HTML page, multiple refreshing "draw on canvas" from IPcamera snapshots - javascript

i'm setting up my home web page where i want to have live feed from my 7 cameras. For 6 of them i must use a refreshing jpeg, since all i can get is a snapshot of the current view or an rtsp feed. For the last one i use an iframe since i can get a constant refreshing web page.
So, this is the script that i use to refresh the snapshot
<script>
var imageObj = new Image();
imageObj.onload = function() {
drawOnCanvas();
setTimeout(timedRefresh, 100);
}
// set src AFTER assigning load
imageObj.src = "http://192.168.2.136/snap.jpeg?" + Math.random();
function timedRefresh() {
imageObj.src = "http://192.168.2.136/snap.jpeg?" + Math.random();
//drawOnCanvas(); //flicker remover
}
function drawOnCanvas() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas1");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
ctx.drawImage(imageObj, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
}
</script>
It works smoothly but when i add a second canvas, creating a new script afther the previous where i change the id to "canvasX" and the target IP to another camera
<script>
var imageObj = new Image();
imageObj.onload = function() {
drawOnCanvas();
setTimeout(timedRefresh, 100);
}
// set src AFTER assigning load
imageObj.src = "http://192.168.2.122/snap.jpeg?" + Math.random();
function timedRefresh() {
imageObj.src = "http://192.168.2.122/snap.jpeg?" + Math.random();
//drawOnCanvas(); //flicker remover
}
function drawOnCanvas() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas2");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
ctx.drawImage(imageObj, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
}
</script>
and i try to render both canvas using this code in the body section
<canvas id="canvas1" width="1080" height="608"> </canvas>
<canvas id="canvas2" width="1080" height="608"> </canvas>
<canvas id="canvas3... etc
only the last canvas is rendered and all the others are simply not rendered.
All the feeds should be one on top of the other, so when i scroll (this is smartphone focused) i can see all the streams; this is why there is no spacing or else, due to the 1080x1920 of most of the home devices. I'm hosting on an apache server on a RaspberryPi 3.

I kinda solved it. I created 6 diffrent html pages with only the canvas script in it, then i added 6 iframe pointing to each html page. Maybe it's not clean but it works. This way i need 5MB/second, it only works on LAN.

Drawing on a canvas element dynamically

I am trying to learn some new things and thought I experiment with canvas a bit.
I got a canvas element that loads an image that i want to draw over once i click an anchor.
HTML
Click Me
<canvas id="test" width=400 height=400></canvas>
Javascript
var c = document.getElementById("test");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var img = new Image();
img.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
};
img.src = 'http://lorempixel.com/400/400/abstract';
$("#test").on('click', function() {
var c2 = document.getElementById('test').getContext('2d');
c2.fillStyle = '#76ff03';
c2.beginPath();
c2.lineTo(100, 50);
c2.lineTo(50, 100);
c2.lineTo(0, 90);
c2.closePath();
c2.fill();
});
All its meant to do is draw a red triangle on top the image that is loaded previously by the canvas.
Unfortunately i don't get anywhere with this.
Any help will be appreciated.
Apparently you are using the "$" function, which you are probably expecting from JQuery, but you are not including the JQuery script on your file.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.0.min.js"></script>
Apart from that, your code seems to work properly.
By the way, the triangle you're drawing is actually green. If you want it to be red you could set
c2.fillStyle = '#ff0000';

Creating image from two other images using javascript [duplicate]

I am wondering if there is a way to combine multiple images into a single image using only JavaScript. Is this something that Canvas will be able to do. The effect can be done with positing, but can you combine them into a single image for download?
Update Oct 1, 2008:
Thanks for the advice, I was helping someone work on a js/css only site, with jQuery and they were looking to have some MacOS dock-like image effects with multiple images that overlay each other. The solution we came up with was just absolute positioning, and using the effect on a parent <div> relatively positioned. It would have been much easier to combine the images and create the effect on that single image.
It then got me thinking about online image editors like Picnik and wondering if there could be a browser based image editor with photoshop capabilities written only in javascript. I guess that is not a possibility, maybe in the future?
I know this is an old question and the OP found a workaround solution, but this will work if the images and canvas are already part of the HTML page.
<img id="img1" src="imgfile1.png">
<img id="img2" src="imgfile2.png">
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
<script type="text/javascript">
var img1 = document.getElementById('img1');
var img2 = document.getElementById('img2');
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
canvas.width = img1.width;
canvas.height = img1.height;
context.globalAlpha = 1.0;
context.drawImage(img1, 0, 0);
context.globalAlpha = 0.5; //Remove if pngs have alpha
context.drawImage(img2, 0, 0);
</script>
Or, if you want to load the images on the fly:
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
<script type="text/javascript">
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var img1 = new Image();
var img2 = new Image();
img1.onload = function() {
canvas.width = img1.width;
canvas.height = img1.height;
img2.src = 'imgfile2.png';
};
img2.onload = function() {
context.globalAlpha = 1.0;
context.drawImage(img1, 0, 0);
context.globalAlpha = 0.5; //Remove if pngs have alpha
context.drawImage(img2, 0, 0);
};
img1.src = 'imgfile1.png';
</script>
MarvinJ provides the method combineByAlpha() in which combines multiple images using its alpha channel. Therefore, you just need to have your images in a format that supports transparency, like PNG, and use that method, as follow:
Marvin.combineByAlpha(image, imageOver, imageOutput, x, y);
image1:
image2:
image3:
Result:
Runnable Example:
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
image1 = new MarvinImage();
image1.load("https://i.imgur.com/ChdMiH7.jpg", imageLoaded);
image2 = new MarvinImage();
image2.load("https://i.imgur.com/h3HBUBt.png", imageLoaded);
image3 = new MarvinImage();
image3.load("https://i.imgur.com/UoISVdT.png", imageLoaded);
var loaded=0;
function imageLoaded(){
if(++loaded == 3){
var image = new MarvinImage(image1.getWidth(), image1.getHeight());
Marvin.combineByAlpha(image1, image2, image, 0, 0);
Marvin.combineByAlpha(image, image3, image, 190, 120);
image.draw(canvas);
}
}
<script src="https://www.marvinj.org/releases/marvinj-0.8.js"></script>
<canvas id="canvas" width="450" height="297"></canvas>
I don't think you can or would want to do this with client side javascript ("combing them into a single image for download"), because it's running on the client: even if you could combine them into a single image file on the client, at that point you've already downloaded all of the individual images, so the merge is pointless.

canvas.toblob fails when a patterned fill is used

I've been trying to find a method to save the canvas to file. My image is too large to use dataToUrl, so I have been trying various toblob methods. It seems that when a patterned fill is used, toblob does not work. Would anyone be able to to me if it is possible for this to work or if there is another way to accomplish this? Thanks
jfiddle example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="300" height="150" style="border:1px solid #d3d3d3;">Your browser does not support the HTML5 canvas tag.</canvas>
<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="canvas-to-blob.js"/></script>
<script src="FileSaver.js-master\FileSaver.js"></script>
<script>
var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, c.width, c.height);
var img = new Image();
img.src = "http://www.w3schools.com/tags/img_lamp.jpg";
var pat = ctx.createPattern(img, "repeat");
ctx.rect(0, 0, 150, 100);
//Works with color, but not with pattern
ctx.fillStyle = pat;
//ctx.fillStyle = 'blue';
ctx.fill();
try {
var isFileSaverSupported = !! new Blob();
} catch (e) {
alert(e);
}
alert("toBlob");
c.toBlob(function (blob) {
alert("success");
saveAs(blob, "TruVue.png");
});
</script>
</html>
The reason is due to CORS, images from other domains are restricted - you can show them on the canvas but you cannot extract their bitmap.
As toBlob is a bitmap extracting method like toDataURL or getImageData you won't be able to use these images.
There are a couple of work-arounds:
Upload the image to your own server and load it from there (same domain as you use for the page).
Modify the other server to include Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers (in this case it will probably not be do-able).
Use your own server as an image proxy
BTW: You should also use the image's onload event to be sure the image gets proper loaded before using the image:
var img = new Image();
img.onload = drawFunction;
img.src = "http://www.w3schools.com/tags/img_lamp.jpg";
function drawFunction() {
/// draw here
}

Why doesn't image show on load, but shows on refresh?

I'm playing with the canvas element in HTML5 and I have noticed a peculiar behavior. On initial load, an image I'm displaying does not show. However, when I refresh the browser, it displays appropriately. I've used IE9 and Chrome. Both behave identically. The JavaScript code looks like this:
window.onload = load;
function load() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
context.fillRect(0, 0, 640, 400);
var image = new Image();
image.src = "Images/smiley.png";
context.drawImage(image, 50, 50);
}
The rectangle draws correctly both times, it's the smiley that only shows on a browser refresh.
I'm in the process of learning HTML5 and JavaScript. I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid, but I can't figure it out.
Images load asynchronously, so only after refresh it loads early enough because it's cached. Normally it isn't loaded yet at the time you call drawImage. Use onload:
var image = new Image();
image.src = "Images/smiley.png";
image.onload = function() {
context.drawImage(image, 50, 50);
};
This happened with me as well (only for IE9 for me) anyways, i found a simple solution.
Set the background of the canvas to the initial image you wish to display.
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
canvas.style.background="url('image.png')";
That should work!
Actually, even just using image.onload = function() {}, you can still run into problems. Do use this technique (that's not at all what I'm saying), but move it to the bottom of your page.
As an example, I have a social networking site that uses canvas to show the profile photo (URI stored to the DB), and print it to canvas, then overlay a logo.
<section id="content">
<article id="personalbox" >
<h2>Hi! My name is {profile_name}</h2>
<a id="friendbutton" href=""><img src="views/default/images/friend.png" width="12" height="12" /><span>Add {profile_name} as a friend?</span></a>
<video id="profilevideo" width="240" height="144">DEBUG: Video is not supported.</video>
<canvas id="profilecanvas" width="240" height="144" >DEBUG: Canvas is not supported.</canvas>
<a id="gallerytextlink" href="gallery.html" >Click to visit {profile_name} Gallery</a>
<table id="profileinfotable1">
...
</section>
<script type="text/javascript">
function init() {
var cvs = document.getElementById("profilecanvas");
var ctx = cvs.getContext("2d");
var img = new Image();
img.src = "uploads/profile/{profile_photo}";
img.onload = function() {
// Ignore. I was playing with the photo.
ctx.drawImage(img, 42, 32, 186, 130, cvs.width/2 - (186-42)/2, cvs.height/2 - (130-32)/2, 186-42, 130-32);
drawLogo(cvs,ctx);
}
}
function drawLogo(cvs,ctx) {
var logo = "Enter Logo Here.";
ctx.fillStyle = "rgba(36,36,36,0.6)";
ctx.strokeStyle = "rgba(255,255,255,0.3)";
ctx.font = "bold italic 6pt Serif";
ctx.textAlign = "left";
ctx.textBaseline = "middle" ;
ctx.save();
ctx.strokeText(logo, 4, cvs.height-11);
ctx.strokeText(logo, 6, cvs.height-11);
ctx.strokeText(logo, 4, cvs.height-9);
ctx.strokeText(logo, 6, cvs.height-9);
ctx.fillText(logo, 5, cvs.height-10);
ctx.restore();
}
window.onload = init;
</script>
Ideally, this would go all the way at the bottom before the end </body> tag, but I put it up higher because of my template system. Apparently, this gives the image time to load after the canvas element has been drawn to the screen and is ready to receive input.
I can't rely on setting the background of the canvas, and I have no desire to contend with refreshes. For whatever reason, just including the script with img.onload = function() {} was not enough. Move it lower, and save yourself the headaches.
