Single image by one hardware trigger

I am using Basler Camera Gige vision sca640-70gc with real time EVS and vision builder i use MAX for putting camera settings. when i put settings of camera as mentioned in the manual to get single image per hardware trigger it gives me time out error.
hardware trigger comes every 3.5 second what camera acquisition control settings i have to use to get the desired result?and what is more setting i have to put in my consideration.

Hi frank
I think you are facing a bit troubles please ensure these things
1.Put your camera in hardware trigger mode.
2.Set your timeout period too long.
3.In acquisition mode select the continuous immediate mode (You will get only one image when the camera triggers).
4.If you getting more images its because of your camera triggers.
I think this will help you...

How can one place a single image on a spread? CS3-MAC

Hi all,
i How can one place a single image on a spread? CS3-MAC
A very straight forward question I think. I just never did it before. Anyone knows of a fast technique of doing this? I have to make 70+ images this way. Could it be scripted?
thanx in advance
Michael

You'll need to be more specific. Placing a single image on one spread is drop-dead simple. File > Place, choose file, click (or click-and-drag) to place, scale and position as desired. You can ask about scripting in the
scripting forum.
You might not need to script this to get efficient use of time. Make a picture frame on the master spread and then insert 140 pages (70 2-page spreads) based on that master. File > Place, and select all 70 files. (They need to be in one folder. Click on the top file, scroll down, lick on the bottom file.) Zoom out and click once on each spread to place each image. Should work faster that writing, testing, debugging, and running a script.

Import a single image/video

From my iPhone, can I import single images/videos one at a time?
Example: on a PC, I can view every image and video file individually. After preview, I can copy and paste only the images/videos that I want, one at a time.
How can I do this same process on a mac?
ALSO, when pluging the iPhone into the mac using the included USB cable, the iPhone does NOT show up in the Finder. What's frustrating is that my iPod and ALL my flash drives DO show up in the finder.
Please help. Thanks.

Are you saying you want the same image in more than one frame or you
want the one image to span multiple frames?
If the latter, create the frames and then turn them into a compound
path. Place the image into that.

Is it possible to use Aperture to make a new image from two existing ones--ie, in a new jpg? I essentially want to create a collage that I can then print as a single image, rather than in a book. Any advice will be most welcome!

(Added)
The main point is that Aperture is used to make digital negatives as good as they can be (for the uses you define), but it does not ADD date to your digital negatives, nor does it produce NEW combination files. For those tasks you need a Graphics program.

Iphoto 11 import problem. My camera is importing photos as 4x4. I see a single image in the preview window, but the import is 4x4. I just imported from a different camera and that one was OK. I can't find any setting to change to fix this problem

I am having a new problem in IPhoto'11. An older camera is importing photos as 4x4 (16 copies to a single image). In the preview pane the photos are fine (single copy per image). I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting but the problem repeats. Earlier I had a successful import from a different camera.
I can't find any settings to change this. Help!

Sorry but I do not understand your question
As to importing iPhoto simply copies the photos to the iPhoto llibrary - no changes of any sort are made

Multiple iframes on One Page Trigger One from Another

So I am creating multiple animations on a single page. The page is a PHP page and was built long ago. I am just replacing some images with Edge Animate animations.
I want to do them in a sequence. So I was wondering if there was a way in the time line of one, to trigger the start of another? Each is going to be in an individual iframe. Which I know compounds the issue.
I thought of just putting some lead seconds in each of the animations so they sort of pause, but that would assume all of them load at the exact same time to keep the timing.
Any help would be appreciated.

Due to browser security, I don't think it would be possible to have one iframe talk to another in the way you want.
Is there a reason you are using iframes instead of DIVs?
I created a simple demo of what I think you want to do here, but just using DIVs: http://thetraininggrounds.com/An-test/end-trigger-second-an/combined_an.html
What I did was start with two compositions. In the second one, at 0ms, I set a trigger of sym.stop(); to ensure this would not play until I told it to.
In the first one, I set the complete event (i.e. when it's done playing) to start the second composition. I used the code: Edge.getComposition("EDGE-253701960").getStage().play();
You will, of course, need to substitute the actual composition ID for the one I included in getComposition.
Then it was simply a matter of including the preload .js file for both and the stage divs for both into the same page.
There is definitely more you can do, and I suggest checking out the API documentation for more info: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/edgeanimate/api/current/index.html
I hope this helps.

IMAQdx with JAI and a hardware trigger

Hello,
We are working with two 'JAI AD-080' cameras and IMAQdx, and have two problems regarding the triggering and frame grabbing:
1) We are unable to change the trigger source through IMAQdx property node or the Vision Acquisition Express; Vision Acquisition block.
2) When we manually edit the trigger source property using the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) to its correct value, we can't get all four of the CCD's to run at a time without resulting in bad packets, e.g. horizontal black lines across the images.
Our goal is to obtain the images from the 4 CCD's at a rate of 5 Hz using our hardware trigger. We can already connect and obtain all four images at full speed, but the 5 Hz trigger is not being used by the cameras in that case.
Details of the setup:
NI 2011, Windows 7
Two (2) JAI AD-080 cameras (with 2 CCD's each), GigE cameras connected over Ethernet
Hardware triggering at 5 Hz, on pin: 'Line 7 - TTL In 1'
Details of the problem:
(1)  Setting the trigger source not possible in Vision Express or IMAQdx property node
In order to use our hardware trigger, we have to set the camera property 'CameraAttributes::AcquisitionControl::TriggerSource' to a specific pin (Line 7 - TTL In 1). This property is available in MAX, but is not usable in the Vision Express Block. The property is present, but the values are invalid. Here is what I think is happening: the list of properties are read from the camera, but LabVIEW does not know what the valid values are for that property and it populates the value drop-down menu with whatever was loaded last. This can be seen in figures 1 and 2 where the values in the drop down menu change.
Similarly, this property of 'Trigger Source' cannot be changed programmatically using the IMAQdx property node shown here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/E50864BB41B54D1E8625730100535E88
I have tried all numeric values from 0 to 255, and most give me a value out of range error, but the ones that do work result in no change to the camera.
(2)  Lost packets in image during triggering
If I set the 'Trigger Source' property in MAX to the correct pin, save the configuration, and then use the Vision Acquisition Express block to connect to the camera, the triggering works properly (the hardware trigger is used and the images are received by LabVIEW at 5 Hz). However, this only works for one CCD: If i use the same code for all four CCD's at the same time, I get black bars on the images, and at least one of the CCD's result in an error in 'IMAQdx Get Image.vi' (code -1074360308, -1074360316)
I tested this by using the configuration attributes created by the Vision Express Block, (The string used in the 'IMAQdx Read Attributes From String.vi'), in the code we have been developing as well as a very simplified version which I have attached. Those configuration attributes are saved in the text files:  JAI_Config_TrigON.txt and JAI_Config_TrigOFF.txt for using triggering or not respectively.
So my final questions are:
Is there a problem with the IMAQdx because it doesn't recognize the trigger source value?
Do you have any suggestions for why there are bad packets and trouble connecting to the cameras when I load them with the trigger on attributes?
Thank you for your time -

Hello,
Thank you for your response; especially the speed in which you responded and the level of detail.
I have not solved the problem fully in LabVIEW yet, but I was able remove the black lines and apparitions from the images using different camera parameters.
Since this was a significant victory I wanted to update:
1) Version of IMAQdx?
I have IMAQdx 4.0, but the problem persists.
2) Setting configuration files
Your suggestion to pay attention to the order in which the properties are set as well as using the MAX settings is very helpful. I have not explored this feature fully, but I was able to successfully use MAX to set the default settings and then open the cameras programmatically without loading a new configuration file.
3) Bandwidth limitations
I modified the CCD's to only use 250 Mbits/second, but the lost packets (or missing lines/ apparitions) were still present.
4) JAI AD-080GE Specifics
I am using the JAI AD-080GE; and there are two settings for this camera that I want to mention:
JAI Acquisition Control>> Exposure Mode (JAI)>>Edge pre-select
JAI Acquisition Control>> Exposure Mode (JAI)>>Delayed readout EPS trigger
The "Edge pre-select" mode uses an external trigger to initiate the capture, and then the video signal is read out when the image is done being exposed.
The "Delayed readout EPS trigger" can delay the transmission of a captured image in relation to the frame start. It is recommended by JAI to prevent network congestion if there are several cameras triggered simultaneously on the same GigE interface. The frame starts when the 'trigger 0' is pulsed, then stored on the camera, then is transmitted on 'trigger 1'.
The default selection is the "Delayed readout EPS trigger", however, I do not know how to set the 'trigger 1' properly yet and I only have one connection available on my embedded board that is handling the triggering right now (I don't know if 'trigger 1' needs to be on a separate line or not). Incidentally, the system does not work on this setting and gives me the black lines (aka lost packets/ apparitions).
I was able remove the black lines and apparitions using the "Edge pre-select" option on all 4 images with a 5 Hz simultaneous trigger. I confirmed this using the "JAI Control Tool" that ships with the cameras. I am unable to make this happen in MAX though, as the trigger mode is automatically switched to 'off' if I use the mode: JAI Acquisition Control>> Exposure Mode (JAI)>>Edge pre-select
i.e. when manually switching the trigger mode to 'on' in MAX, "JAI Acquisition Control>> Exposure Mode (JAI)>>Delayed readout EPS trigger" option is forced by MAX. The vise-versa is also forced so that if EPS mode is chosen, "Trigger Mode Off" is forced.
Additionally, there is a setting called:
Image Format Control>>Sync Mode>>Sync &   Image Format Control>>Sync Mode>>Async
When the "Sync" option is chosen the NIR CCD uses the trigger of the VIS CCD. In addition to using the "Edge pre-select" option, the "Sync" option improves the triggering results significantly.
5) Future troubleshooting
Since I cannot set the camera parameters manually in MAX (due to MAX forcing different combinations of parameters in 4), I am going to explore manually editing the configuration file and loading those parameters at startup. This can be tricky since a bad combination will stall the camera, but I can verify the settings in JAI Control Tool first. There is also an SDK that is shipped with the cameras, so I may be able to use those commands. I haven't learned C/C++ yet, but I have teammates who have.

Triggering GigE Camera with Hardware Trigger

Hello,
Here is an outline of what I want to accomplish:
-LabView program starts running and waits for GigE camera to output frames
-Hardware trigger leads to GigE camera outputting frames
-Some simple arithmetic is done on each frame to generate the average pixel value--> this average value is plotted for each frame
-Repeat the above three steps
Please see the attached VI. I have successfully set my camera's settings in MAX to make it wait for an external hardware trigger. However, the output of IMAQdx Grab2.vi inside the While Loop is only a single frame (even though in MAX I have set the Acquisition Mode to MultiFrame - 255 Frames).
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank You.
Solved!

The "problem" that you are having is the frame rate of video acquisition, which you think is about 20 Hz. Take the very simple VI I posted and run it with your camera -- all it does is continuously take frames (and display them) -- does this have an acceptable rate? I suspect it will.
If so, then "start with what works and add to it", rather than trying to "fix what is broken". First, let's consider how to (better) control the Start and Stop of frame acquisition. I like your idea of using the 6009, but I recommend (if you are using a 3V signal as the trigger) that you wire the trigger to one of the Digital I/O ports (as 0 and 3V are acceptable TTL levels for False and True).
Your Video loop will be "clocked" by the Camera at its frame rate, so you might consider using the same loop to clock the DIO. Take a Digital sample of the line to which you've wired your TTL signal, and as long as it is True, run the loop. [You'll need to think about how to get the loop started ...]. It should, I think, be possible to read from your USB 6009 within a 60th of a second -- if it is too slow, there are other ways of handling this with a separate parallel loop, but let's not go there until we see it is a problem.
So now, in principle, you've gone from a simple loop showing frames at 60 Hz to a loop controlled by a TTL signal showing frames at 60 Hz. All we need now is to process those frames.
Here is where you want to use a Consumer/Producer pattern -- you don't want to do processing inside this loop (because the loop cannot run faster than all of its parts, taken together, and if you are processing incoming data, you have to get the data, then do the processing). Instead, you have have two loops running in parallel -- the Producer loop acquiring the videos, and then "exporting" them to a Consumer loop that processes them.
Are you familiar with this pattern? There are numerous examples around (look in File/New/From Template/Framework/Design Patterns, and at some of the Sample Projects). It uses a Queue, with data put onto the Queue by the Producer and removed by the Consumer. You might need to increase the number of buffers for your camera, but you should be able to do quite a bit of processing in 1/60 of a second.

Copying a single file from one project to another????

Hello,
New to Mac from a PC, tried search with no results. I have a single image I would like to display in 2 separate projects in Aperture. (As I will be writing to a disc and print later). How do I copy the image from Project A to Project B, making is available to both??? Thanks in advance!

There are two different ways to do this.
The first way is literally exactly what you are asking for but may not be what you really want. You can copy the image (and corresponding master) by holding down the option key while dragging the image from one project to the other - make sure the drop target is the actual little yellow project box and not something inside the project box. When you do this there will be two completely separate copies that have nothing to do with each other. If you make an adjustment to one the other will not change, if you delete one master the other will still be there.
The second way may be what you actually want - if you create any type of album within or even outside of a project you can drag any images from any project into it - no copies are made but the image will "show up" in that album no matter what project it happens to live in. This is usually a better way to group images together from multiple projects no matter what the purpose.
Here are some more details:

How can I merge two TIFF images in one...?

I need some help please, I am looking for a way to "resize" black & white single TIFF images.
The process I need to do is like cutting a small image and paste it over a new blank letter-size image (at 300 dpi), like a template.
Or better yet, is there a way to do something like this...?
Open image...
image.*width* = 2550;
image.*height* = 3300;
image.save();Some APIs and topics in the internet do or talk about resizing, but the final images get stretched or shrinked and I need them not to do so at all.
Also, I do not need to display the images, only to get the TIFF images processed and saved back to a file.
How can I do this with Java and JAI? Unfortunately I am almost new to this and I don't know how difficult it might be to deal with images.

If 2550 x 3300 isn't the original aspect ratio of the image, then the image is going to looked streched or shrinked in at least one dimension. There is no way around that. It would be like resizing a 2 pixel by 2 pixel image into a 3 pixel by 6 pixel image. The image would look like it's height shrunk or it's width stretched. Had I resized it to 3 pixels by 3 pixels or 6 pixels by 6 pixels, though, then it wouldn't look shrunken or streched.
Open image...
image.*width* = 2550;
image.*height* = 3300;
image.save();*1)* To open a TIFF image you can use the javax.swing.ImageIO class. It has these static methods
read(File input)
read(ImageInputStream stream)
read(InputStream input)
read(URL input) You can use which ever method you want. But first you need to install [JAI-ImageIO|https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html]. The default ImageReaders that plug themselves into the ImageIO package are BMP, PNG, GIF, and JPEG. JAI-ImageIO will add TIFF, and a few other formats.
The downside is that if clients want to you use your program on their machine then they to will need to install JAI-ImageIO to read the tiffs. To get around this, you can go to your Java/jdk1.x.x_xx/jre/lib/ext/ folder and copy the jai_imageio.jar file (after you've installed JAI-ImageIO). You can also obtain this jar from any one of the zip files of the [daily builds|https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html#Daily_builds]. If you add this jar to your program's classpath and package it together with your program, then clients won't need to install JAI-ImageIO and you'll still be able to read TIFF's. The downside of simply adding the jar to the classpath is that you won't be able to take advantage of a natively accelerated JPEG reader that comes with installing JAI-ImageIO (instead, ImageIO will use the default one).
*2)* Once you've installed [JAI-ImageIO|https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html] and used ImageIO.read(...), you'll have a BufferedImage. To resize it you can do the following
BufferedImage newImage = new BufferedImage(2550,3300,BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY);
Graphics2D g = newImage.createGraphics();
g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
g.drawImage(oldImage,0,0,2550,3300,null);
g.dispose();Here, I simply drew the old image (the one returned by ImageIO.read(...)) onto a new BufferedImage object of the appropriate size. Because you said they were black and white TIFF's, I used BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY, which is a black and white image. If you decide to use one the BufferedImage types that support color, then a 2550x3330 image would require at least 25 megabytes to hold into memory. On the other hand, a binary image of that size will only take up about one meg.
I specified on the graphics object that I wanted Bilinear Interpolation when scaling. The default is Nearest Neighbor interpolation, which while fast, dosen't look very good. Bilinear offers pretty good results scaling both up or down at fast speeds. Bicubic interpolation is the next step up. If you find the resized image to be subpar, then come back and post. There are a couple of other ways to resize an image.
Note, however, if 2550 x 3300 is not the same aspect ratio as the the TIFF image you loaded, then the resized image will look shrunk or stretched along one dimension. There is absolutely no way around this no matter what resizing technique you use. You'll need an image whose original dimensions are in a 2550/3300 = .772 ratio if you want the resized image to not look like it's streched (you can crop the opened image if you want).
*3)* Now we save the "newImage" with the same class we read images with: ImageIO . It has these static methods
write(RenderedImage im, String formatName, File output)
write(RenderedImage im, String formatName, ImageOutputStream output)
write(RenderedImage im, String formatName, OutputStream output)You'll suply the resized BufferedImage as the first parameter, "tiff" as the second parameter and an appropriate output for the third parameter. It's pretty much a one line statement to read or write an image. All in all, the whole thing is about 7 lines of code. Not bad of all.
Now as for the 300 dpi thing, there is a way to set the dpi in the Image's metadata. I'm pretty good at reading an image's metadata, but I've never really tried writing out my own metadata. I know you can set the dpi, and I have a somewhat vague idea how it might be done, but it's not something I've tried before. I think I'll look more into it.

All of Office 2010 Student and Home Edition Programs open as Microsoft Single Image instances since Installing Outlook 2013

Office 2010 Student and Home Edition has been running without problems on my PC since 2012. Recently installed Microsoft Outlook 2013 (The version of Office 2010 did not include Outlook), since then, every time I open any of the original Office 2010 Programs
eg XCEL, WORD, POWER POINT, ONE NOTE, the program opens in 'Microsoft Office 2010 Single Image' which appears to have to be installed every time any of the programs are opened. The Installation process takes anything up to a few minutes to complete and sometimes
when filing or printing a document, the install restarts, on occasions, in an endless loop which requires random,imaginative keystroke action to terminate. The program shortcut icons all point to the 'Microsoft Office 2010 Single Image' application, I have
not succeeded in finding where the original programs are located as a quick way of trying to fix the problem.
The new installation of Outlook 2013 opens normally.
Evidently, the Outlook 2013 installation has disturbed the 2010 licensing or something ellse, can this unintended change be reversed?
Short of a complete Un-install + Re-Install, I have tried every straightforward repair/ change (run All on my computer)/ enter product code etc option, all to no avail.
I have read of variations on the same problem relating to mixing Office 2003/ 2007, cases of Outlook 2013 starting up in a similar way, but no examples of the specific problem outlined above. The next step
is a complete Un-install + re-install of Office 2010, is this the answer or do I need to go further? Indeed, is there a quick fix?

Hi,
The Microsoft Office Single Image 2010 is a set of tools, documentation, and product files that licensed original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can use to preload Office on new computers for distribution to end users.

How do i print multiple images on one sheet in Photoshop CC?

I can't even seem to select more than one image, surely there must be an easier way than using Layers to create a collage? I have used Easy-PhotoPrint EX package until now but I need something more professional now? Do you print multiples from Photoshop or some other package? I am able to size and print a single image but not multiples on the same page? I print lots of photos so can't do the layer thing each time.

Your joking of course right not using layers in Photoshop is a capital offence.
A video showing a 5 image collage PSD template being populates with images: http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/Populate911_720p.mp4
also check out Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support
Photo Collage Toolkit
Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this.
The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
Size the photo collage templates for the print size you want - width, height and print DPI resolution.
Photo collage templates must have a Photoshop background layer. The contents of this layer can be anything.
Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Image 1", "Image 2", ... "Image n".
Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to let the images that will be placed below them show through.
There are twelve scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.
PCTpreferences.jsx - Edit This File to Customize Collage Populating scripts default setting and add your own Layer styles.

How to post multiple images in one blog post using iweb

Hi
I would like to post multiple images in a single blog post. When ever I add a second or third image in the "entry" section of iweb, it does not show up in the blog post on the homepage of the blog. does anyone know if it is even possible to have multiple, separate images in one post, and if so, how.
Here is a link to my blog: http://www.hoopography.com. You can see how there is only one image. I I want to talk about multiple items, I need to create an image in Pages and put them all together. I would really like to break out of the one box (placeholder) mold. I feel so constrained in iweb right now. I think I have done a lot with my blog, but I am always looking to learn more about iweb and improve my blog. Thanks for any help!!!

what's the url of your blog? I'd like to check it out. I'm always interested in learning more about iWeb to improve my blogs. Mine are: http://www.hoopography.com and http://www.wnysportscards.com

How can i centre a single image within a page in the print module?

I am using LR5 and am trying to print a single image using print package in the centre of the page, equal borders on all 4 sides. There has got to be an easy way of doing this?

Not too difficult, what I do is take one of the Lightroom templates, for example, single image on US letter size paper. Make sure you have your printer set for that paper size.
Then in the template drag the guidelines at the top/botton and left and right hand sides so you have an even border to the size you want. Then check Zoom to fill and grab the image and move up/down or side to side to get the best view of the image. This will probably be a cropped image as the image aspect ratio will not match your borders.
This is for LR4 waiting for the next point release of LR5
Hope this helps
