How take picture using project tango ?
I read this answer: Using the onFrameAvailable() in Jacobi Google Tango API
which works for grabbing a frame but picture quality is not great. Is there any takePicture equivalent ?
Note that java API
public void onFrameAvailable(int cameraId) {
if (cameraId == TangoCameraIntrinsics.TANGO_CAMERA_COLOR) {
mTangoCameraPreview.onFrameAvailable();
}
}
does not provide rgb data. If I use android camera to take picture, tango can not sense depth. There I will have to use TangoCameraPreview.
Thanks
You don't have to use TangoCameraPreview to get frames in Java. It is really just a convenience class provided to help with getting video on the screen. It appears to be implemented entirely in Java with calls to com.google.atap.tangoservice.Tango (i.e no calls to unpublished APIs). In fact, if you look inside the Tango SDK jar file, you can see that someone accidentally included a version of the source file - it has some diff annotations and may not be up to date but examining it is still instructive.
I prefer not to use TangoCameraPreview and instead call Tango.connectTextureId() and Tango.updateTexture() myself to load frame pixels into an OpenGL texture that I can then use however I want. That is exactly what TangoCameraPreview does under the hood.
The best way to capture a frame in pure Java is to draw the texture at its exact size (1280x720) to an offscreen buffer and read it back. This also has the side effect of converting the texture from whatever YUV format it has into RGB (which may or may not be desirable). In OpenGL ES you do this using a framebuffer and renderbuffer.
Adding the framebuffer/renderbuffer stuff to a program that can already render to the screen isn't a lot of code - about on par with the amount needed to save a file - but it is tricky to get right when you do it for the first time. I created an Android Studio sample capture app that saves a Tango texture as a PNG to the pictures folder (when you tap the screen) in case that is helpful for anyone.

I want to play video in in photo frame when image is detected, anybody who have done this using ARCore? would be great help
Thanks
I think you mean you want to add a video as a renderable in ARCore, in your case when an image is detected.
There is actually (at the time of writing) an example included with Sceneform showing how to add a video as a renderable - it is available here: https://github.com/google-ar/sceneform-android-sdk/tree/master/samples/chromakeyvideo
This particular example also applies a Chroma filter but you can simply ignore that part.
The approach is roughly:
create an ExternalTexture to play the video on
create a MediaPlayer and set its surface to the ExternalTexture's surface
build a new renderable with the ExternalTexture
create a node and add it to your scene
set the renderable for the node to the the new ModelRenderable you built
For Augmented images, ArCore will automatically calculate the size of the image that it detects so long as the state of the image is 'TRACKING". From the documentation:
ARCore will attempt to estimate the physical image's width based on its understanding of the world. If the optional physical size is specified in the database, this estimation process will happen more quickly. However, the estimated size may be different from the specified size.
Your renderable will be sized to fit inside this by default but you can scale the renderable up or down as you want also.
There is a series of articles available which may cover your exact case, depending on exactly what you need, along with some example code here: https://proandroiddev.com/arcore-sceneform-simple-video-playback-3fe2f909bfbc
External texture is not working now a days create video node to show videos.

I've been experimenting with ARCore for the past few months. I have read almost all the documentation. Talking in reference to the sample app, what I want to do is to extract the superimposed image from the app i.e a frame containing the camera texture and also the bots drawn by opengl (like a screenshot). In preview 2, they have provided TextureReader class which extracts just the camera texture. I've been trying a lot but haven't been able to succeed in getting the superimposed image. Is there a way to do it or is it just impossible?
Sample code specifically for the HelloAR sample to capture the image (and save it to the device) is in this answer: How to take picture with camera using ARCore
I think basically you want to have a screenshot from the OpenGL view. This question should help you: Screenshot on android OpenGL ES application
I'm making desktop app in Java Swing.
In my app I do some image processing on my image which is a 16 bit, Gray-Scale and tiff image.
In my app the user can open images from tree using drag and drop of image into a JDesktopPane.
Now when user done some process on image like Remove Noise or set Contrast, when they close the image my app should ask if they want to Save Changes in Image?
So how can i check run time that some changes in Original image?
The java.awt.image.Raster contained in a BufferedImage does not override Object#equals(). This is largely because iterating over w * h pixels can get expensive: O(wh). Any optimization depends on the nature of the change. If you're only looking for global changes, such as noise or contrast, comparing a number of samples may suffice. You'll also want to profile your intended usage.
Best reader,
I'm stuck on one of my concepts.
I'm making a program which classroom children can measure themselves with.
This is what the program includes;
- 1 webcam (only used for a simple webcam view.)
- 2 phidgets (don't mind these.)
So, this was my plan. I'll draw a rectangle on the webcamview and make it repaint itself constantly.
When the repainting is stopped by one of the phidgets, the rectangle's value will be returned in centimeters or meters.
I've already written the code of the rectangle that's repainting itself and this was my result:
(It's a roundRectangle, the lines are kind of hard to see in this image, sorry about that.)
As you can see, the background is now simply black.
I want to set the background of this JFrame as a webcam view (if possible) and then draw the
rectangle over the webcam view instead of the black background.
I've already looked into jmf, fmj and such but am getting errors even after checking my webcam path and adding the needed jar libraries. So I want to try other options.
So;
- I simply want to open my webcam, use it as background (yes live stream, if possible in some way).
And then draw this rectangle over it.
I'm thus wondering if this is possible, or if there's other options for me to achieve this.
Hope you understand my situation, and please ask if anything's unclear.
EDIT:
I got my camera to open now trough java. The running camera is of type "Process".
This is where I got the code for my camera to open: http://www.linglom.com/2007/06/06/how-to-run-command-line-or-execute-external-application-from-java/
I adjusted mine a little so it'll open my camera instead.
But now I'm wondering; is it possible to set a process as background of a JFrame?
Or can I somehow add the process to a JPanel and then add it to a JFrame?
I've tried several things without any succes.
My program as it is now, when I run it, opens the measuring frame and the camera view seperatly.
But the goal is to fuse them and make the repainting-rectangle paint over the camera view.
Help much appreciated!
I don't think it's a matter of setting a webcam stream as the background for your interface. More likely, you need to create a media player component, add it to your GUI, and then overlay your rectangles on top of that component.
As you probably know from searching for Java webcam solutions in Stack Overflow already, it's not easy, but hopefully the JMF Specs and API Guide will help you through it. The API guide is a PDF and has sections on receiving media streams, as well as sample code.
I want to be able to draw consecutive bitmaps (of type BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB) of a video as quickly as possible in java. I want to know the best method in doing so. Does anyone have any advice where I should start? From what I've read, 2 options are:
1) Use GDI/GDI+ routines in a JNI dll working with JAWT (Im on Windows)
2) Use Java3D and apply Textures to a Box's face and rotate it to the camera
Im interesting in any advice on these topics as well as any others.
I have done a decent amount of GDI/GDI+ programming in VB when i created an ActiveX control, so using GDI should be painless, but im guessing Java3D will utilize the GPU more (I could be wrong) and give better performance. What do you think? GDI and JAWT with my previous experience, or start and new API journey with Java3D.
Thanks in advance. :)
To obtain a fluid animation (if it what you want to get), you need to use double buffering. For doing this, you will need to create a new java.awt.Image (or a subclass like BufferedImage, or if you want OpenGL accelerated processing, VolatileImage) for each frame you want to display. If you haven't already done so, call Image.getGraphics() to get a java.awt.Graphics object (can also be useful to add your content to the Image). At the end, when you hidden Image is complete, call Graphics.draw() to replace the current display smoothly.
VolatileImage is OpenGL accelerated and much faster. When VolatileImage.getGraphics() is called, it actually returns a Graphics2D, which is also part of the accelerated graphic pipeline.
It works on Windows, Linux and Solaris, but you need to have OpenGL drivers installed for your graphic card.
