Recognizing image within image in C#
I'd like to find an image (needle) within an image (haystack).
To keep things simple I take two screenshots of my desktop. One full size (haystack) and a tiny one (needle). I then loop through the haystack image and try to find the needle…

LockBits appears to be too slow for my needs - alternatives?
I'm working on 10 megapixel images taken by a video camera.
The aim is to register in a matrix (a two-dimensional array) the grayscale values for each pixel.
I first used GetPixel but it took 25 seconds to do it. Now I use Lockbits but it sill takes…

Why do my images seem to be in the format of Bgra instead of Argb?
So, I am very confused over a quick test that I just ran. I am doing some image processing in C#. Get/SetPixel() have proven to be too slow, so I am using LockBits to get at the raw data.
However, I seem to have hit a situation which I can't…

Does Bitmap.LockBits "pin" a bitmap into memory?
I'm using locked bitmaps a lot recently, and I keep getting "attempted to access invalid memory" errors. This is mostly because the bitmap has been moved in memory. Some people using GCHandle.Alloc() to allocate memory in the CLR and pin it. Does…

Is it safe (pun intended) to copy bitmap regions using lockbits this way?
I think I've found a MUCH faster way to copy bitmaps in c#. (If it's valid, I'm sure I wasn't the first but I haven't seen it anywhere yet.)
The simplest way I can think to ask this is to assert what I based my idea on and if no one shoots holes in…

Why is the random pixel color not so random in my C# application?
I set up a code to randomly cover a bitmap 2 different colors, 7 out of 10 times the color would be blue, and 3 out of 10 times, the color would be green. However, when it's done it looks very un-random, like it decided to put 7 blue pixels a few…

How do I permanently lock specific data pages in a MIFARE Ultralight C tag?
I have successfully written some data on data pages 30 to 38.
After that I want to lock those pages in order to prevent further writing. The write lock should be permanent, so even if someone knows the authentication key, they should not be able to…

Faster Image Processing than Lock Bits
I've been working on an edge detection program in C#, and to make it run faster, I recently made it use lock bits. However, lockBits is still not as fast as I would like it to run. Although the problem could be my general algorithm, I'm also…

Bitmap LockBits on Android?
My program on Android uses an algorithm that uses a lot of setPixel and getPixel, therefore, it's very slow. On .NET, I can use LockBits to make it faster. Is there LockBits or similar on Java or Android?
EDIT: After some searches, I found…
