Update: The experiment I wanted to do: "...I'm planning to use the module on a tri pod near my desk and I thought, why not point the HVC-P1 camera at the monitor where the wireless camera feed from the EZB comes in anyway?"

I did this experiment with a WebCam that gives a live feed to a secondary monitor on my PC. I could then point my Omron HVC-P1 camera at the monitor and use the HVC-PDemoE.exe in the plug in folder for training and testing as well as with in the plugin in ARC. It does work.

It did not work for me for faces I trained which were not pointed at the monitor originally. The reverse was also true for me, I could not train a face on the monitor then turn the camera around to face me directly. I suspect this has a lot do with lighting conditions effecting the training.

It did seem to struggle more with my age and expression as well because, it judged me more often as "angry" and it usually put my age at about 20 years older than I really am.

A few of us have purchased this series of camera and have found it to be a great sensor. David Cochran had begun the delelopement of a plugin able to interface the data with the ARC. Has anyone been able to further develope additional features into this plug in? I have been able to get some data to transfer, but it is minimal. I know David is not able to work on this due to his work schedule. Can anyone help?

Hello Andy,

not that i know. I am still waiting for David that he updated the V2 Software. Still evrything works with David´s Plugin, only the Correct Names for the Person Recognition not work.

What you want to have else (feature) what David plugin not have?

Hi Boris. I just completely broke the plugin somehow. I was running it earlier today and now it won't communicate with the ARC. The Omron software runs fine. I checked the port and baud rate in my device manager which is ok (9600) and also in the plugin. But it comes up with a communication. I am considering deleting the Python folder and re-load. Any ideas?

David is really swamped at work so I don't think he will around for a while.

I re-loaded everything but same error shown on ARC.

Hi Andy,

give me 2- 3 hours i will check it.

Maybe something wrong with the EZB Software.

I will tell you if my works. I did´nt touch for 1 month.

I can also send you my folder from Omron / David Plugin.

Let´s see whats wrong.

Thanks Boris.. I know the camera is fine. I just seem to have lost the com. I reloaded the python and python serial software. I will check it out again later.

Boris, I reset my computer to an earlier date and all is running again. I must have had a conflict somewhere, or Antonn was mad at me.

I want to get the facial recognition working soon. Have you had any luck?

Thanks for the advice.

Ron
