Using Android phone as wireless viewfinder for my Canon DSLR?












3















I am thinking about buying a 1300D and taking some photos with it.



I am thinking of climbing to the Mount Sipylus and taking photos of myself just like the expedition photos of history (which always fascinated me during my childhood) instead of taking a selfie.

But the problem is I don't know how I will look when I take photos of myself! Will I fit to the frame or will it fit to the grid points?



So I want use the wifi function of the 1300D and get myself to the spot with my phone, giving me live feed of what the camera sees at my hand, and take a photo of myself.



Can my Android phone do that?



I saw some accessories that let you to plug your phone to the USB port, but that's not exactly what I want, although it's better than nothing...

    I am not familiar with what's available from Canon, but I know that there's an app from Fujifilm that allows you to do this.

Your camera is supported by Canon Camera Connect (available for Android on the PlayStore), that can make your phone act as a remote Liveview monitor (among plenty of other things). CCC is free, so you can easily test that it fulfills your needs.



Remember to bring spare batteries (for the camera, and perhaps for the phone), because this kind of use, especially in very cold environments, tends to drain batteries rather quickly.

            How to label and detect the document text images

            Image
            1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

            Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet.
