(TIP) The method to convert 4 bytes array to float

If you have 4 byte array, for example buffer[4], you can change the byte buffer to float.


ex)

union BitConvert{
float f;
unsigned long ul;
};

unsigned char a,b,c,d;
a = buffer[0];
b = buffer[1];
c = buffer[2];
d = buffer[3];

BitConvert EX;
EX.ul = (a << 24)  | (b << 16) | (c << 8) | d;
// or EX.ul = (d << 24) | ( c << 16)  | (b << 8) | a; (It is depend on your plaform.)

There is float value in the "EX.f".

Thank you~. ^^

(TIP) The mean of CR, LF in the serial communication

The mean of the , is like that... in the serial communication.

LF = 10 = 0x0A = '\n'
CR = 13 = 0x0d = '\r'

Thanks you. ^^

How to install OpenGL in Window OS and Visula C++ 2008

You can download OpenCV 3.7 version on this web address http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut/glut37.zip
The Zip file has below files.



1) You have to copy these file into right directories.


x86  (32bit)
glut32.dll   = C:\Windows\System32
glut.dll       = C:\Windows\System32

x64 (62bit)
glut32.dll   = C:\Windows\sysWOW64
glut.dll       = C:\Windows\sysWOW64

glut.h        = C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include\gl

glut.lib      = C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib
glut32.lib = C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib

※  If you met some errors, Copy files additional folder.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include
copy glut.lib, glut32.lib and glut.h into additional folders.

2) Visual Studio Setting
Linker->input, Additional Dependencies -> opengl32.lib glu32.lib glut32.lib

This is example source code.

#include 
void Draw()
{
    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

    glColor3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
    glBegin(GL_QUADS);
        glVertex3f(-0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f);
        glVertex3f(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f);
        glVertex3f(0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f);
        glVertex3f(-0.5f, -0.5f, 0.1f);
    glEnd();

    glFlush();
}

void main()
{
    glutCreateWindow("NeMo");
    glutDisplayFunc(Draw);
    glutMainLoop();
}

This setting process is normal course, but I met the this errors message in the Visual Studio 2008.
1>NeMo.obj : error LNK2001: __imp____glutCreateWindowWithExit@8 μ™ΈλΆ€ 기호λ₯Ό 확인할 수 μ—†μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
1>C:\Users\mare\Documents\λ„€μ΄νŠΈμ˜¨ 받은 파일\NeMo\Debug\NeMo.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1개의 확인할 수 μ—†λŠ” μ™ΈλΆ€ μ°Έμ‘°μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

SO, I have solved this problem. I made OpenGL Folder at C:\OpenGL. The Folder has DLL, Lib, Header sub-folders. (DownLoad)
 

I have done directory setting in the Visual Studio options.
And you have to change #include <~> to #include "~" on the source code.

I want to suceess to complie OpneGL Project on your machine.
Thanks you.

(TIP) Matlab Plot Option

colormap
































Below code is example of matlab help document.
x = -pi:pi/10:pi;
y = tan(sin(x)) - sin(tan(x));
plot(x,y,'--rs','LineWidth',2,...
                'MarkerEdgeColor','k',...
                'MarkerFaceColor','g',...
                'MarkerSize',10)



You can describe axes on your image.
data2 = imread('map.tif');
figure(1);
iptsetpref('ImshowAxesVisible','on');
imshow(data2); %'colormap',bone(0)
set(gca, 'XTickLabel', {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'} );
set(gca, 'YTickLabel', {100:100:700} );
xlabel('Longitude');ylabel('Latitude');

(TIP) Making a file name appending number in Matlab

It is simple and easy but I can not remember the code well when I need this code.
So I leave this code in my blog.
And I hope the code is also useful to all visitor.
Thank you.

endIndex = 10;
for j=1:endIndex
     Index = num2str(j);
     dataD = strcat(Index,'saveFile.txt')
     data = load(dataD);
end

->
This source code can load below file names sequentially.
1saveFile.txt
2saveFile.txt
3saveFile.txt
4saveFile.txt
5saveFile.txt
6saveFile.txt
7saveFile.txt
...

Screen capture and save program/ C++ source code


Created Date : 2011.11
Language :C++
Tool : Visual Studio 2008
Library & Utilized : CImage
Reference : Internet
etc. : -



I made this program to help my friend.
This progrma is screen capture program.
At first, we do whole screen capture and set region of screen to capture.
Then start capture and image saving in real-time.
The image file is saved in your program directory.
The file name of the saved image is like that "Time.jpg(EX: 11223242.jpg, 11223243.jpg...)"




The program is made based on below capture program.

#include 
void Capture() 
{ 

   
    int nx =0, ny = 0;
    CImage capImage;
    CWnd *pDesktopWnd = GetDesktopWindow();
    HDC hDC = NULL; 
    if(!pDesktopWnd) 
        return; 
    CWindowDC DeskTopDC(pDesktopWnd); 
    nx = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
    ny = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN); 
    if(!capImage.Create(nx, ny, 32))
        return;
    hDC = capImage.GetDC();
    BitBlt(hDC, 0,0, nx, ny, DeskTopDC.m_hDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY); 
    capImage.Save(_T("test.jpg"), Gdiplus::ImageFormatJPEG); 
    capImage.ReleaseDC();

}


I am hard to make file name of capture image because the progrma requires UNICODE type character.

So I solved this problem as below code.

    int T = time(NULL);
    TCHAR str[100];
    wsprintf(str,_T("%d.jpg"),T);
    ImageTemp.Save(str, Gdiplus::ImageFormatJPEG);     
    ImageTemp.ReleaseDC();

Thread Test in the C++ console mode.

The goal of this source code is how to send large data to the thread and how to wait until all thread finish their job.


I made 3 threads for testing.
I use struct to send the large data.
and I use the flags for waiting the time of the all thread finish.
