the LeafProject http://www.leafproject.org has a DLL for Face
recognition. it is written in C++ but they interface to it from Lisp.
I want to interface to it from C#.
Their Lisp definitions looks like this.

;;;; REGISTER THE VISION FACE RECOGNITION
DLL ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(fli:register-module "FaceRecog.dll")

; an interface function:
; -1 = ERROR: camera failed to start
; 0 = camera on successfully

; an interface function:
; -1 = ERROR: camera failed to stop

; an interface function:

()
:result-type :int)

; an interface function:
; -2 = ERROR: write error

; -3 = ERROR: could not read coefficient file
; -2 = ERROR: could not capture

; 0 or more = number of faces detected... if only one face detected,
then
; return string = image number as a string, eg. "6" means image 6

:result-type :int
:lambda-list (&aux return-string)
:language :c
:calling-convention :cdecl
:result-type :int)



So from that I looked up Pinvoke and wrote this code.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;


namespace FaceRecognition
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
[DllImport("facerecog.dll")]
public static extern int StartCamera();
[DllImport("FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int StopCamera();
[DllImport("FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int GetNum();
[DllImport("FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int DoEigen();
[DllImport("FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int AddFace();
[DllImport("FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int LookForFaces();



public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int result = StartCamera();
Console.WriteLine(" startcamera = " + result);
}
}
}

When I click the button to do StartCamera I get the following message
like it cannot find the DLL (which is in windows/system32). I have
tried moving the DLL to the C# apps directory too but that did not
help either. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Can you show the header file for C++ to access this? You woud probably
have more people able to help if you provided that, and it would be easier
to show you the declarations you would need.

I jsut got the .H file used. i was going by the LISP code. I'm not a C+

with the function names called. Am I missing somethign here?

Hi Ringo

I don't know for sure if the argument to the DllImportAttribute is case
sensitive or not, but I notice that the first one is in lower case in
your code:
[DllImport("facerecog.dll")]
public static extern int StartCamera();
[DllImport("FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int StopCamera();

using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;


namespace FaceRecognition

public static extern int StartCamera();
[DllImport("FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int StopCamera();
[DllImport("FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int GetNum();
[DllImport("FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int DoEigen();
[DllImport("FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int AddFace();
[DllImport("FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int LookForFaces();



public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int result = StartCamera();
Console.WriteLine(" startcamera = " + result);
}
}
}

When I click the button to do StartCamera I get the following message
like it cannot find the DLL (which is in windows/system32). I have
tried moving the DLL to the C# apps directory too but that did not
help either. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi Ringo

I don't know for sure if the argument to the DllImportAttribute is case
sensitive or not, but I notice that the first one is in lower case in
your code:


[DllImport("facerecog.dll")]
public static extern int StartCamera();
[DllImport("FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int StopCamera();

I've tried uppercase, lowercase, etc. I copied the name of the file
directly from the file itself and pasted that to be sure and still get
the same error. I have commented out all the other pinvokes except the
start camera and it still crashes. Must be something I'm missing. any
other ideas?

Have you tried hard-coding the path to the dll just to see if it works?
Also, is the facerecog.dll stand-alone? If so, place it in the same
directory as your application and it should work.

Can you show the header file for C++ to access this? You woud
probably
have more people able to help if you provided that, and it would be
easier
to show you the declarations you would need.

I've tried somethign like
[DllImport("c:\Windows\system32\FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int StartCamera();

But it did not like the "\"'s.

I also tried putting the dll where the .sln file goes and down 1
directory where the rest of the files go and got the same result.
still no luck.

Have you tried hard-coding the path to the dll just to see if it works?
Also, is the facerecog.dll stand-alone? If so, place it in the same
directory as your application and it should work.

Ringo,

If the path to the DLL is this:

"c:\Windows\system32\FaceRecog.dll"

Then your DllImport needs to be this:

[DllImport(@"c:\Windows\system32\FaceRecog.dll")]

Or this:


[DllImport("c:\\Windows\\system32\\FaceRecog.dll")]

Also, you say you put the dll one directory down from where the .sln
file is, which would be the project directory, but that isn't where the
output EXE is built. Place it in that directory and see if it works without
the full path.

I've tried somethign like
[DllImport("c:\Windows\system32\FaceRecog.dll")]
public static extern int StartCamera();

But it did not like the "\"'s.

I also tried putting the dll where the .sln file goes and down 1
directory where the rest of the files go and got the same result.
still no luck.

Have you tried hard-coding the path to the dll just to see if it
works?
Also, is the facerecog.dll stand-alone? If so, place it in the same
directory as your application and it should work.

I jsut got the .H file used. i was going by the LISP code. I'm not a C+

with the function names called. Am I missing somethign here?

Can you show the header file for C++ to access this? You woud
probably
have more people able to help if you provided that, and it would be
easier
to show you the declarations you would need.

I want to interface to it from C#.

I put it here
E:\FaceRecognition\FaceRecognition\bin\Debug
But still get the same error.

I also tried
[DllImport("c:\\Windows\\system32\\FaceRecog.dll")]
and
[DllImport(@"c:\Windows\system32\FaceRecog.dll")]
but with the same error
