Hi Boris,

I am working on an update for the PlugIn, did you not see that? If you and Ron are the only seriously interested Omron users rights now, that's ok, at least there is the 3 of us. What you and Ron can help with are ideas that you want to see in the plugin update revisions.

As far as your 2 Omron cameras idea, I am actually working with an Omron tech and I asked him on your behalf about your idea he said 2 Cameras should be ok if you are considering them separate cameras (which they would be). If you were thinking of daisy chaining them together, that would not work.

The problems you would run into is trying to use the same database files (.hac and UserInfo.dat files); you would need two directories and two identical copies of the files and the .hac file would need loaded in each camera. - That might be tricky. This means ultimately the plugin would need a special modification to allow for multiple installation paths and multiple HVC-P cameras.

HI Justin!

YOU also here (joke)

Sounds really cool your connection to the Omron tech!

For the two Cameras - My ideas was to have two albums One for the wide and one for the distance!

I want to have two times the same values and then i want to calculate / average the best value for example Emmotion - age or Face Reco.

My idea - with two eyes you can see better ;-)

So i understand this can work!

I wait for the delivery and then i can begin to test.

To the Update:

Great,cool and SUPER! that you work on an update for the Plugin!

And no - i did´nt see that - can i download it from the plugin section - i will check.

And that we can give ideas is awesome and wonderfull! I and i think Ron (Andy) will do that!

You are a cool guy Justin! Thanx for oyu help!

Again Happy Halloween

Boris

LOL, no I'm not close to finished with any update to the plugin! HAHA I still have a day job too. Maybe in couple of weeks I'll have a rev.1 released. But keep the ideas coming in the mean time.

Happy Halloween!

Hi Justin!

Ok i was searching and think myself i am blind.... ;-) ok no problem I was waiting so long some days or weeks "Do not make the cabbage more fat"

I am thinking what you said to copy the same album in two folders.

mmmm

Also interesting - Because my idea was to record my face with the wide cam and then with the distance cam. So in this way i have two different albums ( but with the same person - me)

Because my calculation - you can save 10 picutures for a person 8 from different angles)

Two Cameras means 20 Pictures from the same Person .... Must be more reliable for Recognition.

Meanwhile i am writing down some point what will be interesting for the plugin.

Boris

Right, for a technical solution you can either share the folders and trained faces (the same 10), you can you train 2 different sets (up to 10 faces per user in each set for a total of 20 between the 2 per user).

You or we would probably need to experiment to see which way yields the best results. The Omron tech said to their knowledge no one else is doing that. "....To Boldly Go, where No One Has Gone Before!"

Hi Guys, Sounds interesting.

HI Justin Hi Andy,

Yeahhh, let´s go where no humans where before. ;-)

At the day i got the second cam i will try and post.

Boris

I am learning a lot about the Omron cameras. Their technical support is fantastic!

1st off, the site Ron found mentioned that the Omron P2 camera could detect pets. This answer is coming straight from Omron "We have Pet Detection but it is not available with HVC-P2. Only for consumer model called HVC-C series but this is already discontinued." No go for pets.

2nd Omron confirmed that the user albums (the UserInfo.dat files) are of a different format between HVC-P and HVC-P2 cameras. So while we can open the files in Notepad and the data appears the same to use, the format is different enough to cause David Cochran's plugin to read the 3rd line of the UserInfo.dat file.

If I use the application NotePad++ to view the files I can see the format of the UserInfo.dat file saved from the v2 software is "UCS-2 LE BOM" formatted. While the v1 software UserInfo.dat files are encoded format "UCS-2 Little Endian".
