Non-blocking read of /dev/input/mice in java - linux

I am trying to poll a mouse and update its position in Java using "/dev/input/mice". However right now I cannot figure out a way to determine if there is new data. How do I read an input file in a non-blocking way?
public class Mouse {
String MOUSE_STREAM = "/dev/input/mice";
BufferedInputStream bis;
private Mouse(){
bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File (MOUSE_STREAM)));
}
public Vect getDelta() {
int sumX = 0;
int sumY = 0;
// This is what I want, but available always returns 0;
// while (bis.available() > 3) {
// Otherwise, If I don't check then .read() will block until the next event
int buttons = bis.read();
int x = bis.read();
int y = bis.read();
sumX += x;
sumY += y;
}
return new Vect(sumX, sumY);
}
}
PS I need to be using a very low level interface because I'm operating in a Real-Time version of linux without much support for higher level libraries.

SpriteBatch.Draw in rectangle

I want to make something like Terraria item sidebar thing. (the Left-top rectangles one). And here is my code.
Variables are
public Rectangle InventorySlots;
public Item[] Quickbar = new Item[9];
public Item mouseItem = null;
public Item[] Backpack = new Item[49];
public int selectedBar = 0;
Here is the initialization
inventory[0] = Content.Load<Texture2D>("Contents/Overlays/InventoryBG");
inventory[1] = Content.Load<Texture2D>("Contents/Overlays/InventoryBG2");
update method
int a = viewport.Width / 22;
for (int b = 0; b <= Quickbar.Length; ++b)
{
InventorySlots = new Rectangle(((a/10)*b)+(b),0,a,a);
}
draw method
spriteBatch.Begin();
for (int num = 0; num <= Quickbar.Length; ++num )
spriteBatch.Draw(inventory[0], InventorySlots, Color.White);
spriteBatch.Draw(inventory[1], InventorySlots, Color.White);
spriteBatch.End();
Yes it is not done, but when i try to run it, the texture didn't show up.
I am unable to find out what is wrong in my code.
is it in with SpriteBatch? In the draw method? or In the Update?
Resolved
The problem isnt at the code Itself. the Problem is in this:
int a = viewport.Width / 22;
The thing is, i trought that viewport in here (I've used a Starter Kit) is the Game Window!
You are assigning InventorySlots overwriting its content...
also it seems that you want to draw two sprites... but you are drawing only one inside the loop... and your looping over Quickbar when seems that its not related with your drawing calls.
And it seems that your slot layout calculations have few sense...
You should use an array or a list:
public List<Rectangle> InventorySlots = new List<Rectangle>();
// You put this code in update... but it's not going to change..
// maybe initialize is best suited
// Initialize
int a = viewport.Width / 22;
InventorySlots.Clear();
for (int b = 0; b < Quickbar.Length; ++b)
{ // Generate slots in a line, with a pixel gap among them
InventorySlots.Add( new Rectangle( 1 + (a+2) * b ,0,a,a) );
}
//Draw
spriteBatch.Begin();
for (int num = 0; num < InventorySlots.Count; ++num )
{
spriteBatch.Draw(inventory[0], InventorySlots[num], Color.White);
spriteBatch.Draw(inventory[1], InventorySlots[num], Color.White);
}
spriteBatch.End();

Getting Depth of other objects Kinect

I'm a newbie in kinect programming, i am working on a ball tracking using kinect and opencv..we all know that kinect provides Depth data, and with the code below:
DepthImagePoint righthandDepthPoint =
sensor.CoordinateMapper.MapSkeletonPointToDepthPoint
(
me.Joints[JointType.HandRight].Position,
DepthImageFormat.Resolution640x480Fps30
);
double rightdepthmeters = (righthandDepthPoint.Depth);
using this, I am able to get the depth of a right hand, using the function MapSkeletonPointToDepthPoint() by specifing the jointtype..
Is it possible to get the depth of other objects by specifying in the image where?
given the coordinate..I want to get the depth of the object in that coordinate?
Pulling depth data from the Kinect SDK can be extracted from the DepthImagePixel structure.
The example code below loops through the entire DepthImageFrame to examine each of the pixels. If you have a specific coordinate you wish to look at, remove the for loop and set the x and y to a specific value.
// global variables
private const DepthImageFormat DepthFormat = DepthImageFormat.Resolution320x240Fps30;
private const ColorImageFormat ColorFormat = ColorImageFormat.RgbResolution640x480Fps30;
private DepthImagePixel[] depthPixels;
// defined in an initialization function
this.depthWidth = this.sensor.DepthStream.FrameWidth;
this.depthHeight = this.sensor.DepthStream.FrameHeight;
this.depthPixels = new DepthImagePixel[this.sensor.DepthStream.FramePixelDataLength];
private void SensorAllFramesReady(object sender, AllFramesReadyEventArgs e)
{
if (null == this.sensor)
return;
bool depthReceived = false;
using (DepthImageFrame depthFrame = e.OpenDepthImageFrame())
{
if (null != depthFrame)
{
// Copy the pixel data from the image to a temporary array
depthFrame.CopyDepthImagePixelDataTo(this.depthPixels);
depthReceived = true;
}
}
if (true == depthReceived)
{
// loop over each row and column of the depth
for (int y = 0; y < this.depthHeight; ++y)
{
for (int x = 0; x < this.depthWidth; ++x)
{
// calculate index into depth array
int depthIndex = x + (y * this.depthWidth);
// extract the given index
DepthImagePixel depthPixel = this.depthPixels[depthIndex];
Debug.WriteLine("Depth at [" + x + ", " + y + "] is: " + depthPixel.Depth);
}
}
}
}

Check for Text within an Image C#. Is using memcmp an option?

I'm working on a research project which requires me to identify text within an image. Over the forum I saw a post of using memcmp, but I'm having no luck with this.
To give more details on my task :
I screen capture this. My image reads "GPS: Initial Location 34 45 23".
I then dip into a predefined map of images that I load at the start of my application.The map contains images for text - Initial, Reset, Launch, ....
How do I check if the image I captured matches to one of the predefined images in the map.
Kindly help.
Attaching a snapshot of code
public static bool CompareMemCmp(Bitmap b1, Bitmap b2)
{
if ((b1 == null) != (b2 == null)) return false;
var bd1 = b1.LockBits(new Rectangle(new Point(0, 0), b1.Size), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, b1.PixelFormat);
var bd2 = b2.LockBits(new Rectangle(new Point(0, 0), b2.Size), ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, b2.PixelFormat);
try
{
IntPtr bd1scan0 = bd1.Scan0;
IntPtr bd2scan0 = bd2.Scan0;
int stride = bd1.Stride;
int len = stride * b1.Height;
int stride2 = bd2.Stride;
int len2 = stride2 * b2.Height;
for (int i = 0; i < len; ++i)
{
bd1scan0 = bd1.Scan0 + i;
int test = memcmp(bd1scan0, bd2scan0, len2);
if (test == 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("Found the string");
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
finally
{
b1.UnlockBits(bd1);
b2.UnlockBits(bd2);
}
}
If you are looking for an exact match, i.e. a match where every bit is the same, you could use this approach. However, if this is not the case, other algorithms might be better. One example would be to use cross correlation. I used it to compare audio files and it works great. See this question

Raw Sound playing

I've been working for some time with image formats and i know that an image is an array of pixels (24- maybe 32 bits long). The question is: what is the way a sound file is represented? To be honest i'm not even sure what i should be googling for. Also i would be interested how do you use the data, i mean actually playing the sounds in the file. For an image file you have all sorts of abstract devices to draw an image on(Graphics:java,c#, HDC:cpp(win32), etc.) .I hope i have been clear enough.
Here's a dandy overview of how .wav is stored. I found it by typing "wave file format" into google.
http://www.sonicspot.com/guide/wavefiles.html
WAV files can also store compressed audio, but I believe most of the time they are not compressed. But the WAV format is designed as a container for a number of options on how that audio is stored.
Here's a snipped of code that I found at another question here at stackoverflow that I like in C# that builds a WAV-formatted audio MemoryStream and then plays that stream (without saving it to a file, like many other answers rely on). But saving it to a file can easily be added with one line of code if you want it saved to disk, but I would think that most of the time, that'd be undesirable.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows.Forms;
public static void PlayBeep(UInt16 frequency, int msDuration, UInt16 volume = 16383)
{
var mStrm = new MemoryStream();
BinaryWriter writer = new BinaryWriter(mStrm);
const double TAU = 2 * Math.PI;
int formatChunkSize = 16;
int headerSize = 8;
short formatType = 1;
short tracks = 1;
int samplesPerSecond = 44100;
short bitsPerSample = 16;
short frameSize = (short)(tracks * ((bitsPerSample + 7) / 8));
int bytesPerSecond = samplesPerSecond * frameSize;
int waveSize = 4;
int samples = (int)((decimal)samplesPerSecond * msDuration / 1000);
int dataChunkSize = samples * frameSize;
int fileSize = waveSize + headerSize + formatChunkSize + headerSize + dataChunkSize;
// var encoding = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
writer.Write(0x46464952); // = encoding.GetBytes("RIFF")
writer.Write(fileSize);
writer.Write(0x45564157); // = encoding.GetBytes("WAVE")
writer.Write(0x20746D66); // = encoding.GetBytes("fmt ")
writer.Write(formatChunkSize);
writer.Write(formatType);
writer.Write(tracks);
writer.Write(samplesPerSecond);
writer.Write(bytesPerSecond);
writer.Write(frameSize);
writer.Write(bitsPerSample);
writer.Write(0x61746164); // = encoding.GetBytes("data")
writer.Write(dataChunkSize);
{
double theta = frequency * TAU / (double)samplesPerSecond;
// 'volume' is UInt16 with range 0 thru Uint16.MaxValue ( = 65 535)
// we need 'amp' to have the range of 0 thru Int16.MaxValue ( = 32 767)
// so we simply set amp = volume / 2
double amp = volume >> 1; // Shifting right by 1 divides by 2
for (int step = 0; step < samples; step++)
{
short s = (short)(amp * Math.Sin(theta * (double)step));
writer.Write(s);
}
}
mStrm.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
new System.Media.SoundPlayer(mStrm).Play();
writer.Close();
mStrm.Close();
} // public static void PlayBeep(UInt16 frequency, int msDuration, UInt16 volume = 16383)
But this code shows a bit of insight into the WAV-format, and it is even code that allows a person to build your own WAV-format in C# source code.

Analyze "whistle" sound for pitch/note

I am trying to build a system that will be able to process a record of someone whistling and output notes.
Can anyone recommend an open-source platform which I can use as the base for the note/pitch recognition and analysis of wave files ?
Thanks in advance
As many others have already said, FFT is the way to go here. I've written a little example in Java using FFT code from http://www.cs.princeton.edu/introcs/97data/. In order to run it, you will need the Complex class from that page also (see the source for the exact URL).
The code reads in a file, goes window-wise over it and does an FFT on each window. For each FFT it looks for the maximum coefficient and outputs the corresponding frequency. This does work very well for clean signals like a sine wave, but for an actual whistle sound you probably have to add more. I've tested with a few files with whistling I created myself (using the integrated mic of my laptop computer), the code does get the idea of what's going on, but in order to get actual notes more needs to be done.
1) You might need some more intelligent window technique. What my code uses now is a simple rectangular window. Since the FFT assumes that the input singal can be periodically continued, additional frequencies are detected when the first and the last sample in the window don't match. This is known as spectral leakage ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_leakage ), usually one uses a window that down-weights samples at the beginning and the end of the window ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_function ). Although the leakage shouldn't cause the wrong frequency to be detected as the maximum, using a window will increase the detection quality.
2) To match the frequencies to actual notes, you could use an array containing the frequencies (like 440 Hz for a') and then look for the frequency that's closest to the one that has been identified. However, if the whistling is off standard tuning, this won't work any more. Given that the whistling is still correct but only tuned differently (like a guitar or other musical instrument can be tuned differently and still sound "good", as long as the tuning is done consistently for all strings), you could still find notes by looking at the ratios of the identified frequencies. You can read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_%28music%29 as a starting point on that. This is also interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_key_frequencies
3) Moreover it might be interesting to detect the points in time when each individual tone starts and stops. This could be added as a pre-processing step. You could do an FFT for each individual note then. However, if the whistler doesn't stop but just bends between notes, this would not be that easy.
Definitely have a look at the libraries the others suggested. I don't know any of them, but maybe they contain already functionality for doing what I've described above.
And now to the code. Please let me know what worked for you, I find this topic pretty interesting.
Edit: I updated the code to include overlapping and a simple mapper from frequencies to notes. It works only for "tuned" whistlers though, as mentioned above.

i think this open-source platform suits you
http://code.google.com/p/musicg-sound-api/
Well, you could always use fftw to perform the Fast Fourier Transform. It's a very well respected framework. Once you've got an FFT of your signal you can analyze the resultant array for peaks. A simple histogram style analysis should give you the frequencies with the greatest volume. Then you just have to compare those frequencies to the frequencies that correspond with different pitches.
in addition to the other great options:
csound pitch detection: http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/pvspitch.html
fmod: http://www.fmod.org/ (has a free version)
aubio: http://aubio.org/doc/pitchdetection_8h.html
You might want to consider Python(x,y). It's a scientific programming framework for python in the spirit of Matlab, and it has easy functions for working in the FFT domain.
If you use Java, have a look at TarsosDSP library. It has a pretty good ready-to-go pitch detector.
Here is an example for android, but I think it doesn't require too much modifications to use it elsewhere.
I'm a fan of the FFT but for the monophonic and fairly pure sinusoidal tones of whistling, a zero-cross detector would do a far better job at determining the actual frequency at a much lower processing cost. Zero-cross detection is used in electronic frequency counters that measure the clock rate of whatever is being tested.
If you going to analyze anything other than pure sine wave tones, then FFT is definitely the way to go.
A very simple implementation of zero cross detection in Java on GitHub
