I would do it in this way: scale the image to the icon sized bitmap compare pixel by pixel using the RGB distance When the average distance is above a threshold then the image might match. This wont work exactly as you suggest, because of the details of what I am trying to do, but I will adapt some...

Hi,

Is there an efficient way to search a photograph bitmap image for closest match to an icon sized second bitmap? My test code using graphics GET takes 3 minutes per image, or about 30 hours for all images in a short video.

Thanks,

Garvan

Thanks to both badidea and grindstone for your help. I will study the examples you shared.

Hi, Is there a convenient library to access individual samples from a sound file? Between WAV and MP3 there are so many sound formats it is discouraging to do from scratch. I had working code years ago, based on code by D.J. Peters, but I have lost it now. In Python, this is what I want to do, but I...

Good news:

on fbc:master :: race6e24 / (readme.txt src/gfxlib2/license.txt): (link)
(counting_pine) Change gfxlib2 license to LGPL with special exception, same as rtlib license

Has this been mentioned elsewhere? I cant find it in searching.

On a new computer with Win7 I use the Microsoft Security Essentials. It provides virus , spyware and unwanted software protection. It gets updated with system updates, it's free, reliable, has a good reputation and stays out of the way. I have used the free version of AVG for years on an older compu...

I thought it would be useful to have a function to do this for one of my programs, so I just made one now. It is only tested on a single example, so it may still have problems. Garvan #include "vbcompat.bi" const FALSE = 0 const TRUE = NOT FALSE '' '' File not found return -1 '' Section no...

@Roland, I don't read German, so it is difficult for me to find your program. Could you please give a direct link for those of us who are interested but can't follow this menu..

In my sudoku solver I take a completed puzzle and remove random numbers one by one to see if it is solvable, and grade the results by degree of difficulty in solving. All valid puzzles are solvable quickly easily by brute force, so you need to program human methods to grade a puzzle. This is the sam...

I would wait 24 hours or so to see if anybody figures out what is going wrong. Then there might be a better bug report.

I quickly tested your code by putting it in a small code block, and it gave buggy results, just like you explained. I need to look at this again to see if I am missing something stupid. Garvan test code: dim as integer gStats_turns, SC_S const DEBUG_EVO_SIM=0 gStats_turns = 1 SC_S = 0 ' version 1 if...

A few days ago I noticed I was signed up to about ten Yahoo groups with random names sending out spam. My spam filter killed nearly all the messages, so I don't know how long this has being happening. When I started to get suspicious, checked my account and found my settings allowed group moderators...
