I have worked on image capture window application. When I have captured image by application in window tablet then image quality low and show darkness in captured image background. When I have captured image by tablet then image is good quality.
What is missing/problem in my code?
I have used code share by you...
private void cam_NewFrame(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
{
Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap)eventArgs.Frame.Clone();
ImgContainer.Image = b;
}
private void btnKeep_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int width = 457;
int height = 350;
Image tmpimg = ImgContainer.Image;
System.Drawing.Bitmap b = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(ImgContainer.Image, width, height);
System.Drawing.Graphics gr = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(b);
gr.SmoothingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
gr.CompositingQuality = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
gr.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.High;
System.Drawing.Rectangle rectDestination = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0, 0, width, height);
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo codec = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders()[1];
System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters eParams = new System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters(1);
eParams.Param[0] = new System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameter(System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Quality, 100L);
string ImagePath = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
string imagefullpath = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "imageFolder\\" + ImagePath + ".jpg";
b.Save(imagefullpath);
}
Show you captured by application image ............
Show you captured by tablet ............
Please give me any idea and solution remove darkness captured by application (above image).
You can use a DrawImage with an ImageAttributes instance to change the gamma. I found 0.5f to work:
Here is a function that applies a gamma value to a bitmap and returns a modified bitmap. It is up to you to ..:
make sure you don't leak resources
make sure to apply the gamma always to the original and not repeatedly to the same bitmap when giving the user a trackbar to find a good value..
The function:
public static Bitmap ApplyGamma(Bitmap bmp0, float gamma)
{
Bitmap bmp1 = new Bitmap(bmp0.Width, bmp0.Height);
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp1))
{
ImageAttributes attributes = new ImageAttributes();
attributes.SetGamma(gamma, ColorAdjustType.Bitmap);
g.DrawImage(bmp0, new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp0.Width, bmp0.Height),
0, 0, bmp0.Width, bmp0.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, attributes);
}
return bmp1;
}
The calling code I used:
Image img = Image.FromFile(yourImage); // some image to use
float gamma = (float)(trackBar1.Value / 10f); // a trackbar to test
Text = "Gamma = " + gamma; // a control display
pictureBox1.Image = ApplyGamma((Bitmap)img, gamma);
If you also want to change contrast and/or brightness you can use a ColorMatrix. See here for an example!

I am developing an application for image processing. To zoom the image, I enlarge PictureBox. But after enlarging I get below image as result.
But I want result like below image
Here is my Code :
picturebox1.Size = new Size((int)(height * zoomfactor), (int)
(width* zoomfactor));
this.picturebox1.Refresh();
The PictureBox by itself will always create a nice and smooth version.
To create the effect you want you need to draw zoomed versions yourself. In doing this you need to set the
Graphics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.NearestNeighbor;
Then no blurring will happen..
Example:
private void trackBar1_Scroll(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap)pictureBox1.Image;
Size sz = bmp.Size;
Bitmap zoomed = (Bitmap)pictureBox2.Image;
if (zoomed != null) zoomed.Dispose();
float zoom = (float)(trackBar1.Value / 4f + 1);
zoomed = new Bitmap((int)(sz.Width * zoom), (int)(sz.Height * zoom));
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(zoomed))
{
if (cbx_interpol.Checked) g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.NearestNeighbor;
g.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.Half;
g.DrawImage(bmp, new Rectangle( Point.Empty, zoomed.Size) );
}
pictureBox2.Image = zoomed;
}
Of course you need to avoid setting the PBox to Sizemode Zoom or Stretch!
Going through the steps mentioned here
and using IDAutomationCode39, I am getting the barcode image, however they are very blurr and only scans bigger size images. My barcode id will be upto 30 characters long, which is causing a very wide barcode image. Where could the problem lie? Is it the IDAutomationCode39 or my setting in my button click event below?
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string abbre = GenerateProdCodeFromProductName();
txt2.Text = abbre;
string barcode = txt1.Text;
Bitmap bitm = new Bitmap(barcode.Length * 45, 160);
bitm.SetResolution(240, 240);
using (Graphics graphic = Graphics.FromImage(bitm))
{
Font newfont = new Font("IDAutomationHC39M", 6);
PointF point = new PointF(5f, 5f);
SolidBrush black = new SolidBrush(Color.Black);
SolidBrush white = new SolidBrush(Color.White);
graphic.FillRectangle(white, 0, 0, bitm.Width, bitm.Height);
graphic.DrawString("*" + barcode + "*", newfont, black, point);
}
using (MemoryStream Mmst = new MemoryStream())
{
bitm.Save("ms", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
pictureBox1.Image = bitm;
pictureBox1.Width = bitm.Width;
pictureBox1.Height = bitm.Height;
}
}
Thank you.
I don't see any PlugIn reference in your code, you are just using a Code39 ASCII font to print a Barcode on a Bitmap.
The problem I see is that the size of the resulting Bitmap is unscaled.
What I mean is, you let the size of the Barcode determine the size of the final graphic image.
It is usually the opposite. You have some defined dimensions for a Bitmap, because of layout constraints: you have to print the barcode to a label, for example.
If the generated Barcode is wider than its container, you have to normalize it (scale it to fit).
Here is what I propose. The size of the Bitmap if fixed (300, 150). When the Barcode is generated, its size is scaled to fit the Bitmap size.
The quality of the image is preserved, using an Bicubic Interpolation in case of down scaling. The resulting graphics is also Anti-Aliased.
(Anti-Alias has a good visual render. May not be the best choice for printing. It also depends on the printer.)
The generated Bitmap is then passed to a PictureBox for visualization and saved to disk as a PNG image (this format because of its loss-less compression).
Here is the result:
string Barcode = "*8457QK3P9*";
using (Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(300, 150))
{
bitmap.SetResolution(240, 240);
using (Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap))
{
Font font = new Font("IDAutomationSHC39M", 10, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point);
graphics.Clear(Color.White);
StringFormat stringformat = new StringFormat(StringFormatFlags.NoWrap);
graphics.TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.AntiAliasGridFit;
graphics.TextContrast = 10;
PointF TextPosition = new PointF(10F, 10F);
SizeF TextSize = graphics.MeasureString(Barcode, font, TextPosition, stringformat);
if (TextSize.Width > bitmap.Width)
{
float ScaleFactor = (bitmap.Width - (TextPosition.X / 2)) / TextSize.Width;
graphics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
graphics.ScaleTransform(ScaleFactor, ScaleFactor);
}
graphics.DrawString(Barcode, font, new SolidBrush(Color.Black), TextPosition, StringFormat.GenericTypographic);
bitmap.Save(#"[SomePath]\[SomeName].png", ImageFormat.Png);
this.pictureBox1.Image = (Bitmap)bitmap.Clone();
font.Dispose();
}
}
I'm trying to draw a part of a .png image but the code i found is not working. this is my code
//define canvas
canvas = pb.CreateGraphics();
sPicture = new Bitmap(pb.Width, pb.Height);
sCanvas = Graphics.FromImage(sPicture);
// Create a Bitmap object from a file.
Image image = Image.FromFile(#"");
// Clone a portion of the Bitmap object.
Rectangle cloneRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 11, 6);
System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat format =
image.PixelFormat;
Image cloneBitmap = image.Clone(cloneRect, format); //Error: No overload for method 'Clone' takes2 arguments
// Draw the cloned portion of the Bitmap object.
canvas.DrawImage(cloneBitmap, 0, 0);
This is for a sprite sheet and thanks.
You don't need to use Clone(), you can do this directly with Graphics.DrawImage(). It looks like you are trying to do this in WinForms. If, so handle OnPaint for the control you want to draw on. In the example below I'm drawing directly on the form.
private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
Graphics graphics = e.Graphics;
int width = 60;
int height = 60;
// Create a Bitmap object from a file.
Image sourceImage = Image.FromFile(#"C:\Users\Mike\Downloads\logo.png");
// Draw a portion of the source image.
Rectangle sourceRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height);
graphics.DrawImage(sourceImage, 0, 0, sourceRect, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
}
If you want to do this without WinForms, there is the extra step of creating the target Graphics instance.
int width = 60;
int height = 60;
// Create a Bitmap object from a file.
Image sourceImage = Image.FromFile(#"C:\Users\Mike\Downloads\logo.png");
// Create a drawing target
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(width, height, sourceImage.PixelFormat);
Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap);
// Draw a portion of the source image.
Rectangle sourceRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height);
graphics.DrawImage(sourceImage, 0, 0, sourceRect, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
// Save
bitmap.Save(#"C:\Users\Mike\Downloads\out.png");
I want to merge two pictures in my C# program.
the first one is any picture in grayscale mode, and the second one is like in this picture:
Both of the pictures/images have the same size, and this is my code:
Bitmap first = new Bitmap (picturebox1.image);
Bitmap second = new Bitmap (picturebox2.image);
Bitmap result = new Bitmap (first.width, first.height);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(result);
g.DrawImageUnscaled(first, 0, 0);
g.Flush();
g.DrawImageUnscaled(second, 0, 0);
g.Flush();
picturebox3.image = result;
I can join those picture, but the result has smaller size than the two originals (both pictures have same size). Could anyone give me some suggestions?
Additionally, I want the result picture has condition like this :
if the edge pixel in 2nd picture dropped to the bright side at the 1st one, it will be dark, otherwise when the edge dropped to the dark side, it will be bright (seem glow).
so the text will be semi transparent.
Here's an example of the results I want.
Could anyone give some suggestions please?
It was for joining
Bitmap first = new Bitmap (picturebox1.Image);
Bitmap second = new Bitmap (picturebox2.Image);
Bitmap result = new Bitmap (first.Width+first.Width, first.Height);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(result);
g.DrawImageUnscaled(first, 0, 0);
g.DrawImageUnscaled(second,first.Width, 0);
Try this for merging one on top another . set alpha by yourself ( red: U can use BitMap.MakeTransParent if u not want alpha)
public Bitmap SetImageOpacity(Image image, float opacity)
{
try
{
//create a Bitmap the size of the image provided
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(image.Width, image.Height);
//create a graphics object from the image
using (Graphics gfx = Graphics.FromImage(bmp))
{
//create a color matrix object
ColorMatrix matrix = new ColorMatrix();
//set the opacity
matrix.Matrix33 = opacity;
//create image attributes
ImageAttributes attributes = new ImageAttributes();
//set the color(opacity) of the image
attributes.SetColorMatrix(matrix, ColorMatrixFlag.Default, ColorAdjustType.Bitmap);
//now draw the image
gfx.DrawImage(image, new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height), 0, 0, image.Width, image.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, attributes);
}
return bmp;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return null;
}
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Bitmap first = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Image);
Bitmap second = SetImageOpacity(pictureBox2.Image, 0.5f);
//Bitmap result = new Bitmap(first.Width, first.Height);
//fix :
Bitmap result = new Bitmap(Math.Max(first.Width,second.Width), Math.Max(first.Height,second.Height));
Console.WriteLine(first.Width);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(result);
g.DrawImageUnscaled(first, 0, 0);
g.DrawImageUnscaled(second, 0, 0);
pictureBox3.Image = result;
result.Save("result.jpg" );
}
}
}
And Coming For watermark why not you want to use Drawstring with alpha
here is article for all these http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5034/How-to-implement-Alpha-blending
You need to include the System.Drawing.Imaging namespace to make this code work.
Go through following code:
private void CombineImages(FileInfo[] files)
{
//change the location to store the final image.
string finalImage = #"C:\\MyImages\\FinalImage.jpg";
List imageHeights = new List();
int nIndex = 0;
int width = 0;
foreach (FileInfo file in files)
{
Image img = Image.FromFile(file.FullName);
imageHeights.Add(img.Height);
width += img.Width;
img.Dispose();
}
imageHeights.Sort();
int height = imageHeights[imageHeights.Count - 1];
Bitmap img3 = new Bitmap(width, height);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(img3);
g.Clear(SystemColors.AppWorkspace);
foreach (FileInfo file in files)
{
Image img = Image.FromFile(file.FullName);
if (nIndex == 0)
{
g.DrawImage(img, new Point(0, 0));
nIndex++;
width = img.Width;
}
else
{
g.DrawImage(img, new Point(width, 0));
width += img.Width;
}
img.Dispose();
}
g.Dispose();
img3.Save(finalImage, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
img3.Dispose();
imageLocation.Image = Image.FromFile(finalImage);
}

This codeproject article shows how to watermark an image with text as well as another image.
In summary, what you have to do is draw your watermark image over the image with the desired transparency.
I am taking an image with Kinect in C# and want to display it on the next page of the application.
I can acquire the image successfully and can store it successfully on disk since I'm able to send this image as an email attachment.
The photo acquisition code is:
public void CaptureScreen(double x, double y, double width, double height)
{
int ix, iy, iw, ih;
ix = Convert.ToInt32(x);
iy = Convert.ToInt32(y);
iw = Convert.ToInt32(width);
ih = Convert.ToInt32(height);
// set the kinect hand icon invisible
kinectButton.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
kinectButton2.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
Bitmap image = new Bitmap(iw, ih,
System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(image);
g.CopyFromScreen(ix, iy, ix, iy,
new System.Drawing.Size(iw, ih),
CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy);
image.Save("../../Images/image_display.png");
desk_input();
}
I use the image_display.png file to display the image on the screen.
I'm using the following code for displaying the image:
private void desk_input() {
BitmapImage bi2 = new BitmapImage();
bi2.BeginInit();
bi2.UriSource = new Uri("/Images/image_display.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
bi2.EndInit();
photo_preview.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
photo_preview.Source = bi2;
Canvas.SetLeft(photo_preview, 750);
Canvas.SetTop(photo_preview, 400);
}
However, during run time, the photo taken when the application was run last time keeps being displayed instead of the current photo. I'm guessing this is because the image_display.png file is added to the binary when the application is compiled.
So can you suggest a way where I can display the image taken with the kinect immediately?
Edit: I solved the problem by refreshing the bitmap cache as follows:
private void desk_input() {
BitmapImage bi2 = new BitmapImage();
bi2.BeginInit();
bi2.UriSource = new Uri("/Images/image_display.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
bi2.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad; //Changed - Reload the file
bi2.EndInit();
photo_preview.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
photo_preview.Source = bi2;
Canvas.SetLeft(photo_preview, 750);
Canvas.SetTop(photo_preview, 400);
}
