can you suggest a good option for background subtraction using emgucv? my project is real time pedestrian detection.
Not sure if you still need this, but...in EmguCV, if you have 2 images of say type Image<Bgr, Byte> or any other type, called img1 and img2, doing img1 - img2 does work! There is a function called AbsDiff as well, I think it works like this: img1.AbsDiff(img2), you could look into that.
If you already have the picture of the background (img1) and you have the current frame (img2), you could do the above.
This is quite possible take a look at the "MotionDetection" example provided with EMGU this should get you started.
Effectively the code that removes the foreground is effectively named "_forgroundDetector" it is the "_motionHistory" that presents stores what movement has occurred.
The example has everything you need if you have trouble running it let me know,

I'm developing a Windows 8.1 Store App. I have a CommandBar control with a couple of AppBarButtons inside. Using the standard icons is easy, I just set the icon property to the appropriate string like so :
<AppBarButton Icon="Download" Label="Download Files"/>
I'd like to use a couple of custom icons from the very nice free collection Modern UI Icons. Ideally, I'd like to be able to set the icon property in much the same way :
<AppBarButton Icon="transit.distance.to" Label="Distance to destination"/>
This would refer to this icon : PNG / XAML
Is this possible ?
If not, what are the alternatives ?
Tim Heuer proposes using a font file, although at present the font files available here only cover a sub-set of the icons, and also this code is quite unreadable :
<FontIcon FontFamily="ms-appx:///modernuiicons.ttf#Modern-UI-Icons---Social" Margin="0,2,0,0" Glyph="" FontSize="37.333" />
Would you believe that shows a twitter icon?!
Tim Heuer also proposes using vector data, and one of the commenters explains how the vector data can be rolled into a style. I could do that, but then I would have to copy and paste the path data for each icon I want to include ?
Should I be using the PNG files, as explained in this question ? That looks pretty messy as well.
What a nightmare!
I'm not sure what the nightmare part is -- you want to use a custom icon that isn't present in the 200+ supplied defaults. You have options:
Use SymbolIcon and supply your own font. You note that you don't like that the code feels unreadable. Unicode ranges are universally used for symbol fonts and I agree that Unicode isn't human-readable, but a simple code comment would help ;-) Fonts give you the most ease and flexibility because they are also vectors.
PathIcon. You convert your image into vector geometries we can render. This would be the second best, but also requires a bit fine tuning of the vectors to get right. For people not familiar with working with geometries this can be annoying at first. Blend and Inkscape are helpful tools here.
BitmapIcon. This would allow you to use your PNG, however you now must supply multiple of them for different scales and states. This is my least favorite option as it requires most work, but for some may be the simplest. Now your problem you will hit is there is an issue with BitmapIcon for non-rectangular shapes (which looks like your icon is). This won't have the fidelity you seek due to a bug in rasterizing.
Contact metroicon author and see if he can put it into the font file so you can use option #1 :-)
Maybe this is what you're looking for:
<AppBarButton Label="Transit">
<AppBarButton.Icon>

Hope this helps!
I need my [[+idx]] tv to start at 0 instead of 1 so I tried this:
[[+idx:decr]] or [[+idx:substract=1]] but it gives me -1 (minus one).
Does anyone know another way to obtain 0?
Thank you
Using this in chunk for getImageList works (at least for me):
[[+idx:decr]]
It gives: 0,1,2,3 ....
P.S. using modx revo 2.3.1
set your template variable default to 0 when you create the variable.
What are you trying to do, your question is vague at best.
UPDATE
ok - what I think will work for you is to write a snippet to do the math... where ever you call the [[+idx]] instead write a snippet
[[!FixIDX? &itemindex=`[[+idx]]`]]
then in your FixIDX snippet just do the math with php and return the corrected index. Though perhaps a custom output modifier would be the better way to go: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Input+and+Output+Filters+(Output+Modifiers)
Though looking at the docs, your code should certainly work - I see no reason for it not to.
First let me say I'm coming from the iOS world and am trying to make my first OSX app. So apologies for the question if the answer is obvious. :)
I'm trying to setup an NSTextView to resize according to the amount of text in it. I've been successful at getting the NSTextView to resize properly but it's superview (NSScrollView) won't resize.
This is what I have so far...
[self.messageBodyTextView setVerticallyResizable:YES];
[self.messageBodyTextView.layoutManager ensureLayoutForTextContainer:self.messageBodyTextView.textContainer];
[self.messageBodyTextView.layoutManager boundingRectForGlyphRange:NSMakeRange(0, [self.messageBodyTextView.layoutManager numberOfGlyphs]) inTextContainer:self.messageBodyTextView.textContainer];
NSRect rect = [self.messageBodyTextView.layoutManager usedRectForTextContainer:self.messageBodyTextView.textContainer];
[self.messageBodyTextView.textContainer setContainerSize:rect.size];
[self.messageBodyTextView setMaxSize:NSMakeSize(self.messageBodyTextView.bounds.size.width, rect.size.height)];
[self.messageBodyTextView.textContainer setHeightTracksTextView:YES];
[self.messageBodyScrollView.documentView setFrameSize:rect.size];
[self.messageBodyScrollView.documentView setFrame:rect];
[self.messageBodyScrollView setFrameSize:rect.size];
self.messageBodyTextView resizes just fine with all this code (I have a feeling a have a bunch of redundant code in there). But self.messageBodyScrollView either doesn't resize at all or if I try to use setBounds then it not only resizes messageBodyTextView to messageBodyScrollView's full size but it also stretches out the text inside.
note: messageBodyTextView and messageBodyScrollView are both attached to my IB doc as IBOutlets.
My code used to be a lot shorter but this is where I've gotten to by adding in anything I can find to make these two views match up.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
As the title says, the height of my tabs is not increasing as it should, my code looks like this:
JTabbedPane jtp = new JTabbedPane();
JLabel iconInTab = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("myImage.png"));
iconInTab.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100,80)); // is the size of my Image, I've also try to do this using getSize
jtp.addTab(null,new JPanel());
jtp.setTabComponentAt(0,iconInTab);
I've also try this using html but it did not work either:
jtp.addTab("<html><p><p><p></html>",new ImageIcon("myImage.png"),new JPanel());
with the first code the problem is not the change of the size horizontally (the width change correctly), the problem is only on the height, with the second code, if I add multiple lines inside the html code, the text appear incomplete (just show the middle line) (also the width behaves as expected, the problem is the height). . .
why is this happening? or how could I get this done?
Note: S.O.: Mac OS X 10.8.1
Solved!!! The problem was that the default UI over MAC OS X (com.apple.laf.AquaTabbedPaneContrastUI), you only need to change it to the basicTabbedPaneUI (or the one of your preference), in my particular case I need to extend this class (it was a pain in the *, because what I wanted was really complex) to get the look & feel that I was expecting, if you have the same trouble just do this before adding your tabs:
myTabbedPane.setUI(new BasicTabbedPaneUI());
Note: Checking the default UI of your TabbedPane, may solve many different problems.
This question kind of starts where this question ends up. MATLAB has a powerful and flexible image display system which lets you use the imshow and plot commands to display complex images and then save the result. For example:
im = imread('image.tif');
f = figure, imshow(im, 'Border', 'tight');
rectangle('Position', [100, 100, 10, 10]);
print(f, '-r80', '-dtiff', 'image2.tif');
This works great.
The problem is that if you are doing a lot of image processing, it starts to be real drag to show every image you create - you mostly want to just save them. I know I could start directly writing to an image and then saving the result. But using plot/rectangle/imshow is so easy, so I'm hoping there is a command that can let me call plot, imshow etc, not display the results and then save what would have been displayed. Anyone know any quick solutions for this?
Alternatively, a quick way to put a spline onto a bitmap might work...
When you create the figure you set the Visibile property to Off.
f = figure('visible','off')
Which in your case would be
im = imread('image.tif');
f = figure('visible','off'), imshow(im, 'Border', 'tight');
rectangle('Position', [100, 100, 10, 10]);
print(f, '-r80', '-dtiff', 'image2.tif');
And if you want to view it again you can do
set(f,'visible','on')
The simple answer to your question is given by Bessi and Mr Fooz: set the 'Visible' setting for the figure to 'off'. Although it's very easy to use commands like IMSHOW and PRINT to generate figures, I'll summarize why I think it's not necessarily the best option:
As illustrated by Mr Fooz's answer, there are many other factors that come into play when trying to save figures as images. The type of output you get is going to be dependent on many figure and axes settings, thus increasing the likelihood that you will not get the output you want. This could be especially problematic if you have your figures set to be invisible, since you won't notice some discrepancy that could be caused by a change in a default setting for the figure or axes. In short, your output becomes highly sensitive to a number of settings that you would then have to add to your code to control your output, as Mr Fooz's example shows.
Even if you're not viewing the figures as they are made, you're still probably making MATLAB do more work than is really necessary. Graphics objects are still created, even if they are not rendered. If speed is a concern, generating images from figures doesn't seem like the ideal solution.
My suggestion is to actually modify the image data directly and save it using IMWRITE. It may not be as easy as using IMSHOW and other plotting solutions, but I think it is more efficient and gives more robust and consistent results that are not as sensitive to various plot settings. For the example you give, I believe the alternative code for creating a black rectangle would look something like this:
im = imread('image.tif');
[r,c,d] = size(im);
x0 = 100;
y0 = 100;
w = 10;
h = 10;
x = [x0:x0+w x0*ones(1,h+1) x0:x0+w (x0+w)*ones(1,h+1)];
y = [y0*ones(1,w+1) y0:y0+h (y0+h)*ones(1,w+1) y0:y0+h];
index = sub2ind([r c],y,x);
im(index) = 0;
im(index+r*c) = 0;
im(index+2*r*c) = 0;
imwrite(im,'image2.tif');
I'm expanding on Bessi's solution here a bit. I've found that it's very helpful to know how to have the image take up the whole figure and to be able to tightly control the output image size.
% prevent the figure window from appearing at all
f = figure('visible','off');
% alternative way of hiding an existing figure
set(f, 'visible','off'); % can use the GCF function instead
% If you start getting odd error messages or blank images,
% add in a DRAWNOW call. Sometimes it helps fix rendering
% bugs, especially in long-running scripts on Linux.
%drawnow;
% optional: have the axes take up the whole figure
subplot('position', [0 0 1 1]);
% show the image and rectangle
im = imread('peppers.png');
imshow(im, 'border','tight');
rectangle('Position', [100, 100, 10, 10]);
% Save the image, controlling exactly the output
% image size (in this case, making it equal to
% the input's).
[H,W,D] = size(im);
dpi = 100;
set(f, 'paperposition', [0 0 W/dpi H/dpi]);
set(f, 'papersize', [W/dpi H/dpi]);
print(f, sprintf('-r%d',dpi), '-dtiff', 'image2.tif');
If you'd like to render the figure to a matrix, type "help #avifile/addframe", then extract the subfunction called "getFrameForFigure". It's a Mathworks-supplied function that uses some (currently) undocumented ways of extracting data from figure.
Here is a completely different answer:
If you want an image file out, why not just save the image instead of the entire figure?
im = magic(10)
imwrite(im/max(im(:)),'magic.jpg')
Then prove that it worked.
imshow('magic.jpg')
This can be done for indexed and RGB also for different output formats.
You could use -noFigureWindows to disable all figures.
