AForge.NET: Making a step to stereo vision

[vrathulram]

How are you interfacing with the pc ?

[huya0002]

buddy your AForge.net is amazing

Hi Andrew, thanks for the response. Actually yes.i do have Logitech cams..usb..and i guess u are right..one of them is not working properly...so how do we solve this?

[andrewkirillov]

@gold752001 Not really sure how to solve this issue. Maybe get another drive ... Just to clarify. When I say that I was able to display up to 25 camera, I need also to add that these were IP cameras of different manufacturers. Not all USB. Yes, some could be USB, but not ALL.

[gold752001]

Its good. But currently I am trying to connect 6 vids and getting only 5. I wonder what wrong I am doing. I am using all different 6 players and all different 6 video sources etc and applying all start methods, seperate in each thread with a pause of 2 seconds between 2 cameras start. Still the problem persists

[andrewkirillov]

@gold752001 Well, some time ago I was able to get up to 25 camera running. What are your cameras? IP or USB web cams? If you have 2 USB camera of the same model, they may not work simultaneously together (like many Logitechs) - most probably something wrong with their drivers.

Anyway, you are welcome to debug since you have all the sources.

@andrewkirillov

Hi Andrew thanks for the response . Yes I got Logitech QuickCam E350, 3 Microsoft LifeCam Cinemas & 2 VGA USB Cameras. And the output is random..That is any one of these 6 wont work.Its not sure which one. I am running these in 6 different threads.

oh ok! thanks! :) sorry, i hadnt noticed that code when i downloaded AForge earlier ;$

[FaizanKazi]

hi!! any chance you might be sharing the code? i am really impressed! i would like to implement the same model and play with it to follow objects around using wheels..

[andrewkirillov]

@FaizanKazi

the code is open. see aforgetnet website, which is mentioned in the video

[SSBMFAITE]

Haha nice work.

Im laughing because im imagining a face on it, and it seems like its freaking out.

[diabelliforlife]

nice nice nice....

[yusofhardy]

Awesome!

I'm impressed with your work. I have used Aforge for several project including welding gap measuring, shooting simulator, drum simulator, playing card suit identification and more.

I think you should write a list of cameras that support a dual config (3D).

[andrewkirillov]

Well, writing a list of cameras supporting dual configuration would not be a problem, if there would be some support/partnership. It is hard to collect different possible USB cameras from different manufacturers and test them all.

[ecke1010]

I understand.. but if you put a list up maybe people would contribute to it.

[andrewkirillov]

But, we may try another road. The 2.0 version of AForge NET Framework is going to provide a small sample application, which tests dual cameras setup. So what we can do is to make a survey of AForge NET framework users (those who have 2 cameras of the same model), asking them if the sample application works fine on their side. If they provide their feedback, we may get the list.

[ecke1010]

Sounds great. I bought two of Logitechs cheapest a few months ago but those didn't work (as you wrote earlier). Think I should try another brand cause I really wanna try 3D. :)

[andrewkirillov]

In the article there is a picture with a tooltip, which says Acme cameras. This is not some sort well known brand, but quite inexpensive camera from regular shop. Just did want to try something more expensive, because I heard problems with two Logitech cameras working together ...

[BinaryReader]

hi, can you recommend good documentation on Aforge?

[andrewkirillov]

Did you try visiting AForgeNET website? There you may find documentation, samples download, forums to discuss.

[BinaryReader]

Yeah, found the website. Thanks for the reply.

I'm not that experienced in AI programming, however, i did check out the source code. i imagine i will need to learn some of the terminology before using some of these objects. The difference between a MoravecCornersDetector and a SusanCornersDetector? I need to read up.

Im quite interested in the GA namespaces, but i have a feeling the imaging namespaces would serve more practical application.

Oh, your the owner of the project too, kudos :)

[2hlix]

I'm curious, what are the cameras you used? Your writeup (great btw) didn't mention that, I only know they not Logitechs.
