What kind of time resolution do you want? If you want sensitive microsecond timing you'll have to look into alternatives for the Unix gettimeofday() function on Windows. Or perhaps there are other high-resolution timer classes available...depends what you want, exactly.

Anyone know how to *extract* the shear X and shear Y values from a 2D (3x3) affine transform matrix? I've got code extracts the rotation, translation, and scale values, but not shear. So far google isn't turning up much, other than tons of stuff on how to apply a shear to the matrix (I already have that in place).

Well, the ShearX and ShearY values would be here:
1, Y, 0,
X, 1, 0,
0, 0, 1
If you already know how to apply shear to a matrix, whats so hard about getting the values? Am i completely missing something?
Infact, how are you getting the other values? If i were to scale along the x-axis by 2, and the y-axis by 3. Then translate by (5,3) i would end up with this matrix:
2, 0, 0
0, 3, 0
10,9, 1
But if i translate then scale we just get:
2, 0, 0
0, 3, 0
5, 3, 1
So how can you know what order transformations where done in, without knowing what transformations where applied and vice versa?

Good question!
Here's the code for extracting the values. Note I got this from another lib, so I'm not 100% clear on all the math - I *think* I understand the idea behind it though.
double matrix_[3][3];
double Matrix2D::getRotation() const
{
double x1 = 0.0;
double y1 = 0.0;
double x2 = 1.0;
double y2 = 0.0;
apply(x1, y1);
apply(x2, y2);
return atan2(y2-y1, x2-x1);
}
void Matrix2D::getScale( double& x, double& y ) const
{
double x1 = 0.0;
double y1 = 0.0;
double x2 = 1.0;
double y2 = 1.0;
Matrix2D rot;
rot.rotate( -getRotation() );
rot.multiply( *this );
rot.apply(x1, y1);
rot.apply(x2, y2);
x = x2 - x1;
y = y2 - y1;
}
note that apply() simply transforms the (x,y) values by whatever is in the matrix_ array.

I see, so you can get the rotation without worrying about scale or translate etc, because the rotation is completely separate. To get the scale you have to undo the rotation, so you can pretty much just get the values of X and Y here:
X, 0, 0
0, Y, 0
0, 0, 1
Shear and translate are in different parts of the matrix.
The problem is, both shear and translate are affected by Scale, so you'd have to know if the matrix was scaled before or after a shear or translate was applied (if at all).
Rotation isn't affected by scale because the angle remains the same, and the points just get further from the origin. So, the best you can do is to undo the rotation like you have in getScale() and just get the values from the matrix, even thought they may have been scaled.
So, using the apply method (rather than just using the array, i don't know if you have direct access to it):
void Matrix2D::getShear( double& x, double& y ) const
{
double x1 = 1.0;
double y1 = 1.0;
Matrix2D rot;
rot.rotate( -getRotation() );
rot.multiply( *this );
rot.apply(x1, y1);
x = x1-1;
y = y1-1;
}
I think...

Jim,
SK is right, you should just be able to get these from inspection. Perhaps I don't understand what you want to extract. Do you want the shear equations?

Hi Guys. I posted this in the C# forum but I can't seem to get any help with finding something that can return a 16 digit number. I have a list of numbers that I need to sum up but the problem is that it totals to a 16 digit number or more. Problem is that currently I can't find anything that can do this in C# unless somebody here knows of anything else I can use.
Does anybody have any ideas??
Thanks in advance

If what you're totaling is overflowing a 16-bit number then you cannot return a 16 bit number without losing precision. You'd have to return at least a 32 bit number with the result of the summation.
For example:
short[] numbers = new short[] { short.MaxValue, short.MaxValue, short.MaxValue, short.MaxValue };
short total = 0;
foreach (short number in numbers)
total += number;
Console.WriteLine(total);
Returns -4 as the result, obviously not what you want, this is because you've overflowed and the number has rolled back to zero. If you change total to an int then you get the correct result.
I doubt it. If it isn't intuitive then we need to fix it. - Chris Maunder

Well, a 16-digit number is a 16-bit one only in base 2.

You could just make your own class that deals with the numbers in binary?

I'm not a C# user, but a few moments with google threw up:

UInt64 tops out at 2^64, which is around 20 digits in base 10.
Theres an article on the MSDN on "integral types in .Net" (from the top of my head) which gives all the details. Decimal is quite a bit bigger, similar to the SQL currency type. Decimal is usually large enough for most purposes.
- Anyone with enough things that you need bigger than decimal to count them can afford to have a bigint library written for them

If you can't find the equivalent of int__64 (ULONGLONG for me) in C# you can break your sum into a set of essentially 'multi-digit' digits.
That is: an accumulator for 0-999, another for 1,000-999,000, another for 1,000,000-999,000,000, etc. Now, every time your 0-999 accumulator goes greater than 1000, subtract the 1,000's off that accum and add 1 to the 1,000-999,000 accum.
Do you see it?

Hi everyone,
I have a small question, for my school project i need to make a program for counting brick in image.
So I have a picture with nothing but bricks on it, and i need to count them,
the idea i have is to use Sobel algorithm, blur, binaryzation and region search, something like that.
Is is the right way to go, or is there any better one?
Thank you all for your help!

I would say you have it spot on... filter the image and then apply a region counting algorithm.
The filtering is relatively simple... but the region finding could be harder (I've never used/made one).
If you get the original image down to just the outlines of the bricks (via the filters), then you could use a Monte-Carlo based search to look for borders surrounding each point.
[I wish I had a school project as interesting as yours!]

Hmm ya all i need is some guidance where i can get this algorithms implemented in C#.
Thnx for your reply.

First, you ask for some advice on if your approach to the problem, which is fine. But now you respond to Mathew's advice saying you just want help on how to cheat to do your homework. I was going add a litte to his advice but now I won't and you'll probably not get any further help.

Well what can i say...basically this came out wrong, because i found some algorithms, but they are written in java, so i wondered if there is any...ok...not just for this problem, but if there is any site with algorithms (general) where code is in C#.
Well if i don't get any help any more...so be it.
Thnx anyway at least for confirming that the approach is at least a bit correct.

C# is very similar to Java (C# partly originated from it). You should be able to translate the code with little hassle. If you get stuck, post your code, and so long as your question is reasonable, we'd be happy to help.

Yes, to echo what Mark said. The way to approach us on this is to present the problem, describe what you've done to solve it, and ask why you're not getting the results you expect. Then you'll probably get some help. But to post like you're simply looking for a place to cut and paste your homework won't fly. We get plenty of queries like that and they're generally all told to take a hike, some less politely than others.
One potential problem with the method you sketched is that the lines you get after you run the Sobel and threshold is they may contain gaps for one reason or another. You may need a way to look at the partial lines and fill in the blanks. Since the problem is fairly artificial, you have a lot of prior knowledge about what you're looking for.

Well project done...basically I managed to get all algorithems done, except region search, but well in the end I used AForge .NET Framework and got the job done in the fraction of time.
Thank you all for your help and assistance.
