Hi all...
I am doing a screen scraping application of another application.
I am basically writing a poker coach for the various online poker sites
I am reading the cards by grabbing portions of the screen and comparing them to the images of the cards.
All that is fine and good. (except I wonder if there is a better OCR type of approach if anyone knows about one)
but the problem I have is that the bitmap that gets created from the screen scrape are different depending on the users display settings. (the pixel format and vert & horz resolution change)
This makes it difficult to compare them to the bitmaps of the known cards to see if they match.
I was thinking of converting each bitmap to the giff format and then comparing those, or converting both to a common pixel format.
the problem is that I cant seem to find an easy way to do it without saving the files (which is absolutely impracticle since this happens 50 times a second or so)
Can anyone either show a way to convert two images to a common format so I can compare them, or figure out a way to compare different formats.
Or sugest different ways to solve this issue??
Thanx guys
