![]() The total image size is 4096x4096px, which is a grid of 8x8 tiles, so there are 64 tiles. ![]() To get the Green values, you need to go to TileOffset. TileOffsets: The byte offsets of each tile in the image, by sample, so the red values for the first tile start at TileOffsets, and the red values for the second tile start at TileOffsets.TileLength: 512 The tile height, in pixels again.TileWidth: 512 The image is divided into tiles, 512 pixels wide.Explaining why exactly this is true is a bit out of scope of this blog post, but you can read about it at the LZW reference linked above. If the hypothesis that adjacent pixels often resemble one another is true, then the data compressor can do a better job of compressing the data, since it is better able to compress long strings of contiguous values. For example, if the first value was 100% red, it would be 255, and if the second and third pixels were also 100% red, they would both be stored as 0. The TIFF encoder changes each pixel value to the difference from the previous pixel, rather than an absolute value. TIFF takes advantage of this fact with a preprocessing step, prior to compressing the image. Look at all that blue water in the sample image for example, or imagine a farmer’s field. What does this mean, and why does TIFF use this? The idea is that adjacent pixels in an image tend to resemble one another. The value for this image is 2, which means “ Horizontal differencing”. Predictor: 2 This value is related to compression, but not quite the same thing.The Compression value for this image is set to 5, which is LZW compression. As is this is TIFF, there are many ways this can happen. Compression: 5 As with many image formats, image data in TIFFs can be compressed.Let’s go through a few more tags to complete our understanding of this image: We‘re close to being able to do that, but we need to understand a few more things to be able to get at that pixel. Now that we understand how the pixel data is laid out, why don’t we try to read that first pixel? We will pretend it isn’t compressed for now, but we will discuss how compression works later: +-+ Byte Offset | 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | | | Color | R R R R G G G G B B B B A A A A | | | Value | FF 00 00 00 00 FF 00 00 00 00 FF 00 FF FF FF FF | +-+ The pixel data would be written as in the following diagram. ![]() Imagine that each square is a 100% color value for each color sample, and the final value is black, like this: For example, imagine a 2x2 TIFF file with the same TIFF settings as our sample image. Every pixel of colour data is written by writing all of the red values, all of the green values, all the blue values, then all of the alpha values. PlanarConfiguration: 2 This means that Red,Green,Blue, and Alpha data are stored separately.SampleFormat: This means that each sample is unsigned integer data, which means each pixel value is a number from 0–255.BitsPerSample: This means that each sample is stored with 8 bits.What does an alpha channel mean when we’re representing geospatial data? How can part of the earth be transparent? After speaking with fellow Planeteer Kelsey Jordahl, I learned that it really is an alpha channel: but in this case, a transparent pixel means no data! Since Planet doesn’t image in places like the middle of the Pacific Ocean, there needs to be a good way to indicate no data in mosaics. So the fourth colour channel is an alpha channel. ExtraSamples: 2 The value is set to 2, which means “ Associated alpha data (with pre-multiplied color)”.The first three are easy to understand, RGB, but what is the 4th? Well, we can figure that out with: SamplesPerPixel: 4 The number of color channels per pixel.PhotometricInterpretation: 2 This is the color space of the image, which means whether the image is black and white, RGB, etc.ImageLength: 4096 The height of the image.ImageWidth: 4096 The width of the image.I’ll summarize the values that are important for us to read a pixel below: The tag dump should give us all the information we need to read a pixel out of the image. You can view the full output of this in this gist. Let’s run the script: $ go run tiff-dump.go la.tif Version: 42 Byte Order: little endian IFD 0: You may think this is cheating, but we already learned how to read these tags without special tools in the last post, so we are simply automating what we learned last time. To begin understanding this file, we’re going to decode all of the TIFF tags with a simple dumper tool. An image of Los Angeles from Planet’s February 2018 Basemap.

![]() The Zune 4 and 8 come with a USB connection cord and basic headphones. The Zune 80 came bundled with a USB connection cord and premium headphones. A free firmware update added the new software features to the original Zune 30, and was released on November 13, 2007. The new software also allows a Zune to communicate with other Zunes to share pictures and songs. The ability to sync wirelessly (automatically if connected to a power supply), podcast support, and an upgraded song-sharing licensing are now available on all models. Both come with a new touchpad-style input device and new software (also available for the updated Zune 30.) Additional file support for H.264 and MPEG-4 formats was also included, whereas the older Zune 30 requires these formats to be transcoded to WMV prior to sync. The Zune 80 featured a 3.2 inch screen, while the Zune 4 and 8 come with an 1.8 inch screen. These were to be known as the second generation of Zunes. ![]() The Zune 80 was announced on October 2, 2007, along with the smaller Zune 4 and Zune 8 to compete with Apple's iPod nano line. A Zune was used as one of the main props for the movie 'Another Cinderella Story' starring Selena Gomez. Retail packages contained a pair of basic headphones, a carrying case, USB cord, and a software CD. The Zune 30 was initially available in black, brown or white. The first Zune model, the Zune 30, was released in the United States on November 14, 2006, featuring a capacity of 30 gigabytes, FM radio, and a 3 inch screen. Zune's primary competitor is the Apple iPod product line. Files can be shared wirelessly between Zunes and PCs as well as other Zune devices. FM radio features include RBDS, which receives and displays digital information in conventional FM radio broadcasts. FM radio is available on all Zune hardware models, while Zune HD also features HD radio. Zune's distinguishing features are its FM radio, subscription model, and the Zune Social. Zune Pass is a subscription music service that allows the user to temporarily download an unlimited number of songs for the length of the Zune Pass subscription, as well as permanently keep up to 10 tracks per month. Purchasing items from it requires Microsoft Points or a Zune Pass. It can rip CDs, manage music and can be used to access Zune Marketplace. The Zune software is used to manage the Zune, and runs exclusively on Windows XP and later. Zune Social allows two Zunes to send songs wirelessly, but with extensive DRM restrictions. Each user has a personal Zune Tag, which corresponds with his Xbox Live Gamer Tag if he has one. The Zune Social is a service integrated with Xbox Live that allows users to manage friends, send messages, and compare music. Zune Marketplace Software offers music, TV shows, movies, podcasts, and music videos. The Zune entertainment software platform and supporting products designed and marketed by Microsoft include Zune Marketplace Software, the Zune Social, Windows 7 Media Center ( Podcasts only) and Xbox 360 (TV & Movies).

The other half us a very reasonable view called Forecast. It looked pretty, but I seemed to spend more time futzing than actually, you know, getting things done. I used these often when Appigo’s To Do was my management system. Note that there are no priority levels (three stars for most important, two for moderate importance), and no color coding for each category (Music is red, Books are purple). There’s a nice big note field, and I use hat to capture URLs, reminders of the most recent attempted contact (left phone message on sent reminder email on ). I can stop there, deciding to add a flag to any high-priority tasks, but I prefer to add a due date to every task (start dates are also an option, but I don’t work that way). Then, I select a project, again from my own list that includes: Art, Books, Digital Insider, Home, Music, Software, Travel, Web Site, and various, specific work-related projects. After naming the task, I select a context from my own list that includes: Awaiting Response, Call, Create, First Contact, Followup, Just Do It, On Hold, Purchase, Research, Schedule, Visit Web Site, and Write.

So what’s the big deal about OmniFocus? There are dozens of to-do and reminder apps, with sync, available for far less than OmniFocus. (The one thing that I like even more about Evernote is that I can also access everything via any web browser, but that has not been much of an issue when I use OmniFocus because I always have a OmniFocus device with me). I’m busy, I jot down a note or reminder on my iPhone, and I can fetch it, adding details or changes as I wish, on my iPad, or office iMac. What I like about Evernote, I like (or will soon like) about OmniFocus. When something needs to get done, I enter it into OmniFocus. I no longer make random lists (well, almost never). And every task, every to-do, every reminder is logged in a capable, well-designed software application called OmniFocus. During the past few months, I have retrained myself so that all notes are dated, tagged, written and stored in Evernote. We’ve certainly experienced this phenomenon with smart phones, then tablets, email, web browsing, and for some, Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking activities.

They did tell him they were looking for a robbery suspect, so Long cooperated and let them photograph him. The car’s interior also matched what Lisa McVey had described. They pulled the car over and they checked his license which is when they confirmed the driver was Bobby Joe Long, and his address matched the area that the police were searching for the killer’s apartment. In real life, Detective W olf and was on patrol with another detective when they saw the car. ![]() The detective is shown saying that an armed robbery had taken place nearby and they needed to take a photo so the victim could confirm it wasn’t Long who had done it.īelieve Me was actually very accurate to how this exchange played out in the true story. They didn’t have enough evidence to arrest the driver, so instead photographed him so that McVey could formally identify him first. Did Detective Wolf photograph Long and tell him the armed robber story?įinally, in the film, a man called Detective Wolf is shown out on patrol when he spots the car they believe belonged to their killer. It has not be explicitly reported that this exact drive through happened in the real story, but Lisa McVey did provide the police with directions and clues to where they apartment was, so it is likely that this, or something similar, did also happen. She lies down in the police car, blindfolded the same way she was on the night, and directs the police. There is one scene in Believe Me when police are trying to track the exact location of Bobby Joe Long’s apartment, so they take Lisa McVey in the car from where she was abducted and try to recreate the journey. Lisa McVey is shown doing the drive she did with Long, but with police These same red fibres were found on Lisa McVey, and were part of the red interior of Long’s car. In the true story, red fibres were found at the crime scene of Bobby Joe Long’s other murder victims. I could take care of you, and no one ever has to know,” McVey recalled. “I said, ‘Listen, it’s unfortunate how we met, but I can be your girlfriend. She then said she was caring for her seriously ill father, who would die without her, and Long released her. In order to be freed, Lisa McVey told Long that she could be his girlfriend and nobody would have to know about him abducting her. Lisa told Long she would be his girlfriend and that she had a sick father to look after Lisa spotted a “Magnum” nameplate on Long’s car, which was a rare feature, and helped detectives to track down the exact car he was driving.

This is because when he held her captive she had touched his face and studied it – remembering details like his facial hair and how close together his eyes were, especially so she could tell police. She studied the face of Bobby Joe Long with her handsīelieve Me: The Abduction of Lisa McVey shows one poignant scene, where despite being blindfolded the entire time, Lisa was able to recall Long’s facial features. This may have been slightly adapted for the film. One report instead says that in the real life case, McVey was on her period when she was abducted and left blood evidence in his car and his flat. One part of the film which it isn’t clear is true or not, is where it shows Lisa McVey biting her finger in the car so that she can leave blood on the car seat – which would later be traced back to her. ![]() The blood Lisa left on the seat in Long’s car Lisa then recalled the exact number correctly to police investigators.
