As we move further into the 21st century, the era of communication and social media continues to grow and evolve. Blogs, YouTube and other social media formats consume videos regularly. The ability to capture from these sources is mandatory.

When dealing with DICOM files, there are times when you need to include an image in a report or provide images to a patient so they can view the data without needing a DICOM-specific application. Thankfully, the LEADTOOLS Medical SDK makes it easy for you to create an application to extract an image from a DICOM file.

Sometimes I'll take what I think is a really great video on my cell phone, only to find out my hand was shaking while I was recording. Thankfully, I know the LEADTOOLS SDK provides many filters that can be used to add color, annotations, and remove the shaking or vibration present in a video.

In this demonstration, I will be working with the LEAD Video Stabilizer Filter to remove shaking present in the Test_VideoStabilizer.avi video.

While we can talk all day about how great LEADTOOLS is, it's always meaningful to hear a review from an outside developer. Today, we're sharing with you a review of our LEADTOOLS OCR Module - LEAD Engine written by Jeffrey T. Fritz

I live in an older house that loves to bother me with the joys of home ownership and maintenance. Plumbing issues, strange electrical installation choices, and a 30-year-old furnace that burns oil. At first, the oil burner wasn’t a big deal because this meant I wasn’t paying for an electric heater. However, it did mean that my basement had a huge oil tank hiding in it that would need to be refilled on a regular basis during the cold winters. That shouldn’t be a problem... but I would never know the level of the oil in the tank unless I wandered down to the basement on a regular basis and checked the level by reading an old gauge mounted on the top of the tank.

As a technologist, this daily task of reading the oil tank gauge became tiresome and I had no way to know how quickly I was burning oil. What is the correlation between average daily temperature and the amount of oil my furnace burns? I wanted to solve the problem and started with a pad of paper and wrote down the daily readings. BORING! Who wants to read hard copy? I want this data on my phone, and I want to be collected without my daily trip to the basement to read the meter.

As part of the LEAD Technologies 25th anniversary, we are creating 25 projects in 25 days to celebrate LEAD's depth of features and ease of use. Today's project comes from Faris.
