{
                   imageData = getBytesFromFile(file);
                   // Send to client via RMI
                            return imageData;
              }catch(IOException ioe){
                           // Handle exception
                           return null; // or whatever you want..
    }and then on the client you could call a function like this
    public ImageIcon getImageFromServer(){
         try{
              // get the image from the RMI server
              byte[] imgBytes = myServerObject.getImage();
              // Create an imageIcon from the Array of bytes
              ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon(imgBytes);
              return ii;
         }catch(Exception e){
              // Handle some error..
              // If yo get here probably something went wrong with the server
              // like File Not Found or something like that..
              e.printStackTrace();
              return null;
    }Hope it helps you..

  • How to transfer images and music from PC (Windows 7) to iPhone?

    Hello:
    Could someone please inform me how can I transfer images and music from a PC (Windows 7) to my iPhone (3GS)?

    Hi, RichardParker,
    I have also meet problems to transfer music from PC to iPhone, and I had solved it now. You can do the following steps,
    1. Copy music to your phone memory
    2. Exported contacts to SD Card (on Android phone) in VCard format
    3. Transfered VCard file from SD Card to PC
    4. Created a Google Account
    5. Opened the Google Account from a browser (on PC), go to Contacts, and then uploaded VCard contacts to the Google account
    6. Configured the iPhone (using a separate Windows user account - so as to allow for importing pictures & videos through iTunes)
    7. Created a "CardDAV" account on the iPhone and synchronised all Contacts
    If you have any question ,you can ask me about iPhone Transfer. And I hope the steps above works.

  • Sending images over network socket

    I'm working on a java web server. So far i have managed to get it to send html documents sucessfully to the client web browser, using a BufferedReader, and a PrintWriter object.
    But how should i send images over the socket? using this method doesn't work. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.
    hornetau

    I did it first. You may pay me $10 and get XM2 WebServer 1.2 from my company.
    Ok, I'll help ya out here...
    HTTP protocol in Internet Explorer is "juiced up" meaning that it does not require HTTP data to be correctly sent. To send an image to be deisplayed...
    <html>
    <img src="theImage.gif"></img>
    </html>
    Now, the server will see a GET request like this...
    GET /theImage.gif HTTP/1.1
    Accepts: Image/jpeg, Image/gif, ...
    Your web server (in the IE case just needs to send)...
    output.println(data);
    The data object is a string, that represents the contents of the image.
    To do that, just get the correct File object, connect reader to it, then loop it
    until the reader is no longer ready (reader.ready() != true), as it loops, just append
    the readLine() command to the end of the data string and it will be ok.
    Now this works on IE just fine, using vary small file sizes due to it being loaded directly into
    memory. Casing problem if your app has only 500K of memory and the file size is 700K, 500-700=-200K, so use only small file sizes with this method.
    There is also the URLConnection and HttpURLConnection classes to use that will do this better, but
    they dont have any real way of getting the file's data - that's still YOUR job.

  • How check data transmission over network?

    Suspect large chunks of data are being sent from iPhone over network late at night (saw it when iPhone was off-net).
    How can I check network activity?

    Internet access basically. Any time you open a browser, Facebook, check your email, send an iMessage,  anything that requires the internet uses data over a cell network when Wifi is not available, unless specified otherwise in Settings->Cellular->Use Cellular Data For.
    GPS is not used with cellular data.  however Apps may need to download Maps to show you the GPS data being received.
    Text Messages are not cellular data. That is a separate service from the carrier.
    Searching for Wifi does not use cellular data. Wifi searching is local, it only looks for routers near you, using the wifi antenna, nothing to look for over cellular.

  • How to transfer images from one iPhoto library to another.

    Hi.  I run my main iPhoto library on an EHD but I also have an iPhoto library on my MBP.  I want to consolidate the two librarys and get rid of all the iamges on the MBP and just have them all on my EHD.  My question is, what is the easiest way to transfer all the contents form my library on my MBP to my library on my EHD and will it copy across all my edited versions? 
    Many thanks in anticipation.....
    Nathan

    To merge two iPhoto libraries and to perserve all your edits, use the paid version of
    iPhoto Library Manager
    Or, if you have access to an Aperture installation, and your iPhoto version is iPhoto 9.3 or later, you can merge iPhoto Libraries in Aperture. Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
    All other methods (exporting from one library and reimporting into the other) will not copy over your books, albums, etc.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    In absence of a Bluetooth or USB connection.. only way to send the pictures is to send to your own E-mail address and then access the mail on your PC.. For that you will need Packet Data plan activated from your operator and do the e-mail setup on your phone..
    Other workaround is to send the picture as an MMS to someone (your friend or family member) who has a mobile with some sort of direct connectivity with the PC.. and from there you may transfer..

  • How to transfer images from iPHoto on one Ext. HD to another

    I have almost 19,000 images in my iPhoto. I backed all of them up to a portable HD for a trip I took last week, so I could use them on my laptop. Of those, there are approximately 1,000 images that are new from the trip,  that I saved onto the iPhoto on the portable HD.
    How can I transfer those new images from the portable HD to my main iPhoto Library, which is on a different external HD?
    Thanks.

    I should have mentioned that my iMac is now updated to 10.8.5, and the laptop is a Macbook Pro using 10.6.8, They both have iPhoto '09. The externals are all formatted correctly for the Macs.

  • Unable to transfer files over network

    Hi all
    I'm trying to transfer some folders from my MBP to my iMac over a wireless network, but I get a series of 3 error messages when I try it.
    First I get "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named "(folder name)"". Options given are Stop or Continue.
    Upon pressing Continue I get the message "The item "(folder name)" contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?" Same options given.
    Pressing Continue one more time, I see "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.
    File sharing is on for both computers, and I'm logged in as the main admin user.

    I just came across this same issue this morning with a client. She is the admin on three Macs, and her kids are all standard users. All three Macs have file sharing enabled, etc. Every user BUT her can pull or send files to any other machine (to their own user folder, of course) but she can only PULL. Trying to send a file or change a file on a remote machine fails with these same three messages.
    I tried the trick of resetting a password or resetting the ACL for her user folder while booting from the install disk, etc. but nothing works. I have to believe that at some point in time when she changed her admin password, something "broke" on all three machines. She is given "access" but for some reason is not seen as a admin.
    I'm a bit stumped. I haven't tried the "new UUID" step, but if it's temp at best, probably won't work. What I am thinking of trying next is changing her shortname and directory name, rebooting, logging in as root, creating a new admin user with her old name and moving all of her files. The problem appears to be at the home folder ACL level so I am hoping a new home folder will fix the problem.
