Michael

such as cameras, phones, computers, etc. What do you think the computer of the future will be like? What capabilities will it have that computers currently donât have? Do you see desktop computers becoming obsolete in
I mean becoming obsolete in the near future?

Answer
Well, D-Wave's quantum computer is worth watching.

Personally, I don't see desktop computers becoming obsolete especially soon.

I mean, I'm typing this on a mechanical keyboard and I'm looking at a display on my desk. That's the same as I used in about 1972, except back then it was a Tektronics storage display connected to a CDC mainframe. It's a setup I'm comfortable with. I've used smartphones, and I've used projection walls but for editing documents this is better. Of course, that's just the human interface - whether the computer is a mainframe, cloud, under the desk or built into the keyboard is of less concern.

I can see voice recognition finally making the leap to actually working for everyone, regardless of background noise and your accent.

For hardware, if 3D printers take off, I can see 3D laser or ultrasound scanners becoming more common, and some medical diagnostics becoming more mainstream (again, perhaps ultrasound or MRI based)

can I use a flat bed scanner to photograph a 3D object?

ben

Im not looking to photograph anything large, just 2"-3" tall. When I scan an object, anything touching the glass comes out clear, but anything 1/2" or more off the glass comes out blurred and dark. Is there a particular scanner out there that is known to scan objects well? Or is there some special techniques I can try to enhance my images quality? Thank you

Answer
Nope, sorry. Flatbed scanners are only focused on the glass with that .5 you discovered. You can make some cool images by rolling the thing along the motion of the scanning sensor that may look pretty groovy, but you cannot take a photo.
I'd walk into the closest camera shop and ask to see a camera and bring a card in with you to take the image home.

What is an optical scanner and how does it work?

3d scanner large objects image

huzaifai

Answer
in computing, a scanner is a device that analyzes an image (such as a photograph, printed text, or handwriting) or an object (such as an ornament) and converts it to a digital image. Most scanners today are variations of the desktop (or flatbed) scanner The flatbed scanner is the most common in offices. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, were briefly popular but are now not used due to the difficulty of obtaining a high-quality image. Both these types of scanners use charge-coupled device (CCD) or Contact Image Sensor (CIS) as the image sensor, whereas older drum scanners use a photomultiplier tube as the image sensor.

Another category of scanner is a rotary scanner used for high-speed document scanning. This is another kind of drum scanner, but it uses a CCD array instead of a photomultiplier.

Other types of scanners are planetary scanners, which take photographs of books and documents, and 3D scanners, for producing three-dimensional models of objects.



Scanners typically read red-green-blue color (RGB) data from the array. This data is then processed with some proprietary algorithm to correct for different exposure conditions and sent to the computer, via the device's input/output interface (usually SCSI or USB, or LPT in machines pre-dating the USB standard). Color depth varies depending on the scanning array characteristics, but is usually at least 24 bits. High quality models have 48 bits or more color depth. The other qualifying parameter for a scanner is its resolution, measured in pixels per inch (ppi), sometimes more accurately referred to as samples per inch (spi). Instead of using the scanner's true optical resolution, the only meaningful parameter, manufacturers like to refer to the interpolated resolution, which is much higher thanks to software interpolation. As of 2004, a good flatbed scanner has an optical resolution of 1600â3200 ppi, high-end flatbed scanners can scan up to 5400 ppi, and a good drum scanner has an optical resolution of 8000â14,000 ppi.

Manufacturers often claim interpolated resolutions as high as 19,200 ppi; but such numbers carry little meaningful value, because the number of possible interpolated pixels is unlimited. The higher the resolution, the larger the file. In most cases, there is a trade-off between manageable file size and level of detail. Resolutions higher than 1200dpi are overkill for colour printers and monitors.

The third important parameter for a scanner is its density range. A high density range means that the scanner is able to reproduce shadow details and brightness details in one scan.

Does anyone know of a site that I can get a PICTURE if the apparatus used in both the CAT scan and the MRI?

Computed tomography (CT), originally known as computed axial tomography (CAT or CT scan) and body section roentgenography, is a medical imaging method employing tomography where digital geometry processing is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the internals of an object from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation. The word "tomography" is derived from the Greek tomos (slice) and graphein (to write). CT produces a volume of data which can be manipulated, through a process known as windowing, in order to demonstrate various structures based on their ability to block the X-ray beam. Although historically (see below) the images generated were in the axial or transverse plane (orthogonal to the long axis of the body), modern scanners allow this volume of data to be reformatted in various planes or even as volumetric (3D) representations of structures.

MRI is short for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. (If your doctor has sent you for an MRA [Magnetic Resonance Angiography], this is also a kind of MRI.) MRI is an advanced technology that lets your doctor see internal organs, blood vessels, muscles, joints, tumors, areas of infection, and more -- without x-rays, surgery, or pain. MRI is very safe; in fact, it makes use of natural forces and has no known harmful effects. It's important to know that MRI will not expose you to any radiation.

which is better?

cyrax_07

which is better? kaspersky or nod32? ....

Answer
Nod32/kaspersky both r my fav.

but kaspersky is damn slow...

but nod32 is ultra fast, no more slow down system,

nod32 work nice with 3D games....

so no more slowdown games

and prize...

Nod 32......$39.00 for one year and I can't seem to find the cost of a renewal fee..

Kaspersky...$39.95

( he he but i m using cracked version :P )

***********

This is simply a software vendor using available tests to show their product in the best possible light.

1. NOD probably has the best heuristics of any AV at the present time BUT it needs this as it is slower than a number of vendors in adding new malware to their database, particularly if it is slow-spreading.

2. It is a very fast scanner but not the fastest. Again they have reported its performance against SELECTED rivals. Command AV and F-Prot, for example, IME, are faster on-demand scanners than NOD.

3. Again the RAM footprint figures are again selective. Command, F-Prot, Dr Web and KAV 6 all have lower memory footprints than NOD.

4. ITW detection over at VirusBulletin does not show the true picture as you can fail the test with false positives and yet still pass the test even if you do not score 100% detection!!! However, NOD is very good at ITW threats.

It is better to look at a range of testing sites to get an overall picture.

NOD is a very good AV and it has shown hugh improvements in its detection rate in the last 12-18 months and version 3 is on the way.

But it has deliberately chosen to give high priority to the tests over at VirusBulletin and recently av-comparatives so it can use the results over on its main site and in its Advertisements in the Computer Press. Compared to other vendors, they make sure they are prepared for ITW testing for VirusBulletin as the samples are known prior to testing. Moreover, they make sure that they add the MISSED zoo malware samples from any av-comparatives test to their database. Some vendors however, such as Dr Web, are very slow to add these missed samples and therefore they would not use this test on their web-site!

Overall this is very good PR by Eset.

ALL AV vendors obviously use any information in the best way to highlight the main reasons why you should choose their product. After all they are commercial vendors!!!!!!

I have been a licensed user of both NOD and KAV for many years and both will give you good protection.

But do not expect a balanced viewpoint on a KAV forum. But then again I would not expect a fair discussion if KAV was discussed on the NOD forum at Wilders.

Help with VB6 to VB.NET conversion!?

3d scanner laser line image

RjSowden

I'm asking this because I don't know anything about VB6 (It was around before I was born), and theirs no point in me having to spend 6 weeks learning all the functions ect... when their are others with a much better understanding who will get it right first time.

I need to convert this code :

Private WindowWidth
Private WindowHeight
Private threshold
Private rgbvalue

Private Sub Form_Load()
'
WindowWidth = 320
WindowHeight = 240
myy = 1

End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

Dim R As Long
Dim G As Long
Dim B As Long

Dim myx
Dim myy
Dim rgbvalue

threshold = Slider1.Value '1600000 '3876853 'Reverse BGR hex value for a red colour
Text1.Text = threshold
threshold = 1585276

myy = 1

mynumber = 1
mytextnumber$ = mynumber

Form1.Picture3 = LoadPicture("D:\Colin Ord\3d scanner\3D Scanner RT 2009\rgb.jpg")

mytextnumber$ = "D:\Colin Ord\3d scanner\3D Scanner RT 2009\" & "1.jpg"

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number = 53 Or 481 Then
'Debug.Print "Some problem with loading jpg image."
Resume Next
End If

Picture1 = LoadPicture(mytextnumber$)

For xcnt = 0 To WindowWidth
If Picture1.Point(xcnt, 30) > threshold Then '100000 Then
origin = xcnt

GoTo start:
End If
Next

start:

For myy = 0 To WindowHeight

For myx = 0 To WindowWidth
If Picture1.Point(myx, myy) > threshold Then '1000000 Then
GoTo here:
End If
Next

here:

Picture1.PSet (myx, myy), RGB(255, 255, 0)
Picture1.Line (0, 30)-(WindowWidth, 30), RGB(0, 255, 0)

If Form1.Picture3.Point(myx, myy) > 100000 Then
rgbvalue = Form1.Picture3.Point(myx, myy)
End If

rotx = origin - myx
roty = myy * 2
rotz = (rotx + myx) / 2

'Output file
Open "D:\Colin Ord\3d scanner\3D Scanner RT 2009\freescanRGB_object_01.asc" For Append As #1

'Read RGB values from hex pixel colour
R = &HFF& And rgbvalue
G = (&HFF00& And rgbvalue) \ 256
B = (&HFF0000 And rgbvalue) \ 65536

' Aligns scan with laser angle offset and skew
rot = 30 * 0.0174532 '57.29577951
rotzz = rotz * Cos(rot) - myx * Sin(rot)
rotxx = rotz * Sin(rot) + myx * Cos(rot)
rotyy = roty 'myy '/ 2

'create the vertex string - 'X Y Z R G B'
Print #1, ((rotxx + rotx) & " " & (rotyy / 2) & " " & ((rotzz * -2) * 2) & " " & R & " " & G & " " & B)
Close #1

'LASER LINE PREVIEW BOX- Draws each vertex with a red dot.
Picture2.PSet (myx, myy), RGB(255, 0, 0)
Next

End Sub

...Into VB.NET So I can tweak it and put it into my own application. I got it from text right off the internet, so I cant try to import it into .NET and let that convert it for me, because I cant save it. Thanks to everyone who can give advice, and I'll definitely give out a best answer. Thanks so much again in advance!
I do know that the Timer class doe's need a handler. I know VB.NET well. Picture3 defines a picture box control

Answer
It looks like either your code is not complete or there is a reference library that you're going to need for this.

Form1.Picture3 = LoadPicture("D:\Colin Ord\3d scanner\3D Scanner RT 2009\rgb.jpg")

LoadPicture is not defined anywhere in the code you posted. There is also nothing listed here to make the Timer1_Timer sub run.

You're going to have to find the missing parts to this project if you want to use it as written. Otherwise you're going to have to disect it pulling out bits & pieces to make it work for you.

Does the CT Scan need a darkroom and cassette to produce radiographs?

"TORPEdo"

Some of us know that the X-ray machine needs a darkroom for the processing of the radiographs. I'm just wondering if the CT scan still needs a darkroom to produce diagnostic images and a cassette that will contain the film.

Answer
Nope!

The CT scanner contains an x-ray tube, the same as a regular x-ray room, but has detectors on the other side, rather than a film cassette. The tube and detectors spin around you (this part is called the gantry) acquiring information continuously (in a spiral) as you move through it on the table.

All the information from the detectors is gathered by the Image Capture System (called raw data) which is then reconstructed, first into a usable image, and then into any way the operator chooses - in different planes, in different slice thicknesses, in different brightness/contrasts ('windows') concentrating on different body parts (ie, bone or soft tissue or lung), or in cool 3D pictures.

These images are then sent electronically to a workstation for the radiologist to report from, and sometimes to the Internet, over a secure connection, for the referring doctor to view.

(PS Even most general x-ray rooms these days don't use film - they use an electronic plate that captures the charge of the x-ray, which is then put through a reader to load onto the computer. The plate is then (electronically) wiped clean and then reused. Some places even have direct-capture systems where the plate is eliminated all together!)

JustASmall

What is it called and what does it do... thanks!!

Answer
Try these. All are FREE......

Pencil : http://www.pencil-animation.org/
Pencil is an animation/drawing software for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. It lets you create traditional hand-drawn animation (cartoon) using both bitmap and vector graphics. Pencil is free and open source.

Synfig Animation Studio : http://synfig.org/
Synfig is a powerful, industrial-strength vector-based open-source 2D animation software package, designed from the ground-up for producing feature-film quality animation with fewer people and resources.2D Animation has traditionally been very expensive because every frame must be drawn by hand. Even with today´s digital inking and painting software, the process still relies on individuals hand-drawing each frame. This laborious task is called "tweening".Synfig eliminates the task of manual tweening, producing smooth, fluid motion without the animator having to draw out each frame individually. This allows you to produce 2D animation with fewer people while producing art of a higher quality.

Tapptoons Linetester : http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/tapptoons/index.htm
The Tapptoons Linetester enables animators to use a scanner or video camera (with compatible capture card) to input animation images into a standard PC and edit their work, adding soundtrack and color if they wish and to output the result as a Windows AVI. Can be used for puppet animation as well as drawn animation.

eDrawings : http://www.edrawingsviewer.com/
eDrawings is a freeware utility which will give the user the power to view, create and share 3D models and 2D drawings. eDrawings offers unique capabilities like point-and-click animations that make it easy for anyone with a PC to interpret and understand 2D and 3D design data.

Is there any way to get rid of shadows on a printed page?

open source 3d scanner image

Lois V

I am scanning and copying pages that have 3D embellishments on them and I keep getting a shadow on the copy. I have tried holding the top of the scanner down to minimize it, and I've tried editing with the eraser, but there has to be an easier way.

Answer
Shadows are created from a light source.

So here is one guess as to why there are shadows. When you scan, there is a light that scans the item. So either you can, keep the lid all the way open. Or keep the lid open and put a cloth/sheet over the item, make sure you have this cloth tight around the whole item, inside any cracks etc..

To help not see the shadow at all, use a dark color (black) sheet.

What kind of computer does a graphic designer need?

3d scanner epson image

Valencia

im not trying to get into the whole mac vs pc debate BUT... i wanna know wat i need in order to get the job done and get it done right!! lol..... shud i save up the money for a mac ( though i do know that the mac book pro is cheaper now) but i could get a better pc for that price when it comes to memory and speed .... how much will i cost to get a PC and beef it up with graphic card and memory? or is it better just to settle for a mac?
- plus im gonna end up getting all those programs and a drawing pad so how much am i looking at?!
i just wanna know what i need for graphic design and how to get it
thanks i appreciate the time ;)

Answer
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign are your core programs. I also bit the bullet and got Adobe Font Folio Adobe's entire font library. I cannot see going cheep with fonts. I use a PC at home and a PC at work. If money wasn't an issue I would choose Mac Hands down and definitely a Mac desktop over a laptop. You will need a computer with fast processors and fast ram and lots of it. Large hard drive allows you to work with bigger files with big scratch drive space for plenty of undos. You will also need a good monitor. Alot of the design programs have multiple tool tabs. It is nice to have a monitor that is big enough to display all of the tabs with out eating into your design area. A tablet isn't necessary.I rarely use mine. Also recommended getting a quality digital camera with a hot shoe adapter and filter capabilities. Stock photography has gotten better over the years but you can always tell when stock photography is used. A good scanner is always good. I would shy away from the absolute low end and pay a little extra to get a little bit better one. I have had good experience with Epson and hp scanners. I have fallen in love with my 27" Acer monitor. I often wonder how I designed on a smaller monitor. The 19" monitor at work works ok too. It is good to have a video card with DVI to support the larger LCD monitors. Though I don't think you need to go broke getting a fancy gaming video card unless you plan on working with video or 3d. If you plan on doing web design I believe a PC works best.
