Hi Andy,

But good for you - that it works again.

See u later.

Boris

Hi Andy,

So i am back @ my EZB Notebook. I did a EZB update and I also uninstall/delete and install new the Omron Plugin.

Still everything works except the Name Recognition. A question before:

You work with the new Omron Camera:

B5T-00701-020 with EvaluationSoftware_rev.2.4.1

And not:

B5T-001001 with EvaluationSoftware_v1.2.0 ?

What I did: After install the Plugin, I delete the whole files in the EvaluationSoftware_v1.2.0 folder from the plugin folder.

Then I start the Software from the new Version EvaluationSoftware_rev.2.4.1 - make a Album with 8 Photos from me and save it to Flash and as a *.hac file into the root plugin folder. Then I copy all files from the EvaluationSoftware_rev.2.4.1 into the empty EvaluationSoftware_v1.2.0 from the plugin folder.

Then I start EZB and the Plugin. I write a script:

:loop

ControlCommand("Omron HVC-P", Omron_Detect_Options, "r,f,b")

goto(loop)

And let him run.

I see @ the variable watch that the camera recognize a face and a body and properly a user name, but he will not send to the EZB.

Back in the original Software - The Camera will show my NAME!

So I checked in the plugin folder the files and I found the folder script with the Phyton file hvcp.py - I open the file and I checked a little bit what David has programmed. I think somewhere in this script must be an entry for the User-Names for the old Omron Software. This must be change and then the plugin will work to 100%.

UPDATE:

I copy from the original software folder "EvaluationSoftware_rev.2.4.1/B5T-007001/0/" all files

"RegistData" folder "Device" and "Settings" files

to:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\EZ-Builder\Plugins\a9bdf8cb-7beb-4dc6-96cf-2fadfaaba8eb\EvaluationSoftware_v1.2.0\DB\

Then i go to :

C:\Users\Public\Documents\EZ-Builder\Plugins\a9bdf8cb-7beb-4dc6-96cf-2fadfaaba8eb\EvaluationSoftware_v1.2.0\DB\RegistData\000

and open with a Editor "UserInfo.dat"

I see this:

0
Boris
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

i change to this:

0
Boris

And funny way it works now!

I am not shure if this is all, BUT now it works!

You can check yourself!

Boris

Other Question:

I got Values for $Omron_face_CoordY for Example "704"

BUT for $Omron_face_CoordX everytime "0"

This is also an error.

Boris

Next week I will try your changes. Thank you for sharing them. Ron

Hi Andy,

no prob!

Tell me if it works.

I am also interested to do something with the Omron Face Reco with sense.

Only say: Hello Boris! If the Camera recognize me, is a little bit boring.

Ok - it give the possiblitie that the Omron can ask me why i am Happy or Angry...

( After the Camera maybe check 10 times the SAME emotionally state from me)

Or the Omron ask - why you look up - look down

Closing Eyes - Is more for not sleeping when you are driving! ;-)

And the age and gender? I know how old iam what i am ;-)

So maybe someone has another ideas what the Omron Camera can do.

Best Boris

Hello again Boris,

Some of the things I plan on doing is open text files which will allow discussions for the person the camera sees.

@JustinRatliff has been working with the use of text files which should allow the camera to do a lot more. This way if the camera sees a different person, it will speak about the things set up for that person.

An example is I like Football. My wife likes Basketball. When one of us sits with the robot and we discuss sports, the robot will speak to us about the sport we like.

Gender and age could be used with facial recognition to help confirm the person it is speaking to. Age is good if a child is seen., maybe for games to play.

Emotion ? I don't know. Blink, gaze, etc. ? I think these are more for the commercial use of the camera.

Boris and other Omron Camera users,

I have no knowledge of Python and am not a programmer in any way. Is it possible to build a plugin which will allow the loading of facial recognition information, files, pictures and name into the Omron software?

A separate "Data Load" script would be used to copy in say, 8 pictures with a statement "smile" prior to each picture load. A name would have to be typed in later or maybe "text to speech" to load the name?

Just a question from a non-programmer, Omron camera user.
