I am doing scanning using twain driver and using Dynamsoft product for device connection.
Scanner produce greyscale images with huge black border. How I can do a autocrop and display prefect image to user on the browser.
I am trying to save the content of an ImageView into a file and save it as an image. The simple code snippet which I am using is:
writeImageToFile(imageView.image);
The function writeImageToFile, saves the blob in a file which contains the image displayed in the image view. All good and fine till here.
Now the point noticed in here is that, I have defined the ImageView with the width and height as 150dip. After saving the image into a file, for iPhone 5, we find that the image resolution is 300x300, and for iPhone 6 Plus it is 450x450. The image resolution varies with the screen density, which I can understand.
But my query is that is there any way to always keep the resolution fixed to 150x150 pixels. Am not sure if this is possible out of the box with Appcelerator or do we need to use external modules.
Note: This is also applicable for Android too.
You can use the Blob functions to check the image size, then decide if you need to resize. You can use imageAsResized (http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Blob-method-imageAsResized) to make a 150x150 image.
I am working with an android application for capturing an image and processing. My requirement is to scan the captured image for two thick lines and its colour on a white surface. I need to know how it is possible to do in android.
captured image is like this
Thanks for any help
I have a report that renders images (jpg) that have been collected from various sources. This works fine within the report viewer, and when exporting via Excel.
However, when exporting to PDF, about 5% of the images are rendered incorrectly as can be seen below, with the original on the left, and what is rendered on the right;
I find that if I open up one of these images in mspaint, and just click save, on the next report-run the image is now rendered correctly.
Are there any rules as to what image properties/format are valid for SSRS to render the image correctly within a PDF? Essentially I'd like to somehow find these images that will render incorrectly before the report is run and fix them prior...
Current Workaround
I never ended up getting SSRS to display the the problem images as they were, however, determining before running the report which images would be included in the non-displayable set so they could be converted to a supported format (automatically) was also a solution.
In my case, all images were supplied via users uploading to a website, so I was able to identify and convert images as they arrived. For all existing images, I was able to run a script that identified the problem images and convert them.
Identifying problem images
From the thousands of images I had, I was able to determine that the images that wouldn't render correctly had the following properties:
Image had CMYK colorspace or;
Image had extended color profiles or;
Both of the above
Converting an image
I was originally using the standard .NET GDI (System.Drawing) to manipulate images however the API is often prone to crashes (OutOfMemoryException) when dealing with images that have extra data. As such, I switched to using ImageMagick where for each of the identified images I:
Stripped the color profiles and;
Converted to RGB
Note that the conversion to RGB from CMYK without stripping the color profiles was not enough to get all images to render properly.
I ended up just doing those items on every image byte stream I received from users (without first identifying the problem) before saving an uploaded image to disk. After which, I never had the rendering problem again.
Because of the way the output looks I would say those JPEG images have CMYK colorspace but the SSRS assumes they use RGB colorspace and sets the wrong colorspace in PDF.
If you can post a JPEG image and a sample PDF I can give you more details.
I've had exactly the same problem with an image rendering correctly on screen but appearing like the one in the question when I exported the report to PDF. Here's how I solved it.
The Problem
The first clue was this article I came across on MSDN. It seems that regardless of the original image density, the PDF renderer in SSRS resizes all images to 96 DPI. If the original size of the image is larger than the size of the page (or container), then you will get this problem.
The Solution
The solution is to resize the source image such that it will fit on your page. The requires a little calculation depending on your page size and margin settings.
In my case, I'm using A4 paper size, which is 21cm by 29.7cm. However, my left margin is 1.5cm, and my right margin is 0.5cm, for a total inner width of 19cm. I allow an extra 0.5 cm as a margin of error, so I use an inner width of 18.5cm.
21 cm - 1.5 cm - 0.5 cm - 0.5 cm = 18.5 cm
As noted before, the resolution generated by the PDF renderer is 96 DPI (dots per inch). For those of us not in the United States or Republic of Liberia, that's 37.79 DPC (dots per centimetre). So, to get our width:
18.5 cm * 37.79 dpc = 699 pixels
Your result may be different depending on (1) the paper size you are using, and (2) the left and right margins.
As the page is higher than it is wide, we need only resize the width while keeping the image proportional. If you're using a paper size which is wider than it is tall, you'd use the length instead.
So now open the source image in Paint (or your image editor of choice), and proportionally resize the image to the desired width (or length) in pixels, save it, import it into your container, and size the image visually with respect to the container. It should look the same on screen, and now render correctly to PDF.
This is an issue reported to Microsoft Connect.
From SSRS 2008 How to get the best image quality possible?:
The image behavior you see in PDF is a result of some image conversions that the PDF renderer does, based on how the PDF specification requires that serialize images into PDF.
We know it's not ideal, and we classify the loss of image quality as a product issue. Therefore, it's difficult to really say what to do to get the best quality image.
Anecdotally, I have heard that customers have good results when the original image is a BMP
I need to build a Poster (8 1/2 by 11) using data entered by the user and pictures and place that poster in the user's media library. It looks like BitmapImage is the mechanism to build either a JPG or PNG image but how do I place text strings and pictures on the image in a grid/form fashion?
TIA,
George
If you need to place things in a grid ina form-style, it might be worth building it up in XAML or in code and then using WriteableBitmap to render it to a bitmap.
You might find the following posts useful to achieve this:
WP7 Screen Capture On-Device
Screen Capture on Windows Phone 7
For an example of combining images and text see how do i add text to image in c# or vb.net
Of course, any image can be printed at any size, it depends on the quality you want.
