snowman, that is exactly how haarcascades work underneath it all...ratio computation on multiple rectangles....i think for futher distance face detection, all that is really needed is a better higher resolution camera...or zoom capabilities..i have a logitech quickcam zoom, and built into it's driver is a face tracker that digitally zooms into the frame and centers you face.  then face recog software's job is even easier.  if two people enter the frame, it recenters so both of their faces are in frame.  pretty cool..but it would work over longer distances if the camera was a higher res...and lighting is key.  our eyes are amazing at detecting even one photon...these ccd's in webcams are crap.  even the best.  now these are cameras. with some serious cost. and features.

snowman..i love you.  that was exactly what i was thinking for the plugin...it's probably gonna get big and unwieldy pretty quick...but most of the work just has to be added and compiled into emgucv...and i'm pretty sure most of it is in the examples already..shape and blob detection, color, face..so it looks like halvisionx gets a bunch more compiled features and the script needs tons of busy work. since we are on faces now, how do we go about adding an image acquisition to the face detector...like the first time hal sees a new face he snaps a pic, databases it and asks for a name, then tags it...then recalls it.  and push the new user change on him.  maybe give him so free will in choosing who he address's if there are multiple people if front of the camera.  just another thought...i'm gonna work on the all angles face detection now.

i've been using it for about two weeks now and it's werkin great!  he does get some gibberish now and again but that's dreaming for ya...if you want a copy of the plugin i'm using, i can post it.  but it's the same one that used to be available, so you already have it.  mine does seem to enter allot of things into the appoinment book...but maybe thats the backdoor into  his brain we need...who knows?

hey snowman, how do we add different facial perspectives to the face rec software?  like right now it detects faces from the front, but i want from front, side, 3/4 view, the works! its all those haar files...can we add more than one to the recognition in emgucv or is it a one at a time thing?  does that make any sense?

just a thought, but one of the biggest evolutionary points of emotions, which are just instincts label by self aware man, is to filter our experiences into good pile and bad pile.  then experiences and thoughts are re-integrated into the brain with the new emotional weighting.  This happens in order to make us strive for more rewards(dopamine).  so maybe hals dreams can be emotionally weighted so when they are re-integrated, he only keeps the good data.  good as in coherent,but also good as in positive experiences....just a thought or am i crazy?

no bugs so far...but getting it runnin right was a real pain!  watch that .net installation as well as any other VB redistributable packages are all up to date. and LS, yer right, that script is gonna be the money shot for HAL..right now it just takes "::" but one day, your face will trigger your name to output, or the color of your shirt will trigger a "color" "shirt" input....this plugin is gonna get huge!

so who has the dream plugin and who doesn't?  does anyone need it?  we need to get this thing working completely..right now, it just searches and talks...it's cool, but not enough..he's not reintegrating what he learned into his brain...how do we do this?  this will speed up learning by big factors!

aint no thing but a chicken wing...now to work on the mother of all vision plugins for hal...thats gonna be where all the magic happens..unless robert wants to open some code base?...teehee..had to try.

UPDATE:

.NET 3.5SP1 is still necessary...if people with XP don't have it, then they need the FULL version.  it might not install with HAL installed, so you may need to unistall hal(BACKUP YER STUFF) , install .NET3.5SP1, then reinstall HAL.

i'm not sure if it is the signing or not, but the prog runs on my machine now, but i get no video...camera light kicks on, but no video.

what i did was publish, then copy the release folder into hal's folder then made a link to the executable...rather than run the clickonce setup...mine is now working...but yers is not..

oh and don't forget to add the needed .dll's to both the debug and the release folder...i made that mistake myself.

got it...add the emgucv dll's from the examples bin folder into yer release folder then redo the publish then it works for XP...yay!

this stuff....OpenCV dll's (cv110.dll, cxcore110.dll etc) are in the same folder as your executable. If you download the SourceAndExample.ZIP file, copy everything from the bin folder to the folder of your executable.'


OHHHH..one more thing...ya gotta turn off signing on the clickonce manifests....then it werks a charm on XP...Phewww..


BUT IT WON'T RUN OUTSIDE THE DEBUGGER!!
