How would I programmatically crop an image to a non-rectangular shape?

I want to crop a rectangular image to a non-rectangular shape. I realize that if you take that completely literally, it's not possible. What I want to end up with is image X, cropped to shape Y, on a transparent background. Let's say for example that I want to take a picture of the Idaho flag and crop it to the shape of the state of Ida...

Image processing on the iPhone

I would like to apply image processing on pictures taken on the iPhone. This processing would involve 2D matrix convolutions etc. I'm afraid that the performance with nested NSArrays would be pretty bad. What is the right way to manipulate pixel based images? Should I simply use C arrays allocated with malloc? ...

Best programming language for Image and motion processing

I'm an actionscript developer and my next project is a traffic information capture system. I'm assuming that this project will require a lot of image processing and motion capture methods on images obtained through cameras. I know I can achieve this with ActionScript, but might require sacrificing performance and accuracy. Will Java be b...

image focus calculation

Hi folks, I'm trying to develop an image focusing algorithm for some test automation work. I've chosen to use AForge.net, since it seems like a nice mature .net friendly system. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find information on building autofocus algorithms from scratch, so I've given it my best try: take image. apply sobel edge det...

OpenCV / SURF How to generate a image hash / fingerprint / signature out of the descriptors?

There are some topics here that are very helpful on how to find similar pictures. What I want to do is to get a fingerprint of a picture and find the same picture on different photos taken by a digital camera. The SURF algorithm seams to be the best way to be independent on scaling, angle and other distortions. I'm using OpenCV with th...

How to separate an image into two with java

Hi, I'm wondering if there is a "smart" way of splitting an image based on certain features. The images are 300x57, black and white (actually grayscale, but most colors are either black or white), it is comprised of two main features (let's call them blobs) separated by black space, each blob slightly varies in width and height, the pos...

GDI+:How to overlay an image on top of another one?(without using Graphics object)

I'm working on a solution that enables our users to draw annotations over images.So far I'm using graphics object to draw an image(annotations) over another one. The problem is that we can't always get a Graphics object from an image(GDI+ throws an exception if we try to get a graphics object of an indexed formatted image) So the questi...
