Thanks for posting your work on this! We did make the Kinect work for MSC but are unhappy with the reliability of the Kinect server (crashes sometimes when we plug in the kinect) and the bulk of carrying around the connect.

We tried running this last night using your Match Geometric Pattern Alg combined with a print out of your sign as well as trying to generate our own. We've tried this while connected to our actual robot as well as while running the simulation robot.

We are not getting any matches. I am able to see the cam image and the "fire" png image that you provided after drilling all the way into the Find Fire VI.

When we drill down into the subvis we can successfully probe wires to confirm that data is flowing (ROI Descriptor, Image Dst, Settings, Error Out)...until we open the IVA Match Geometric Pattern Algorithm vi block inside of Find Fire Symbol VI. All probes from inside of this IVA Match Geometric VI show "not executed". Probing the terminals exiting the IVA Match VI (Matches, Calibrated Matches and Number of Matches) shows 0 as the values for all of the fields (as opposed to not executed or another numbers).

I've taken the PNG file and printed it to 11X17 copy paper. It does have a little bit of gloss on it but I suspect that I should be seeing something happening inside of that IVA Match Geometric VI regardless. Also my print of the fire sign png file does show up well in the probed black and white value I'm pulling from the webcam inside of Find Fire Symbol.

Attached is my code zipped.

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
