Find BMP in another BMP (imagesearch)

[tobius]

Hi,
thanks for sharing the script.
Unfortunately i can not get it running.

I would like to find a bmp within another bmp with minimal length of code, can anybody please help me?
I played around with the code on page 1 and would like to post my attempts but i am honestly not sure which attempts made sense anyway. I tried to
to comment/uncomment but i guess, this was related to other scope (with catching active windows, where i gotsome error with regions).

Can anyboday please help me, how to find bmp in bmp?
I know, in the following code there are a lot of things missing, but i am already lost to know, which parts are relevant or not, sorry for that

Local $Find_this_image = @ScriptDir & '\folder_symbol.bmp'
Local $within_this_image = @ScriptDir & '\desktop.bmp'

Local $aResult = findBMP($within_this_image, $Find_this_image, $c24RGBPartialMatch)
_ArrayDisplay($aResult)

Many thanks for help and understanding

"Unfortunately I cannot get it running" is very vague, is it compiling without errors?

1. run the first example and post the output/results

2. experiment with your examples, it seems you want to find something on the desktop

3. post your bmp files

The way you save bmp files to disk can already make a huge difference in finding. The slightest mismatch on a pixel will give no result.

Describe what your expectations are and make sure you look in FAQ for other solutions

Thanks for your feedback and effort.
I am doing it now by opening / displaying the picture and using imagesearch as there i also have shade tolerance.

I was search for ages for something like this. Though I implemented it in Powershell .Net. I was having trouble with small images. Until I went through and checked the formula for find the x and y coordinates.

$foundAtTop = int($iPos / $BMP1lineWidth) -$i

$foundAtLeft =  int(mod($iPos,$bmp1linewidth) / $imgBytes)

 

If you rewrite it like this:

Quote

$foundAtLeft =  int(mod($iPos,$bmp1linewidth) / $imgBytes)

$foundAtTop = int(($iPos - ($foundAtLeft * $imgBytes)) / $bmp1linewidth)

You will get the exact coordinates, without any rounding issues.
