Use of Bing satellite images to detect human rights abuses

Hi
I am working on a Master's project to detect evidence of human rights abuses automatically (i.e. programmatically). For this I need satellite imagery of appropriate locations (e.g. Sudan) at sufficient resolution. I need these without names and streets overlaid
on top.
I also need historical data for the same location, so that a "before" image can be compared with an "after" one.
Is all this possible with Bing images?
Thanks

Bing Maps currently doesn't not provide access to historical imagery for the same location. It only provides the most recent image that is available.

Collect a Bing Search Image

I am trying to collect an image from a bing search.
I tried the following in the On Select section of the Bing Image Gallery:
Collect(Collection1, ThisItem)
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks!

My assumption of what you are doing is that you have a gallery of images using the Bing Image Search control and want to add the selected image to a new collection.
If this is what you are doing, then the onSelect would look like this:
Collect(col,{image:Gallery1!Selected!MediaUrl})

How to view satellite image during navigation with google maps iphone 5

I am a new iPhone convert. I switched from the HTC EVO that used Google Navigation. Google Navigation in Android allows the user to see the image of the map during actual navigation to be the satellite view instead of the standard map view. I downloaded the Google Navigation App to my iPhone 5 but I can't get the map to switch to satellite view. I can only get the satellite view up for the overview map. Once navigation starts, the screen pops back over to the standard map view. How do I view the satellite image during navigation? Please help....

I don't believe that is an option in Google Maps for iOS.

Ovi Maps v3.01 satellite images goes blank!

i have N95, and i downloaded the new Ovi Maps a few days ago. i like to report a few bugs I'm experiencing!
I deleted the entire Cities folder before installing the new Ovi Maps, so it was a clean install.
anyway,
when i updated my maps for my country by nokia map loader, i use my wifi to download satellite images.
when i use ovi maps, sat. mode the screen goes blank at some parts ( i don't see sat images) just street maps.
but i know i downloaded the images. so i use wifi again to download. same thing happens, screen flikers and goes blank.
One other thing happens often, Ovi Maps just quits, when i pan around for a while!

but i heard other people having a similar problem, thier maps are not saved! or get corupted after a while!
anyway, overall, great new features, and the bookmark sync, is great.
Ovi maps is almost perfect! can't wait for the updated version, i just wish they could integrate Nokia friends view with ovi maps.... just imagine if u can navigate to u'er friend when they are on the move

Image change detection

i am looking for ideas and code of how to find any change between 2 images, say for example the image of a professor teaching on a board at two different times t1 and t2.
what i mean here is that, at time t1, the content of the board in the image will be different from the conten of the board in the image at time t2.
so any code of comparing these 2 images and detecting the change.

Using Java you would only be able to compare quantifiable things like the total pixels , or the size of the file . Although if there is any difference between t1 and t2 there will be a pixel chnge but this is a naive concept and not a smart compare. For this you might have to store individual pixel info into a variable and then compare it with the new image . ... Are you sure we can do this with Java , coz I dont think u would be able to do this without taking help from an external interface.

Sounds like your iPod is broken. Take it to Apple or someone else who repairs iPods and see if you can get it fixed, or get it replaced.

How can I use a refrence background image ?

HI,
I need to register align horizontally and vertically) about 100 images to the first. I don't want to stack or merge them. An ideal way to accomplish this would be to be able to set the first image as a background reference image for all images in the group. There would be left/right buttons so I could advance through the stack, a slider to adjust the visibility of the foreground image, and up/down & right/left arrows so I could move the upper image a pixel at a time in any direction. In this case I don't need to rotate the image, but this would also be something a person might want to control. Then I would move through the group of images, stopping on each one to align the image to the first. One at a time, or after I am done, it would save all the aligned images to a new filename and folder, without changing the transparency of the image or in any way using the background reference image. Without rotating the images, every pixel in the new image would be the same as in the original, except moved. I would start by resizing the canvas of all the images so they have a border area. This way I can move the image around and not lose any of it.
Of course I could put the reference image in the background layer and the image to be adjusted above it on another layer. Then i can use the background as a reference by making the upper image somewhat transparent. Finially I could delete the background layer and save the image with just the adjusted layer. But this would be tedius with 100 images, even worse if there were 1000..
Is there a reference background image capability in Photoshop CC ? Is there a better or different way to do this ? Or can Bridge do it ?

Perhaps I need to explain my specific application. I have 120 images that are part of a time lapse sequence. The camera is photographing a meteor shower. I was able to capture a meteor which left a persistent trail that lasted about 5 minutes. Because the camera is on a tripod, the stars are constantly moving and in fact moved quite a bit during the 5 minutes the trail was visible. These images are of much higher resulution than the 1080 video I am producing. I have used premier to track the spot in the images and show the meteor and trail as a video close up that runs at about 15% speed. because the exposures were 30 seconds ;long, every 33 seconds, the sky has visibly moved from image to image. because I use only a few keyframes Premier tracks the spot smoothly. But since the pictures are each moved, not moving, the stars in the final video move back and forth with each image. they never go anywhere, but this movement is distracting and annoying. Theoretically I could eliminate this movement by having a different key for each frame. But the better way is to prepare the images so they are all aligned. Then there will be no movement at all.
You have seen this effect in documentaries. Here's a hypothetical situation. Someone has handheld video of an important event happening. because of the situation and the handheld camera, the picture moves around like crazy. To be able to view the event clearly as part of an investigation, each frame is aligned to the first so the subject doesn't move at all, while the image frame moves all around. I have seen this many times. Now I need to do it.
I have 120 pictures which all must be aligned so the stars in the picture do not move. i need to see a refrence image through the image to be adjusted, so I can move the image to be adjusted until its stars are perfectly aligned with stars in the refrence image. Of course this is like stacking, which is used to reduce noise and increase detail. but I don't want to stack the images, just adjust them horizontally and vertically, and then save them in their adjusted state.

How can I use some of the image i am working on to paint with? like if I wanted to give someone an extra eye in the forehead, ow could i then paint their own i in the forehead? I know there is a paint tool for that, i just can't find it ... :/

It sounds like you are talking about the cloning tool?
Tool looks like this:
Then when selected you can change the size of the brush and using Alt (windows) and Command (Mac) to select your region you want to copy then start to create you cloned image.
Hope this helps?

Spry Menu problem with using a transparent background image

Hi- I'm new to CS5 and Dreamweaver. I just finished the beginning webpage tutorial and I have started to work on a personal project.

Directory Damage, what can be used for Disk Repair and Virus Detection?

Hi,
My eMac is acting up. Yesterday I started getting these messages that I needed to restart my computer (message was in a brown box window with an icon of a start up button in background).
I did the disk repair using Start up CD and it came back with "invalid key......." or something like that, and when I tried to repair it, it tried to repair the B-Tree's but then said it could not repair the problem.
I have Diskwarrior 3.03 Build 39, on a CD and on my FW Ext HD, which has a clone of my Mac HD.
Diskwarrior could not produce a graph of Mac HD because the directory was damaged. When I did a rebuild it hung on step 9 comparing directories, said there was 7 million + tests. ( I let it hang on step 9 for 15 hrs. to see if maybe it was just taking a long time due to corrupt directory). I finally clicked on Skip and got to the report page. I could do a preview, but the replace button is greyed out. When I was comparing the sizes of each folder, in both preview and original, I got a can not calculate error message on a few of them. The size of Mac HD in preview compared to the one in Original was different by 4 gbs. A week ago I repaired the Mac HD and did a Diskwarrior directory repair on all my HD's.
Before I do any reformatting of HD or other drastic measures, I was wondering what is safe to use for disk repair and virus detection. I know there is Norton System Works 3.0, Norton AntiVirus and TechTool, are these the only ones? Are these safe to use? Are there any other programs that can repair directory damage?
Thank you in advance,
Deb

The long-standing rule of thimb has been that if Disk Warrior can't repair a mungled disk directory, then you're looking at reformatting or replacing the hard drive. Since this is a week-old hard drive, I'd suspect the replacement hard drive is itself bad. It might save you grief in the long run to contact the vendor who sold you the drive and inquire about their warrenty. You might want to first run the file system check utility fsck as described in Using Disk Utility and fsck
Directory repair and antivirus protection are different critters. Norton AV is mostly safe (if you don't mind it's track record of false positives) and is used by the IT department at the lab where I work. Norton SystemWorks, AKA Disk Doctor Kervorkian, is most assuredly NOT safe. For every poster reporting something nice about it, you'll find at least 2 dozen cursing it. It has a known track record of detecting problems no other utility finds and of "repairing" drives such that nothing can then read or repair the drive short of low-level reformatting (and occasionally even that fails).
Tech Tool Pro 4 has a good reputation, as does Drive Genius. Tiger OS X 10.4.2 and later include a version of Disk Utility that can for the first time also make effective B-tree and keys out of order and overlapped extent repairs. Still, my personal gut feeling is that if Disk Warrior is choking on the hard drive, you're looking at reformatring while zeros the drive (zeroing should detect and map out bad physical secotrs).
You can also refer to Disk First Aid: What to do when it finds an error and to Handling "overlapped extent allocation" errors reported by Disk Utility or fsck

Can I use Bridge to export image data into a .txt file?

I have a folder of images and I would like to export the File Name, Resolution, Dimensions and Color Mode for each file into one text file. Can I use Bridge to export image data into a .txt file?

Hello
You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);
#     CSV spec
#     - record separator is CRLF
#     - field separator is comma
#     - every field is quoted
#     - text encoding is UTF-8
local $\\ = qq(\\015\\012);    # CRLF
local $, = qq(,);            # COMMA
# print column header row
my @dd = ('column 1', 'column 2', 'column 3', 'column 4', 'column 5', 'column 6');
print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;
# print data row per each file
while (@ff) {
    my $f = shift @ff;    # file path
    if ( ! open(IN, '<', $f) ) {
        warn qq(Failed to open $f: $!);
        next;
    $f =~ s%^.*/%%og;    # file name
    @dd = ('', $f, '', '', '', '');

Using Nikon D5200 NEF images in PSE

Hi
I currently have PSE8 which will not read the NEF images from my Nikon D5200. I know that I can use the Adobe DNG Convertor 7.3 to convert them to DNG outside of PSE8 then work with the DNG images in PSE8. However, I would prefer, if possible, to work directly with the NEF images as a plugin.
This article:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
states that the current PSE11 can only support the Raw Camera Plugin up to 7.2. This article:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
indicates that the Nikon D5200 requires the Raw Camera Plugin 7.3.
Q1 - Based on the above am I therefore correct that it is not currently possible to use Nikon D5200 NEF images directly in any currently available PSE?
Q2 - If, the answer to Q1 is Yes does anyone have a feel for whether its likely in the next version of PSE? Or would I have to save up for the full Photoshop program to do what I want?
Thanks
Jetta
Microsoft MVP

The first link is out of date.
Yes, photoshop elements 11 supports camera raw 7.3
You should be able to update pse 11 to camera raw 7.3 by going to Help>Updates from within the pse 11 editor if you should decide to trial and/or purchase pse11.
