programmatically get BPM of a wave or MP3 from .Net

I have a project with a requirement to get the BPM of a wave or MP3 file programmatically using .Net (VB.Net or C#). Does anyone know of a binary or library for this or have a code snippet to steer me in the right direction? ...

Scaling vectors from a center point?

I'm trying to figure out if I have points that make for example a square: * * * * and let's say I know the center of this square. I want a formula that will make it for eample twice its size but from the center * * * * * * * * Therefore the new shape is twice as la...

Point in polygon OR point on polygon using LINQ

As noted in an earlier question, How to Zip enumerable with itself, I am working on some math algorithms based on lists of points. I am currently working on point in polygon. I have the code for how to do that and have found several good references here on SO, such as this link Hit test. So, I can figure out whether or not a point is ...

Mysql Algorithm for Determining Closest Colour Match

I'm attempting to create a true mosaic application. At the moment I have one mosaic image, ie the one the mosaic is based on and about 4000 images from my iPhoto library that act as the image library. I have already done my research and analysed the mosaic image. I've converted it into 64x64 slices each of 8 pixels. I've calculated the a...

Algorithms or OO stuff or new technology

I am trying to learn new stuff about jquery, html, asp .net mvc. I see two school of thoughts - Those who use oo concepts a lot and stress on more object oriented approach Those who rely heavily on algorithms and say a particular problem should take o(n) etc. I am not sure where to spend more time ? . Should I spend more time learni...

Geometric Shape Recognition & Find Extreme Points in C#

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to recognize geometric shape using C#? I have geometric shapes like triangle, hexagon, pentagon, diamond, square,parallelogram, rectangle, etc. I have drawn all these shapes using mspaint. i have one picture box, using opendialog i am selecting any of the geometric shapes, into picturebox. I want to identify...

Fastest sort of fixed length 6 int array

Answering to another StackOverflow question (this one) I stumbled upon an interresting sub-problem. What is the fastest way to sort an array of 6 ints ? As the question is very low level (will be executed by a GPU): we can't assume libraries are available (and the call itself has it's cost), only plain C to avoid emptying instruction ...

Java array of arry [matrix] of an integer partition with fixed term

Hello, for my study purpose I need to build an array of array filled with the partitions of an integer with fixed term. That is given an integer, suppose 10 and given the fixed number of terms, suppose 5 I need to populate an array like this 10 0 0 0 0 9 0 0 0 1 8 0 0 0 2 7 0 0 0 3 ............ 9 0 0 1 0 8 0 0 1 1 ............. 7 0 1 1...

What kind of hashing algorithm used to generate 12 character length alphanumeric?

What kind of hashing algorithm used to generate 12 character length alphanumeric? for example stackoverflow use 2 keys to store cookies t=IhweorwSw6K7 s=............ (#intentionally replace with . because its a session cookies) How does that hashing algorithm looks like? ...

The mathematics of Schellings segregation model

For those who don't know the model. You can read this pdf. I want to find what is the probability that 2 nodes are each others neighbors when the algorithm converges (i.e. when all nodes are happy). Here's the model in a gist. You have a grid (say 10x10). You have nodes of two kind (red and green) 45 each. So we have 10 empty s...

Purpose of IF, ELSE, FOR macros ?

I have a source code of a library which has a lot of strange IF, ELSE, FOR, etc. macros for all common C-keywords instead of using just usual if,else,for,while keywords. These macros are defined like this: #define IF( a) if( increment_if(), a) where increment_if() function is defined so: static __inline void increment_if( void) { ...

Stack and Hash joint

I'm trying to write a data structure which is a combination of Stack and HashSet with fast push/pop/membership (I'm looking for constant time operations). Think of Python's OrderedDict. I tried a few things and I came up with the following code: HashInt and SetInt. I need to add some documentation to the source, but basically I use a ha...

Algorithm to select groups of similar items in 2d array

There is a 2d array of items (in my case they are called Intersections). A certain item is given as a start. The task is to find all items directly or indirectly connected to this item that satisfy a certain function. So the basic algorithm is like this: Add the start to the result list. Repeat until no modification: Add each item in ...

algorithms that destruct and copy_construct

I am currently building my own toy vector for fun, and I was wondering if there is something like the following in the current or next standard or in Boost? template<class T> void destruct(T* begin, T* end) { while (begin != end) { begin -> ~T(); ++begin; } } template<class T> T* copy_construct(T* begin, T* ...

Estimating the size of a tree

I'd like to estimate the number of leaves in a large tree structure for which I can't visit every node exhaustively. Is this algorithm appropriate? Does it have a name? Also, please pedant if I am using any terms improperly. sum_trials = 0 num_trials = 0 WHILE time_is_not_up bits = 0 ptr = tree.root WHILE count(ptr.children)...

Permutations with extra restrictions

I have a set of items, for example: {1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3}, and a restricting set of sets, for example {{3},{1,2},{1,2,3},{1,2,3},{1,2,3},{1,2,3},{2,3},{2,3}. I am looking for permutations of items, but the first element must be 3, and the second must be 1 or 2, etc. One such permutation that fits is: {3,1,1,1,2,2,3} Is there an algorithm ...

Algorithm for best positioning objects on a Visio model

Hello, I am trying to map all network devices and create a visio file with the resulting network topology. I was wondering if there are any algorithm for best positioning the nodes on the graph, considering its connections. Connections are bidirectional, like this (may have many connections between the same nodes): --------- ...

Finding the width of a directed acyclic graph... with only the ability to find parents

Hi guys, I'm trying to find the width of a directed acyclic graph... as represented by an arbitrarily ordered list of nodes, without even an adjacency list. The graph/list is for a parallel GNU Make-like workflow manager that uses files as its criteria for execution order. Each node has a list of source files and target files. We have ...

How to choose an integer linear programming solver ?

Hi all, I am newbie for integer linear programming. I plan to use a integer linear programming solver to solve my combinatorial optimization problem. I am more familiar with C++/object oriented programming on an IDE. Now I am using NetBeans with Cygwin to write my applications most of time. May I ask if there is an easy use ILP solver f...
