Building and Installing

Build system: CMake to set up build environment then whatever CMake gives you (depends on platform, make for Linux, etc.)

Dependencies: OpenCV 3.X, Boost 1.58, DeckLink (optional), ZBar

Note on DeckLink Dependencies: The most recent tested SDK is: "Desktop Video 10.9.5 SDK". When downloaded, rename the extracted folder to "DeckLinkSDK", then copy the entire folder into the /usr/local/include directory, such that /usr/local/include/DeckLinkSDK/Linux/include exists. Note on OpenCV: Help for installing OpenCV can be found here if installing from source.

Installation Instructions:

If you intend to use Windows or Mac, you will need to run a Docker image. The Docker image is pre-configured with the appropriate libraries. Please refer to the instructions here: Docker Installation

For Linux:

1. Install the dependencies listed above. This may vary based on your system.
2. Clone the Project
3. Run ./build.sh to build and compile the project.

Refer to the detailed instructions here: Linux Installation

Running the Program

After compiling, an executable will be present in the build directory. To run it type:

./warg-cv

Testing the Program

After compiling, in the build directory run:

make test or make test ARGS='-V' for verbose output

Goal:

To fill this chart with the right values: Judges Evaluation Sheet

This evaluation sheet includes spots to fill with latitudes, longitudes, centroids, areas, volumes, and QR code values.
