Automatical cut pictures

[Kwai chang caine]

Hello,

I want sale little objects like pin's, key ring, etc...

But when i have numerous objects, it's too long to catch one photo by object

So i have thinking, to catch one photo of several objects, and find a software or a PB code for cut each object in a little image.
Like the foreground is for example blanc, it's perhaps easy to detect it and cut around each object and put the cutting in an image ???

Somebody know a freeware or a begin of PB code for do this style of job ?

Thanks and good day

Thanks BorisTheOld to your answer

I have search with GIMP v2.6.11 and that's true there are an option to automatic cute a picture.
I have try several things but not found how create one picture by object, are you sure GIMP can do that ????

Original picture :

Pin's.jpg



to that :

Pin's 1.jpg

Pin's 2.jpg


Pin's 3.jpg

Hi KCC

Have you tried FastStone Capture.

It is a utility which does not need installing.

It has a nice free-hand tool for clipping the 'cuties'

Try it. http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm

Thanks DAVIDO

I try it now and see, if i can create automaticaly, all the pictures of the objects in one click

For manually extracting parts of a big image, I can also recommend Faststone Capture. I've bought the program myself, and did never regret it. However, for this job the freeware version should be sufficient. The last freeware version was FastStone Capture 5.3.

For doing this task (semi-)automatically, I think an image analysis software such as Pixcavator is needed, see e.g. here or here.

Yes!

1) Tools > use an appropriate selection tool to select the part of the image that you need

2) Edit > Cut

3) Edit > Paste As > New Image

You can then use various tools to manipulate the image, change the background colour, etc, etc. It's really easy.

Thanks Little john.
I have try also your link PIXCAVATOR.
At the beginning I thought this software can easily cut my pin's.
But in fact no, there are too much color in my pin's
It's a pity, the software not give the choice of the color of background
So even after several try, the result is not really perfect

So again thanks to your link, I did not know this style of soft exist

In fact, this morning i not thought it's so difficult for a software to detect several object in the same foreground....
Apparently it's much more difficult i think

Finally, i believe the best method is to put the object on a grid, for example a little bit like this

[IdeasVacuum]

Hi KCC, If you arrange the image in a grid, then the X/Y positions for each square are known and you can use the PB GrabImage() function to extract to individual images automatically.

[Kwai chang caine]

Yes you have right, finally it's surelly the best and simple method....

I have thinking also, but i don't know anything to graphical programming

Believe you, it's possible to draw two invisibles lines, one horizontal, the other vertical, that i move left to right and another up to down, a little bit like the scanner
I put the color of the pixels under the two lines in an array
When the color of all the pixel under the two lines is like the foreground, it's the end of the object
So at this moment i create a new image and put the color of the array to her

After i begin at the actual position of the two lines for find the second object, etc ....
Obviously, this method only works if the object is in a perfect square, and not mixing like the image above, even if the square is not tracing like this :



I have also another idea, perhaps it's possible to draw a grid under the image, but a grid with possibility to move all the lines ???
I can move manually all this vertical and horizontal lines, like that, if the lines is all at the right place....push a button and PB can cut all the pictures, because he know the X and Y positions of all the squares of the grid.. and name it "Image1.jpg", "Image2.jpg", "Image3.jpg"

Waoooouuuhh !!!! Thanks a lot deer Einander !!!

All this works only for the little KCC, one thousand of thanks
It's really a good begining .....thanks to you, i have the manual cute
In fact, your begining is already better that when i have coding in all a month and produce my final version

Here is something fast an dirty

My dream....can coding dirty like you a day

Have a very good day, mister MAGIC

[einander]

KCC: You are welcome!
I said fast and dirty because this code was not made from scratch, but is a revamp of a 7 years old useless code: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 5&p=151389

I discovered a hidden utility thanks to your talent for the Coding Questions

Like El_Choni, i'm always impressive when i see all your code in all different ways (Audio, Picture, ....)

thanks to your talent for the Coding Questions

Yes you have right

In this forum, i'm the champion of stranges questions
In fact, i have create a dream team with all the very good programmer and friends of this splendid forum and also french forum.....
I have the questions and the problems ....and all of you, have the solutions

Again thanks for your precious sharing and also thanks for all the other members who try to help me
