I've searched these forums, and found some GDI and C# links, but I really want to do some image processing in VB.NET.
how I would go about combining 2 bitmaps into one, sort of superimposed on top of eachother? I don't know what libraries are available in .NET.
How to use VB.NET 2005 for image processing?
View 5 RepliesI want to know if there's a faster way to draw images onto a picturebox based on a list of point.
vb
Dim MyPoints as New List(Of Point)
Dim MyBitmap as New Bitmap("C:MyBitmap.PNG")
[code]....
Now, This code may be a little sloppy, but I just put it together. The image isn't very simple, but it's simple enough. After about 10 images that need to be drawn, it starts to get slow.What would I need to do to ensure it draws the images faster? If I made the image itself smaller would it make it go faster?
I am writing a VB 2008 Express Edition application which has multiple forms. All of the forms contain one or more PictureBox controls. All PictureBox controls have assigned bitmaps via Image property during development mode. So far, all the bitmaps displayed during runtime without a slightest problem. Now, suddenly, not a single new one (i.e. which I add from this moment on) would display bitmap during runtime. All the old ones (i.e. those which I have added up to that unspecified point in time when something went wrong) still display bitmaps fine as they did before. But any newly added PictureBox (or, come to that, any other control which can display bitmap.
I have tried also Label control) displays the bitmap loaded via Image property only during development mode. During runtime the PictureBox shows as empty. I tried to load the bitmap during runtime via command Image.FromFile and that works fine (but I don't want to use this approach in my program). If I create a completely new application, all PictureBox controls display the bitmaps just fine. I don't get any errors or warnings in VB editor. I reinstalled the whole VB 2008 Express Edition including SP1 and .NET 3.5 SP1 with no difference whatsoever (as would be expected as any new application works with PictureBox controls fine).
How can I convert a series of bitmap files to an AVI (or any other format of video)? Or any format of image file? Or any Bitmap object?

imagine i have an image of an whole family, but then i crop just one face, to use, now i have the photo of the whole family, and the photo of a face, which is part of the big photo. what i want is an app that can scan the big image, looking for the small image, and then return if it found it, and the rectangle where the small pictures, fits, in the big picture. any ideas?

While I have got some leads from an older SO post and from this site, I haven't been able to figure out how to capture each frame of a web-cam.
What I would like to do is something like this capture a frame then do some image processing on it and display the output and then move on to the next frame.
Can I can access to web-cam frame events or is there any efficient way to achieve this?

I am not a CS major. I'm taking Mechatronics.But I'm always leaning heavily towards embedded programming and electronics. Nowadays, I would want to take the dive into PC programming. Slowly.So, I've started to learn VB.net. The syntax and basic programming principles are still ok. But I got stumped when I tried to go deeper where I see, directx, directshow, dll, avicap32, and etc. What are they? and API? How ar they connected with VB.net? It's different when I'm programming microC, where the environment is limited and dictated. Now there are options so broad until I am lost.is the architecture and what has those APIs , DLLS, and etc mean literally.Ultimate goal would be using VB.net to interface with webcam and do image processing.
View 1 RepliesI just learned some basics of multi threading in VB.net recently as I came across processing a large List of records and inserting them into SQL database one by one.

Itemlists is a global lists i retrieved from database, everything looks fine to me but when i run this program, I found that the threads are inserting one records 9 times into the database(I have 9 threads in total), which makes me think that maybe i need to specifically assign 1/9 of a list to each thread? Is there another way to do it which doesn't require the splitting of the list, if not , how do i split it then assign?
2008 Array Processing and Sequential File Processing
View 14 RepliesIm a college student and this is my first programming class, i am having extremely diffcult time with arrays and sequential file processing. Im not asking for the whole program, just something to get me started and hints along as i progress with it. Please help me get started on my program, its due in 2 days.
Here are the requirements....
1. The program must input any number of individual�s last and first names using two separate textboxes.
2. The array of names must be sorted by the last name using a bubble sort. You must code the sort.
3. The program must be able to recall the names from the file and add to the existing list of names so that more names can be added to, sorted, and written back to the file in sorted order.
4. Sort in ascending order: A to Z
5. All names must be displayed in a listbox in sorted order when the user wishes to see them.
6. In the listbox the last and first names must be separated by a comma and a space. Example: Smith, Mary
7. The user must be able to search for a name in the array, using the binary search algorithm. You must code the search.
8. Do not use module-level variables. Instead you may choose to use Static.
9. The program must be designed using Visual Basic 2008
I've been searching for hours tonight searching existing posts, other websites and all i can find are examples of how to capture a image from a webcam.Does anyone have any code that simple talks to the camera device via WIA, and then saves every image found on the device to a hard drive?I found this code below. Credit i cant tell you as i have a bunch of different flavors of code, but this only saves the file as a tmp file, and not the actual image file i expected after selecting?

.NET Bitmap class uses GDI+
I want to know how many Bitmaps I can create.
Will memory leak when create too many Bitmaps?
I'm currently working on a project where I need to bind 3 different bitmaps.Bitmap1, Bitmap2, Bitmap3.
I tried :
bitmaps = Bitmap1 & Bitmap2 & Bitmap3
But of course, that didn't work.If it's possible, I also need Bitmap1 and Bitmap3 to have a fixed size and Bitmap2 to change its width if the form is resized.
I'm trying to create a new bitmap from a filestream...I keep getting the error "parameter not valid" on the line[code]...
View 6 RepliesI'm experimenting with the various graphics, bitmap and image functions of vb.net 2010, with the aim of being able to create an image processing tutorial program for my Physics AS group. Currently, I'm trying to zoom in to an image so that individual pixels are clearly visible. The below code shows what I'm doing.
My problem is that the zoomed in image always comes out blurred; the individual square pixels are not visible. I presume this is because as the DrawImage method resizes the image, it re-samples the image in some way. Is there a way of resizing the image while retaining the pixels as in the original image, so that individual pixels are visible? I've tried several other methods, including drawing to a picturebox control and then resizing the picturebox with the size mode set to zoom or stretch... this results in the same blurred image.

I'm trying to find the colors of pixels using GetPixel(x,y) with bitmaps.
I understand how to use it and it works.
When I use .ToString I get the string version of the color.
Now when I use .ToArgb I get a negative number and the colors are backwards?
16777215 should be white and 0 should be black.
This is an example of some results:
-16273900 is showing close to black and -32567 is showing close to white.
Basically, I have a program which screenshots the form when the person clicks their mouse button. Afetr the click it will store the screenie in a bitmap.But the problem how would I store loads of picutres in different bitmaps if they for instance clicked 100 times without having to declare the bitmaps 100 times and seeing if each has a image and then checking thge next 1.
View 1 RepliesI need to draw a bitmap background with one or more moving bitmaps in the foreground; something like a chessboard where pieces move across it. I use a timer-tick event to redraw the background and then draw the relocated foreground image like the code below. But I get flicker, even though I set the form to use double-buffering. The culprit seems to be redrawing the background to refresh where the foreground images used to be; no flicker if I replace the background DrawImage with a simple Graphics.Clear. I think what I want to do is draw the background, and the foreground bitmap(s), in memory and then render it all. I used to do this with double-buffering, BitBlt, and .Refresh in VB6 but I haven't found the equivalent in VB2010. This must be a pretty common graphics requirement; what's the trick to it?
Dim Gfx As Graphics
Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint Or ControlStyles.UserPaint Or ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, True)
Dim rectBrd As Rectangle 'use as clipping region for drawing

It seems difficult to find good information on working with bitmaps. Specifically I am looking for .NET info on getting tile graphics to the screen. What I know so far is this. I need a picturebox for the display. I need a second picture box for a back buffer and then I need a third picturebox for the tiles that I would copy to the back buffer which then gets flipped to the screen.I need this to be done with .net controls and classes or functions and etc. If anyone has good information on this, please let me know. I am using visual basic 2008 express edition.
