To rotate the image we copy the data from arrImage1 to arrImage2
changing lines and colummns in the right manner.

 0 degree: no rotation, lines   starts from zero to linemax
                         columms starts from zero to columnmax

 90 degree: columms starts from columnmax to zero
            lines   starts from zero to linemax

180 degree: lines   starts from linemax to zero
            columms starts from columnmax to zero

270 degree: columms starts from zero to columnmax
            lines   starts from linemax to zero

every pixel of image is composed with four bytes
first byte blue, second green, third red, fourth byte is not used
For the gray value we take 11% blue, 59% green and 30% red

      grayblue  = arrImage1[index1];     // add 11%
      grayblue *= 28;
      graygreen = arrImage1[index1+1];   // add 59%
      graygreen *= 151;
      grayred   = arrImage1[index1+2];   // add 30%
      grayred  *= 77;
      grayall = grayblue + graygreen + grayred;
      grayall /= 256;

!! multiply with 28 and to divide with 256 ist the same
   as multiply with 11 and to divide with 100

To detect motions in an image we need a reference image.
The original or new image subtracted from the reference image is the motion value.
This operation is made with every pixel inside a defined rectangle and the sum of
all pixels gives us the motion value.
The difference is always absolute.



The reference image is a low pass filtered image.
The value of every pixel is calculated as follow:

PixelFilteredNew = PixelFilteredOld - PixelFilteredOld/8 + PixelNewValue/8;

The value 8 is the filter level.

inside a given rectangle we made the difference (absolute mode)

 of every

pixel from the reference image and the new image.

inside a given rectangle we made the difference (absolute mode)
of every
pixel from the reference image and the new image.

A blue rectangle is illuminated if the motion value rises a given level.

The motion can be detected with different color pixels.

if the variation of motion exceeds the threshold an image with progressive number

will be saved

to the actual directory: xx1.jpg, xx2.jpg ..... xxnn.jpg

this program can be used like a webcam-alarm-system

you can use another webcam-program and take images in your program to

elaborate or modify the image.

You can make motion detect, edge detect and more  . . .

Move the mouse over the other program-window and push the digit key '1'

The handle from window on this mouse position will be copied in a variable,

the content of this window will be copied in the arrImage1 and painted in our window.

You can make elaboration directly in the arrImage1 or copy to another array and make

there the elaboration.
