Playing around with Object Tracking tonight and I can't get it to work. I watched The Robot Program 46, to make sure I was doing it right. I have trained a few objects and when I try to track them nothing happens. I don't get a blue box on my camera screen nor does it show any tracking is taking place. Color and QR tracking is working but not the Object tracking. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
If you follow the 046 Tutorial it does work.
I don't know if my issue is something else, but when I reload (re-teach) the faces,it begins to work again. I am even able to have it recognize a face In real time from a picture I have taken with my phone and loaded in.
It works with my IoTiny and even the Webcam on my computer.
Try a clean project. This way the camera doesn't have anything else running.
Be sure the background is not "busy". A plain wall is best.
I wrote the answer and it’s in above post. I can’t rewrite it a different way? I reread it a few times and it appears super clear to me. Not sure what I’m missing that isn’t making sense. Let me try again...
Keep playing with it and you’ll make progress like you have done with the thousands of other things you’ve learned with ARC
. This is a technology that you’re using, and object training does require some understanding of how a computer works. So playing with it and experimenting is the best way.
Seriously, if you don’t train the angles correctly, it’ll never know what the object is without being in the exact angle. I can’t say that any differently.
This also applies to your face. Your smile. Your eyes. Your hair. Etc
It’s training an image. It’s learning images. Anything that isn’t those images won’t detect. It only knows the images that you trained it. It can’t know anything else. I don’t know how else explain it any differently.
And as far as the camera control looking different - it’s the SAME CONTROL but with new features. EZ-Robot adds features to our platform in ever release. Discover the features and history by looking at the ARC page by clicking on the link ARC that’s in blue.
You can discover more about ARC by clicking on the link in blue. See where it says ARC and it’s in blue? Click on that - once you do, you can read more about the software and there’s even a release notes button. If you view release notes, you will see that ARC is updated often with new features. The reason the control has a few new features, which you can see, is because it’s in a release note.
You can look at the differences and determine for yourself what those new features are. In this case, it’s super easy because you can see them.
Have fun! I’ll let you guys take it from here! Take care
I won't be commenting on this any more, I seem to have hit a sore spot or something.
