Is it possible to output images so that they all will be inside a single window?
Before, I used to output data using only opencv functions:
cvNamedWindow("Image 1");
cvShowImage("Image 1", img);
So I change image, then call: cvShowImage function and so on.
But If I want to look at more than one image, then every new image needs its own window to be shown there And what I want is to put every such an output opencv's window inside one big main window.
Is it possible to do it? And how?
You will have to construct a new image and place each img into it. I don't think there's a builtin function like MATLAB's subplot. I recommend using the ROI functions to quickly copy an image into a region-of-interest (ROI) of the big image (which holds the others).
You can show as many images as you want on a single window using hconcat function.
Let us suppose your original image was
Mat frame;
Now clone or make a copy of this image using
Mat frame1 = frame.clone();//or
Mat frame2;
frame.copyTo(frame1);
Now let us suppose your output images are
Mat img1,img2,img3,img4;
Now if you want to show images horizontally, use
hconcat(img1,img2,frame1)//hconcat(input_image1,input_image2,destination_image);
And if you want to show images vertically, use
frame2.push_back(img1);//main_image.push_back(image_to_be_shown_below);
This process processess images one at a time, so if you want to show 4 images side by side, you have to call this function 4 times as in
hconcat(img1,img2,frame1);
hconcat(frame1,img3,frame1);
hconcat(frame1,img4,frame1);
imshow("Final Image",frame1);
NOTE:
Clone process is done because the images have to be of same size.

I don't need or want "live placement" using a camera. I will already have an image with a target in it, and a second image for which I know its real-world dimensions. I want to place this second image on top of the image with a target in it, but in the correct position/perspective, etc. Then save the result as a third combined image.
I can't find any information on how I would implement this with AR.js, or if it is even possible.
I used this code to display multiple images in the same namedWindow. Now I want to display some of the calculation results (that I have calculated before with image processing functions).
The results should be displayed in the fourth position of the namedWindow, like I show in the red square in the image below:
Is there any way in opencv that can throw console window in the namedWindow? Can I copy the results from console window in any other way on the named window? Is it possible to create somehow scrolling window with all information and put them on ?
I would suggest creating an new Mat with either ones() or zeros() and then using the function putText to insert your text.
Afterwards show the Mat like the rest before
Apologies if this is a dupe, I've been searching for over an hour but the search terms are all really broad and I just keep getting the same results. Also I'm fairly new to matlab so apologies for any misunderstandings.
Anywho, I have a matlab program which needs to frequently save an image generated from a matrix, but I just can't figure out how to do that without displaying it first. Basically I'm caught in between two functions, image and imwrite, both only do half of what I want.
image is able to take my matrix and create the desired output, but it just displays it to a figure window
imwrite is able to save an image to a file without displaying it, but the image is completely wrong and I can't find any parameters that would fix it.
Other questions I've seen deal with using imread and managing figures and stuff, but I'm just doing (for example)
matrix = rand(20);
colormap(winter);
image(matrix, 'CDataMapping', 'scaled');
or
matrix = rand(20);
imwrite(matrix, winter(256), 'filename.png');
Is there some way to call the image function such that it doesn't display a figure window and then gets saved to a file? Something analogous to calling imshow and then savefig in matplotlib.
Just do this:
matrix = rand(20);
f = figure('visible', 'off');
colormap(winter);
image(matrix, 'CDataMapping', 'scaled');
print(f, '-dpng', 'filename.png');
Is it possible to resize images on the fly and cache the result with Drupal?
I have some big images (e.g. 2000x2000px) and I want to display a preview of the e.g. 100x100px.
I know there is a theme_image_style function. But it seams to only create the <img> with the right size and not effectively resize the image.
I look at modules/images/image.admin.inc and they used the function [image_style_create_derivative][2].
Yes, you should use Drupal's Image styles (Configuration -> Media -> Image styles). There you should create your style.
Then, on front-end, when ever you want to display image with that style (in that resolution) you can use image_style_url() function:
https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!image!image.module/function/image_style_url/7
It accepts 2 parameters - one is image style machine name and other is image URI, which you can get if you print out all image field properties.
You can also select image styles from back-end interface...i.e. when creating a view for some image you can select to be displayed in specific image style.
In both cases those image styles are generated the first time image is used.
In response to your comment on MilanG's answer, using image_style_url() is the best option on the backend. There is also
https://www.drupal.org/project/resp_img
which may be something worth looking into. From a UX perspective, you don't want to force the user to load a 2000x2000 px image every time they load the page. Regardless of the outputted size, the image is still going to render as a 2000x2000 px image with a large size. image_style_url() or using image styles in the GUI create a new file that will load much quicker and is the preferred method.
I'm currently looking for a way to create a 'configurator' for a upholsters, similar to http://digitaldraping.com/configurator/furniture-sofa/?Cushions_Plain-Cream.png,Sofa_Stripe-Orange.png - you select your fabrics and they are 'drawn' on the sofa automatically.
Unfortunately, all the sites I've looked at seem to use pre-rendered transparent PNGs that are overlaid over each other to build up the full picture. The problem here is that we've figured out that we'd require over 120,000 different images to cover all models, fabrics etc!!
I've looked at a few 3d texture tools such as http://www.arahne.si/products/arah-drape.html, hoping that one of them would have a CLI option where you give it a pre-created wireframe, and a fabric to overlay, and it generates the required image on the fly, but so far everything seems to require real-time use of the GUI to use it.
So, is there a CLI tool that would do what I'm after, or can anyone suggest a way to manipulate the GUI automatically? (from a tech point of view, I'm comfortable with C, Bash, Python or PHP as a solution!)
Thanks!
ArahDrape 2.2 can now work from a command line without any GUI interface. You can also call ArahDrape as a C library. In this way, it can be used in a web server to create texture mapped images on the fly. The command line options are explained below.
ArahDrape 2.2j command line version, ©2015 Arahne
usage:
adCommand -o /tmp/outputImage.png -tN /home/user/texture.png [-hidemodel] [-divide 2] [-filterPNG] [-compressPNG 2] [-m /home/user/model.png] -owner name -activation 174b3cfb49e9 /home/user/project.drape
Input and output images can have png, .tif or .jpg extensions
-o output_image_file
-tN texture_image_file [N goes from 0 to 199]
-hidemodel will render all areas not in region as white
-divide N [N goes from 2 to 5] divide resulting image pixel size
-filterPNG if you do not filter it, rendering is faster
-compressPNG N [N goes from 0 to 9] lower number saves faster, but bigger files
-m model_image_file use this if you want to replace model image from the project; must have same pixel size
-owner owner_name pass the given owner name
-activation activation_code pass the given activation code
last parameter should be ArahDrape project file
All files should be entered with full path.
If you need spaces in filenames, use quotes "" around the filename.
If you provide only Owner name, without activation code, program returns registration code.
ArahDrape supports batch export.
Open ArahDrape project, click on texture you wish to replace, put all your texture in a directory, select from menu
Textures > Browse textures, and as you click the texture to load it, program will save the draped picture. If you have thousands of images, use keyboard shortcut = and program will automatically do them all.
Alpha channel transparency is supported in loading model images or textures, and saving the draped images, as long as you use PNG or TIFF.
Please check this video to see how
ArahDrape works in batch mode.
we (http://digitaldraping.com/) can do just what you are asking. We have two options creating images and rendering a meshed image on the fly. Just get in touch if you still need this solution.
