I have issue using OpenCV 3 tracking module for tracking. It behaves same, either I use interface class (cv::Tracker) or class with implementation (like cv::TrackerMedianFlow or cv::TrackerMIL, etc). Sample is a bit modified sample from OpenCV sample folder
After correct creation
Ptr<Tracker> tracker = Tracker::create( tracker_algorithm );
if ( tracker == NULL )
{
std::cout << "***Error in the instantiation of the tracker...***\n";
return -1;
}
initialization works just fine
if ( !tracker->init( frame, boundingBox ) )
{
std::cout << "***Could not initialize tracker...***\n";
return -1;
}
Problem occurs late on, withing main loop, when tracking is lost. I use separate detector for defining new target. When I find new target, I clear tracker and initialize it with new value
tracker->clear( );
if ( !tracker->init( frame, detectedNewBBox) )
{
std::cout << "***Could not initialize tracker without history...***\n";
return -1;
}
However, initialization always returns false. I am trying to find out WHY tracker cannot be initialized?
Data was check few time, and looks pretty correct. I even conducted small experiment, trying to initialize tracker right after creation with same data it won't initialize withing loop and it works perfect.
Am I doing something wrong? I was unable to find any documentation on this...
Here is link to available documentation on this:
OpenCV 3 Tracker documentation
Thanks for any effort!
I just ran into the same problem, here's how I got it to work :
tracker->clear();
Ptr<Tracker> trackerNew = Tracker::create( tracker_algorithm );
tracker = trackerNew;
tracker->init( image, boundingBox );
Might not be the right way or the prettiest but it does the job :)
If you want to track a new ROI (region of interest) then I suggest that you should create a new tracker instead of clearing and trying to reuse a previous tracker. Re-use when you need to call init will provide no extra benefit. As you have observed, re-initializing a tracker is not allowed by default.
But if you want to resume tracking of the same object with your correction, it might be possible by doing following steps (I have not tried it myself yet. following code is just a pseudo code)
Ptr<TrackerModel> model = tracker->getModel();
Ptr<TrackerTargetState> lastTargetstate = getLastTargetState();
// Make changes to lastTargetState (update position etc)
// Set lastTargetState, I am not sure if you need to actually set it
// or just editing the object through pointer should work.
model->setLastTargetState(lastTargetstate);
I ran into the same problem and here's my solution:
Open the file in opencv_contrib/modules/tracking/src/tracker.cpp and apply the following changes:
- if( isInit )
+ /*if( isInit )
{
return false;
}
+ */
I recompiled opencv3 and reinstalled it. That fixed it for me. I think they did not want people to reinitialize the tracker for some reason. I am not sure why?

There is a big project consisting of several components, presented in the form of dll. In one component I use QLibrary, for a call of a code from. Previously, everything worked well, the dll was loaded and everything worked correctly, however, after making a change to the dll code and recompiling it, on one of the launches, when I call the load method, the program just hangs.
I tried to clean the entire project and rebuild it from scratch, but when I call the boot method, the execution constantly stops. It does not give any errors. isLibrary, called before the load, confirms that the library is selected correctly.
void libLoad( QLibrary &lib, const QString &fileName ) {
lib.setFileName( fileName + dllVersionString );
auto name = lib.fileName( ); //just to make sure the name is correct
auto isLibrary = lib.isLibrary( fileName + dllVersionString ); //just to make sure dll is found
if ((lib).load( )) { //work stops here
qDebug( ) << QString( "library " + lib.fileName( ) + " loaded" );
} else {
throw QString( QString::fromLocal8Bit( "Failed to load library " ) + lib.fileName( ));
}
}
The problem arises only with debug. I use Qt Creator, with msvc.
The problem was at the breakpoints. I did not understand how they affected the work of the project, but after eliminating all breakpoints and restructuring the component from scratch, the problem went away.
I would be grateful if someone explains the reason for this behavior.
I am currently coding a plugin for ILIAS. The plugin itself is not at all complex but it contains several issues whereas I think we could make it simpler as it is.
The situation is following: We have a global advanced meta data field added in the user defined meta data section with a bijective identifier. The field is activated at a repository objected named course. We have manipulated the GUI with the plugin based on ilUIHookPluginGUI.
The code for this is ... well ... see it for yourself.
First of all we save the ID of the new meta data field in the settings at the ConfigGUI for the plugin:
$field_settings = new ilSetting("foo");
$field_id_value = $field_settings->set("field_id",$_POST["field_id"]);
In our class which extends ilUIHookPluginGUI we are loading the setting as following and we have the ID of the field:
$field_settings = new ilSetting("foo");
$field_id_value = $field_settings->get("field_id");
Now the fun part. With this ID and the ref_id of the object (well, we also load the object to get the ObjId) we can load the value of the meta data field setted at the course:
$object = \ilObjectFactory::getInstanceByRefId($_GET[ 'ref_id' ]);
$obj_id = $object->getId();
$result = $DIC->database()->query("SELECT value FROM adv_md_values_text WHERE obj_id = '".$obj_id."' AND field_id = '".$field_id_value."'");
$value = $DIC->database()->fetchAssoc($result);
$is_active = $value['value'];
The question is ... is there an easier way to achieve my result?
Best,
Laura
Nice question. First of all, note that I consider the advanced metadata service in ILIAS to be lacking a good readme making clear, which hooks the interface is offering for tasks such as yours. Some time ago, I had to deal with this service as well and run into similar issues. Hopefully, your question helps to document this a little better an I myself am looking forward to other suggestions, knowing that mine is not really good as well. If you have any resources, helping pushing the introduction of good readme for services and also pushing services towards using the repository pattern with a clear interface would be highly appreciated.
Concering your question of what can be improved: I see three main issues in the lines of code:
Storing an ID in the config of your plugin. Your plugin will unconfigurable for non-technical people. However, also for you this will be error prone, think about exporting-importing stuff from a test-installation to production.
Access the value by query instead of the service.
Using new and static functions inside your code making it untestable.
Step 1
Lets start with the first one. Note, that I did not manage to solve this one without introducing a new one (a new query). Bad I know. I hope that there is a better solution, I did not find one after quick research. You store the id, since the field title is not securely unique, right? This is correct, however, you could think about storing the tripplet of field_title, record_title and (maybe) scope. Note that you maybe do not need the scope since you want to use this globally. A function return you and array containing field_id and record_id could look like so:
function getFieldAndRecordIdByFieldTitles($field_title, $record_title, $scope_title){
$query = "select field.field_id,field.record_id from adv_mdf_definition as field
INNER JOIN adv_md_record as record ON record.record_id = field.record_id
INNER JOIN adv_md_record_scope as scope ON scope.record_id = field.record_id
INNER JOIN object_reference as ref ON scope.ref_id = ref.ref_id
INNER JOIN object_data as scope_data ON ref.obj_id = scope_data.obj_id
WHERE field.title='$field_title' AND record.title='$record_title' AND scope_data.title = '$scope_title'";
$set = $this->dic()->database()->query($query);
if($row = $this->dic()->database()->fetchAssoc($set))
{
return array_values($row);
}
}
Then get your values like so:
list($field_id,$record_id) = getFieldAndRecordIdByFieldTitles("my_field", "my_record", "my_scope");
Note that I am aware that I am introducing a new query here. Sorry, was the best I could come up with. I am sure there you find a better solution, if your research a bit, let us know if successful. However, we will remove one in the next step.
Step 2
Use the undocumented service, the get your value out of the advance meta data. Since you now have the record id and the field id, you can to that like so:
$record_values = new ilAdvancedMDValues($record_id, $obj_id);
$record_values->read();
$ADTGroup = $ilAdvancedMDValues->getADTGroup();
$ADT = $ilADTGroup->getElement($field_id);
$value = $ADT->getText();
/**if you have text, others are possible, such as:
switch (true) {
case ($ADT instanceof ilADTText):
break;
case ($ADT instanceof ilADTDate):
$value = $ADT->getDate();
break;
case ($ADT instanceof ilADTExternalLink):
$... = $ADT->getUrl();
$... = $ADT->getTitle();
break;
case ($ADT instanceof ilADTInternalLink):
$... = $ADT->setTargetRefId($value);
}
**/
Note that ADT's are also undocumented. There might be a better way, to get a value out of this.
Step 3
Wrap your statics and new into some injectable dependency. I usually use the bloated constructor pattern to do this. Looks like so:
public function __construct(InjectedSettings $mySettings = null)
{
if (!$mySettings) //Case in the default scenario
{
$this->mySettings = new InjectedSettings();
} else //used e.g. for unit tests, where you can stuff the constructor with a mock
{
$this->mySettings = $mySettings;
}
$this->mySettings->doSometing();
}
Note that this is not real dep. injection, still you still use new, but I think a very workable fix to use dep. injection at least for the test context in ilias.
Does this help? I hope there will be other (better answers as well).
TLDR
I like to really focus on keeping business logic away from the view model / controller. I find this sometimes rather hard in Meteor. Maybe I'm missing the point but I am after one of two things really:
1) A really good document explaining at a really low level how reactive values are being used.
2) A package that somehow manages an object so that if any of the setters are altered, they notify all of the get functions that would change as a result.
Unfortunately I've not seen either.
My Example
I have a fair bit ob business logic sitting behind a dialog used to document a consultation. I might have an event that sets a change of state.
I'd like to do something like this in the event:
const cc = new ConsultationEditor();
cc.setChiefComplaint(event.target.value);
console.log(cc.data());
ConsultationDict.set("consEdit", cc.data() );
When the user has updated this value, I'd then like to show a number of fields, based on the change. For this I have a helper with the following:
fields: function(){
console.log("trying to get fields");
const obj = ConsultationDict.get('consEdit');
cc = new ConsultationEditor(obj);
return cc.getFields();
}
But unfortunately this does not work for me.
What is your ConsultationDict?
The way you describe it, you want it to be a ReactiveDict as in the official ReactiveDict package.
https://atmospherejs.com/meteor/reactive-dict
Check this tutorial for examples:
https://themeteorchef.com/snippets/reactive-dict-reactive-vars-and-session-variables/
If you really need more fine tuning in your reactivity, you can also set a dependency tracker tracker = new Tracker.Dependency, and then refer to it wherever you change a variable with tracker.changed() and where the data needs to be notified with tracker.depend() like this:
var favoriteFood = "apples";
var favoriteFoodDep = new Tracker.Dependency;
var getFavoriteFood = function () {
favoriteFoodDep.depend();
return favoriteFood;
};
var setFavoriteFood = function (newValue) {
favoriteFood = newValue;
favoriteFoodDep.changed();
};
getFavoriteFood();
See the full Tracker doc here:
https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Tracker-Manual
I also found this gist to be useful to build reactive objects:
https://gist.github.com/richsilv/7d66269aab3552449a4c
and for a ViewModel type of behavior, check out

I hope this helps.
We need to be able to handle a "playable" (play/pause/seek) effect in which the nature of the effect cannot be determined at compile time.
The problem we are running into is resetting the target(s) state after the effect has completed. If we manually drag the seek slider back to the beginning, everything works fine. However, if we set the playheadTime of the composite effect back to 0, the effected targets retain their original value until the playheadTime gets to the correct position to effect the target.
Here is a simplified (as much as I could) test case with view source enabled:
http://www.openbaseinteractive.com/_tmp/PlayableEffectTest/
The problem is demonstrated if you let it play to the end, and then hit the play button to start it over.
What is the best way to go about manually resetting the target values given that the exact nature of the effect is unknown?
Many thanks for your time!
edit
I forgot to mention we are using Flex 4.5 preview release.
Have you tried:
effect.reverse()
More info

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/mx/effects/IEffect.html#reverse()
Well it's a little kludgy, but I was able to accomplish this by calling some internal methods on the effect to capture the start values, then assigned those values to the targets on a reset.
import mx.core.mx_internal;
use namespace mx_internal;
private var _propertyChangesArray:Array;
protected function captureStartValues(effect:Object):void
{
effect.captureStartValues();
_propertyChangesArray = effect.propertyChangesArray;
}
protected function reset(effect:Object):void
{
for each(var change:PropertyChanges in _propertyChangesArray)
{
var target:Object = change.target;
for(var p:String in change.start)
{
if(target.hasOwnProperty(p))
{
var startVal:* = change.start[p];
var endVal:* = target[p];
if(!isNaN(startVal) && startVal != endVal)
{
target[p] = startVal;
}
}
}
}
effect.playheadTime = 0;
}
I don't know if this is the best way to accomplish this, but it seems to be working so far. I am absolutely open to suggestions for a better method.
Cheers!
Whenever I debug my AIR app it keeps suspending at a certain line of code...it doesn't give me a reason why, it just says Main Thread (Suspended) No error, no breakpoint at this location either. If I comment out the code so that, that line does not execute, it just does the same thing on a different line of code.
I have no clue why.... What should I do?
Thanks!!
Here is the function it happens in:
public function update (): void
{
dispatchEvent ( new Event ( EVENT_UPDATE_DOWNLOAD_STARTED ) );
var request: URLRequest = new URLRequest ( _newVersionUrl );
urlStream = new URLStream();
updateFileData = new ByteArray();
urlStream.addEventListener ( Event.COMPLETE, streamDownloadComplete );
urlStream.addEventListener ( ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, streamDownloadProgress );
urlStream.addEventListener ( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, versionCheckIOErrorHandler );
urlStream.load(request);
}
this is the line it suspends on:
updateFileData = new ByteArray();
updateFileData is defined outside the function like so:
protected var updateFileData: ByteArray;
I should mention...this code is the code that Updates the version of air..could this be suspending because its trying to update while in adl.exe?
Thanks
Are you using FlexBuilder?
If you are, have you made sure there isn't a breakpoint set somewhere in your SDK source (I sometimes do this by mistake)?
Try checking, via the Debugging profile (Window > Perspective > Flex Debugging), the the Breakpoints view to see whether there's anything in there you don't recognize.
Also, when you're hung up, try stepping through the code (e.g., using F5 or F6) to see if that helps you figure out where the debugger's stopped.
Not 100% sure, because you're not hitting the error but - This might be an issue caused because the docs say you can't do the update while in the debugger:
When testing an application using the
AIR Debug Launcher (ADL) application,
attempting to update the application
results in an IllegalOperationError
exception.
This is from the livedocs.
