Smart face tracking utility
On initial installation, there was the face tracking utility. After I downloaded the updates, from the Creative Labs web site, smart face tracking was gone. Is it possible to install the face tracking utility only, from the installation CD?
Finally figured it out. In case anyone else has the same problem of your computer ignoring changes in the Face Tracking Utility screen, try this:
Go to Webcam Center. Click on "Capture" then the "Source" tab, one of two discrete grey tabs just above the video screen.
Under "Extended Settings" you have the options for face tracking: off, continuous or smart. Click it and your computer should actually hold onto this setting until you change it again!
Good luck.

Can't turn off face tracking on Live! Ultra for Notebooks
Please help! I've installed Live! Ultra for Notebooks and it works reasonably well, except for the fact that I can't turn off the Face Tracking feature.
When I installed everything, I selected "Smart", but I hate the way that the camera keeps panning off to different parts of the room. So, I just want to turn this feature OFF.
But every time I open the Face Tracking Utility, or go to the screen via "Tools," I can click "off". But, it doesn't actually turn off; the camera still keeps panning off to the far corners of the room. And the next time I access the Face Tracking Utility again, it has defaulted back to "Smart". Any suggestions on how to disable this feature?
My system is as follows:
Dell Inspiron 700M
Intel Pentium M 2.00 GHz processor
Windows XP Home Edition, service pack 2
Happy new year & thanks in advance..Finally figured it out. In case anyone else has the same problem of your computer ignoring changes in the Face Tracking Utility screen, try this:

I tried to turn off the face tracking under Face Tracking Options (there are three options, off, continous and smart). I clicked "off" each time, but it did work. The setting automatically returns to either "continous" or "smart". Can anyone help?
There appears to be a bug in the software that won't let you turn it off. It will only allow you to switch to continous or smart. So, I did some poking around and to turn it off you'll need to edit your registry*
Open Regedit and navigate to the following key.
I've only done this on one PC so the VF0070 name may be different.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Creative Tech\Web Cameras\VF0070
In this folder you will find a key named: FaceTrackingMode
0 = off
1 = Continous
2 = smart
You will need to stop and restart WebCam Center in order for the change to take effect.
*I nor Creative Labs is responsible if you do any damage to or in any way screw up your computer. If you are not comfortable with editing the registry then don't do it. -
How to control Get3DShape() in Microsoft Kinect face tracking SDK?
I'm working on a lip-reading project and I'm using Microsoft Kinect face tracking SDK in order to extract lip features in a generated text file from C# to be processed in MATLAB. The features are 29 angles resulting after calculating the distances between
the 18 feature points related to the lips using Get3DShape() function to get the co-ordinates in each frame and my code looks like that which I added in facetrackingviewer.cs:
public void getangles(FaceTrackFrame fr)
var shape = fr.Get3DShape();
var X_7 = shape[FeaturePoint.MiddleTopDipUpperLip].X;
var Y_7 = shape[FeaturePoint.MiddleTopDipUpperLip].Y;

Where CalculateAngleB is a declared function above:
public double CalcAngleB(double a, double b, double c)
return Math.Acos((a * a + c * c - b * b) / (2 * a * c));
and I call getangles(fr) at :
internal void OnFrameReady(KinectSensor kinectSensor, ColorImageFormat colorImageFormat, byte[] colorImage, DepthImageFormat depthImageFormat, short[] depthImage, Skeleton skeletonOfInterest)
this.skeletonTrackingState = skeletonOfInterest.TrackingState;
if (this.skeletonTrackingState != SkeletonTrackingState.Tracked)
// nothing to do with an untracked skeleton.
return;
if (this.faceTracker == null)
try
this.faceTracker = new FaceTracker(kinectSensor);
catch (InvalidOperationException)
// During some shutdown scenarios the FaceTracker
// is unable to be instantiated. Catch that exception
// and don't track a face.
Debug.WriteLine("AllFramesReady - creating a new FaceTracker threw an InvalidOperationException");
this.faceTracker = null;
if (this.faceTracker != null)
FaceTrackFrame frame = this.faceTracker.Track(
colorImageFormat, colorImage, depthImageFormat, depthImage, skeletonOfInterest);
getangles(frame);
this.lastFaceTrackSucceeded = frame.TrackSuccessful;
if (this.lastFaceTrackSucceeded)
if (faceTriangles == null)
// only need to get this once. It doesn't change.
faceTriangles = frame.GetTriangles();
//MessageBox.Show("face has been detected");
this.facePoints = frame.GetProjected3DShape();
//this.FaceRect = new System.Windows.Rect(frame.FaceRect.Left, frame.FaceRect.Top, frame.FaceRect.Width, frame.FaceRect.Height);
Now, whenever the mask appears as if (this.facetracker!=null), the code starts to calculate the angles and generate the text file. My question is how can I add a control (e.g.Timer or button) to decide exactly when to start calculating features or generating
the file because in data collection I need features to be recorded accurately when the speaker starts to pronounce phrases not when the mask appears. I have tried to add a dispatcherTimer as when the timer counts after the mask appears it starts to calculate
the angles like this:
private static void dispatcherTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
Microsoft.Kinect.Toolkit.FaceTracking.FaceTrackFrame fr;
fr = facetracker.Track(sensor.ColorStream.Format, colorPixelData,
sensor.DepthStream.Format, depthPixelData,skeleton);
//getangles(fr) and stream writter
and added this to getangles(fr)
System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer dispatcherTimer = new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
dispatcherTimer.Tick += dispatcherTimer_Tick;
dispatcherTimer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10);
dispatcherTimer.Start();
but this gives an error in: var shape = frame.Get3DShape(); as using unassigned variable frame and I tried to declare facetracker in timer's void but this gives me an error too so, if you have an I idea how can I add a timer or a button to control when the
angles to be calculated I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance.Hi Mesbah15,
I am not sure if I’ve understood the question correctly. You can try using event to communicate with other classes. Define an event, when mask appears you just need call that event handler.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/17sde2xt(v=VS.100).aspx.
Please post more information about your scenario for better understanding if event handler not help.

CiscoWorks User Tracking Utility
Does Cisco have any plans to incorporate the CiscoWorks User Tracking Utility into LMS Prime 4.2 or any newer version of LMS? This tool is very useful in identifing where a computer or device is located on a switch. I know SolarWinds just came out with their own version of the User Tracking utility, and I am wondering if Cisco is going to continue on with theirs.
I'm pretty sure the user tracking functionailty will be ported to NCS, the final Prime Infrastructure. We will see next year in version 2 what it looks like.
When that happens a client for on your PC will soon be developed as well.
I'm just wondering how cisco is establishing what features are to be ported into the final Prime Infrastructure.
I mean, their marketing people are probably the best in the industry, and know exactly what they can sell out there.
But I don't think they have a clue what is esential to manage a larger, bussines critical network, and what is nice to have.
Cheers,

Disabling face tracking on webcam - S405
Does anyone know how to disable or turn off the face tracking feature (on the webcam) on the S405? I see it uses quite a bit of CPU resources. The only way I can turn it off is by killing it in the task manager. Then it comes back after a reboot. I want to permanently disable it. Called Lenovo, they were no help at all.
Maybe you can try uninstall and reinstall the software.

The face tracking on my W530 seemed to be a bit slower than the video showing off the T530's Face tracking.
They should have the same camera correct?
Also, When I have the "Virtual Camera Driver," installed, the facetracking is fine, but the camera is stuck at 640x480. When that driver is removed, the camera can be set to 1280x720, but The facetracking and desktop sharing features are lost. Is this a bug or intentional?
I don't really care about face tracking, but it's a neat feature.

What it does is when the nVidia Card is off, the integrated card drives the display and any applications running that don't use the card. When the nVidia card is triggered by an application, and you aren't using an external monitor, the Panel is still driven by the Intel integrated card, but the video output(i.e what is being displayed), is pumped from the nVidia card through the intel card. so either way, the intel card drives the display output for the internal LCD. The Video ouput ports however(aside from VGA, although on mine that goes through nvidia too), are run by the nVidia Discrete graphics.

Is it possible to do face-tracking in FLV webcam
conferensing?
So I can add objects to faces and stuff.If you use a tool like Process Montior, you can determine which folders it is looking for the database file(typically in the folder of the .exe, but can be other system folders based on Windows functionality of LoadLibrary() api).
Carmine Sirignano - MSFT -
The face tracking library uses a number of resource files that account for 43mb ... is there a way to tell the library to load these files fron a different location other than the default, or hook the file loader so the files can be stored in a single, larger
WAD file and retrieved upon request?
Thanks in advance

Not possible to edit "Smart drums" tracks
I have not been able to find out how to edit "Smart Drums" tracks. I am not even sure that it is possible. As far as I know all the other "Smart" instruments are editable so it is a mystery why the drums are not.
If anyone knows how to do it please let me know. Otherwise I would suggest that Apple add this functionality in an update.
ambdesignHi Bernd,
I am assuming this is the same UWLJWF system as the one in the other thread? Could you also copy and paste your component information here - and I can test this then internally?

Hi,
Does the tracking software only track a person's face? Can it track a person walking to and fro (as in the case of a lecturer giving a lecture)? Thanks.
CScheese2006,
The Face Tracking feature looks for skin tones and the shape of a head on a torso, it MAY work for a walking lecturer, but would probably end up watching somebody sitting in front of it. It does not watch motion in general which would be better for what you are describing.

Internal hard drive/repair: SMART status; Disk Utility, Tech Tool & More
machine: 12" PowerBook 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4 (Aluminium) with 80GB internal HD
internal hard drive (original): Hitachi Travelstar 5K100 series HTS541080G9AT00
hard drive firmware: MB4AA5AJ
ATA version: 6
ATA standard: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13 1410D revision 3a
I have monitored the SMART status etc. of my internal drive with smartmontools for some time. Occasionally, I would see an error or a failed self-test but later testing always succeeded and things did not seem to be problematic.
At the beginning of this week, I started to see a lot of failed self-tests (though some still passed), a rising number of bad ("pending") sectors and reallocation attempts (though no reallocated sectors) and various other errors. The computer seemed to have trouble reading from the disk at times and Carbon Copy Cloner reported two I/O errors when cloning (a later clone succeeded). fsck showed errors although running fsck -fy repeatedly seemed to resolve them.
The Apple hardware tests initially reported an error (2STF/8/3:ATA-100 ata-6-Master) but I hadn't realised I should disconnect peripherals before running it so I did that and repeated the test which found no issues. I ran the extended test a total of three times with no errors.
As I continued to have problems, I booted from my clone and had Disk Utility wipe the drive by writing zeros to it. (I thought trying to get it to write everywhere would either finish the drive off or force it to reallocate the bad blocks. As I understand it, in normal use, the drive won't reallocate the blocks unless it can recover the data in the hopes of reading it at a later time.)
I then continued monitoring the disk using smartmontools. At this point, short self-tests succeed but extended self-tests "disappear". They don't fail, they simply vanish. They begin and smartctl shows the test in progress but then no error or result is logged - it is as if the test was never run. The first time I did this, I got an error saying the SMART attributes could not be read but subsequent tests do not trigger even an error. Short self-tests continue to pass.
There are now (according to SMART) zero bad ("pending") sectors but zero reallocated sectors, which seems odd. The raw read error rate fluctuates (zero one minute, many thousands a while later) although I am not sure it did not do this before.
Disk Utility claims the disk does not support SMART status even though smartctl clearly shows it does. Disk Utility claims the volume is "OK".
I ran Tech Tool Deluxe 3.04 from CD and 3.1.1 from my clone. In both cases, I ran all available tests on the drive. No problems were found.
I am seeing some problems even while booted from my clone - yesterday, the system froze completely and I had to force a shut-down by switching off the power (fsck then found a minor error but repaired it). Just before this happened, I was unable to mount a disk image and was trying to rectify the situation when the system froze. It is possible that the errors fsck corrected were implicated in the freeze, rather than caused by it, since Disk Utility found and repaired similar errors for the other two clones I have (on different partitions of my external drive - yes, I know this is sub-optimal).
Here is some current output from smartmontools:

Warning! SMART Selective Self-Test Log Structure error: invalid SMART checksum.
SMART Selective self-test log data structure revision number 1
SPAN MIN_LBA MAX_LBA CURRENTTESTSTATUS
1 0 0 Not_testing
2 0 0 Not_testing
3 0 0 Not_testing
4 0 0 Not_testing
5 0 0 Not_testing
Selective self-test flags (0x0):
After scanning selected spans, do NOT read-scan remainder of disk.
If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay.
---end output---
Self-tests 1-8 were all run after I erased the disk. The others were run before I did so. Not listed are the extended self-tests I've started since erasing which, as I say, have simply disappeared.
The checksum error regarding the log is normal for this disk. At least, I've got that error ever since I started using smartmontools for monitoring so I assume it is normal. (I installed this version of the software in about April 2008 and have used it since.) Also, starting offline testing has never succeeded on this disk (I think I checked into this at the time but can't quite remember - this is not new, anyway).
Questions
how should I interpret all this? (Why does Disk Utility say SMART is not supported while smartctl clearly shows it is at the same time? Why do the extended tests simply vanish? Is the drive definitely dying?) I do not want to replace the disk unless I absolutely have to because I understand that replacing disks in 12" PBs is no small matter and cost is an issue. I do not want to replace the machine unless I have to because cost is an issue and, also, I really like this computer and have no idea what I would want in its place, even if expense were no obstacle.
if it isn't clear whether the drive is dying or not, is there some further strategy I can use to establish this?
if the drive is dying, is a machine of this age worth repairing and, if it is, under what circumstances is it worth doing so? For example, it might be worth doing if you can do the job yourself, but that might be quite impractical for non-expert (not to mention, inexpert) users.
if there is a hardware problem (which I obviously think is very, very probable at this point), is it definitely a dying hard drive? (I've seen people write ominous things about disk controllers etc. which I gather are more serious - or less repairable - than a "mere" dying disk.)
what questions should I be asking you and what are the answers to those questions?!
Many thanks for your patience in reading this far.
- cfrThe 12" PB internals are a bit more complex, for PB's. If you don't want to replace the hard drive yourself or pay someone to install it, you could always get an external firewire hard drive, and use it to boot from and for general usage. Would have to be firewire, since the PB won't book from a USB device. One example of what you could get is a 160GB external hard drive: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MS4U5160GB8/ . All the choices with that case are listed here: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/on-the-go
Have you called any Apple Authorized Service Providers to see what they would charge to install a drive for you? Whether you bought it or they supplied it? You can find a local one in the US at http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ -

Gagandeep sharmaDear sir,
Is there any Algo study to work on images like what i had seen in this link sruti had used a diffrent algo to perform the study but some persons do it without colour extraction. What is the diffrence, and minimum how much MP and frame rate camera will you suggest for tracking live image face.
Thanks,

I returned my damaged phone via instructions from AT&T, with a prepaid label on Tuesday, April 21, 2015. I took the package to a US Post Office in my city. I have been checking the tracking at: www.tracking.smartlabel.com per my instructions. However, there is no information about my returned package, I received a text message reminder from AT&T to return my damaged device. Not sure what is going on with the Smart Label System, but I returned this device a week ago. Not sure what to do at this point! I WILL NOT be paying for a phone I already returned!!! Has anyone else experienced this same issues? If yes, how did you resolve your issue?
