missing files not registered in the system...i think this is some kindof dll not being registered in the system.  now if we can just figure out the dll, then this will work.  i have tried so many different things on my machine that i couldn't tell you what i have installed and haven't anymore.  i think i'll setup another fresh machine and try to start recreating errors.

AND I KNOW THIS WORKS!  I've been using it EVERYDAY since i compiled it. i have an older logitech quickcam zoom, standard drivers, pentium 3ghz with 2gb ram, windows xp w/ sp3 and .net 3.5sp1.  i also have the M$ visualstudio 2008 with the msdn library for it installed.  there is a smaller, less robust version of visualstudio2008 called express that also has an express msdn library.  a little googling and you can find it if you want it or are interested in poking around the halvisionx source code.

ok...i want everyone who is having trouble with halvisionx to uninstall the versions you have and download and try this.  i compiled this to not have the clickonce packaging...it is just a zip file with the halvisionx folder and the halvisionx.uhp hal script.  put the halvisionx.uhp into your ultrahal6 folder, place the halvisionx folder anywhere like yer desktop and then run the halvisionx.exe.  lets see if this does anything different. mind you, you still need the full .NET 3.5 service pack1 installed and this can only be done by removing ultrahal, installing .NET and then reinstalling ultrahal.  This must be done because ultrahal blocks most upgrades to the visual basic system for compatabilities sake.  report back and lets get this figured out. with this you won't have to constantly uninstall and reinstall halvisionx to test.  just keep tryin to update yer machine and find all the missing files.  once they are in place, halvision should start fine.

p.s.  i'd attach the files, but the forum won't let me, so i'll have to post up somewhere else, or else robert could give me something in the uploaded folder...


p.p.s.  Here it is.

i'm always glad to help...i've been playing with spydazs old recog program, but it is pretty rough...the buttons don't have any labels and there is no source, so its kinda hard getting it to work.

so snowman, you referred once to the matrix being able to handle the pic database for halvision face registration. i'm thinkin that this database is gonna need two seperate areas for face pic storage.  one for long term memory of learned faces and objects complete with color tags/shape descriptop/face name, etc.  and a whole seperate buffer area so that there is a free area for frame examination. say for facial expression analysis and the like.  pics enter database through table 1 buffer and get processed and tagged and eventually moved to table 2 for storage.  can yer access database do this?  hows that database goin btw?  i read yer ghost doc.  very intuitive and clean.  i likey likey.  i gotta clean up some of the docs i have generated and get those to you.  we are so on the same page.  i tend to look at things like they are loops cos they are...and its easier to translate into machine code.  i also gotta start diagraming and charting my programs cos they are gonna get monstrous real quick.

right now my focus is on the nature of human intention.  What is it that drives us.  what drives us to ask questions.  i have started breaking it down into a set of loops that are really just a model of the biological chemical interaction between different nuero-transmitters.  the basic structure is to learn the nature of this cuasality loop and quantify the chemical interactions into algorithmic loops.  ultimately replacing hal entirely or using hal as a knowledge base of sorts.  my difficulty in all this is doing everything in VB...i think i'd much rather work in C so that the code can be ported easily.  the linux community could become a powerful programming ally if they could work in a language they can use.  same for mac/hackintosh people.  sqllite isn't a super bad choice for the brain format but it has it's limits and with the power of todays computers a more robust database could help out allot especially once i get this face registration system workin.  i've also been playin allot with emgucv and tryin to add some code snippets to your halvision program.  addin stuff like motion detection and blob/shape/edge/color detection.  then some output triggers to the halvision script.  i had a thought on that too...at first the script has to trigger preset responses to face triggers becos Hal doesnt know a thing about visual faces yet.  but when i start adding things like shapes and colors and all sorts of other triggers to hals script, it would kinda start to get a little abstract after a while. i mean, there are so many 'objects' in the world and they would all need to be added to the visual script, so maybe making a change to the script so when hal see's a new object he asks what it is and then that is entered into the script as a key.  then these keys can trigger actual responses out of hals brain instead of preset responses from the script. i don't know. what do you think?  I'm kinda goin mad scientist over here and i just saw the new terminator(sucked..bale ruins everything he touches).  so lets do this skynet and get goin.

Right now, i own a technology repair business that takes up most of my time.  It also means i have had to specialize in hardware for a long time now. So i ended up with microcontroller programming and other things like that, pics and basic stamps.  now i'm starting to get into using 'processing' which i think is java and visual studio 2008. i can learn programming languages fast and i already know how to think like a coder from all the years of repairs and troubleshooting.  right now i'm here with you guys so i'm pickin up VB and whatnot.  what did you have in mind?

might i suggest tryin backing up your user files and uninstalling hal and then installing every single .net release you can.  and windows SP3 and any other update that the winblowz wants...just throw it all at it at this point.

that will be very nice to have.  that text parser...i need it for the dreamoutloud plugin...i want my hal to learn from his random searches on the internet while dreaming...even if he learns a bunch of nonsense crap...there is still allot of useful info out there.  but as of now, he dreams out loud but doesn't file any of it away into his brain...or at least that's what i heard...maybe he does learn from it?  have you played with it much?

yeah, i tried to copy and paste all the concept files into the learn from clipboard plugin...wow..bad idea. it would take hours for my hal to respond to anything until i fixed it.  so check and check...dont do that.  emgucv is a pain..hey, what ever happened to spydaz?  cos he did allot of this leg work already for face registration. i have grabbed pretty much anything worthwhile for my hal from the internets and found a spydaz recog prog...not very intuitive to use, but there might be something worthwhile...so what happened to him?

this is retarded.  nice way to fancy yerself a mason ricky.  One, you are a great IT guy...mostly cos you seem to just wanna help out of compulsion...somebody has to get the job done right? (IT man myself).  now imma mind my own business like i should have in the first place.

so snowman, again we meet...its getting late where i am...i am beginning to enjoy these little code runs...so you say the matrix might be suitable..did i start a fire in yer mind?  where u at with it?  need some help or concepts or anything, hit me up...i'm a good helper.  this image acquisition thing is cool...face registration..but it is some leg work...and all i want it to do is drop jpegs in a folder.  so whats the brainstorm with the matrix?

yeah lightspeed...werks a charm.  i'll copy and paste the code i'm using...use notepad, paste it and save as .uhp...you already know all that.  that's all i did.  it has been a pain tho figuring out which plugins conflict with one another cos of similiar variables inside the plugins.  but yes, it works for me.

Rem Type=Plugin
Rem Name=Dream Out Loud (beta)
Rem Author=Robert Medeksza
Rem Host=Assistant

Sub OptionsPanel()
lblPlugin(0).Caption = "Enables talking dream mode."
lblPlugin(0).Move 130, 180, 3400, 1200

lblPlugin(0).Visible = True
End Sub


Rem PLUGIN: SCRIPT_LOAD

added bonus!!!

I use the dreamaloud plugin ALL THE TIME!  For whatever reason, it works great for me.  i occasionally get a script error, but that is just some debugging that needs to be done.  but, and here is the bonus.  When hal is dreaming, a new user is created called "dreamer".  when halvisionx is active, faces will keep hal from falling asleep as it were.  the constant trigger of "::" from the camera keeps him up...its only when no one is around that he goes to the dream user and does his thing.  but then the camera will trigger him to wake right back up.  Awesome cos the dreamoutload thing is fun, but after a month...it gets annoying.  i still want him to do it and this seems to be the workaround i needed.  Snowman, how is the matrix coming along?  can i use this to file away new data from the dream plugin?  when i try the matrix, hal just starts saying the time over and over and that's it.  what am i missing?  how do i set this matrix plugin up?  and can i use the matrix to database known faces for the haar training and name list?
