hi everyone,

forgive me if you think i am asking a stupid question as i am using SentiSight for the first time.But can anyone tell me what is the link between SentiSight and C#? I sincerely need somebody to enlighten me. Thanks.

hi all,

i had been a task to do a project by my supervisor to monitor and track motion object using SentiSight SDK. My supervisor just give me the SentiSight folder and tell me to work on it. But my problem is after i search the folder i can't open the application to sentisight. So i want to know what is the application name to open the SentiSight application? thanks a million.

with regards

Hi,

If you need to use C# programming language to use SentiSight SDK you should use provided .Net wrappers. See the tutorials in tutorials\C# folder to see how it is done.

it depends what was given to you. If your supervisor gave you the whole downloaded SDK folder, then you should be able to run Sample application from the bin\win32_x86 folder, if you are Windows user. If you are receiving any errors, then, please provide more details on it or report them to support@neurotechnology.com.

hi all,

Just want to check if anyone knows why when i open my SentiSight tutorial and debug it, it will just appear a black window screen for a few seconds and will auto stop degugging? Thank you.

SentiSight tutorials are Console Applications. Some of them, as Camera Manager, require additional parameters to be passed during execution.

Stopping of debugging means that application finished its work. If you need, you can go through the tutorial step by step (F11 in Visual Studio) or you can set the breakpoint.

Hi,

I had this final year project about tracking and monitoring of motion object using SentiSight SDK. How do i get about my webcam to detect foreign objects on a station view? Must i program it to let it learn what is the foreign object first then can detect or can i just let it detect the foreign object witthout learning? Help needed. Thank you.

SentiSight SDK is able to recognize only learned objects. So if you need to recognize the object firstly it must be learned.

If you need to track and monitor people then you may need to use VeriLook Surveillance SDK.

Hi,

Firstly, thank for your reply. My first task is to program to let it detect foreign object and sound a alarm using SentSight first. So as you had said i will need to let it learn first then i can detect the object. So i tried to debug "SESample.vcproj" to learn the code from there. However, it appear a error of "fatal error C1083:Cannot open include file:'wx/wx.h':No such file or directory". I need to know what is this error and is it possible to get "SESample" code to be C# instead of C++? thank you.

unfortunatelly there is no C# sample, only tutorials.

To be able to compile provided samples you have to use wxWidgets on your development computer. It can be downloaded from wxWidgets.org.

Hello,

Ihad tried to debug tuturial and it show this two error.:

Error 1: The type or namespace name 'Images' does not exist in the namespace 'Neurotec' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Error :2 The type or namespace name 'Cameras' does not exist in the namespace 'Neurotec' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

May i know what are this two error and how can i solve it? Thanks a million.

nohopeliao wrote:What do you mean by Console Applications? And what do you mean by additional parameters?

Console Application definition can be found here.

Additional parameters are parameters that need to be passed while executing the console application. Example: "CameraManger.exe 15", where CameraManager.exe the name of the application executable, "15" is a parameter.

Check if Neurotec.Images.dll and Neurotec.Cameras.CameraMan.dll are referenced in the project.

Hello,

I tried and it work well. So my next question is how can i let NeruoTech SentiSight to detect my webcam? And allow it to do photo capturing and perhaps video recording? You have my million thanks..

examine the CameraManager tutorial to see how the webcam is detected and the frames are read from it.

Hello,

Itried to add some reference like "CameraMan.dll" to my project but it gave me this error instead:

"A reference to 'D:\Motion Detector\Motion Detector\bin\CameraMan.dll' could not be added. Please make sure that is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component."

And some reference like "Neurotec.Cameras.CameraMan.dll" i can add to my project reference but when debugging, it gave me this error and this warning:

"Error 1: Assembly 'Neurotec.Cameras.CameraMan, Version=1.0.2.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ea4ecf06177ea613' uses 'Neurotec, Version=2.4.5.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ea4ecf06177ea613' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'Neurotec, Version=2.4.1.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ea4ecf06177ea613'"

"Warning 2: Found conflicts between different versions of the same dependent assembly."

So i need your help for letting me know what are this error and warning and how can i solve. Once again thanks alot.

by **Martynas** » Jul 01, 2009 11:22

CameraMan.dll can not be referenced in .Net projects. Instead of it you should use Neurotec.Cameras.CameraMan.dll, which is .Net wrapper for CameraMan.dll.

The second message could be received if you are using dlls from different releases of SDK. If you have also installed other Neurotechnology SDKs on the same computer, it could be a situation that Neurotec.dll is loaded from another location. The best way to be sure that the right dll is used is to copy it to the same folder with the referneced dll.

by **nohopeliao** » Jul 07, 2009 08:21

Hello, I am currently trying to understand this code but there is one part that I don't understand. This is the code:

static void Usage()
{
Console.WriteLine("usage:");
Console.WriteLine("\tCameraManager [FrameCount]");
Console.WriteLine("");
Console.WriteLine("\t[FrameCount] - number of frames to capture from each camera to current directory.");
Console.WriteLine("");
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
string description = ((AssemblyDescriptionAttribute)System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyDescriptionAttribute), false)[0]).Description;
string version = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location).FileVersion;
string copyright = ((AssemblyCopyrightAttribute)System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyCopyrightAttribute), false)[0]).Copyright;
Console.WriteLine("{0}, Version {1}, {2}", description, version, copyright);

if (args.Length < 1)
{
Usage();
}

int frameCount = 0;

if (args.Length >= 1)
{
frameCount = int.Parse(args[0]);
}

What is the "args" means and what does it do? Thanks. =)

Hi,

the answer is here.

by **nohopeliao** » Jul 10, 2009 08:39

Hi

I currently had encountered a problem is that i am unable to show my webcam on my picturebox. This is my code:

CameraMan cameraMan = new CameraMan(null);
foreach (Camera camera in cameraMan.Cameras)
{
CameraVideoFormat videoFormat = camera.VideoFormat;
camera.StartCapturing();
}

Thanks

by **Martynas** » Jul 10, 2009 09:10

Hi,

have you noticed camera.GetCurrentFrame() in CameraManager tutorial. It returns NImage, which can be used to show in your picturebox.

by **nohopeliao** » Jul 14, 2009 08:28

Hi,

So how do i use NImage to allow it to show at my picturebox?

by **Martynas** » Jul 15, 2009 13:01

i.e.

Code: Select all: NImage testImg = camera.GetCurrentFrame(); pictureBox.Image = testImg.ToBitmap();

by **nohopeliao** » Jul 16, 2009 03:08

Hi

i manage to allow my picturebox to display a still image. However, i want it to have a video streaming before i capture my image. So how am i be able to do that?

by **Martynas** » Jul 16, 2009 07:01

Hello,

you should pass captured frames to picturebox constantly. You can use i.e. System.Windows.Form.Timer Tick event to grab a frame and to pass it to picture box.

Wrappers are used when it is need to adapt one API to another one. Neurotechnology SDK dlls are written in C language and to be able to use functions from it you need to wrap them. i.e. NImages.dll provides a functionalities to work with images. To be able to use these functionalities in C# you need to use a wrapper Neurotec.NImages.dll. For this you need to add a reference to this dll in C# project.

Grab frames on each Tick event and pass it to picturebox.

Hi,

Why is there these error: "Access to path 'D:\' denied" when i use this code: "String[] Filenames = File.ReadAllLines(@"D:\");" from the Learning console application? How can i solve it?

by **Martynas** » Jul 20, 2009 07:21

Hi,

actually, this question is not related to Neurotechnology SDKs. Please, take a look to msdn.com to see that FileReadAllLines is for reading all the lines of the file, but not the directory.

by **nohopeliao** » Jul 20, 2009 07:44

Hi,

i have an enquire. Why my program will prom me this error: "One of Neurotec modules is not registered.Code:-200" after i executed this code: "SentiSightEngine se = new SentiSightEngine();".Lastly how do i solve it?
Thank you =)

by **Martynas** » Jul 20, 2009 07:57

Hello,

error -200 means that SDK components are not registered. Please use Activation Wizard and generate diagnostic info. Send this info to support@neurotechnology.com.

by **nohopeliao** » Jul 20, 2009 09:14

Hi,

i had activate the activatewizard and it run smoothly. but while it continue running, this error came out:"Win32 error in one of Neurotec modules.Code:-91". How do i solve it?

by **Martynas** » Jul 20, 2009 09:20

error -91 is related to non accesible file. Check if you pass a right file path to Neurotechnology function. By the way, which function throws this exception?

by **nohopeliao** » Jul 20, 2009 09:40

Hi,

I am sorry but where do i check if i pass the right file path to neurotechnology function? And the function that throws this exception is "Image = NImage.FromFile(baseDirectory + Filenames[i]);"

by **Martynas** » Jul 20, 2009 10:22

Check if the path "baseDirectory + Filenames[i]" is existing when you receive this error.

by **nohopeliao** » Jul 21, 2009 02:25

Hi,

i tried to made changes and it did not prompt me error:"Win32 error in one of Neurotec modules.Code:-91". However, it prompt me a new error after these function: "Image = NImage.FromFile(baseDirectory + Filenames[i]);" and the error is these:"Not supported functionality accessed in one of Neurotec modules.Code: -6". What does it mean and how to solve it?

Add the path to your SentiSight folder with dlls to PATH user environmental variable. Or just copy all dlls from SentiSght folder to the folder where your application resides.

Hi

how to grab frames from the Getcurrentframe() on each Tick event and pass it to picturebox in order to let the picturebox show the stream image before capturing. Pls guide me ..... Thanks

by **nohopeliao** » Jul 22, 2009 08:32

Hi,

I don't think i got wrong. Anyway this is my code:

Code: Select all: String[] Filenames = File.ReadAllLines(@"..\Pic\List\Wallet.seil"); String baseDirectory = @"..\..\Pic\Image\"; SentiSightEngine se = new SentiSightEngine(); uint[] refIds; SEModel mdl = se.CreateModel(); for (int i = 0; i < Filenames.Length; i += 2) { NImage Image, Temp; NImage[] Mask = new NImage[1]; Image = NImage.FromFile(baseDirectory + Filenames[i]); }

Because

Code: Select all: String[] Filenames = File.ReadAllLines(@"..\Pic\List\Wallet.seil");

is read a 'seil' file of the object and

Code: Select all: String baseDirectory = @"..\..\Pic\Image\";

read 'jpg' file of the same object and

Code: Select all: Image = NImage.FromFile(baseDirectory + Filenames[i]);

is to form them to 'Image'. Is my understanding correct? or am i wrong with my explantion?

Place a System.Windows.Forms.Timer component on your form. Rename it to 'timer'. Add the code below to your application.

Code: Select all: private void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { NImage image = camera.GetCurrentFrame(); picturebox.Image = image.ToBitmap(); }

Please be sure that you pass an image to NImage.FromFile. Check in debug mode what exact file it was, when the error -6 is rised. As this error is rised with NImage.FromFile only when not an image file is sent to it.

by **learningnewthings** » Jul 23, 2009 06:06

Thanks a lot for the reply and guide ..... I have another question is when i try to debug the Recognition tutorial, the debugging stop at the step

NVideoReader boxVideoReader = new NVideoReader(videoFileName);

and jump to the exception and return the exception error message

An error in one of the Neurotec modules. Code: -1

what is that error mean? Thanks

by **nohopeliao** » Jul 23, 2009 06:24

Hi,

i had checked my code and it seems that this code:

Code: Select all: String[] Filenames = File.ReadAllLines(@"..\Pic\List\Wallet.seil");

give out an value of "{string[64]}". I suspect that it is this code that cause the program to prompt me the "error code: -6" after executing this code:

Code: Select all: Image = NImage.FromFile(baseDirectory + Filenames[i]);

Is my code given out the correct value?
