real-time-shape-detection

Project goal: use GPU on ODROID-XU4 and OpenCL acceleration to achieve real time shape and orientation detection of fast moving objects.

Part of system for automatic scarification and segregation of acorn seeds in an arboretum. Project done at the AGH University of Science and Technology.

Repository contains programs for detecting moving seed in a video stream. There is version for:

• embedded system ODROID-XU4 running Debian/Ubuntu with Basler industrial camera
• PC computer with default USB webcam

Repository also contains code for computing Hu moments and SVM classification of detected objects.

Run code on Ubuntu using your webcam

First, please install OpenCV 2.4

sudo apt install libopencv-dev

Compile application:

cd PC/camera
make

Run the application using default camera (usually webcam).

./capture

You will see that in the video stream from camera the application finds an object, shows its detected contour and computes the orientation. Orientation direction is shown in form of arrows.

Example output of the algorithm running on ODROID-XU4 minicomputer with Basler acA2000-165um high-speed camera:

OpenCL support on ODROID-XU4 with Ubuntu

Install https://developer.arm.com/technologies/compute-library

If the GL/gl.h is missing, install

sudo apt install mesa-common-dev

OpenCL generic Ubuntu packages

Basic installation

sudo apt install ocl-icd-libopencl1
