Using the difference between two shots to create an alpha channel

If I were to lock my camera down and first film a shot of a non-moving background (say, my living room), then take another shot of someone walking into the room and sitting on a sofa, could I use the difference between the two shots (the person walking and sitting) to create an alpha channel?
What settings in Motion would I use to get this?

If you really want to do it within Motion, try stacking the clean frame and the the frame with the moving person over each other. Then set the blend mode to Difference for the top clip. You can clean this up a bit with a blur and a threshold filter, but Difference mattes are often a bit iffy.
If anything the person is wearing matches the background, for instance, that will be transparent.
After you've created a black/white representation of the "difference", you can add your person clip again to a new group, ⌘-shift-m to add a mask, then drag your difference group into it and set the source to luminance...
make sense?

To calculate the difference between two periods in SSM

Hi,
I have two questions need to be clarified.
Question 1: I have KPI named Revenue growth and the formula to calculate is (current year revenue - previous year revenue).I am using data entry& approval.Is that technically possible to calculate the revenue difference between two periods in SSM?
Question 2: Is that possible to enter the date as input for the variable?for example i want find the difference between two dates and the difference value is output for my variable.
Regards
Bala

Hi:
Question 1:
We have same problem, and what we did is to create:
- 2 NON KPI:
R1 = Revenue current year
R2 = Revenue previous year
- 1 virtual KPI
R3 = R2-R1
Question 2:
I don't know.

As to the data type of the data type of the difference between two date type of datas

Hi,
I have a question about the data type of the difference between two date type of datas.
There are two date type of datas as:
SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME
SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME
I try to use the following SQL Script in Oracle SQL*Plus as:
SELECT CASE
WHEN (SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME - SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME) < '000 01:00:00.000' THEN 'OnTime'
WHEN (SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME - SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME) < '000 01:30:00.000' THEN '60-89 Minutes'
ELSE '3+ Hours'
END
FROM SSHIPMENTS;
The error message of "Invalid Number" for the '000 01:30:00.000' happens.
I don't know if the data type of the interval is wrong.
Many Thanks,
Cathy

SELECT CASE
WHEN (to_char(SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME,'hhmiss') - to_char(SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME,'hh24miss')) < '010000' THEN 'OnTime'
WHEN (to_char(SSHIPMENTS.RECEIVEDATETIME,'hhmiss') - to_char(SSHIPMENTS.PROMISEDATETIME,'hh24miss'))< '000 01:30:00.000' THEN '60-89 Minutes'

How to get the difference between two columns in a column group

Hi All,
My first time here and really new to programming. I would like to get the difference between 2 columns that are inside
a column group.
Here is my sample table below: The Column Group is PeriodNumber and can only choose 2. like 1 and 2.. I would like to have a third row which will simply calculate the difference between the amounts in PeriodNumber 1 and 2.
PeriodNumber
Account 1 2
1) Cash 10,000 15,000
2) Receivables 12,000 11,500
3) Equipment 5,000 5,500
Total Assets 27,000 32,000

Hi yabgestopa,
From your description, you want to get the difference between two columns in a column group. After testing it in my environment, we can use custom code to achieve your requirement. For more details, you can refer to the following steps:
Copy the custom code below and paste it to your report. (Right-click report>Report Properties>Code)
Dim Shared Num1 As Integer
Dim shared Num2 As Integer
Public Function GetAmount(Amount as Integer, Type as String)
If Type = "1" Then
Num1=Amount
Else
Num2=Amount
End If
Return Amount
End Function
Public Function GetDif()
Return Num1-Num2
End function
Right-click the second column to insert a third column with Outside Group-Right.
Then use the expressions below in the matrix.
=Code.GetAmount(Fields!Amount.Value,Fields!PeriodNumber.Value)
=code.GetAmount(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value),Fields!PeriodNumber.Value)
=Code.GetDif()
The report looks like below.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Extract Time from date and Time and Need XLMOD Funtion to find the Difference between Two Time.

X6 = "1/5/15 5:16 AM" & NOW ....................difference by Only Time
not date
X6 date and Time will be changing, Its not Constant
Dim myDateTime As DateTime = X6
            Dim myDate As String = myDateTime.ToString("dd/MM/yy")
            Dim myTime As String = myDateTime.ToString("hh:mm tt")
            Dim myDateTime1 As DateTime = Now
            Dim myDate1 As String = myDateTime1.ToString("dd/MM/yy")
            Dim myTime1 As String = myDateTime1.ToString("hh:mm tt")
Need to use this function to find the Difference between Two Time. due to 12:00 AM isuue
Function XLMod(a, b)
    ' This replicates the Excel MOD function
    XLMod = a - b * Int(a / b)
End Function
Output Required
dim dd = XLMod(myTime - myTime1)
Problem is myTime & myTime1 is String Need to convert them into Time, Later use XLMOD Funtion.

Induhar,
As an addendum to this, I thought I'd add this in also: If you have two valid DateTime objects you might consider using a class which I put together a few years ago
shown on a page of my website here.
To use it, just instantiate with two DateTime objects (order doesn't matter, it'll figure it out) and you'll then have access to the public properties. For this example, I'm just showing the .ToString method:
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
Option Infer Off
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
Dim date1 As DateTime = Now
Dim date2 As DateTime = #1/1/1970 2:35:00 PM#
Dim howOld As New Age(date1, date2)
MessageBox.Show(howOld.ToString, "Age")
Stop
End Sub
End Class
I hope that helps, if not now then maybe at some point in the future. :)
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.
Thanx frank, can use this in Future....

hi,
try this.....

Function Module to get the difference between two times.

Hi All,
I want to know if there is any function module that gives me the difference between two specified times.
For Ex: Time 1: 12/01/2007 00:01 A.M
            Time 2: Time 1 - 180 Seconds. This changes the time, also may even change the Date. (As in above situation, the Time 2 will be 11/30/2007 11:58 P.M)
Could some one please suggest if there is any function module for this case.
Thanks in Advance.

Calculate the difference between two dates

I would like to calculate the difference between two dates in PL/SQL and return the result as a number of days expressed as an integer value.

Denes,
A fair point, I should really have posted this on the SQL forum (I'm new to the forum as well as PL/SQL) but thanks for responding anyway. It does raise a question as to how to implement this in ApEx though.
I have created the function and am calling it as shown below from the source window of a form. The source type is 'PL/SQL expression or function' and the expression in the source window of the form is:
calc_date_difference (:p26_c_payment, :p26_c_rec)
The two parameters being passed are of type date but I'm not sure how to handle the ruturned number and populate the form in ApEx with this value.
Is it possible to do it this way or am I taking completely the wrong approach?
Regards
Sandy
This is not ApEx related but SQL related:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION calc_date_difference (
p_date_1   VARCHAR2,
p_date_2   VARCHAR2
RETURN NUMBER
v_difference   NUMBER;
v_sql_err      VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
v_difference := TRUNC (TO_DATE (p_date_1)) - TRUNC
(TO_DATE (p_date_2));
RETURN v_difference;
CEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
v_sql_err := SQLERRM || CHR (10) || CHR (10) ||
SQLCODE;
ND calc_date_difference;and
SQL> SELECT calc_date_difference ('23.01.2007',
'20.01.2007') diff
2    FROM DUAL;

Find the difference between two internal table

how can i see the difference between two interal tables?
The requirement is as follows
1. We have a transparent table, which stores the employee data with EMP ID as key.
2. We load the transp table data into a interal table (B).
3. We get data from legecy system as file and it gets loaded into another internal table (A) (this also has the same EMP ID key and this will have latest addition/update to those emplyees).
Now we need to seperate out these data into three interal table Inserted (I), Deleted (D) and Updated (U).
We want to do followign things
I = A - B
D = B - A
Both A and B will have around 40k records. Hence we are trying to avoid the looping.
Please suggest the best option for us.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Raghavendra,
Currently as of my knowledge, these operations are only possible through LOOPs. But LOOPign can be really fast here if you properly utilize the SORTING, READ with BINARY SEARCH and FIELD-SYMBOLS usage. I would say:-
Steps for Insert:-
SORT: A, B.
LOOP AT A ASSIGNING <WA_A>.
READ TABLE B WITH TABLE KEY key = <WA_A>-key BINARY SEARCH.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
APPEND <WA_A> TO I.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Steps for Delete:-
SORT: A, B.
LOOP AT B ASSIGNING <WA_B>.
READ TABLE A WITH TABLE KEY key = <WA_B>-key BINARY SEARCH.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
APPEND <WA_B> TO D.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Ravi.

Function Module to find the Difference between two times.

Hi All,
Wud you plz let me know the Function Module to find the Difference between two times.
Input Time1( Hours:Minutes) Time2 ( Hours:Minutes)
Need Output in Hours:Minutes only . ( No seconds Needed )
Ex :
Input :
       06:00 to 18:00 Output : 12:00
and 20:00 to 06:00 Output: 10:00 with +ve sign only. No -ve sign.
Thanks,
N.L.Narayana

check this .
data : p_timel like sy-uzeit,
       p_timeh like sy-uzeit,
       diff like sy-uzeit,
       di(8) type c .
       p_timel = '200000'.
       p_timeh = '060000'.
       diff = p_timeh - p_timel.
       concatenate diff+0(2) ':' diff+2(2) into di.
       write:/ di.
also check for this.
       p_timel = '060000'.
       p_timeh = '180000'.
see if this can be implemented in ur code .
or else u can try with Fm L_TO_TIME_DIFF passing startdate enddate starttime endtime with UOM as MIN
hope this helps regards,

Calculate the Difference Between two dates excluding weekends and Holidays

Hi,
We need to calculate the difference between the two dates by excluding the Local public holidays (It is global and varies across countries) and weekends should not be included in calculation for a business day in OBIEE.
We have two dates: Open date and close date when ever close date is null we are calculating age based on taking the current timestamp and need to exclude the weekends and Holidays when ever the close date is null.
Ex:
Col1 col2 Total
11/9/2010 2:46:38 PM Null 13
11/2/2010 8:06:26 PM 11/3/2010 5:37:03 PM 1
(In the Total we shouldn't include the weekends,holidays)
Please let me know how to calculate the difference between two dates by excluding the weekends and holidays.

Return the difference between two strings

Is it possible to return the difference between two strings?
For example
String one = "We went for a walk";
String two = "We went for a run";
compare "two" to "one" returns "walk"
compare "one" to "two" returns "run"I need to return the difference of two strings, one prior to editing and one after editing.
Then I want to return any difference between the two, which will be the effect of the editing.
Cheers Alex

Interesting problem. Before you start writing any code, make up a whole bunch of test case pairs. Decide what the difference between the pairs is. When you start seeing patterns, analyse them. After a while you may have enough data to start writing your program. Here's one test case to get started with:"I saw the cat eat a rat"
"My cat is hungry"
