Unable to read images into an array

Hi there,
I hope that someone will be able to help me. I have set up a program that will set the loop count to the number of images in the folder (orange input). With each execution of the loop, I would like an image to be read from file (using IMAQ ReadFile) and then stored to an array (purple output). Please find the screenshot attached with a snip of the code in question and the error that results from executing the vi (highlights the IMAQ ReadFile vi).
I do have 5 images with the name: image0.png - image4.png in the folder directory specified by "Image Read File Path" and made sure that the path appends the actual name to the file path.
I am fairly new to Labview programming (I have searched for a solution and troubleshooted as much as I can) and I hope I have provided enough information.
Kind regards,
Richard

I wonder if the extra backslash is messing up the path. "Build Path" handles the file seperator. Right click on the final path and select Probe, or create and indicator to see the path.

Converting image into byte array

Hi all,
How to convert an integer array image into byte array ?
here i have a image like this :
private static int pixelArray[] = {
0xff000000, 0xff000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000,
0xff000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000
From this one i create image like this one :
Image image = Image.createRGBImage(pixelArray, width, height, true);
Now i want to convert that pixelArray into byte array ? how to do this
additionally i want to send this byte array to servlet .
thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you want to convert your int array to a byte array you should
split each integer into 4 bytes to avoid losing information. You can
rebuild your integer array later if you need to. I think this code
will work (i havent tested it):
byte[] pixel= new byte[pixelArray.length<< 2];
for (int i= pixelArray.length- 1; i>= 0; i--) {
int aux= i<< 2; // i* 4 = i<< 2
pixel[aux]= (byte) (pixelArray>> 32);
pixel[aux+ 1]= (byte) (pixelArray[i]>>> 16);
pixel[aux+ 2]= (byte) (pixelArray[i]>>> 8);
pixel[aux+ 3]= (byte) pixelArray[i];

im not at home or id post some source code but first off
if your going to write a file from a applet your going to
have to get by permisions.
so you should probably do this with a application
it would be alot easier
use toolkit.getdefaulttoolkit() to get the image then
use the pixel graber class to read it into a array
of the type you want string or char
then just write it into a file each element of the array
and when you want to read it just read it in with file reader
you could probaly do a test run just write in each value as
a string and put a comma between each value then use
stringtokenizer to read it back in its less efficient but
for a test run it would make things clearer
sorry if its not much help

Converting an image into numeric array?

I want to sum all the pixel values in a image. I was thinking of using the Add Array Elements VI. Is their an easy way to convert an U8 or an I16 bit image into a numeric array? Thank you in advance.

Is this a BW image? (If the image is paletted or color, a summing operation is poorly defined! )
Just convert your image data to a 2D boolean array using unflatten pixmap, then feed the 1bit pixmap to "boolean to 0..1" followed by the SUM operation (in case it overflows, you might want to convert it to a better representation before summing, e.g. DBL. "boolean to 0,1" generates I16).

any help is appriciated asap

Yuck! I echo jverd's sentiment. Please only post the specific pieces of code that you are having trouble with, and use the forum 'code' tags.
But to answer your question, I don't see where you're calling the readFile() method from. If you're not calling readFile, that might explain why nothing is being read.
As for the design of the readFile method, another 'yuck'. heh Don't use exceptions to break out of a loop. If you MUST break out of a loop, use break. But a loop like this doesn't need break. Try something like this:while( (b = bufReader.readLine()) != null)
     anArray[count++] = b;
     j.append(b+"\n");
}Also, in stead of creating an array of some arbitrary fixed length, I recommend using a collection class such as ArrayList.
In stead of this:static String [] anArray = new String[1000];
anArray[count++] = b;it would be better to use something like this:static ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
arrayList.add(b);

Conversion of image into byte array

I have a problem in converting .png image into bytestream, if anyone can help in this pls do so.....

Hi,
To convert an Image to bytes you can use the Image.getRGB() method.

How can I convert a bitmap image into an array in LabVIEW 6.0.2, then to a spreadsheet for further analysis without NI-IMAQ or Vision?

I do not have NI-IMAQ or NI Vision.
I acquired the image using a picolo board then just saved it as a bitmap file.

You want to convert it to an array of what? Of numbers? Of LabVIEW colors?
The "Read BMP File.vi" VI outputs a 1-D array of the pixels, but I suspect it is not exactly in the format that you need. I am NOT sure, but I think that each group of 3 elements of that 1-D array (which is inside the cluster "image data" that the VI outputs) represents the red, green and blue levels of a single pixel (but it may be hue, saturation and lum.). Also, since it is a 1-D array, you would have to divide it by the width (which is also included in the "image data" cluster) to get some sort of 2-D array of data.
You can find the "Read BMP File.vi" VI in the functions palete> "Graphics & sound">"Graphics Formats".

Inserting Image into a BLOB column in Oracle9i

Hi,
I am unable to insert image into a BLOB column. I am using Forms 6i REL 2 and Oracle 9i. But I could do it on Oracle 8i with same Forms version.
Same thing is true for CLOB in 9i.
Would you please try with this code?
TABLE
Create table x
(Id number,
Name CLOB,
Pict BLOB);
WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigge
declare
     x varchar2(265);
begin
     x := get_file_name;
     read_image_file (x, 'GIF', 'picture.pict');
end;
Take care,
Tarek

Forms 9i and Oracle 9i work fine together for this case.

Import bitmap into an array

I want to import a 24-bit bitmap image into an array so I can loop through the array and perform calculations based on the color of the pixels etc.
Can any one advise me of an easy way to do this in Java?
Thanks

I want to import a 24-bit bitmap image into an array so I can loop through the array and perform calculations based on the color of the pixels etc. java.awt.image.BufferedImage:
public int[] getRGB(int arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3, int[] arg4, int arg5, int arg6)
it works for jpeg and png, dont know about bmp.........

Storing an image into SQLite

I have to sto an image from a link(www.somsite.com/sample.jpg) to the SQLite data base. And I hav to retrieve the same image and display it into the application. i tried it by coverting the image into byte array and store that byte array to the SQLite as BLOB. but it is not working. Please someone help me to getting out of it.

Does the image have to be stored in the session? An alternative is to store the path and filename of the image.

Webutil - Read Image?

1.While reading image into image item of my canvas
if the image size larger then my image item size
i want it to be scroll both horizontally and vertically.
Is that possible.?
2.I want to give zoom in/out functionality to that image item.
How?
3.Also i want to restrict the user from select file type
other than gif,tif,jpg,jpeg,bmp etc...???

Dear Faheem;
For ur questions No. 1 & 2 if you open the property palette for the image item you search for the categeory[b] faunctional there is a property called[b] Show palette assign it to YES then if you run ur form you will get a control palette for zooming or moving the image.
For Quest. 3 I think you have to use it by coding like this code :
photo_filename := tiff_image_dir||LOWER(:emp.userid)||'.tif';
** For example 'photo_filename' might look like:
** /usr/staff/photos/jgetty.tif
** Now, read in the appropriate image.
READ_IMAGE_FILE(photo_filename, 'TIFF', 'emp.emp_photo');
Hope it help

Read part of an array element

Hello All.
As indicated in the title, I am trying to read part of an array element.
What I'm doing is reading values from a LeCroy scope using a "write" than "read" I have returned the read values into an array but the issue is the scope returns a value "1, 52.33E-3"
I simply want the element to be 52.33 that way I can use that for other calculations.
For example my array is.
"1, 34.334E-3"
"1, 53.343E-3"
"1, 143.232E-"
And I want it to be
34.334
53.343
143.232
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Another option is to use Spreadsheet String to Array and use the comma as the delimiter. It can actually change your string into an array of numbers. Then you just index out the number you want.

Read xml file to array

I would like to read an xml file to an array before placing it in a document. I have seen people on here do something similar but I just can't get it to work.
Right now I am having to open the docuement as just a file read it into an array and then pull the elements I want with a regex expression, which is pretty tedious.
It seems the framework has some pretty nice xml element functions if I could just read the file in an xml format
Right now I am doing something like this to read the file
myfile = new File (path to file);
myfile.open("r");
myothervariable = myfile.read();
myfile.close();
But I am just reading it as simple text. I can't use any of the xml properties or functions on any of this. Does this make sense?
Thanks in advance for any help

Do this:
myfile = new File (path to file);
myfile.open("r");
myXML = new XML (myfile.read());
myfile.close();
You now have an XML object that you can parse with JavaScript. See the ESTK's JavaScript Tools Guide (in the ESTK's Help menu), the chapter entitled "Integrating XML into JavaScript" (ch. 9 in CS5).
