I'm experiencing an issue with the plugin. After running for about 30 minutes ARC will freeze up. According to windows the program is still responding, but effectively it is not. Ram usage also increases from around 300 mb to 600 mb. It only happens when listening is active . STT status doesn't make a difference. No other project controls or plugins are running. I can reproduce this error on a second pc in a different project.

Any thoughts?

@larschrjensen

I fixed a memory leak. Let me know if the new version fixes the problem.

@ptp Indeed it does. Thanks

Thanks @ptp. I feel a little silly now. Worked like a charm. I was calling the VR from speech to text and then processing in the text to speech script and not creating a script after VR processed. User Problem :-)

@nink

Please send me a email, I wish to discuss something with you. My addy is in my profile.

Thanks

The following posts are related to the Visual Recognition.

I took a picture of playing card (Seven of Clubs)

Then i performed a few quick tests:

IBM Watson Visual Recognition Services:

Microsoft Computer Vision API :

Google:

It's obvious these results don't help.

Step 1: Create and train an image custom classifier:

I've used the EZ-Robot camera V2, it's important to use the same camera for training and recognition.

Using the ARC camera snapshot control, i took 10-15 pictures of each card (7,8,9,Jack,King) of Clubs.

It's important to test different light conditions, angles, orientations etc.

I created a zip file one for each card image folder.

then i run the following script:

#Don't use dash or symbols for class names
DefineArray($Classes,5) 
$Classes[0]="SevenOfClubs"
$Classes[1]="EightOfClubs"
$Classes[2]="NineOfClubs"
$Classes[3]="JackOfClubs"
$Classes[4]="KingOfClubs"

DefineArray($ZipFiles,5) 
$ZipFiles[0]="C:\Users\ptp\Pictures\My Robot Pictures\7-Clubs.zip"
$ZipFiles[1]="C:\Users\ptp\Pictures\My Robot Pictures\8-Clubs.zip"
$ZipFiles[2]="C:\Users\ptp\Pictures\My Robot Pictures\9-Clubs.zip"
$ZipFiles[3]="C:\Users\ptp\Pictures\My Robot Pictures\Jack-Clubs.zip"
$ZipFiles[4]="C:\Users\ptp\Pictures\My Robot Pictures\King-Clubs.zip"

ControlCommand("IBM Watson Services", CreateClassifier, "PlayingCards", "$Classes", "$ZipFiles")

This will upload the images files and will create a Custom classifier name: PlayingCards with 5 classes (SevenOfClubs ... KingOfClubs)

The training will start after the upload, can take a few minutes, depends on the number of classes, pictures, picture size etc.

Step 2: List the existent custom classifiers and their status e.g. Ready, Training.

ControlCommand("IBM Watson Services", GetClassifiers, "$Classifiers" )
$NumOfClassifiers=GetArraySize("$Classifiers" )
print("Found " + $NumOfClassifiers + " classifiers")

IF ($NumOfClassifiers>0)
  REPEAT ($ix, 0, $NumOfClassifiers-1, 1)
    $ClassifierId=$Classifiers[$ix]
    print("ClassifierId=" + $ClassifierId)

    ControlCommand("IBM Watson Services", GetClassifier, $ClassifierId, "$ClassifierInfo", "$ClassifierClasses" )
    print("...Name="+$ClassifierInfo[1])
    print("...Status="+$ClassifierInfo[2])
    print("...CreatedOn="+$ClassifierInfo[3])
    print("...Errors="+$ClassifierInfo[4])

    $NumOfClasses=GetArraySize("$ClassifierClasses" )
    print("...Found " + $NumOfClasses + " classes:" )
    REPEAT ($cx, 0, $NumOfClasses-1, 1)
      print("......" + $ClassifierClasses[$cx])
    ENDREPEAT

  ENDREPEAT
ENDIF

is training:

running again the same code:

it's ready to be used.
