On the tensorflow lite example object detection, the camera don't take all the screen but just a part.
I tried to find some constant in CameraActivity, CameraConnectionFragment and Size classes but no results.
So I just want a way to put the camera in all the screen or just an explanation.
Thanks you.
I just find the solution, it's in the CameraConnectionFragment class :
protected static Size chooseOptimalSize(final Size[] choices, final int width, final int height) {
final int minSize = Math.max(Math.min(width, height), MINIMUM_PREVIEW_SIZE);
final Size desiredSize = new Size(1280, 720);
protected static Size chooseOptimalSize(final Size[] choices, final int width, final int height) {
final int minSize = Math.max(Math.min(width, height), MINIMUM_PREVIEW_SIZE);
final Size desiredSize = new Size(1280, 720);
// Collect the supported resolutions that are at least as big as the preview Surface
boolean exactSizeFound = false;
final List<Size> bigEnough = new ArrayList<Size>();
final List<Size> tooSmall = new ArrayList<Size>();
for (final Size option : choices) {
if (option.equals(desiredSize)) {
// Set the size but don't return yet so that remaining sizes will still be logged.
exactSizeFound = true;
}
if (option.getHeight() >= minSize && option.getWidth() >= minSize) {
bigEnough.add(option);
} else {
tooSmall.add(option);
}
}
just replace 1280, 720 by what we want.

});
The same result as the attached file is coming out by entering the code as it is now. The problem is that the image that does not reach the specified size is not being exposed, but the view exists.
How do I prevent images smaller than 720x1280 from being displayed?
If you know the answer please give me a hint.How do I prevent images smaller than 720x1280 from being displayed?

I'm trying to edit the Third Person Controller script that's found in the 'Starter Assets' pack created by Unity (https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/starter-assets-third-person-character-controller-196526)
Note: Just a heads up that I am extremely new to coding, so please be as detailed with your answer as possible. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it.
Current Situation (note: I'm building for mobile) -
My character moves forwards, diagonally forwards (top left, top right), and both left/right correctly and rotates to face that direction. The follow camera stays behind the character and rotates when the character does. This is all great.
The Problem - When my character moves backwards (pressing 'S' on the keyboard or 'Down on the Joystick' (mobile)) the character rotates causing the camera and character to rotate continuously on the spot. This is also the case when moving diagonally backwards (bottom left, bottom right).
What I Want To Achieve - I want it so that when backward input is detected, but only backwards, the character moves backward with no rotation to either the player or camera. Moving diagonally backwards however I would still like the rotation for the camera (not the player) but in the opposite direction.
Here is the part of the script that I believe controls this. If you could please assist me on how to edit, what to add/remove, that would be amazing.
// normalise input direction
Vector3 inputDirection = new Vector3(_input.move.x, 0.0f, _input.move.y).normalized;
// note: Vector2's != operator uses approximation so is not floating point error prone, and is cheaper than magnitude
// if there is a move input rotate player when the player is moving
if (_input.move != Vector2.zero)
{
_targetRotation = Mathf.Atan2(inputDirection.x, inputDirection.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg +
_mainCamera.transform.eulerAngles.y;
float rotation = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y, _targetRotation, ref _rotationVelocity,
RotationSmoothTime);
// rotate to face input direction relative to camera position
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0.0f, rotation, 0.0f);
}
Vector3 targetDirection = Quaternion.Euler(0.0f, _targetRotation, 0.0f) * Vector3.forward;
// move the player
_controller.Move(targetDirection.normalized * (_speed * Time.deltaTime) +
new Vector3(0.0f, _verticalVelocity, 0.0f) * Time.deltaTime);
Just in case the full script is required to assist me, please see it below;

For developing a side-scrolling platform 2D game I want to implement a moving camera class, the reason of using the class instead of moving the whole map is that I'll have to use too many objects at once witch will cause a lag. I cannot let that happen.
There's a nice algorithm for handling the camera, when player is moving further than the width of the screen then camera moves on players direction until he is once again in the middle of the screen, I've been working several days for making this algorithm work however there's been no success.
// Main
public class Camera
{
protected float _zoom;
protected Matrix _transform;
protected Matrix _inverseTransform;
//The zoom scalar (1.0f = 100% zoom level)
public float Zoom
{
get { return _zoom; }
set { _zoom = value; }
}
// Camera View Matrix Property
public Matrix Transform
{
get { return _transform; }
set { _transform = value; }
}
// Inverse of the view matrix,
// can be used to get
// objects screen coordinates
// from its object coordinates
public Matrix InverseTransform
{
get { return _inverseTransform; }
}
public Vector2 Pos;
// Constructor
public Camera()
{
_zoom = 2.4f;
Pos = new Vector2(0, 0);
}
// Update
public void Update(GameTime gameTime)
{
//Clamp zoom value
_zoom = MathHelper.Clamp(_zoom, 0.0f, 10.0f);
//Create view matrix
_transform = Matrix.CreateScale(new Vector3(_zoom, _zoom, 1)) *
Matrix.CreateTranslation(Pos.X, Pos.Y, 0);
//Update inverse matrix
_inverseTransform = Matrix.Invert(_transform);
}
}
This is the camera class I made for handling the screen, it's main purpose is to resize the screen, more precisely to zoom in and out whenever I want to change my screen, (Title screen, Playing screen, Game over, and like that.)
Moving the camera is quite simple with keys, like this.
if (keyState.IsKeyDown(Keys.D))
Cam.Pos.X -= 20;
if (keyState.IsKeyDown(Keys.A))
Cam.Pos.X += 20;
if (keyState.IsKeyDown(Keys.S))
Cam.Pos.Y -= 20;
if (keyState.IsKeyDown(Keys.W))
Cam.Pos.Y += 20;
And ofc. the drawing method witch apply the camera.
spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteSortMode.Texture, BlendState.AlphaBlend, null, null, null, null, Cam.Transform);
Here comes the part when I stop, so what I want to do is make something like 2 2D rooms. By Room I mean the place where I usually place objects. like this "Vector2(74, 63)" So I want to create a place where I could draw items that would stick to the screen and wouldn't move, and make the screen bounds that would make my algorithm to work, witch will be always on screen and as an addition it will check if one of the borders of the screen "room" reaches the certain coordinates of the map "room".
I think that the reason for that would be obvious because I don't want player to move camera outside the map when he reaches the wall, otherwise the player would already see a part of the next map where he will be transformed.
The reason of drawing both maps next to each other is again to reduce the loading time so player wouldn't have to wait for playing the next map.
Alright, so I've run into more troubles than I expected so I'll add extra information and will start with the player class:
// Main
public class Player
{
public Texture2D AureliusTexture;
public Vector2 position;
public Vector2 velocity;
public Vector2 PosForTheCam; // Variable that holds value for moving the camera
protected Vector2 dimensions;
protected CollisionPath attachedPath;
const float GRAVITY = 18.0f;
const float WALK_VELOCITY = 120f;
const float JUMP_VELOCITY = -425.0f;
// Constructor
public Player()
{
dimensions = new Vector2(23, 46);
position = new Vector2(50, 770);
}
public void Update(float deltaSeconds, List<CollisionPath> collisionPaths)
{
#region Input handling
KeyboardState keyState = Keyboard.GetState();
if (keyState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Left))
{
velocity.X = -WALK_VELOCITY;
}
else if (keyState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Right))
{
velocity.X = WALK_VELOCITY;
}
else
{
velocity.X = 0;
}
if (attachedPath != null && keyState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Space))
{
velocity.Y = JUMP_VELOCITY;
attachedPath = null;
}
velocity.Y += GRAVITY;
#endregion
#region Region of handling the camera based on Player
PosForTheCam.X = velocity.X;
#endregion
#region Collision checking
if (velocity.Y >= 0)
{
if (attachedPath != null)
{
position.X += velocity.X * deltaSeconds;
position.Y = attachedPath.InterpolateY(position.X) - dimensions.Y / 2;
velocity.Y = 0;
if (position.X < attachedPath.MinimumX || position.X > attachedPath.MaximumX)
{
attachedPath = null;
}
}
else
{
Vector2 footPosition = position + new Vector2(0, dimensions.Y / 2);
Vector2 expectedFootPosition = footPosition + velocity * deltaSeconds;
CollisionPath landablePath = null;
float landablePosition = float.MaxValue;
foreach (CollisionPath path in collisionPaths)
{
if (expectedFootPosition.X >= path.MinimumX && expectedFootPosition.X <= path.MaximumX)
{
float pathOldY = path.InterpolateY(footPosition.X);
float pathNewY = path.InterpolateY(expectedFootPosition.X);
if (footPosition.Y <= pathOldY && expectedFootPosition.Y >= pathNewY && pathNewY < landablePosition)
{
landablePath = path;
landablePosition = pathNewY;
}
}
}
if (landablePath != null)
{
velocity.Y = 0;
footPosition.Y = landablePosition;
attachedPath = landablePath;
position.X += velocity.X * deltaSeconds;
position.Y = footPosition.Y - dimensions.Y / 2;
}
else
{
position = position + velocity * deltaSeconds;
}
}
}
else
{
position += velocity * deltaSeconds;
attachedPath = null;
}
#endregion
}
}
So I state it clear that I asked my friend to do most of it because I wanted to handle the gravity and the slopes so we made it work similar like in Unity. And he happened to know how to do that.
And so I'll add the Update method that handles the camera from the Main Class.
MM.Update(gameTime); // Map Managher update function for map handling
Cam.Update(gameTime); // Camera update
Cam.Zoom = 2.4f; // Sets the zoom level for the title screen
// Takes the start position for camera in map and then turns off the update
// so the camera position can be changed. Else it would just keep an infinite
// loop and we couldn't change the camera.
if (StartInNewRoom)
{
Cam.Pos = MM.CameraPosition; // Applys the camera position value from the map manager class
StartInNewRoom = false;
}
I am unsure how to handle the camera, like I used your method and the result often ended up that camera moves by itself or it doesn't move at all.
If you don't want objects to move with the camera like a HUD you need a second spriteBatch.Begin() without your camera matrix which you draw after your actual scene.
To make the camera not move out of the map you could use some kind of collision detection. Just calculate the right border of your camera. It depends where the origin of your camera is.
Is your camera matrix working like this? Because the position should be negative or it will move in the wrong direction.
This is how mine looks like.
return Matrix.CreateTranslation(new Vector3(-camera.position.X, -camera.position.Y, 0)) *
Matrix.CreateRotationZ(Rotation) * Matrix.CreateScale(Zoom) *
Matrix.CreateTranslation(new Vector3(Viewport.Width * 0.5f, Viewport.Height * 0.5f, 0));
Viewport.Width/Height * 0.5 centers you camera.
You can also apply this behind your Pos.X/Y
To Camera follows player
public void Update(Player player)
{
//Clamp zoom value
_zoom = MathHelper.Clamp(_zoom, 0.0f, 10.0f);
//Create view matrix
_transform = Matrix.CreateScale(new Vector3(_zoom, _zoom, 1)) *
Matrix.CreateTranslation(player.Pos.X, player.Pos.Y, 0);
//Update inverse matrix
_inverseTransform = Matrix.Invert(_transform);
}
I have recently started up a 3d first person shooter game in Monogame and I am having some issues with the camera controls, I am unable to figure out how I make the camera slowly turn on it's X axis when I hold down the left/right arrow keys.
At the minute, the code I have is as follows:
Matrix view = Matrix.CreateLookAt(new Vector3(60, 20, 10), new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Vector3.UnitZ);
Matrix projection = Matrix.CreatePerspectiveFieldOfView(MathHelper.ToRadians(45), 800f / 600f, 0.1f, 100f);
And then down in the update section I have this:
if (kb.IsKeyDown(Keys.Left))
{
view = Matrix.CreateLookAt(new Vector3(60, 20, 10), new Vector3(-2, -2, -2), Vector3.UnitZ);
}
The issue is at the minute this code simply moves the camera to the side a little then stops. I am unsure on how to keep having it move until I let go of the key?
The entire of my code will be shown below incase I forgot something (the floor verts currently don't work and the names related to a ship is due to me working from a tutorial):

Since the camera's position and the point it is looking at are necessary parameters to create a view matrix, you can simply rotate (think orbit) the LookAt camLookAt around the camPosition like this:
//declare class scope variables
Vector3 camPosition = new Vector3(60, 20, 10);//your starting camera position
Vector3 camLookAt = Vector3.Zero;//your starting camera focus point (look at)
Vector2 camUp = Vector3.Up;
float camYawRate = 0.004f;//set to taste
//in the Update method
float elapsed = gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds;
//later in the method...
if (kb.IsKeyDown(Keys.Left))
{
camLookAt = Vector3.Transform(camLookAt - camPosition,Matrix.CreateRotationY(-camYawRate * elapsedTime)) + camPosition;);//remove the - sign from camYawRate to rotate to the right (or vice versa)
view = Matrix.CreateLookAt(camPosition, camLookAt, camUp);
}
And that's it, give it a shot. Add another similar block to rotate to the right.
I have this little animation here that animates in a repeated seamless pattern.
I have text, colored white, in the middle of the canvas that the looped shapes pass over. What I am trying to work out is when the white bars pass over the text it turns black. So as half the white bar goes over the T of "Text", half the T would be black and the half not covered would be still white on a diagonal.
Would this be done with splitting up the letters? By doing masking, or using vector images?
Here is a graphic example of what I'm trying to achieve.

I worked out a solution using two generated images. The first one imgText contains only text (white) in front of black background. The second one imgMaskfunctions as mask and therefore contains the screen line pattern. It's fine to generate the first (text image) only once within the setup() part; because your type doesn't change/move or transform. The mask image has to be updated every frame if you want to achieve the effect of "scanning" lines. This happens every draw() loop through the shift of the offset parameter.
The rest is pretty basic; clear the background every frame and draw the inverted version of imgText before you display the actual masked image.
PImage imgText;
PImage imgMask;
PFont font;
int barHeight = 20;
float offset = 0;
float offsetTick = 0.3;
void setup () {
size (320, 240);
noStroke ();
smooth ();
font = createFont ("Helvetica-Bold.vlw", 18);
// Create new image containing only
// the white text infront of an empty
// black sketch background
background (0);
fill (255);
textFont (font);
textAlign (CENTER);
text ("Text goes here", width/2, height/2);
imgText = createImage (width, height, ARGB);
copySketchIntoImage (imgText);
// Create empty mask image
imgMask = createImage (width, height, ARGB);
}
void draw () {
// Move the scan lines further down
// by increasing offset
offset += offsetTick;
if (offset > barHeight * 2) {
offset = 0;
}
// Update the text mask image
updateMask (offset);
imgText.mask (imgMask);
// Draw the inverted background+text
background (255);
fill (0);
text ("Text goes here", width/2, height/2);
// Display the masked version of the
// text image above the inverted background
image (imgText, 0, 0);
}
void updateMask (float theOffset) {
background (0);
fill (255);
for (float i=theOffset - barHeight; i < height; i += barHeight * 2) {
rect (0, i, width, barHeight);
}
copySketchIntoImage (imgMask);
}
// Method to copy all sketch pixels
// into an existing PImage.
void copySketchIntoImage (PImage theDestImage) {
loadPixels ();
theDestImage.loadPixels ();
for (int i=0; i < pixels.length; i++) {
theDestImage.pixels[i] = pixels[i];
}
theDestImage.updatePixels ();
}
