Reliable images using 1394 cameras?

WinXp. Labveiw 7.0. 1394 (1.5 driver).
Labview exampe: Low Level Grab for 1394.
Basler A601f camera. Problem: Horizontal frame fragmenting is easily visible when there is motion in the image.
We tried using the occurance function to over come this. No improvement.
Question 1: How to fix Labveiw example code to get reliable images of moving objects using 1394 cameras?

Hello larryb.
Thanks for contacting us. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'horizontal frame fragmenting,' so I will speculate that it just means that your images are skewing in some fashion when there is motion in your image.
Are you seeing this behavior when you do a grab acquisition in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX)? If so, what is the frame rate of your camera?
Depending on whether you see the behavior in MAX or not, we may or may not be able to do anything to the LabVIEW code to fix the issue. Take a look at your processor usage when you run the example as well to see if maybe it has anything to do with that.
Again, if you can clarify 'horizontal frame fragmenting' a little bit, as well as if you see the issue in MAX, then we can go fro
m there!

How to Snap/Grab Image from 1394 camera and display the Image in CWIMAQVIEWER in VC++ ?

Hi,
I have : - IMAQ1394 2.0.1
              - NI Vision 7.1
In VB, I can Snap/Grab Image from 1394 camera and display the Image in CWIMAQVIEWER :
    Dim Image0 As New CWIMAQImage
    imaq1394SnapCW(sid0,Image0)
    CWIMAQViewer1.Attach Image0
Now,How can I do this in VC++6.0?
    I tried:
              C_CWIMAQImage m_imgViewer1;
              m_imgViewer1 = m_CWIMAQVision1.CreateCWIMAQImage();
              m_CWIMAQViewer1.Attach(m_imgViewer1);
              imaq1394SnapCW(Sid,m_imgViewer1); <--there is no "imaq1394SnapCW "function in VC++,why?
    Please help me!
    Thank you!

For people looking back at these old posts regarding
CWIMAQViewer - it was not made to be used in the C environments and is made
for VB.
Refer to the following locations for displaying images in C
environments:

hey,i have made the code plz chk it and do rep soon as ma project sbmission date is very near =((
i am snaping an image from the web cam then comparing it with the red colored jpg image made in paint.
the jpg image is converted to give input image to imaq match vi.but after the comparison it gives the same output.
on the front pannel the snapped image is displayed,the red colored image that is converted in to its respective pixels is displayed and the image that is obtained after cheking the image in the draw fails vi...the pic converted to pixels is all the time displayed.and the pass/fail icon always denotes one pass led on..plz chk the code =((.
also can u provide me some guide line for using thr hough transform for the red color detection in lab view..i dont have to import the matlab code..i have to purely make it using the lb view libraries.
also one more request pl rep me regularly as i really need your golden piece of advice for ma success.

Unable to Capture an image using Native Camera

Hi all,
Please help me out.
I am getting an issue but unable to find out its solution.
I am watching a video on my mobile phone N96 and open the CAM pressing right side button continue, Camera gets opened and i am able to take a snap.
Same functionality i am doing while i am playing a video from my java application. I play a video through my application, while video is running , i open CAM pressing right side button. Camera gets opened. When i click to capture a snap, camera captures a snap but this is not that picture,which was shown by camera while capturing. It captures my video snap which was running on my application.
Please suggest me, is this property of Nokia mobile phone's camera or any defect on that.
Thanks,
Ashutosh

No , I am not using screen captured application.
I am playing a video from my application, when vedio is running, then i open my native camera to capture a snap after pressing right side button.

How to achieve image using digital camera of USB-type interface through IMAQ PCI-1424 board.

1.Is it doable?
2.How to connect USB-type interface with IMAQ PCI-1424 board.
Thanks!

See the Developer's Zone (www.ni.com/zone) for specifics on USB (search for "USB").
"1.Is it doable?"
- In short "no".
- USB is similar to FireWire (IEEE 1394), and no framegrabber is required. We offer an IEEE 1394 IMAQ driver to interface FireWire cameras with LabVIEW & CVI.
"2.How to connect USB-type interface with IMAQ PCI-1424 board."
- You will need a USB driver for the camera. The 1424 is not required.

I am trying to softproof an image using a CMYK .icc file. I sent an image from LR 5 to PS CC 2014, opened the Camera Raw FIlter, but the hyperlink to access workflow is not showing up in the CR dialogue box... Any ideas why this might be?

Capture an image using the web camera from a web application

Hi All,
Could anyone please share the steps what have to be followed for capture an image using the web camera from a web application.
I have a similar requirement like this,
1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.
Please share the details like, what can be used and how it can be used etc...
Thanks,
Suman

1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)There's not really any good way to do this with JMF. You'd have to somehow create a JMF web-start application that will install the native JMF binaries, and then kick off the capture device scanning code from the application, and then scan through the list of devices found to get the MediaLocator of the web cam.
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.You'd probably be displaying a "preview" window and then you'd just want to capture the image. There are a handful of ways you could capture the image, but it really depends on your situation.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.You can find out how to do this on google.
All things told, this application is probably more suited to be a FMJ (Freedom for Media in Java) application than a JMF application. JMF relies on native code to capture from the web cams, whereas FMJ does not.
Alternately, you might want to look into Adobe Flex for this particular application.

I used to send photos from my Lumix Tz-40 camera directly to my iPad using the cameras WIFI. Since I installed IOS7 the connection no longer works. Anyone got any ideas. I have already installed the latest version of Panasonic's Image App (1.7.1)

I used to send photos from my Lumix Tz-40 camera directly to my iPad using the camera's WIFI. It was all working well until I installed IOS7. The connection no longer works. The camera still keeps the iPad in its connection history. The camera's wifi network still appears when I select a WiFi network from the iPad but the Wifi status icon never appears on the iPad. So the connection is never made.
Anyone got any ideas. I have already installed the latest version of Panasonic's Image App (1.7.1)

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

Using Labview to save image from PCO camera(12 bit images)

Hello,
I have labview 8.5 version in my Winxp. I have PCO camera (pixelfly). So far I know that it saves 12 bit images. I used normal save pattern of labviewas png,tiff or jpeg. As .pngit saves the images as 32 bit and as bmp it takes 8 bit images. But the picture quality is not good. I used IMAQ to take single picture and to save it I used IMAQ Write File 2. I used the following mechanism.
1) IMAQ ImageTo Array--> To unsigned word integer--->IMAQ ArrayToImage--->IMAQ Write File 2---> save it as .png file.
Please inform where I made the problem. Why the picture is not as like as 12 bit images of PCO Camera.
Thanks,
Stuttgart University,Germany.

IMAQ Create.vi supports Grayscale(I16) and RGB (U64). Both should be suitable for 12Bit Greyscale.
Documentation of "IMAG Write File 2.vi" says:
IMAQ Write TIFF File 2
Writes an image to a file in TIFF format.
Note 16-bit monochrome images and 64-bit RGB images are nonstandard extensions of the TIFF standard. Most third-party applications cannot read 16-bit monochrome or 64-bit RGB TIFF files. For compatibility with most applications, write 16-bit monochrome images or 64-bit RGB images into PNG files.

Problems acquiring and saving multiple camera images using a switch with GigE cameras

Hi Folks,
We are having an issue with connecting 6 GigE cameras via an Ethernet switch. We can acquire and store individual cameras but once we increase the number of cameras we end up with jumpy avi files.
Each camera has been physically labelled and attached to the switch, so camera 1 is attached to port 1, which then corresponds to Cam1 in MAX. When recording multiple files what appears to happen is that the avi file from cam1 actually has images from multiple cameras, as if cam1 is being renamed/allocated on each frmae and each time a different camera is allocated. How can we fix this?
We are new to this so any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Cathy

I think your problem is caused by using the same image name on each instance of Imaq create. "Grab and Save to AVI Acq" being the string you are using. I am pretty sure If you make each image name unique you wont get image referance problems.

Is it possible to process raw camera images using PSE 9?

Can someone advise me if it is possible to process camera raw images using Photoshop Elements 9.

That depends. Photoshop Elements 9 is compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.5. So the files from any camera supported by that version of Camera Raw can be opened. Camera Raw 6.5 is quite old, and a lot of new cameras have been released since then. Newer versions of Camera Raw are required to open those images. But you can download the latest DNG converter and create digital negative copies of raw files from newer cameras. And those DNG files, which contain the raw image data, could be opened with what you have now.

Has anybody used the Camera RAW filter on an OpenEXR, HDR or similar floating point color image?

I often work on floating point images rendered out of 3ds Max, specifically OpenEXRs, and I have been lately using the Camera RAW filter to do some image adjustments. There is one problem though, the float image does not load correctly into Camera RAW. It looks slightly over-exposed when loaded and it is nearly impossible to get it back to "scratch". Is Camera RAW not fully float capable? Camera RAW is a drunkard compositor's dream when doing color corrections on a floating point image, especially an image rendered out of a 3D application such as 3ds Max or Maya. Any thoughts?

For what it's worth I have seen this going back a loooong time. I've posted on the subject as well and have never gotten a solid answer. It just appears as though Photoshop considers it "already open, so no need to open it twice". I believe an uninitialized variable could be involved, since it's intermittent.
I have found a couple of choices for workarounds or workflow changes...
1. You can save the first-opened document opened (e.g., as a .PSD) somewhere. Then reopening the raw file will always open a second document.
2. You could consider opening the raw file just once, duplicating it as a second layer, then use Camera Raw as a filter. Obviously that doesn't avail Camera Raw of the raw data, but its usefulness depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

Image from a camera using a video converter to USB

I tring to capture in my LabView app the alive image of a camera that is transmitted to a Tv tuner. I´m using a video converter to USB (PC) I don´t need to process the image I just want to see the image of the camera alive.
When I use a Microsoft LifeCam (usb) conected directely to the usb port I can see the image in my app.
When I use Windows Movie Maker to see the image of my remote camera I can see the image alive.
But, when I use my app with the remote camera it doesn´t work. I can´t see the image.
My app is is attached bellow. As you can see I´m usig Imaqdx and LabView Fall 2011.
Someone could help me?
Thanks in a advance.

Dear Christian,
I don´t know if my device is directshow compatible. May be not, because I tried to see the image using NI Measurement & Automation and I couldn't, besides the device appears in NI-Imaq devices list.
But before this Labview app I made the one that is attached, using labview 8.6 and Imaq for USB. It woked right but because of the property page object every time the app ran a window was open and no matter was checked ok or cancel it worked in the same way. I thought using Imaqdx objects I didn't have this undesirable window. Do you know why it worked using Imaq for USB objects and it didn't using Imaqdx objects?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using iphone 4s, whenever i take a photo using front camera mirror view of the image is NOT saved

I'm using iphone 4s, whenever i take a photo using front camera mirror view of the image is NOT saved. i.e, left becomes right & vice versa. To elaborate if you take a photo with your left hand index finger on your left chin it shows up as though i'm holding my right hand index finger on my right chin. This was not the case initially, i suspect this happened after photoshop app. was installled. Can someone assist?

Ok!! After checking couple of my friends phone i realise this is BY design!!.. i still don't understand the logic behind this though.Nevertheless this ain't a bug!!!
