Updated OpenCV and others #7

Closed keithjjones closed 8 years ago

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

Updated to OpenCV 3.1. Added a library dependency that was missing. Updated .gitignore file. Updated wxWidgets.

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

Note that at this point everything works as expected. The executable runs fine inside the CodeBlocks debugger. However, starting the executable outside of the debugger on Win10 causes an initialization error. Any ideas @andybarry?

I am looking into it, but my wxWidgets experience may not be as deep as yours.

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

The error I am experiencing is "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application. However, it runs perfectly fine if I start it in CodeBlocks debugger.

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

It appears as if I got the bug to disappear. There was an issue with something to do with mixed 64-bit and 32-bit code. I'm working on further testing.

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

Now it appears as if OpenCV can't connect to the camera. I am at a loss as to why. Every other application I've tried can see it. I even tested OpenCV through Python and it can't see the camera.

andybarry commented 8 years ago

For a while you had to install separate drivers for the PS3 eye in Windows, but if other things can access it you should be OK. Do you get an error messages when attempting to connect?

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

No. OpenCV can't see it at all. Even from Python. I think the drivers are only supported with 32bit, which is a shame. The world is much more 64-bit now. I am trying the 32-bit version of everything, but it is requiring me to install 32-bit everything which is taking a bit because I do zero 32-bit development.

Windows 10 seems to detect it automatically, and I'm testing that version of the driver too.

andybarry commented 8 years ago

Ugg, 32 bit. Let me know if I can help debug further.

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

Your toolchain was 32 bit when you created this, right? I have everything running in 64 bit, but it won't detect the camera.

I can't even get the camera to detect using something like Skype on the same computer. The Camera will work with the CL driver test app though. Weird.

andybarry commented 8 years ago

Yes, the original code is from 2010, so definitely 32-bit in Windows. 64-bit in linux though. We should still be able to compile it in 32bit mode, yes?

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

Yes, I got everything compiling in 64-bit with very few changes. It's just not seeing the camera now.

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

PS - I would say hold off on this pull request. When(if) I get this working the way we want it to, I will clean up my commit history and make a much nicer one for you. I'll leave this one on until I get a new one, then I'll manually close this one. I like to be tidier with my commits than this turned out to be. You learn something new every day.

andybarry commented 8 years ago

OK sounds good.

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

@andybarry While I have you here.... I'm 99% sure I have everything working fine in 64-bit on Windows. The only hold back is the Eye camera drivers. We may be able to side step a lot of pain with another camera, perhaps with higher resolution. Do you know of any other cameras you recommend we could use in its place? I don't mind making it work if you know of a good relatively inexpensive camera for the task. Also, how did you calculate the FOV angles for the Eye? Did you find a spec sheet? Or did you measure them?

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

For example, PS Eye doesn't work with Skype 64-bit. So I am pretty sure it is the camera. It works with 32-bit apps somewhat, but it may be a bit dated.

andybarry commented 8 years ago

I measured them. The biggest trouble with switching cameras would be that we'd need a new mount for it on the 3D printer side. Maybe we can patch in updated drivers? Do you happen to know if that driver is open source?

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

No, you had to buy the drivers. And they are pretty old. We may be able to ask them, but I don't know how that will go over. Most of their postings and everything on their site says 2010-2013.

I don't mind making a new mount if we find a different camera. I'm pretty handy in CAD. I like Fusion360. It's free and powerful.

How did you measure the values?

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

@ryanshuck is working on looking for code for the PS Eye we can make 64 bit. I'm adding him to this thread.

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

@andybarry @ryanshuck I verified that PSEYE works through VMWare 11 with Linux as the guest, and Windows as the host, with the CL drivers on Windows. I'm using Windows 10. Maker scanner works perfectly.

keithjjones commented 8 years ago

I'm going to start over on this effort. I have a couple of good ideas that I think will work. Stay tuned.
