Hi Andy,

yes i was thinking the same, but i must say the Omron is tausend times better for face recognition then the EZB Camera or a Logitech HD Webcam with EZB.

Propertly i want to use 2 Omrons wide and distance

A Webcam for Glymph, QR Code and such a stuff is ok.

A 3D Camera is missing ;-)

No joke - I really more interested to use two Omrons my feeling says to me (if manage to camera value) can be really great!

Boris

PS:

I use for my Moveo Robot - Arm a cool little Mini PC works with WIN10 it´s really fast! You can run with 12V and 2 Amp maybe 4 Amp i forget but 12V!

I tried Odroid Xu4 and Rasperry 3B with Ubuntu Linux and they are slowly!

Specialy the Ordoid!

It´s a TIP if someone serach for something like this.

A good question for the Omron tech support. Maybe they can give you more information? Two eyes are better than one... LOL

Hi Andy,

you are right!

Mostly two are better then one!

LOL

PS:

If you can ask - it will be cool!

I'm taking a stab at updating the plugin David C. made so I can learn more about how it works and update it so it natively works with the Latest Omron demo software so we won't have to do as much manual modification.

One thing that has me scratching my head from the beginning is why we needed to edit the" UserInfo.dat" file after we made a copy of the RegistData folder in the DB folder (that process starts at step 13 to copy the folder and 15 to edit the file in post #104).

The file format did not change between the old version and the new version, it stayed the same, but with out the edit the ARC skill plugin will read the 3rd line of the "UserInfo.dat" file instead of the 2nd line.

I total understand the reason to copy the folder, because the path is hard coded in the plugin and the new version of the EvaluationSoftware stores the data in a different path.

In the source code, in the file Omron_HVC-P.cs, this is the code that deals with actually reading the UserInfo.dat file.

                ///open the UserInfo.dat file
                filepath = filepath + @"\" + longuserid + @"\Userinfo.dat";
                string line = "";
                founduserid = false;
                int linecount = 0;
                using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(filepath, Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1252")))
                {
                    while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
                    {
                        line = line.Replace('\x0', ' ');
                        line = line.Replace(" ", "");
                        ///check to make sure the first line matches the UserID variable
                        if (line == int.Parse((longuserid)).ToString())
                        {
                            founduserid = true;
                            linecount = 1;
                        }
                        ///Get the value from the second line
                        else if (founduserid && linecount == 3)
                        {
                            linecount = 3;
                            UserName = line;
                            break;
                        }
                        linecount++;
                    }
                }
   
                //}
                
                return UserName;

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return "";
            }
        }

The "linecount == 3" puzzles me. The complied plugin works with the old software version. But the file format contains the actual name in line 2 in both the old and new version.

For anyone that can read c# code, any thoughts on how this would work to read the 2nd line in a file? To me it looks like it should always have read the 3rd line.

My assumption is I don't understand what I'm reading because I know David C. and his son know their code!

HI Justin,

to check out the script.py from David plugin was also my first idea, but i must say i am not good in C+, thats why I was searching in the folders and found the UserInfo.dat.

It will be the best to change the plugin and understand the coder. So we can change the plugin and for the future will be all good. No copy and paste Albums and change UserInfo.

Like Justin said: Everybody who understand C# feel free to pimp the plugin

Hi to all:

I saw before 5 Minutes a Report in TV about state monitoring in china and they had an interview with a guy from a chinese firm called "face++"

A firm who develope Face Recognition Software.

https://www.faceplusplus.com/

Interesting, but a software solution what will cost each data stream.

And who know where the data goes ;-)

A Hardware Offline Solution is safer!

Hi Boris,

Any idea how to run the two Omron cameras ? How would you address (identify one from the other) the wide angle camera versus the normal camera ? How would the separate data return ? (variable)

Ron

HI Andy,

Still i don´t know - i wait for my second cam - then i will check out.

I am not so lucky that nobody (except we) is interested in the Omron Cam.

So i don´t know - i think the fastest way to repair the plugin to learn yourself C+!

I have read the Treath "I Miss" and they have right! I miss also a forum for more complicated problems - like our Omron Problem!

Or what i really miss: A possibility to save data from EZB to a Excel file or XML file - however but save data!

I was searching in the EZB forum about this problem, but i not find something like that.

Maybe i open a new treath with this question and maybe somebody will answer.

Boris
