Hello, I'm working on a project which needs to bring real-time images from a camera to the computer. I want to use C++ to read the images in and do motion detection and tracking based of the video images. Do you think C++ is the best language to attempt this in? Would you recommend C# or...

Hello, I'm doing a senior project that involves real-time video display and motion tracking based off the incoming video. I'm investigating right now what kind of tools are available and best suited for such a project. So far, I've heard about Directx, Intels OpenCV, and Microsoft Vision...

Hello, I'm preparing for a senior projoct which involves using a camera to detect and track motion in real-time. It seems to me that my best option is to use the JMF or Directx. Can anyone give me their input on which one they like better and why? If I understand correctly, Java might be...

Hi, I'm working on my senior project and I need to be able to display real-time video in a gui I write. I've been trying to decide what might be the best tool to do this. How feasible is it to do this in directx? Would anyone recommend a tool like opencv or video OCX? (From what I...

Thanks for the reply. I have a couple follow up questions. I don't have any experience programming with DirectX. How would I start to do that? Also, I've read up on a few C++ additions such as OpenCV from intel and Video OCX. Does anyone know whether these might be a better alternative to...

Hello All I'm just starting on my senior project this semester. Part of my project is a video motion sensor. The idea is to connect a video camera to the computer and pull in images at a certain framerate. Those images would then be compared to a starting image to detect any major changes...

Thanks for taking the time to respond. However, I looked into both of those things and they don't seem to be the cause of the problem. I have plenty of space left in the filesystems and my tcpip is set up. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Whenever I try and start my AIX host, an error message comes up which reads as follows: The DT messaging system could not be started. To correct the problem: 1. Choose [OK] to return to the login screen. 2. Select Failsafe Session from the login screen's option menu and log in. 3. Check to...

Hello, I'm working on a program which has a text area. I'd like to be able to hightlight a portion of the text area and edit whatever is highlighted. For example, search out the word "the" and change it to "there". My first question is how to search for words in a text...

I need to store several hundred peices of information in strings in my program. Is there a much of a difference between an array of 200 strings, each with one word, or just one string with 200 lines or words? If I use the one string, I'd have to pull the information out individually while an...

I have a program which uses arrays of strings to keep track of a lot of information which the user can update or alter. I need to keep track of all the information somehow and allow it to be seen and adjusted by a user but I'm afraid the arrays of strings use up too much memory. Currently, I'm...

Sorry about that. I was out for awhile and I assumed that the initial responses to my post were the final word on the subject. You were all helpful in your posts; however I have to admit that what I know in java is self-taught so I am a little unfamiliar with mouselisteners. I've taken the...

On a program I'm working on, I'd like to be able to either right-click or alt-click or something similar to get two separate actions from the same button. I usually use the button.addActionListener(actionevent e) code for buttons but I don't know how to implement the ideas above. Please let me...

In java 1.3.1, how do you put an actionlistener on a tab. I'd like a function to before performed every time a tab is selected. Thanks.

I considered using a table initially, but I was under the impression that within a table you had to put the text fields. I might have been wrong with that idea. I'd like to find out if a table might be a better alternative. If anyone knows I'd appreciate you letting me know. Thanks.
