I have uploaded a zip file to OSS. Then, call API job to translate zip to svf. The result is:
remaning progress 0%
Why? Please tell me how to fix this issue.
If the design file inside the ZIP is too complex, or if our translation workers are unusually busy, the translation may take a while.
If even after several hours the Model Derivative job still reports progress 0%, please contact us via forge (dot) help (at) autodesk (dot) com, and share the URN of your model so that we can take a look on our end.

I have created a Custom Image Recognition collection on IBM Cloud and am using it in my Django website to do the processing. However, I noticed that the response time ranges from 6 to 14 seconds.
I want to reduce this turnaround time. I am already zipping the image file that I sent. So when going through the API reference document here on IBM Cloud I noticed that there is a method called "get_model_file" which download the collection file to a local space.
But no documentation on how this can be used. Anyone who has successfully implemented this? Or am i missing something here?
However, I noticed that the response time ranges from 6 to 14 seconds.

How many images at at time are you sending in the zip file to the /analyze endpoint? If you are just sending one image at a time, you should not bother zipping it. Also, if you can, you should parallelize your code so that you make 1 request per image, rather than sending, say 6 images in a single zip file. This will reduce the latency.
Using the v4 API, by the way, you should resize your images to no more than 300 pixels in either width or height. In fact, you can "squash" the aspect ratio to square and it will not affect the outcome. The service will do this resizing internally anyhow, but if you do it on the client side, you save network transmission and decoding time.
With a single image at a time, if your resolution is under 300x300 pixels, you should have latency under 1.5 seconds on a typical call, including your network transmission time.
As the documentation states
Currently, the model format is specific to Android apps.
So unless you are creating an Android App then this is not going to work for you.
You probably have two areas of latency. First will be from the browser to your Django app. Second will be from your Django app to the Visual Recognition service. I am not sure where you have hosted the Django app, but if you locate it in the same region (data centre would be even better) you might be able to reduce part of the latency.
Firstly, I'm not a programmer so please excuse me if my question lacks technical accuracy.
Basically I have a situation where I have a camera recording a timelapse, taking a photograph at predetermined intervals (in this case 60 seconds) and then saving the image to a Dropbox folder.
I regularly monitor the Dropbox folder to ensure the images are being captured, but there have been situations where the camera has failed and I've not been aware for 24hours or so.
Ideally what I am looking for is a small program that can monitor the Dropbox folder and report back (perhaps by email) to say if an image capture has failed.
There are two parameters that I'd need to set; the interval (in this case every 60 seconds) and the period over which the camera is running (in this case 6am - 6pm).
I've managed to find several different programs that will monitor if a file is written to a folder, but not a program to determine if a file has NOT been written.
Just wanted to ask the community if this would be possible and whether anybody would be able to help?
Many thanks in advance for your advice.

The only way to do this is to read the memory addresses and find if there is anything with the extension .temp. Other than that, you'd have to be on Linux.
Looping through memory, especially in this day and age with 32GB-64GB of RAM becoming commonplace, it is highly inefficient to do this.
Essentially, no, I don't believe there is any way to practically do this.
I'm starting to work with the Google Tango Tablet, hopefully to create (basic) 2D / 3D maps from scanned areas. But first I would like to read as much about the Tango (sensors / API) as I can, in order to create a plan to be as time efficient as possible.
I instantly noticed the ability to learn areas, which is a very interesting concept, nevertheless I couldn't find anything about these so called Area Description Files (ADF).
I know the ADF files can be geographically referenced, that they contain metadata and an unique UUID. Furthermore I know their basic functionalities, but that's about it.
In some parts of the modules ADF files are referred to as 'maps', in other parts they are just called 'descriptions'.
So what do these files look like? Are they already basic (GRID) (2D) maps, or are they just descriptions?
I know there are people who already extracted the ADF files, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
From Tango ADF Doco
Important: Saved area descriptions do not directly record images or
video of the location, but rather contain descriptions of images of
the environment in a very compressed form. While those descriptions
can’t be directly viewed as images, it is in principle possible to
write an algorithm that can reconstruct a viewable image. Therefore,
you must ask the user for permission before saving any of their
learned areas to the cloud or sharing areas between users to protect
the user's privacy, just as you would treat images and video.
Other than that there doesn't seem to be much info about the file internals - I use a lot of them, but I've never been compelled to look inside - curious yes, but not compelled
Without any direct info from the project Tango folks anything we provide would be merely speculation. I'm with Mark, not much compelling reason to get details. My speculation: probably contains a set of image descriptors, like SIFT, and whatever other known device settings are available, like GPS location, orientation (gravity), time(?), etc.
I got the ADF file, basically coded binaries and seems difficult to decode.
I will be happy to share the file if anyone is still interested.
My website http://theminimall.com is taking more loading time than before
initially i had ny server in US at that time my website speed is around 5 sec.
but now i had transferred my server to Singapore and loading speed is got increased is about 10 sec.
the more waiting time is going in getting result from Store Procedure(sql server database)
but when i execute Store Procedure in Sql Server it is returning result very fast
so i assume that the time taken is not due to the query execution delay but the data transfer time from the sql server to the web server how can i eliminate or reduce the time taken any help or advice will be appreciated
thanks in advance
I took a look at your site on websitetest.com. You can see the test here: http://www.websitetest.com/ui/tests/50c62366bdf73026db00029e.
I can see what you mean about the performance. In Singapore, it's definitely fastest, but even there its pretty slow. Elsewhere around the world it's even worse. There are a few things I would look at.
First pick any sample, such as http://www.websitetest.com/ui/tests/50c62366bdf73026db00029e/samples/50c6253a0fdd7f07060012b6. Now you can get some of this info in the Chrome DevTools, or FireBug, but the advantage here is seeing the measurements from different locations around the world.
Scroll down to the waterfall. All the way on the right side of the Timeline column heading is a drop down. Choose to sort descending. Here we can see the real bottlenecks. The first thing in the view is GetSellerRoller.json. It looks like hardly any time is spent downloading the file. Almost all the time is spent waiting for the server to generate the file. I see the site is using IIS and ASP.net. I would definitely look at taking advantage of some server-side caching to speed this up.
The same is true for the main html, though a bit more time is spent downloading that file. Looks like its taking so long to download because it's a huge file (for html). I would take the inline CSS and JS out of there.
Go back to the natural order for the timeline, then you can try changing the type of file to show. Looks like you have 10 CSS files you are loading, so take a look at concatenating those CSS files and compressing them.
I see your site has to make 220+ connection to download everything. Thats a huge number. Try to eliminate some of those.
Next down the list I see some big jpg files. Most of these again are waiting on the server, but some are taking a while to download. I looked at one of a laptop and was able to convert to a highly compressed png and save 30% on the size and get a file that looked the same. Then I noticed that there are well over 100 images, many of which are really small. One of the big drags on your site is that there are so many connections that need to be managed by the browser. Take a look at implementing CSS Sprites for those small images. You can probably take 30-50 of them down to a single image download.
Final thing I noticed is that you have a lot of JavaScript loading right up near the top of the page. Try moving some of that (where possible) to later in the page and also look into asynchronously loading the js where you can.
I think that's a lot of suggestions for you to try. After you solve those issues, take a look at leveraging a CDN and other caching services to help speed things up for most visitors.
You can find a lot of these recommendations in a bit more detail in Steve Souder's book: High Performance Web Sites. The book is 5 years old and still as relevant today as ever.
I've just taken a look at websitetest.com and that website is completely not right at all, my site is amoung the 97% fastest and using that website is says its 26% from testing 13 locations. Their servers must be over loaded and I recommend you use a more reputatable testing site such as http://www.webpagetest.org which is backed by many big companies.
Looking at your contact details it looks like the focus audience is India? if that is correct you should use hosting where-ever your main audience is, or closest neighbor.
I've read about systems which use the Flickr database of photos to fill in gaps in photos (http://blogs.zdnet.com/emergingtech/?p=629).
How feasible is a system like this? I was toying with the idea (not just a way of killing time but as a good addition to something I am coding) of using Flickr to get photos of a certain entity (in this case, race tracks) and reconstruct a model. My biggest concern is that there aren't enough photos of a particular track and even then, it would be difficult to tell if two photos are of the same part of the racetrack, in which case one of them may be irrelevant.
How feasible is something like this? Is it worth attempting by a sole developer?
Sounds like you're wanting to build a Photosynth style system - check out Blaise Aguera y Arcas' demo at TED back in 2007. There's a section about 4 minutes in where he builds a model of the Sagrada Família from photographs.
I say +1 for photosynth answer, its a great tool. Not sure how well you could incorporate it into your own app though.
Its definately feasable. Anything is possible. And yes, doable for a single developer, just depends how much free time you have. It would be great to see something like this integrated into Virtual Earth or Google Maps Street View. Someone who could nail some software like this could help 3D model the entire world based purely on photographs. That would be a great product and make any single developer rich and famous.
So get coding. :)
I have plenty of free time, as I am in between jobs.
One way to do it is to get an overhead view of the track layout, make a blueprint based on this model, and then get one photo of the track and mimic the track's road colour. That would be a start.
LINQ to Flickr on codeplex has a great API and would be helpful for your task.
