Analyzing a File

In this sample, we:

create a MediaObject to contain the image

add the image to the MediaObject

analyze the image

save the MediaObject to a file

Note: Image files must be in one of the following formats before you run them through analysis: JPEG, GIF, or PNG. For information about how to prepare images for analysis, see the Additional Configuration section.

try

{

// create a MediaObject and load the image

MediaObject mo = (MediaObject) Eve.newMediaObject();

mo.loadImage(path);

// keep track of where the image came from

mo.setProperty("originalPath",path);

// create an instance of the Analyze class to perform the analysis

Analyze analyze = (Analyze) Eve.newAnalyze();

try

{

// do the analysis

analyze.analyze(mo,Eve.maxRegions,Eve.maxIterations);

}

catch (Exception e)

{

System.out.println("Error During Analyze: " + e);

System.exit(0);

}

// add some dummy metadata

mo.addMetadata("testMetadata","testMetadata");

// take out everything we can't serialize

mo.purge();

// serialize the MediaObject and send it out to disk

mo.saveTo(path + ".edf");

}

catch (Exception e)

{

// handle the exception here

}
