You might love your matlab layout configuration and may want to keep and use it along with you.

Here is the location of the layout file,

Windows:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2009a

Mac:
/Users/username/.matlab/R2009a/

Instead of using a complicated Sendmessge between processes, there is another convenient way to communicate between processes. Pipe!

There is a good tutorial and implementation demo with C#. link

I just used the server client in my program. But for the client, I used a simple C++ implementation.

HANDLE h=NULL;
void send_message(char *msg)
{
	if (!h)
		{
			h=CreateFile(L"\\\\.\\pipe\\MyNamedPip",
			      GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
                  0,
                  NULL,
                  OPEN_EXISTING,
                  FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED,
				  NULL);
		}

	DWORD BytesWritten;
	WriteFile(h,msg,strlen(msg),&BytesWritten,NULL);
	FlushFileBuffers(h);
}

上了贼船, 只能当贼.
Following the weird syntax of VC++.net, here is how to declare an array of a dotnet object references.

static array<System::Threading::Mutex^>^ trackers_mut = gcnew array<System::Threading::Mutex^>(10);

or

array <String^>^ filenames={"aa", "bb"};

有点抓狂. 但的确是这么写的. C及其衍生物总是那么变化无穷.

In Old times, I still remember how cool it is to add a media player in my Delphi Form. Now I need to do the same to VC++.net, so I searched and got these links. Although they are not VC++.net solution, they still help a lot.

With some codec (here), this way can enable your application play video of most popular formats. So give up the other version of using Direct X to play only AVI format video in dotnet application.

Here are the links (still updating)

It has been quite a while since last time I post a howto of configuring OpenCV in Visual Studio. The post got a lot of attention and comments. As the the configuring has become simpler, the post becomes a bit bulky and out-of-date. So right now I am considering to rewrite the howto with a much simpler version.

C:\Program Files\OpenCV\cv\include
C:\Program Files\OpenCV\otherlibs\highgui
C:\Program Files\OpenCV\cxcore\include
C:\Program Files\OpenCV\otherlibs\cvcam\include

C:\Program Files\OpenCV\lib

cv.lib highgui.lib cvaux.lib cxcore.lib

Tested on OpenCV 1.0 with Visual Studio 2008

Continuous updating…
Current testing version: OpenCV 1.0 (I do not recommend the latest 1.1pre1. I got strange error using it in VC.net). VC++.net 2008.

贴点sample上来, 便于日后参考.
用这个package可以产生把algorithm的caption放在最上面, 并且排版会漂亮一点.

\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usepackage[ruled]{algorithm2e}

下面是一段sample code, 需要的时候自己根据需要改成自己要的.

\begin{algorithm}[H]
\KwIn{Photo} \KwOut{Detected Person $p$} \SetLine { Detect all
upper bodies\; Detect all faces \;} \ForEach{upper body detected
$u$}{ Find the largest faces $f$ which has at least $50\%$ overlap
with $u$\;
\If {such $f$ exists}
{
Construct $p$ from $f$ and $u$: \\
\{   \\   The upper part of the detect result $p$ is set to $f$\;
The lower part of $p$ is set to the lower part of $u$ right below $f$\;
\} \\
Put $p$ into the result list\;
}
}
\caption{Human subject detection (combining upper body
detection and face detection)} \label{alg:detect}
\end{algorithm}

Thank ajay for help

此版本的matlab会直接在application目录下装一个app文件,相比原来的安装更符合mac os的设计.
整个安装过程非常简便和快速, 甚至比windows版的还快.
但激活matlab可能有个问题, 会发现activate matlab这个app会crash.
原因是这个激活的app是32bit的,但java默认按照64bit来跑.
解决方法是, 在打开/Applications/Utilities/Java/Java Preferences, 修改默认的java程序运行环境为32bit,等激活后,再改回64bit.

此外, 之前看到了一个matlab加速的方法,是
自己加一个java.opts文件，放在/$Matlab$/bin/maci/目录下，
文件内容是
-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true
让matlab的java程序默认使用tiger的Quartz来render 界面.

但在r2009a里,这个文件自己就在那儿了, 不用自己添加了. matlab界面的速度也非常理想了.
