Title: custom model from video
Post by: bobschm on November 17, 2018, 06:59:25 AM

Version 45.

Line is split and "Next" button is not accessible. Is this a bug or just my computer? (laptop Win10)

I've never used it but I just experimented and I didn't have a proper video so I got the red "Looks Wrong" text and I didn't have a next button and there was no visible split line at all so I'd assume you don't get the Next button when the Looks Wrong text is present.  You need to correct that problem first.

That video is never likely to work. The video needs to be mostly dark in order for the algorithm to find the lights. With so much ambient light it never sees the flash.

I rewatched your video and managed to get a good video by moving into the dark basement.

Not sure why the line of text was split like that.

Oh, and another interesting note. Using my new iPhone Xs, I got lots of mirror images of the lights that the algorithm had difficulty with (crappy lens design). I got a decent model by cropping as close as possible on all sides and fiddling a lot (even one digit at a time) with sensitivity and minimum distance settings.

Pretty impressive software, guys.
